How we grade them
| 2.6GPAPublerGood | 2.0GPATaplioFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBusiness, the plan with analytics and approvals, is $8 an account a month billed yearly, so five accounts are $40, and each extra team member adds to that. That's above this category's $29 middle and under the $58 dearer quarter. Professional is $20 for five. | DOne network, so we set it against its listed alternatives. Two people on Growth, where AI and team features start, pay $98 a month billed yearly ($49 a seat), less 10% for 2 seats. Buffer covers five networks for a team at $50, and Hypefury posts to LinkedIn and four more for about $17. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree for good with 3 accounts and 10 queued posts each, but no X, 25 drafts and only 24 hours of published-post history, and analytics are a Business thing. Fine for a try, tight for a business. | CNo free plan, but a 7-day trial with full Pro access, then a 30-day money-back guarantee. The guarantee isn't a trial, so it's the week that earns the grade. |
| Features | CCalendar, bulk uploads of up to 500 posts, RSS, recycling, AI, competitor tracking and approvals on Business. The gaps it shows: no social inbox in its listing, a daily posting cap only Enterprise lifts, and an API only for eligible customers. | CScheduling, a library of 5 million posts for ideas, AI posts and carousels, engagement feeds, analytics, and lead outreach on Pro. It does the LinkedIn job fully, but that's a smaller job, and Starter has no AI or engagement tools at all. |
| Ease of use | AIts iPhone and iPad app averages 4.75 from about 26,600 ratings, and connecting accounts and scheduling a first post is quick. | CThere's no App Store rating on record for us to go by, and its Connect extension has to stay in a desktop Chromium browser logged into LinkedIn, or scheduled posts fail. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, with Canva, Google Drive, Unsplash, WordPress and Linkie. No desktop app, which an A needs. | BWeb and a browser extension, with lemlist, Zapier, Tweet Hunter, Claude, ChatGPT and an API. No phone or desktop app is listed, so web with integrations is where it tops out. |
| Best for | cheap scheduling to lots of networks | building a personal brand on LinkedIn |

Worth knowing

Taplio
- Publishes to LinkedIn only; posting to X needs Tweet Hunter, a separate subscription from the same company.
- Its Connect extension must stay in a desktop Chromium browser logged into LinkedIn, or scheduled posts fail.
