It pairs the calendar with analytics on your posts and on the comments you leave, but it can't post to Company Pages or schedule polls, and the three tools above it can do at least one of those. The other 9 were picked from the tools that the ranking pages for this search keep citing, and none of the links here are affiliate links. ## At a glance | # | Tool | From | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Buffer | Free, then from $5/channel/mo (billed yearly) | Solo creators and small brands | | 2 | AuthoredUp | From $19.95/mo | Writers and Page admins | | 3 | Taplio | From $39/mo | Creators who want AI help | | 4 | MyFeedIn (this site) | From $15/mo | Creators on one personal profile | | 5 | ContentIn | From $19/mo | Founders who don't want to write | | 6 | Supergrow | From $19/mo | Solo creators and executive teams | | 7 | SocialBee | From $29/mo | Brands on several networks | | 8 | Publer | Free, then from $5/mo | Budget-minded social media managers | | 9 | Hootsuite | From $99/user/mo (billed yearly) | Marketing teams | | 10 | Sprout Social | From $79/seat/mo (billed yearly) | Agencies and in-house social teams | ## Compared | Tool | From | Company Page posting | PDF carousels | Video posts | Polls | Automatic first comment | Other networks | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Buffer | Free, then from $5/channel/mo (billed yearly) | Yes | Yes (PDF and carousel posts) | Yes | Not documented | Partly (Paid plans only, not the Free plan) | Yes | | AuthoredUp | From $19.95/mo | Yes | Yes | Yes (Video, polls and events publish through the extension) | Yes (Publishes through the extension) | Not documented | No | | Taplio | From $39/mo | Yes | Yes | Yes | Not documented | Not documented | No | | MyFeedIn (this site) | From $15/mo | No | Yes | Yes (Growth plan) | No | Yes (Growth plan) | No | | ContentIn | From $19/mo | Partly (Company pages on the Pro plan) | Yes (Carousels and slideshows) | Yes | Not documented | Yes (Posted through LinkedIn's official API right after the post goes live) | No | | Supergrow | From $19/mo | Partly (Engage can comment as an authorized Company Page; posting to Pages isn't documented) | Not documented | Not documented | Not documented | Yes | No | | SocialBee | From $29/mo | Yes | Yes (PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT or PPTX up to 100 MB, on profiles and Pages) | Yes | Not documented | Yes | Yes | | Publer | Free, then from $5/mo | Yes | Yes (PDF carousels up to 100 slides, from PDF, PPT, DOC or photos) | Yes | Not documented | Not documented | Yes | | Hootsuite | From $99/user/mo (billed yearly) | Yes | Yes (One PDF per post (up to 300 pages, 100 MB), not combined with images or video) | Yes | No (Hootsuite says LinkedIn's API doesn't allow it to publish polls, carousels, events or articles) | Yes | Yes | | Sprout Social | From $79/seat/mo (billed yearly) | Yes | Yes | Yes | No (Polls must be created directly in LinkedIn) | Yes | Yes | Checked on each vendor's own pages, latest on 2026-09-17. ## LinkedIn's own scheduler might be enough LinkedIn schedules posts for free, on desktop and in the app, for profiles and Company Pages. Before paying for a tool, check whether one of these limits is actually in your way. - **Up to 3 months ahead.** From 10 minutes out on a personal profile and 1 hour out on a Company Page. Plenty for most people. - **No first comment.** The composer has no option for it, so a link you keep out of the post body has to be added by hand when the post goes live. - **Company Pages get fewer formats.** Pages can't schedule polls, multi-photo posts or reshares. Personal profiles can schedule polls and multiple photos. - **A list, not a calendar.** Scheduled posts sit in a list inside the composer, so seeing your week at a glance takes a tool. ## How we ranked these Three questions decided the order: - **What can it publish on LinkedIn?** PDF carousels, video, polls, a first comment, posting as a Company Page. Most tools support LinkedIn, fewer support the formats that do well on it. We read each vendor's LinkedIn help article rather than their homepage. - **Is LinkedIn the point, or one network of eight?** Multi-network suites are the right call for a brand on Instagram and TikTok too. If LinkedIn is where you grow, a LinkedIn-first tool usually goes further on it. - **What does one profile cost?