Which one is for you
Pick AuthoredUp if
- Fits if LinkedIn is the only place you post
- Works for ghostwriters and agencies running several LinkedIn profiles
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you also post to Instagram, X or Facebook, because it covers LinkedIn only
- Not for you if you want scheduling without a browser extension: video, polls and events publish through it
- Tight if you're a team: Business needs at least 3 profiles and the Custom Growth Plan 10
- Watch out: the Coauthor AI writing assistant is described as a closed beta
Pick Hypefury if
- Fits if you write for Bluesky, Threads and LinkedIn and post the same text to each
- Works for creators on one or two networks, at $5 a channel a month billed yearly
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if X is your main network: the pricing page says X is no longer supported
- Watch out: the homepage and help center still describe X features the pricing page says are gone
- Too light for business teams that need an inbox, approvals or Facebook
- Not for you if you post from your phone, since it's browser only with no apps
- Tight if you want a free plan: there's a 7-day trial, and at $6 a network, three networks cost about Full's $19
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAAuthoredUpFair | 2.2GPAHypefuryFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$16.63 a month on annual billing ($19.95 monthly) for one LinkedIn profile, just under the category's $17.99 cheaper-quarter mark. | BFull is $199 a year, about $16.60 a month, for all five of its networks. It's narrower than most of this category, so we set it against its listed alternatives: Buffer, Publer, Metricool, SocialBee and Taplio all cost more for five channels. No team seats are listed. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree trial with no card, but its length isn't stated. No free plan. | CNo free plan, only a 7-day trial with no card needed, which is a short window to judge whether Autoplugs earn their keep. |
| Features | CEditor with previews, drafts, calendar, scheduling and analytics for LinkedIn. It does that one job fully, but it's a smaller job than a full scheduler. | CCross-posting, Tweetshots that turn text into images and videos, Autoplugs, Instagram Auto DMs, evergreen reposts and AI drafts. It does the creator's job, but on five networks: no X any more, no Facebook, and no inbox on record. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You install a Chrome extension and connect your LinkedIn account. | CThere's no App Store rating on record for us to go by, and you'll connect each network and set up Autoplugs first. So it gets the ordinary grade. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb plus a Chrome extension, for one network. No phone apps on record. | CBrowser only: its pages list no phone or desktop apps, and its only connections are the five networks it posts to. That's one family of devices. |
| Best for | writing and scheduling LinkedIn posts | creators posting the same writing everywhere |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
