AuthoredUp alternatives in 2026, for the two opposite reasons people leave

Summarize with AIClaudeChatGPTPerplexity

We sell a LinkedIn writing tool, so weigh this accordingly. ‼️ Every figure was read off the vendor's own pricing page on 27 August 2026, and no capability is attributed to any tool unless it appears on that tool's own page. That rule is doing real work here: it is the reason this page does not describe AuthoredUp as an AI writer.

What does AuthoredUp actually cost, and what does it do?

Quick answer

AuthoredUp is $19.95 a month for one profile and $14.95 per profile on three or more. ‼️ What matters more than the price is the job: its own page advertises an editor, analytics, drafts and snippets. It does not advertise AI post generation, so it is not a drafting tool.

PlanMonthlyAnnualDoes it reconcile?
Individual, 1 profile$19.95/mo$16.63/mo, billed at $199.50/year✅ $16.63 x 12 = $199.56
Business, 3+ profiles$14.95 per profile/mo$12.46 per profile/mo, billed at $149.50/year✅ $12.46 x 12 = $149.52
AuthoredUp's published plans, read on 27 August 2026. Both annual figures multiply out to the stated yearly total, which is rarer in this category than it should be.
  • What its own page lists: "Editor with text styling, bullet points and preview", "Unlimited drafts, snippets and company pages", "300+ hooks and post endings", "1-click post reuse", analytics, "Monitor your LinkedIn performance" and "Access your posts insights".
  • ‼️ Nothing in that list is post generation, and we are not going to imply otherwise to make a tidier comparison table.
  • The reconciling arithmetic deserves a mention because three of the four other vendors we priced get theirs wrong on their own pages. It is a small signal about how a company runs, and it costs you nothing to notice.
  • At $14.95 per profile the Business tier is the cheapest per-profile price of anything we priced in this category.

If you left because you wanted drafting

Quick answer

Then you are not looking for an AuthoredUp alternative, you are looking for a different category. Supergrow is $19 a month, Taplio is $39 and Kleo is $99, and all three advertise AI post generation on their own pages. AuthoredUp was never competing for this job.

ToolEntry monthlyEntry annualWorth knowing
Supergrow$19/mo$16/mo‼️ Its "20% off all plans" does not hold on Teams
Taplio$39/mo$32/mo‼️ Its Pro card is $600 out on the annual total
Kleo$99/mo$83.25/mo ($999/yr)Includes a 1:1 onboarding call. ‼️ Names no analytics
VoiceMoat, ours$35/mo$29.17/mo ($350/yr)Twitter and LinkedIn. No carousels or design
Tools that advertise AI post generation on their own pricing pages, read on 27 August 2026 in both billing positions.
  • ‼️ The cheapest route is to keep AuthoredUp and add a writer, not to replace it. AuthoredUp at $19.95 plus Supergrow at $19 is $38.95, which is less than Taplio's Growth tier alone.
  • That is not the advice these pages usually give, because a single recommendation is easier to sell. It is what the arithmetic says.
  • If you would rather have one tool, Taplio and Supergrow both include analytics as well as writing, so they can genuinely replace both halves.

Fuller breakdowns are at our Supergrow alternatives page, our Kleo alternatives page and our Taplio alternatives page.

If you left because you wanted better analytics

Quick answer

‼️ That question got harder this month. Shield, the best-known dedicated LinkedIn analytics tool, has shut down. Its notice says Google and LinkedIn made clear it could not continue as built. The remaining options are broader tools with analytics inside them, or LinkedIn's own free analytics.

  • ‼️ Shield is still recommended on most published lists and it no longer exists. Check that anything recommended to you is still trading before you plan around it.
  • Taplio's own page describes "Analyse: See what's working and double down", and Supergrow lists "Insights & Analytics" and "Team Analytics". Both are analytics inside a broader product rather than the product.
  • LinkedIn's own analytics cost nothing, come from the platform itself, and cannot be withdrawn by a third party closing. That is a more relevant advantage this month than it was last month.
  • ⚠️ We have not compared analytics depth across these tools and no claim about it appears on this page. What we can tell you is what each vendor advertises and what each one charges.

The full account of Shield's closure and what still reads LinkedIn data is at our Shield analytics page.

Where we fit, and where we do not

Quick answer

We make VoiceMoat, and we are on the drafting side of this split. We write in your voice for Twitter and LinkedIn. ‼️ We are not an AuthoredUp replacement if what you valued was the editor, the preview and the post history.

  • ‼️ Said plainly: if formatting and previewing LinkedIn posts is the job, AuthoredUp does it for $19.95 and we do not do it at all.
  • Our prices: Free at $0, Creator $35 a month, Pro $69, Enterprise $150, annual billed at ten times monthly.
  • Our entry is $15 more than AuthoredUp's, for a different job, and pretending those two numbers are comparable would be the kind of table this page exists to avoid.

What this page could not answer

Several things were researched, could not be verified, and are left off this page rather than included with a hedge.

  • Whether AuthoredUp's analytics are deeper than Taplio's or Supergrow's. We have not compared them and no published test exists that we could open.
  • ‼️ Whether AuthoredUp has added AI generation since we read its page. We report what its pricing page advertised on 27 August 2026. If that changes, this page is out of date and its own page is the authority.
  • ⚠️ Search demand for this comparison is thin. "authoredup alternatives" returns one suggestion on Google and none on Bing or DuckDuckGo.
  • ⚠️ Prices change. Everything here was read on 27 August 2026 in both billing positions.
  • We sell a competing writing tool, which is why this page's main recommendation is to keep AuthoredUp and add a writer rather than to replace it with us.

Frequently asked questions

How much does AuthoredUp cost in 2026?
AuthoredUp lists an Individual plan at $19.95 a month for one profile, or $16.63 a month billed at $199.50 a year, and a Business plan at $14.95 per profile a month for three or more, or $12.46 billed at $149.50 a year.
Does AuthoredUp write posts with AI?
Its own pricing page does not advertise AI post generation. What it lists is an editor with text styling and preview, unlimited drafts and snippets, analytics, 300+ hooks and post endings, and 1-click post reuse. If drafting is what you want, it is not that tool.
What is the best AuthoredUp alternative for analytics?
That question got harder this month. Shield, the best-known dedicated LinkedIn analytics tool, has shut down. LinkedIn's own native analytics are free and first-party, and Taplio and Supergrow both include analytics inside broader products.
Is there a cheaper AuthoredUp alternative?
Not meaningfully among tools doing the same job. At $19.95 for one profile it is already at the bottom of this category, and its Business tier at $14.95 per profile is cheaper still at scale.

Want content that actually sounds like you?

VoiceMoat trains an AI on your full profile (posts, replies, threads, and images) and refuses to draft anything off-voice. $1 for 3 days.
