Finally, the Personal size is a common size for custom inserts which might be appealing if you need something specific. Using Franklin Covey inserts in a Filofax may be a little too tight and Filofax inserts in a Franklin may have a bit too much excess space but the option is there. The Personal size offers the widest range of potential planner refills, while the overall size of the planner is still portable. Binders designed for the Compact-sized paper are a bit wider to accommodate the larger paper. The Personal (Filofax, et al) and Compact (Franklin) sizes are the same height and feature the same 6-hole configuration (two sets of three holes placed to the top and bottom of the spine) but the Personal size pages is about a 1/2″ wider. I’d recommend keeping a note with the measurements of your preferred planner insert size handy and always check the written size unless you are buying the refills to coordinate with your planner brand. Filofax, Kikki K, DayRunner, DayTimer and others use the “Personal” sized pages but each company has their own name for the size.

Franklin Covey is the only company I’m aware of that uses the “Compact” size.

The most popular planner size is the Personal (paper is 95mm x 170mm, or 3.75″ x 6.75″ - PLOTTER has decided to call this size “Bible” which is extra confusing) or the Compact (with paper measuring 4.25” x 6.75″).
