Franklin Covey and DayTimer are the two big planner brands in the United States. Lucky for those of us who use them, their sizes and ring format are pretty compatible.
However, each company uses its own terminology. This is led to confusion by not only myself but other members of the planner world when we’re trying to compare planners.
Here is a list of the size and insert measurements each company uses:
Franklin Covey | Measurement | DayTimer |
Monarch | 8.5 inches x 11 inches | Folio |
Classic | 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches | Desk |
Compact | 4.25 inches x 6.75 inches | No comparable size |
No comparable size | 3.75 inches x 6.75 inches | Portable |
3.5 inches x 6 inches | No comparable size |
What I can add from the information in the above chart is that if you have a Compact or Portfolio size planner, if the ring format matches you should still be able to use the insert from the FC Compact & Pocket and the DayTimer Portable.

I don’t use a filoflax, but after scribbling into a notebook and then having to turn 50 ages to find what I need, I think I should invest, yours look really good 🙂 x
