Top 3 Alternatives to AuthoredUp in 2026

AuthoredUp nails one thing really well: making LinkedIn posts look good. The rich text editor, draft management, and analytics are genuinely great. If you've ever wrestled with LinkedIn's terrible native composer, the first time you use AuthoredUp's bold text, bullet points, and spacing controls feels like a breath of fresh air.

But formatting is just one piece of the puzzle. AuthoredUp doesn't generate content for you. It doesn't schedule posts. No team collaboration. If you need more than a nicer text editor, those gaps add up fast.

Here are three tools that go beyond formatting into actual content generation, scheduling, and team workflows.

What to Look For in an AuthoredUp Alternative

If you're thinking about moving on from AuthoredUp, you probably want some mix of these:

  • AI content generation — Actually generating draft posts, not just formatting ones you've already written.
  • End-to-end workflow — Create, edit, schedule, and publish from one place.
  • Team support — Manage content for multiple people, collaborate with ghostwriters.
  • Integrations — Slack, voice notes, idea capture on the go.
  • Formatting quality — You still want clean, well-formatted posts. Obviously.

1. TeamPost

TeamPost picks up exactly where AuthoredUp leaves off. AuthoredUp helps you format posts you've already written. TeamPost helps you generate those posts in the first place — then schedule and publish them.

What makes it stand out:

  • AI generation from your content — This is the big one. Magic Drafts generates LinkedIn posts from your content library: articles you've written, podcast transcripts, talk notes, rough ideas, voice recordings. The AI works from your actual material, not generic prompts.
  • Voice note workflow — Record yourself talking through an idea and TeamPost turns it into a structured LinkedIn post. If you think better by talking than typing, this is a game changer.
  • Slack integration — Send a bullet-point idea to the Slack bot, get a polished draft back. Don't even need to be at your desk.
  • Team and organization features — Manage content for multiple LinkedIn profiles. Admins review, edit, and approve posts before anything goes live. Essential for companies managing executive thought leadership.
  • Scheduling and publishing — Timezone support, direct LinkedIn publishing, @mentions. All built in.

Where it's not as strong: TeamPost's editor is functional but doesn't match AuthoredUp's formatting granularity. If pixel-perfect formatting is your absolute top priority, AuthoredUp still has an edge there.

Pricing: Free tier available, paid plans start at $29/month.

2. Taplio

Taplio is a well-known LinkedIn growth platform — AI generation, analytics, viral post database. It gives you more of a complete workflow than AuthoredUp, though it takes a different approach than TeamPost.

What makes it stand out:

  • AI post generation — Generate posts from prompts, refine and iterate on the output.
  • Viral post database — Browse thousands of high-performing posts for inspiration on what formats and topics work.
  • Analytics dashboard — Track performance, engagement trends, audience growth.
  • Carousel maker — Create carousel posts right in the platform. These still perform well on LinkedIn.
  • Scheduling — Plan and schedule posts in advance.

Where it falls short: Taplio's AI is prompt-based — you're starting from scratch, not from your own content. Output can feel generic if you don't spend time customizing. Team features aren't as developed.

Pricing: Plans start around $49/month.

3. Supergrow

Supergrow is a template-driven writing tool. It gives you a big library of post formats and uses AI to fill them in.

What makes it stand out:

  • Extensive template library — Dozens of formats organized by type: stories, listicles, hot takes, how-tos. Good if you want structural variety.
  • Content repurposing — Paste a blog post URL and get LinkedIn posts from it.
  • Carousel creation — Built-in carousel maker.
  • Affordable entry point — Cheaper than most competitors.

Where it falls short: Template content gets repetitive fast. Regular LinkedIn readers start recognizing the patterns. No team features, no Slack integration, and posts don't necessarily sound like you.

Pricing: Plans start around $19/month.

Which Alternative Should You Choose?

Think about what's missing from your workflow:

  • Choose TeamPost if you want the full package — AI generation from your own content, scheduling, team collaboration, Slack integration. It covers the most ground beyond what AuthoredUp does.
  • Choose Taplio if you want analytics and viral post inspiration plus AI generation, and you're a solo creator focused on growth metrics.
  • Choose Supergrow if you prefer templates and frameworks over free-form generation, and you're on a tighter budget.

AuthoredUp is genuinely excellent at formatting and draft management — no argument there. But LinkedIn content creation is way more than formatting. If you've outgrown what AuthoredUp can do, any of these alternatives will expand your capabilities.
