Shruti KaushikAuthoredUp is a $19.95-a-month editor, preview, scheduler and analytics tool whose AI assistant is still in closed beta, so most people leave it for a tool that writes. LinkGenie from $19 is the cheapest AI drafter, Supergrow and ContentIn at $39 add voice-matched drafts and a calendar, Postiv adds a planning agent, and Taplio adds outreach. Klype AI at $39 measures your voice from your own posts and checks every draft for unsupported claims; for many people the answer is a writer plus AuthoredUp as the editor.
Why people look for an AuthoredUp alternative
AuthoredUp is good at the mechanics of posting: formatting, a multi-device preview of the "see more" fold, 300+ hooks and 150+ closings, scheduling through its Chrome extension, and detailed analytics with CSV export and an API key on every plan. Individual is $19.95 a month, Business is $14.95 per profile with a minimum of three, and the trial needs no card. The gap is drafting: Coauthor, its AI assistant, is in closed beta, so for a first draft written for you, a planned week, or a score on whether a draft reads as machine-written, you need something else, often alongside it.

Klype AI: if credibility matters more than volume
Klype is our product, so weigh this section accordingly. It keeps one record of your product, buyer and plan, measures your voice as numbers from your own posts, and its Check scores any draft, including one from ChatGPT, for figures with no source, invented stories and machine-writing patterns before you post. $39 a month; the 7-day trial charges nothing until day 8. The checks are free at klype.ai/check.
Against AuthoredUp: AuthoredUp grades readability and length; Klype grades credibility, flagging figures with no source, invented scenes and machine patterns. Klype has no feed preview or analytics to match AuthoredUp's, so the two pair well.
Where it falls short: it launched on 1 October 2026, so its track record is short, and it does not schedule or post.
Best for: founders and consultants who write under their own name and care that every claim holds up.
Supergrow: voice-matched drafts with scheduling
Supergrow drafts from a "Content DNA" profile built from your existing posts, then schedules with a calendar and an auto first comment. Engagement is suggested, never automated. Pro is $39 a month with a 7-day trial; Teams is $199 for employee advocacy.
Supergrow adds what AuthoredUp lacks today: drafts from your existing posts.
Best for: people who want drafting and scheduling in one tool without outreach automation.
ContentIn: a done-for-you weekly plan
ContentIn plans your week, drafts from a "Voice DNA" built from a profile import, an interview, your posts and your edits, and publishes through LinkedIn's official API. Growth is $39 a month; Pro at $59 adds a light leads view. The 7-day trial asks for a card, with a 30-day refund on the first payment.
ContentIn is the opposite of an editor: it plans and writes the week and publishes through the official API.
Best for: founders who want a weekly plan handed to them and posts sent on schedule.
LinkGenie: the budget option
LinkGenie (linkgenie.one, not the unrelated linkgenie.co) is metered by posts. The free plan gives two posts with no card. Starter is $19 a month for 50 posts; Pro is $26 for 200 and adds scheduling, analytics, trend research and a Chrome extension; Premium at $36 removes the cap. It learns your voice from pasted posts or a questionnaire.
LinkGenie Starter at $19 is the only AI drafter on this page priced below AuthoredUp.
Best for: people who post a few times a week and want a fast first draft to edit at the lowest price.
Postiv: a planning agent that fills the calendar
Postiv is built around Bob, a planning agent that suggests one idea per slot from your content pillars, sources and last week's results, then drafts posts, carousels and infographics in your brand kit and publishes through the official LinkedIn API with approvals. Public pricing is annual only: Creator Pro at $594 a year, shown as $49.50 a month, with a 7-day trial; its AI-instructions file lists $99 monthly. Admins can turn on team likes.
Postiv drafts posts, carousels and infographics and fills a calendar with an agent.
Best for: founders with plenty of source material who want a planner to turn it into a full calendar.
Taplio: the all-in-one, if you accept automation
Taplio bundles AI writing, scheduling, an engagement feed and outreach. By its own pricing guide the Starter plan is $39 a month but AI writing starts on the $69 Growth plan, and the Pro plan can auto-send connection requests and follow-up DMs.
Taplio covers writing, scheduling, an engagement feed and outreach.
Best for: people who want writing, scheduling and outreach in one place and are comfortable with automation on their account.
How to choose in one afternoon
Write one rough idea you would genuinely post this week. Draft it by hand in AuthoredUp, then run the same idea through two of the trials above.
Judge the drafts on two questions: does it sound like you, and does every claim hold up? Paste each into the free post checker to compare them on the same rules. The tool that needs the fewest corrections is the right one.
Common questions
What is the best AuthoredUp alternative?
For AI drafting, Supergrow at $39 is the most direct step up. For a planned week, ContentIn. For the lowest price, LinkGenie from $19. Klype AI suits people who want drafts measured against their own posts and checked for unsupported claims, and it pairs well with AuthoredUp as the editor.
Does AuthoredUp write posts with AI?
Its assistant, Coauthor, learns your voice from your own posts but was in closed beta on 9 October 2026. Every other tool on this page drafts today.
Can I use AuthoredUp with one of these tools?
Yes. Draft in Klype AI, Supergrow or LinkGenie, then paste into AuthoredUp for formatting, preview and scheduling. Klype's Check will score a draft from anywhere before you paste it.
Is this comparison independent?
No. Klype AI wrote it and Klype is included. Competitor facts come from each vendor's own site, linked above with the date checked.
