AuthoredUp Review: What It Does, Pricing, and Who Fits
AuthoredUp is a LinkedIn content tool for formatting, previewing, and analyzing posts. Here is what it does, its 2026 pricing, and the kind of user it suits.
By Deepak Yadav, Founder, Ampliflow
The short version
- AuthoredUp is a LinkedIn content creation tool. It helps you draft, format, preview, schedule, and analyze your own posts, and it runs as a browser extension layered over LinkedIn.
- Its pricing page lists an Individual plan at $19.95 per month, or $16.63 per month billed annually, and a Business plan at $14.95 per profile per month with a three-profile minimum (verified August 2026).
- A genuine strength worth naming is that AuthoredUp does not automate actions on your behalf, so it sidesteps the automation-risk question that outreach and engagement tools have to answer.
- It is a posting tool, not a commenting tool. If your growth comes from showing up in other people's comment sections rather than publishing, AuthoredUp solves a different problem than the one you have.
- We build Commenti, a LinkedIn commenting tool, so read this with that bias in mind. The two tools barely overlap, which is exactly why comparing them fairly is easy.
The honest strength worth naming
Here is a real point in AuthoredUp's favor, and it is the fair thing to lead with. AuthoredUp does not automate actions on your behalf. It does not send connection requests, it does not auto-comment, it does not run outreach sequences. It formats, previews, and reports.
That design choice sidesteps the whole conversation that automation tools, including ours, have to have honestly. LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits third-party automation of activity on the platform. A tool that only helps you write and measure your own posts is on much simpler ground than a tool that acts for you. Credit where it is due.
The usual caveat for any browser extension still applies: it needs access to your LinkedIn session to work, so review the permissions at install like you would with anything that layers onto an account you care about.
Where a commenting tool fits differently
Now the part where the two tools stop overlapping. AuthoredUp is built around the assumption that you grow by posting. Plenty of people do. But plenty of others grow mostly by commenting on LinkedIn without posting much at all, borrowing distribution from bigger accounts by showing up thoughtfully in their comment sections.
That is the strategy Commenti is built for, and it is a different job entirely. A LinkedIn commenting strategy lives in other people's threads, not in your own drafts. So where AuthoredUp gives you a better composer and a calendar, Commenti gives you tone-matched comments on posts from creators and keywords you choose, with daily caps, human-like pacing, skip filters, and an approve mode.
And here is where our honesty stance kicks in, because our tool does automate. Commenti operates against LinkedIn's prohibition on third-party automation, and we say so plainly. It is built to reduce the risk that comes with that, through caps, pacing, and keeping a human in the loop, but reduce is the only honest verb. No tool removes the risk, and we would not trust one that claimed to. We lay out the full picture in is LinkedIn automation safe.
Commenti's plans are $19, $29, and $49 per month billed yearly for 20, 40, and 60 AI comments a day, and the tiers are built around 20 to 60 new followers a day, though results vary by niche and account history. The first 200 users get a 60-day free trial.
Who each tool is for
Pick AuthoredUp if you are a poster. If your plan is to publish consistently, and you want better formatting, previews, a calendar, and analytics without touching automation, it is a solid, well-scoped choice at a fair price.
Pick a commenting tool if your growth comes from conversations in other people's threads rather than your own feed. If you are still mapping the category, our rundown of the best LinkedIn comment automation tools covers where each option fits, and if you want to hand-write sharper posts to pair with any of this, Claude prompts for LinkedIn posts is a good companion.
Most people do not actually need to choose between AuthoredUp and Commenti. They need to figure out whether their growth is post-led or comment-led first, and then pick the tool that matches. Answer that, and the decision makes itself.
Frequently asked questions
What is AuthoredUp used for?
AuthoredUp is used to write and improve LinkedIn posts. It gives you a rich text editor for formatting, a preview of how a post will look on desktop and mobile, a library of hooks and call-to-action templates, unlimited drafts, a content calendar for scheduling, and analytics on how your posts performed. It is aimed at people who post regularly.
How much does AuthoredUp cost in 2026?
AuthoredUp's pricing page lists an Individual plan at $19.95 per month, or $16.63 per month when billed annually at $199.50 per year, for one profile. The Business plan is $14.95 per profile per month, or $12.46 billed annually, with a three-profile minimum. A Custom Growth plan covers ten or more profiles (verified August 2026).
Is AuthoredUp safe to use?
AuthoredUp is a formatting and analytics layer that does not perform automated actions like sending connection requests or auto-commenting on your behalf, which is the main behavior LinkedIn's rules target. That design choice means it does not raise the same automation questions that engagement or outreach tools do. As always, check any browser extension's permissions before installing.
Is AuthoredUp a Commenti alternative?
Not really, and we would rather be straight about that. AuthoredUp helps you write and analyze your own posts. Commenti automates commenting on other people's posts. They target different growth strategies, so most people choose based on whether their plan is post-led or comment-led, not on picking one over the other.

If your LinkedIn growth depends on publishing posts, AuthoredUp is one of the better-known tools built for that job. It is a content creation layer that helps you format, preview, schedule, and analyze your posts from inside LinkedIn.
We build Commenti, a LinkedIn commenting tool, so treat this write-up accordingly. The useful thing is that AuthoredUp and Commenti solve genuinely different problems, which makes a fair comparison straightforward: there is very little overlap to spin.
What AuthoredUp actually does
AuthoredUp installs as a browser extension and adds a set of tools on top of the normal LinkedIn posting experience. The core pieces are the ones a regular poster reaches for constantly.
Put together, it is a writing-and-measuring tool for people who post often and want the process to feel less manual. If that is your growth engine, the value is easy to see.