** The entry price for a single LinkedIn profile, read on the pricing page, with the billing period it assumes. Per-seat and per-channel pricing is called out, because it changes the bill fast. ## 1. Buffer **Free, then from $5/channel/mo (billed yearly) · Best for Solo creators and small brands** *The easiest place to start, free or paid* Still the simplest scheduler to set up, and one of the most complete on LinkedIn: text, images, GIFs, PDFs, carousels, video and link previews, on profiles and Company Pages alike. The free plan covers three channels with ten posts queued on each, and paid plans are priced per channel, so one LinkedIn profile stays cheap. **Pros** - Free plan that genuinely works for one LinkedIn profile - PDF carousels, video and Company Pages all supported - First comment scheduling once you pay **Cons** - Per-channel pricing adds up once you connect several networks - The free plan caps your queue at 10 scheduled posts per channel [Website](https://buffer.com) · [Compared with MyFeedIn](https://myfeedin.co/alternatives/buffer) ## 2. AuthoredUp **From $19.95/mo · Best for Writers and Page admins** *For people who write inside LinkedIn* AuthoredUp lives in LinkedIn's own composer through its Chrome extension: formatting, drafts, previews, a calendar and analytics where you already write. It covers every Company Page you admin at no extra cost and is the clearest here about polls and events, with one catch worth knowing: scheduling, video and polls run through the extension. **Pros** - Unlimited Company Pages on every plan, no per-page fee - Polls, events, documents and video in the same composer - Free trial with no credit card **Cons** - Scheduling depends on the Chrome extension - The team plan needs at least three profiles [Website](https://authoredup.com) · [Compared with MyFeedIn](https://myfeedin.co/alternatives/authoredup) ## 3. Taplio **From $39/mo · Best for Creators who want AI help** *Scheduling inside a full LinkedIn growth suite* Taplio schedules text, images, documents, video and full carousels to your profile or a Company Page, at the slots your followers are most active. Scheduling is one part of a larger product that also writes posts with AI, finds ideas and tracks analytics, and the price reflects that. **Pros** - Profile and Company Page on the same calendar - Best-time slots and carousel drip scheduling - 7-day trial with full Pro access, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee **Cons** - The highest entry price among the LinkedIn-first tools here - You pay for AI writing even if scheduling is all you need [Website](https://taplio.com) · [Compared with MyFeedIn](https://myfeedin.co/alternatives/taplio) ## 4. MyFeedIn **From $15/mo · Best for Creators on one personal profile** *A calendar for your posts, and the numbers after* Write the post, add images or a PDF carousel, and drop it on the calendar. MyFeedIn publishes it and then shows what it did, next to the analytics of the comments you leave on other people's posts. Video and an automatic first comment come with the Growth plan. It posts to personal profiles only. **Pros** - Calendar, post analytics and comment analytics in one $15 plan - Can publish through LinkedIn's official API - 7-day free trial with no credit card **Cons** - No Company Page posting and no polls - Video and first comment need the Growth plan [Website](https://myfeedin.co) ## 5. ContentIn **From $19/mo · Best for Founders who don't want to write** *An AI ghostwriter with a solid scheduler* ContentIn is built around an AI writer trained on your own posts, with a weekly calendar underneath. The scheduler handles images, videos and carousels, and it publishes a first comment right after the post goes live through LinkedIn's official API. If you only want scheduling and analytics, the Essentials plan skips the AI writer. **Pros** - Scheduled first comments, posted through LinkedIn's official API - An Essentials plan for scheduling and analytics without AI - 7-day trial and a 30-day refund on the first payment **Cons** - Company Pages only on the top plan - No free plan once the trial ends [Website](https://contentin.io) ## 6. Supergrow **From $19/mo · Best for Solo creators and executive teams** *AI writing and a first comment from the entry plan* Supergrow writes posts in your voice, including from recorded AI interviews, and schedules them from a calendar or a Kanban board. The automatic first comment is on the entry plan, and the Teams plan adds approvals across several executives. It says it publishes through LinkedIn's official API. We couldn't find