Taplio alternatives: seven options sorted by what you need
Seven Taplio alternatives grouped by need: cheaper AI writers, better editors for people who write, and tools that write and publish LinkedIn posts for you.
The right Taplio alternative depends on which part of Taplio you were not using. If you want a cheaper AI writer, look at Supergrow or EasyGen; if you write your own posts and want a better editor, look at AuthoredUp or Typefully; and if you want the posts written and published without sitting at the desk, look at ContentIn or GoodSocials.
This page covers seven options, grouped by need, with what each does well and who should skip it. What we say about other tools comes from their public sites, as of September 2026. Features and prices change, so check theirs before you decide.
What Taplio does well
Taplio is one of the best-known LinkedIn tools, and it earns that with breadth. It has an AI writer trained on a large set of LinkedIn posts, a feed of high-performing posts to borrow structure from, a scheduler with suggested times, analytics on your posts and followers, help drafting comments on other people's posts, and a database for finding leads. For someone who treats LinkedIn as a daily practice and tracks follower growth, it puts a lot of help in one place.
If that describes you, you may not need an alternative. When people leave, the reason is usually fit.
Why people look for a Taplio alternative
- Taplio assumes you are at the desk. You write with AI help, pick from the library, engage in the feed. If you do not have that hour, the tool sits unused.
- The breadth goes unused. Many people want posts, and never open the lead database or the engagement tools.
- Pricing is in tiers, with the AI writing features above the entry tier. If the AI writer is what you came for, check which tier includes it.
- The ideas lean on patterns from other people's popular posts. Some people want posts built on their own business and their own numbers instead.
- The goal differs. Taplio suits people who count followers. Others would rather count how many days they posted.
If you want a cheaper AI writer
- Supergrow: a LinkedIn writer at a price that is easy to say yes to. It learns your writing style, generates posts from a topic or your own material, builds carousels and visuals, and schedules them. A team plan adds shared spaces and client approvals. Skip it if you do not want to start every post yourself.
- EasyGen: writes posts in your style, informed by what top creators publish and what is trending, on a single monthly plan with a free trial. Skip it if you want posts grounded in your own business rather than in the wider feed.
If you write your own posts
- AuthoredUp: a browser extension that improves LinkedIn's own composer with formatting, previews of where the post folds, saved hooks and endings, a library of your past posts and analytics LinkedIn does not show. Priced per user with team pricing. Skip it if you want AI to do the writing.
- Typefully: a calm writing and scheduling app for X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon, with a free plan and AI help on paid tiers. Skip it if LinkedIn growth tools such as a post library are what you valued in Taplio.
If you want the posts written for you
- ContentIn: an AI ghostwriter that learns your voice from your past posts and an interview, plans drafts for the week, publishes through LinkedIn's official API and reports on how posts did. It supports company pages. Skip it if you want to post close to daily.
- GoodSocials: writes posts from your website and four themes, puts them on a board where you approve, revise or reject, and publishes one a day at 09:00 in your timezone. Skip it if you want engagement tools, analytics or anything besides personal LinkedIn profiles.
If LinkedIn is one network of several
Buffer is the calm choice here. It schedules to LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, X and more, has a free plan, charges per connected channel, and offers an AI assistant for rewording and ideas. You write the posts. Skip it if LinkedIn is the only network that matters and you want tools built for it.
What you give up when you leave Taplio
Be clear about the trade before you switch. None of the seven tools above replaces all of Taplio. The lead database and the comment drafting have no direct equivalent in most of them, and GoodSocials does neither by design. If prospecting on LinkedIn is part of your week, you may end up with two tools: one for posts and one for outreach.
- The library of high-performing posts to borrow structure from.
- Help drafting comments on other people's posts.
- The lead database.
- Follower and post analytics in the same place you write.
How to switch without a gap in your posting
- Download your LinkedIn data archive first, so you have every past post in one file whatever tool you use next.
- Let the posts already queued in Taplio go out before you cancel, or move them by hand.
- Start the new tool's trial the same week, with a real week of posts, so your cadence does not drop.
- Reconnect LinkedIn in the new tool. Every tool that posts for you needs its own authorisation, and each one lasts 60 days.
- After two weeks, compare posts published with the two weeks before the switch.
How GoodSocials handles this
GoodSocials is for the person who liked the idea of Taplio but never had the hour a day. The agent writes from your website and four themes, and a revise comment rewrites the card and updates your voice, visual or format principle, so you do not make the same correction twice. Posts can cite real figures from Stripe, GitHub, PostHog, Plausible or Notion, read only, and a quality gate holds anything that looks invented.
It costs $100 a month per profile, with writing, up to 200 images a month and publishing included, and 14 days free. If you want the lead database and the engagement help, stay with Taplio.
