Top 3 Alternatives to Taplio in 2026

Taplio is probably the most well-known LinkedIn growth tool out there. It's got AI post generation, a carousel maker, analytics, and a massive database of viral posts you can browse for inspiration. If you're a solo creator who lives and breathes LinkedIn metrics, it does a lot.

But it's not for everyone. I've talked to plenty of people who tried Taplio and bounced off it. The AI posts felt generic. There was no way to work with a team. And if you're the kind of person who gets ideas in Slack or while walking around with your phone, Taplio just doesn't meet you where you are.

I've used most of the LinkedIn tools on the market at this point, and I built TeamPost because none of them worked the way I needed. Here's my honest take on the three best alternatives.

What to Look For in a Taplio Alternative

Before picking a tool, figure out what actually matters to you:

  • Voice preservation — Does the AI sound like you, or does every post read like it came off an assembly line?
  • Content inputs — Can you feed in voice notes, articles, Slack messages? Or are you stuck with prompts and templates?
  • Team support — If you're managing LinkedIn for multiple people, does the tool actually handle that?
  • Scheduling and publishing — Can you schedule and publish straight to LinkedIn?
  • Integrations — Does it fit into where you already work?

1. TeamPost

TeamPost works completely differently from Taplio. There are no template libraries or viral post databases. Instead, you feed it your own stuff — voice notes, articles, rough ideas, Slack messages — and it generates posts from that.

What makes it stand out:

  • Magic Drafts from your content library — Drop in articles you've written, podcast transcripts, talk notes, whatever. The AI pulls from your actual thinking instead of generating something generic from a prompt.
  • Slack bot integration — This is the one I use the most honestly. Send a few bullet points to the TeamPost Slack bot and get a draft back in seconds. No context switching, no opening another app.
  • Built for teams — Admins can manage content for multiple people. If you're a marketing lead or running executive comms, this is where Taplio completely falls short.
  • Scheduling and direct publishing — Schedule posts ahead of time, publish directly to LinkedIn, @mentions and all.
  • Voice-first workflow — Record a voice note, get a post back that sounds like you. No prompt engineering needed.

Where it's not as strong: TeamPost doesn't have the depth of analytics or the viral post database that Taplio does. If you mainly want to study what's performing on LinkedIn at a macro level, Taplio has more data.

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

2. Supergrow

Supergrow is a template-driven LinkedIn writing tool. It gives you a big library of post formats — listicles, stories, hot takes, how-tos — and the AI fills them in based on your topic.

What makes it stand out:

  • Template variety — One of the bigger collections out there. Helpful if you just want structural inspiration to get started.
  • Content repurposing — Paste a blog post URL and it'll generate LinkedIn posts from it.
  • Carousel creation — Built-in carousel maker for visual posts.

Where it falls short: The template approach means posts start to sound the same. If you read a lot of LinkedIn, you can spot the Supergrow patterns pretty quickly. No team features, no Slack integration.

Pricing: Plans start around $19/month.

3. AuthoredUp

AuthoredUp is all about formatting and composition. It layers a rich text editor on top of LinkedIn's native composer — bold, italic, bullet points, emoji formatting, the works.

What makes it stand out:

  • Rich text formatting — Best-in-class for making your posts look good. If you care about visual formatting, AuthoredUp nails it.
  • Draft management — Save and organize drafts with tags and folders.
  • Analytics — Solid post-performance tracking.

Where it falls short: It doesn't write posts for you. It's a formatting tool, not a generation tool. And there's no team support.

Pricing: Plans start around $19.95/month.

Which Alternative Should You Choose?

Depends on what frustrated you about Taplio:

  • Choose TeamPost if you want AI that works from your own content, need team features, or want to capture ideas via Slack and voice notes.
  • Choose Supergrow if you like writing from templates and want a big library of formats.
  • Choose AuthoredUp if you mainly want better formatting and analytics, and you're happy writing your own content.

Taplio is solid for solo creators who want analytics and template-based generation. But if you've outgrown that — if you want posts that actually sound like you, or you need team workflows — one of these alternatives will serve you better. Try each one and see which fits how you actually work.