Company Page posting or the supported post formats documented on its site. **Pros** - Automatic first comment from the $19 plan - Approval workflow for teams of executives - 7-day free trial **Cons** - Profile analytics needs the $39 Pro plan - Company Pages and post formats aren't documented [Website](https://www.supergrow.ai) ## 7. SocialBee **From $29/mo · Best for Brands on several networks** *The multi-network tool that takes LinkedIn seriously* If LinkedIn is one of several networks, SocialBee is the one that still handles it properly: carousels built from PDF, Word or PowerPoint files, video, GIFs and a first comment, on profiles and Company Pages. Teams can approve posts and leave feedback before they go live. **Pros** - Document carousels from PDF, DOC or PPT on profiles and Pages - First comment and approval workflow built in - 14-day trial with no credit card, 30-day money-back guarantee **Cons** - More than you need if LinkedIn is your only network - A first comment means switching the editor to customize each network [Website](https://socialbee.com) · [Compared with MyFeedIn](https://myfeedin.co/alternatives/socialbee) ## 8. Publer **Free, then from $5/mo · Best for Budget-minded social media managers** *A free plan and PDF carousels up to 100 slides* Publer covers LinkedIn profiles and Company Pages with multi-photo posts, native video up to 15 minutes, GIFs and PDF carousels of up to 100 slides built from photos or documents. The free plan handles three social accounts with ten posts queued each, and paid plans are priced by the number of accounts you connect. **Pros** - Free plan across three social accounts - PDF carousels built from photos, PDFs, PPT or DOC files - Approval workflows once you add team members **Cons** - The trial asks for a card or a PayPal account - Its help center contradicts itself on LinkedIn polls [Website](https://publer.com) ## 9. Hootsuite **From $99/user/mo (billed yearly) · Best for Marketing teams** *The enterprise suite, priced per user* Hootsuite publishes images, video and one PDF per post to LinkedIn profiles and Pages, with a first comment, alongside every other network and a full team workflow. Its own help center is clear about the limits: LinkedIn's API doesn't let it publish polls, native carousels, events or articles. **Pros** - First comment and approvals across a whole team - Built for teams publishing on many networks at once - 14-day trial with no credit card **Cons** - $99 per user per month, billed yearly, to start - No polls, and only one PDF per post [Website](https://www.hootsuite.com) · [Compared with MyFeedIn](https://myfeedin.co/alternatives/hootsuite) ## 10. Sprout Social **From $79/seat/mo (billed yearly) · Best for Agencies and in-house social teams** *Publishing plus reporting for large teams* Sprout Social posts to LinkedIn Company Pages and profiles with PDF documents, video with custom thumbnails and subtitles, and a first comment, inside a platform built for teams that report on social every week. Polls still have to be created directly in LinkedIn. **Pros** - 30-day free trial with no credit card, the longest here - PDF documents, video subtitles and first comments on LinkedIn - Reporting built for weekly client or leadership updates **Cons** - $79 per seat per month billed yearly on the entry plan - No polls, and approvals start on the Professional plan [Website](https://sproutsocial.com) ## Pick by what you need to post | Goal | Pick | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | I want to start for free | Buffer or Publer | Both have a free plan that publishes to LinkedIn, with a small queue. | | I post as a Company Page too | AuthoredUp or Buffer | Unlimited Pages at no extra cost, or Pages included on every Buffer plan. | | I need a first comment with my link in it | ContentIn or Supergrow | Both publish the first comment automatically from their lower plans. | | I want to know what each post did | MyFeedIn | Impressions and comments per post, plus the comments you leave elsewhere. | | I want AI to write the posts too | Taplio or ContentIn | Scheduling built into a product that drafts posts in your voice. | | I manage LinkedIn plus other networks | SocialBee | Multi-network, and still publishes document carousels and first comments. | | A whole team approves every post | Hootsuite or Sprout Social | Approval workflows, shared calendars and reporting built for teams. | ## FAQ ### What is the best LinkedIn scheduling tool?
