Commenti vs MagicPost: MagicPost Alternative or Companion?
A MagicPost alternative or a companion? MagicPost creates and schedules LinkedIn posts; Commenti automates commenting. An honest look at scope, price, and risk.
By Deepak Yadav, Founder, Ampliflow
The short version
- MagicPost is a full LinkedIn content platform: AI post generation, scheduling, analytics, visuals, and a curated feed for manual engagement, all through LinkedIn's official OAuth API.
- Commenti automates one thing: writing and posting comments on other people's posts within daily caps. It does not write posts, schedule, or analyze.
- MagicPost's own material says it does not automate commenting beyond first-comment scheduling, so its engagement stays manual. Commenti is the automation layer, not a like-for-like replacement.
- MagicPost's page lists an Analytics plan at $21 and a Creator plan at $39 per month on annual billing, with a custom Team or Agency plan and a no-card free trial (verified July 2026). Commenti is $19 to $49 per month billed yearly for 20 to 60 comments a day.
- LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits third-party automation, Commenti included, so the honest question is how much a tool's design reduces risk, never whether it removes it.
What Commenti does, and what it refuses to do
Commenti automates one activity and pours everything into it:
- Tone matching, so comments read like you rather than a template wearing your name.
- Targeting by creators and keywords, so you land in the threads your niche actually reads.
- Skip filters that pass on posts you should not touch: layoffs, sensitive news, promotions outside your lane.
- Approve-or-autopost, so you review everything at first and loosen up once the output earns it.
- Daily caps and randomized pacing, because a burst of instant comments is the loudest automation signal there is.
The caps look like a weakness on a feature grid, so here is the reasoning. We sell 20, 40, or 60 comments a day and we do not sell an unlimited plan, because volume is the single biggest driver of enforcement risk. Holding the ceiling low is the product working, not the product being stingy.
What Commenti does not do is just as load-bearing: no connection requests, no DMs, no outreach sequences. That is a separate category with a higher risk profile, and neither we nor MagicPost live in it. If you want the approach itself explained first, we cover it in ai comments for linkedin.
Side by side
| MagicPost | Commenti | |
|---|---|---|
| Core job | LinkedIn content: writing, scheduling, analytics | Comment automation only |
| Post writing, ideas, carousels | Yes | No |
| Scheduling and calendar | Yes | No |
| Analytics | Yes, impressions and follower growth | No |
| Commenting | First-comment scheduling, plus a curated feed for manual engagement | The whole product: tone matching, targeting, skip filters, approve-or-autopost |
| Runs without you at the keyboard | No, engagement is manual by design | Yes, within daily caps and pacing |
| Account access | Official LinkedIn OAuth API, no extension | Automates commenting, which LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits |
| Connection requests and DMs | Out of scope | Out of scope |
| Pricing | Analytics $21, Creator $39 per month on annual billing; Team or Agency custom | $19, $29, or $49 per month billed yearly |
| Free trial | Yes, no card | 60 days for the first 200 users |
MagicPost's pricing page lists an Analytics plan at $21 per month and a Creator plan at $39 per month on annual billing, with monthly billing higher, a Team or Agency plan priced on request, and a free trial that needs no card (verified July 2026; see magicpost.in/pricing for current tiers). Commenti's Starter, Pro, and Studio tiers are $19, $29, and $49 per month billed yearly for 20, 40, and 60 AI comments a day. Follower results vary a lot by niche, profile quality, and account history, so treat any range as a hope, not a promise.
The risk trade neither pricing page spells out
LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits third-party automation. That covers Commenti, and it covers any tool that acts on your account programmatically. It is the sentence a competitor comparison usually leaves out, so we put it on our own page.
Here is the honest shape of it. MagicPost keeps most of its surface small on purpose: it publishes through the official API and keeps engagement manual, so the genuinely automated slice of what it does is narrow. Commenti automates commenting outright, which is more leverage and more surface area at the same time. Our job is to reduce that surface, not to wave it away: modest daily ceilings, randomized intervals instead of robotic ones, skip filters that keep you out of threads where a generic reply would embarrass you, and an approve mode for anyone who wants a checkpoint. Reduce is the strongest verb we will use, and it is the strongest verb anyone selling in this category has earned. We walk through the full picture in is LinkedIn automation safe.
If you are weighing several commenting tools rather than just these two, our roundup of the best LinkedIn comment automation tools maps where each one fits.
So, replace or combine?
