Best for

LinkedIn-focused creators and teams who want a post editor, calendar and analytics inside the LinkedIn interface.

Skip it if

You need any network besides LinkedIn, or hands-off scheduling without a browser; scheduling runs through a Chrome extension.

Overview

AuthoredUp is a LinkedIn tool, not a general scheduler. It gives creators and teams a post editor, calendar and analytics inside the LinkedIn interface. Scheduling runs through a Chrome extension, which matters if you expect hands-off posting without a browser. The vendor offers an Analytics API on every plan using a personal key, but no publishing API.

Individual is $19.95 per month ($16.63 per month when billed yearly at $199.50) for 1 LinkedIn profile. Business is priced per profile, $14.95 per month ($12.46 annually), with a minimum of 3 profiles. Custom Growth is for 10 or more profiles, annual, via a contact form. A free trial needs no credit card, though its length is not stated. The page shows dollars without a currency code, so I read them as USD.

The pricing logic is per profile, so a team of three pays less per head than an individual does: three Business profiles at the monthly rate come to $44.85. The vendor's Coauthor AI assistant is described as in closed beta, with credits in every plan. Anyone who needs another network, or scheduling that works while the browser is closed, should treat that as a hard limit.

What it does well

What to watch out for

Plans and prices

Plan	Billed monthly	Billed annually, per month	Unit	What you get
Individual	$19.95	$16.63	per month ($199.5 billed yearly)	1 LinkedIn profile
Business	$14.95	$12.46	per profile per month ($149.5 billed yearly)	Minimum 3 profiles
Custom Growth Plan	Not published	Not published	custom	Minimum 10 profiles; annual; contact form

It is a per-profile ladder. Individual is $19.95 per month for 1 profile. Business is $14.95 per profile per month with a minimum of 3, so the cheapest team entry is $44.85. Billing yearly brings those to $16.63 and $12.46. Above 10 profiles you move to Custom Growth, annual, through a form. The bill grows with every LinkedIn profile you add, and nothing else is metered in my notes.

How we checked

Condensed WebFetch read of the pricing page; '$' with no currency code, treated as USD. The vendor says an Analytics API is on every plan (using a personal key) but no publishing API, so hasApi is false for scheduling. Coauthor AI assistant is in closed beta with credits in every plan.
