One helps you write. The other helps you read. Both make LinkedIn better.
MyFeedIn and AuthoredUp are both Chrome extensions for LinkedIn. They're both popular, both well-reviewed, and both safe for your account. But they do completely different things.
If you're trying to decide between them, the answer probably isn't "one or the other." It's about which problem you need to solve first.
What AuthoredUp does
AuthoredUp is a LinkedIn post editor and analytics tool. It's designed for people who post regularly on LinkedIn and want to create better content, faster.
Core features:
Rich text editor with formatting options (bold, italic, bullet points, numbered lists, emojis) that go beyond LinkedIn's basic editor.
200+ hook and ending templates to help you start and close your posts effectively. Available in English, German, and Dutch.
Readability score and word count so you can optimize your posts for clarity before publishing.
Cross-device preview showing how your post will look on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Post scheduling with a calendar view, best-time-to-post insights, and the ability to plan up to 3 months ahead.
Analytics with full post history, performance tracking, and data export.
Draft sharing for teams and agencies, so collaborators can review and edit posts before they go live.
Pricing:
$19.95/month for individuals. $14.95/month per user for teams (minimum 3 profiles). Annual billing saves about 17%. 14-day free trial available.
Important to know: AuthoredUp does not include AI content generation. You still write every post yourself. It gives you better tools to write with, but it doesn't write for you. Also, AuthoredUp is fully GDPR compliant with all data hosted in Germany.
What MyFeedIn does
MyFeedIn is a Chrome extension that replaces LinkedIn's algorithmic feed with custom feeds you control. It's designed for people who waste time scrolling and want to focus their engagement.
Core features:
Custom feeds where you select exactly which people's posts appear. No algorithm deciding for you.
Focus mode that removes LinkedIn distractions (ads, suggested posts, notifications) so you can engage intentionally.
Engagement analytics to track your commenting and interaction patterns.
Works inside LinkedIn with no separate app or dashboard to learn.
Pricing:
First custom feed is free. Paid plans for more feeds. Lifetime deal available.
Important to know: Like AuthoredUp, MyFeedIn doesn't automate anything. No auto-liking, no auto-commenting, no data scraping. Both tools are safe for your LinkedIn account.

When to choose AuthoredUp
AuthoredUp is the right choice if:
You post on LinkedIn regularly (or want to). If you're publishing 2+ times per week, AuthoredUp's editor, templates, and scheduling save real time. The formatting tools alone make your posts look more professional.
You want to track your content performance. AuthoredUp's analytics show you which posts performed best, what format works, and how your audience is growing. This data helps you improve over time.
You work with a team or clients. The draft sharing feature is great for agencies, ghostwriters, or anyone who needs approval before publishing.
You need scheduling. If you batch-create content and want to schedule posts in advance, AuthoredUp handles this well with a visual calendar and best-time recommendations.
When to choose MyFeedIn
MyFeedIn is the right choice if:
Your feed is the biggest time waster. If you open LinkedIn intending to engage for 10 minutes but end up scrolling for 45, MyFeedIn fixes this by showing you only the posts that matter.
Strategic engagement is your priority. Building a commenting routine with specific people (prospects, industry leaders, peers) is easier when you have a dedicated feed for them.
You already know how to write posts. If content creation isn't your bottleneck but finding the right content to engage with is, MyFeedIn solves that specific problem.
You want to start free. MyFeedIn's first custom feed is free with no time limit. You can test the value before paying anything.
Can you use both?
Absolutely. In fact, they pair well together:
Use AuthoredUp to write, format, and schedule your LinkedIn posts.
Use MyFeedIn to build custom feeds and engage strategically with the people who matter to your goals.
AuthoredUp improves your content output. MyFeedIn improves your content input and engagement. Together, they create a complete LinkedIn workflow without any automation risk.
The bottom line
Choose AuthoredUp if your main challenge is creating and scheduling LinkedIn content. It's the best editor on the market for LinkedIn-specific formatting, and the analytics help you improve over time.
Choose MyFeedIn if your main challenge is wasting time on LinkedIn's noisy feed. Custom feeds let you engage with the right people in 10 minutes instead of scrolling for an hour.
Choose both if you want to level up both your content creation and your engagement strategy. At a combined cost under $30/month, it's an affordable LinkedIn toolkit.
Both tools are safe, both are Chrome extensions, and both respect your LinkedIn account. The question is just which problem is costing you more time right now.