Keep MagicPost if publishing is your engine. The writing, scheduling, and analytics have no equivalent in Commenti, and swapping a content platform for a commenting one because both say "LinkedIn" is how people end up paying for two things they half-use.
Choose Commenti if the only part of MagicPost you opened was the engagement feed, and if what you needed there was consistency you could not supply by hand. It automates the exact clicking that MagicPost, by design, leaves to you.
Run both if you post regularly and also want a commenting layer that keeps going while you are in meetings. If you are still comparing suites against focused tools, Commenti vs Taplio works through a very similar question, and Commenti vs Supergrow covers another content platform that bolts on its own engagement feature.
Our own limits, plainly: Commenti will not write your posts, has no analytics dashboard, and is a poor idea on an account that is brand new or already carrying a warning. If the focused route fits, Commenti starts at $19 per month billed yearly, and the first 200 users get a 60-day free trial.
Frequently asked questions
Is Commenti a MagicPost alternative or an addition?
For most people it is an addition. MagicPost's core is content: writing, scheduling, and analytics, which Commenti does not do. The one place they meet is engagement, and even there MagicPost keeps you clicking while Commenti automates it. Replace MagicPost only if the engagement feed was the single part you used.
Does MagicPost automate LinkedIn comments?
Not in the unattended sense. MagicPost schedules the first comment under your own posts and gives you a curated feed to engage from, but its own material says it does not automate commenting beyond that. You review and post engagement yourself. Commenti is the tool that writes and posts comments for you within caps.
What does MagicPost cost compared to Commenti?
MagicPost's pricing page listed an Analytics plan at $21 per month and a Creator plan at $39 per month on annual billing, with monthly billing higher, a custom Team or Agency plan, and a free trial that needs no card, as of July 2026. Commenti is $19, $29, or $49 per month billed yearly. Check magicpost.in for current tiers.
Can I run MagicPost and Commenti together?
Yes, and many people reasonably would. MagicPost handles posts and manual engagement, Commenti handles automated commenting. The one caution is that stacking tools raises your account's total automated activity, which is the thing that increases enforcement risk. Keep combined daily actions modest rather than maxing out both.

Looking for a MagicPost alternative? First check what you are replacing. MagicPost is a full LinkedIn content platform: it writes, schedules, and analyzes your posts, and gives you a curated feed for manual engagement. Commenti automates the commenting itself. For most people that makes them companions, not rivals.
We build Commenti, so read this with that bias in mind. We are also not going to stage a fight between two tools that mostly do different jobs.
What MagicPost does well
MagicPost is built for the person whose LinkedIn starts with publishing, and it is built exclusively for LinkedIn, which shows. The AI post generator is tuned for LinkedIn writing rather than general prose. A style import feature learns from your existing posts, or from a creator you paste in, so drafts read closer to a real voice than a raw model dump. Around that sits idea generation, a large inspiration library, visuals and carousels, a scheduler, and analytics that track impressions and follower growth.
Two things deserve specific credit. First, MagicPost connects through LinkedIn's official OAuth API and runs with no browser extension. It frames this as the safer path next to tools that drive your account through an extension, and for publishing and reading analytics that is a fair claim: staying inside the official API is a real engineering choice, not a slogan.
Second, its engagement feature is honest about its own edge. MagicPost gives you a curated feed to engage from and a leads detector to surface worthwhile threads, but its own material says it does not automate commenting beyond first-comment scheduling. You still click. We wish more tools in this space were that plain about what they leave to the human.
MagicPost also cites a large user base and a roster of companies, and markets itself as a LinkedIn partner. We do not publish a user count for Commenti, so we are not going to trade numbers with it.
Where the two actually overlap
Because MagicPost touches comments at all, precision matters here, since this is where the word "alternative" gets slippery.
MagicPost's commenting is two narrow things. One is first-comment scheduling: the comment that auto-posts under your own post the second it goes live, which the algorithm reads as an early engagement signal. The other is that curated feed for manual engagement, where you choose people and threads and comment yourself. Both keep a human at the keyboard by design.
Commenti does a different job. It writes and posts comments on other people's posts for you, within limits you set, and that is the entire product. So if the tab you cared about in MagicPost was the engagement feed, and what you actually wanted was volume you could not sit and produce by hand, Commenti is less a MagicPost alternative and more the automation layer underneath that feed. If you want the posts, the scheduler, and the analytics, Commenti replaces none of it.
We made the longer case for the comment-first strategy in how to grow on LinkedIn without posting, and the mechanics of a comment worth posting in linkedin commenting strategy.
