Postline.ai stands out as the best LinkedIn post generator. It writes high-quality posts with detailed, real-time information. It has some unique features such as topic discovery and personalized content creation. This makes it the best choice for LinkedIn users you need help with writing LinkedIn posts.
There are other tools that have extra features not related to writing. But when you are looking for the tool that creates the best LinkedIn posts, it's Postline.ai.
Review Postline.ai
Postline.ai generates high-quality LinkedIn posts with detailed, real-time information. It uses a database of high-performing posts and hooks to train the AI. The AI is autonomous and has access to the internet for real-time data. It is the only tool in the comparison where the AI does the topic research for you. This is saving a lot of time and increases the quality of the posts.
Best features
High-Quality posts: Postline ranks at the top for its ability to create high-quality LinkedIn posts. Comparing results with other tools shows this.
Real-time internet Access: The AI can access the internet to get recent and relevant information. That's why the posts are interesting and fresh. This contrasts with several other tools that generate posts without context.
Personalized Content Creation: Postline writes posts tailored to your specific needs and writing style. You can train the AI to write and sound like you.
Topic Discovery and Research: One of Postline's unique features is its ability to you find trending topics to write about. This is a great time-saver, especially when your struggling with writer's block.
Limitations
No LinkedIn post scheduling
You can always use the scheduling feature of LinkedIn. Still, other tools have this feature built in.
Verdict
Many users describe Postline.ai as the best post generator available and we agree. The AI is superior to other solutions. It does one thing but one thing best. We love the quality of the posts with extra context. Trending topics, and the user's personal writing style are great additions. It is the only tool that let's you search for sources online. If you could combine the best of Postline.ai with the features of Supergrow, you are unstoppable.
Review Supergrow
Supergrow is a tool to help you improve your LinkedIn presence. It offers features to write posts, get inspiration, and engage with your network. It can create posts from scratch, audio recordings, or pre-existing content. You can specify the post topic, tone, and format using templates designed for LinkedIn. But post quality is not the best on the market, and templates not always suit your topic, making them useless. A significant limitation is that it does not access the internet. This results in generic posts, unless you provide detailed context. Supergrow offers several tools for LinkedIn growth, including an idea generator. The autopilot feature automatically generates content for you every Friday. Big points for the carousel post creator that's easier to use than Canva.
Best features
Autopilot posts: Generates basic posts every Friday based on your topics.
Content inspiration: Provides a database of viral LinkedIn posts to search for.
Engage: Feed of posts from favorite LinkedIn profiles. You can interact with your connections directly within the platform.
Carousel post creator: This one is even easier to use than Canva. You can easily create LinkedIn posts with those nice image sliders.
Audio to post: Converts audio recordings into effective LinkedIn posts.
Limitations
Post quality
Generated posts are pretty generic unless you do your own research. Supergrow won't access the internet. The posts will be generic unless you provide detailed information. But, if you give it a lot of context, Supergrow will create well-structured posts.Rewriting feature is underdeveloped
Using other peoples posts to generate a new one does not work well.Missing information
When using a URL to create posts the information is scarce. Supergrow allows users to repurpose content from websites, PDFs, YouTube videos, or articles. However, it can only process one source at a time. The posts it are short and contain limited information from the source material.
Verdict
Supergrow is a comprehensive LinkedIn suite with many tools for LinkedIn growth. We like the easy carousel post creation, quick engagement, and autopilot posting. While Supergrow's post quality may not be the best on the market, its extra features are useful. If you're looking for the best posts with detailed information, Postline.ai is better. But, if you want more tools for LinkedIn growth, Supergrow is a great choice. You should bear in mind that some of its features, like rewriting viral posts, might not be for everyone. You target audience will quickly realise what your are doing.
Review Magicpost
Magicpost is an AI tool that tries to streamline the creation of LinkedIn posts. While it has some good features, we found several limitations users should consider. Magicpost generates well-structured and easy-to-read posts. It's particularly useful for users who already have a draft or a specific topic in mind. You can create and reuse templates for posts for consistency and save time. You can also transform existing text into a LinkedIn post by copying and pasting or using a URL.
Best features
Template creation: Allows users to create and reuse templates for posts.
Limitations
Lack of real-time Information
Magicpost does not access the internet, except when your give it a specific URL. The posts often lack relevance and insights unless you manually input information.Ideas and hooks are basic
Magicpost has an idea and a hook generator, but these are basic and rely on simple backend prompts. The resulting outputs are boring and not optimized for engagement.Manual Effort Required
Magicpost requires you to do a significant amount of legwork. You need to find information and draft content before generating your post. This is not ideal for users looking for a tool that can create optimized posts with minimal input.
Verdict
Magicpost can be a helpful assistant for LinkedIn content creation. But it's made for users who are willing to invest time in fine-tuning the generated posts. It is a less advanced option compared to Postline.ai or Supergrow. The limitations and simplicity might not be a problem for all users. If you want to try quick and easy LinkedIn posts, this tool is for you.
Overview
Bluecast.ai feels like it's related to Supergrow. But it's more like a little sister looking up to her big brother. It has a lot of the same features, but the there are limitations that impact the effectiveness. Bluecast.ai can generate posts from a variety of sources. This include YouTube videos, audio files, documents and other LinkedIn posts. You can also start writing your posts from scratch using the AI editor. You will also find templates and you can copy writing styles from popular creators.
Best features
Post templates: Provides a range of templates for post creation.
Posts for you: Generates posts based on topics you can choose but these posts are generally of low quality.
Limitations
Post layout
The posts are often unstructured and feel like blog posts, with long paragraphs. This is not what you want for LinkedIn.No context
The AI does not look for more information on the internet. It is relying only on pre-existing knowledge. This leads to generic posts and even 'hallucinated' content. Sometimes the AI fabricates information.You need to do research
You have to gather information from external sources, and manually input it into the tool. This is a very time consuming process. We want to focus or time on writing, not searching.
Verdict
Bluecast.ai gives you a basic set of features for a LinkedIn post generator. The limitations however, make it a less efficient option compared to competitors. Bluecast.ai might work for you if your want a simple tool with basic functionalities. But we are not convinced it's the tool of choice to grow on LinkedIn.
Review Taplio
Taplio can generates post ideas, schedule posts, and track post performance. Like Supergrow it has many different features. It also offers outreach and analytics features. It does have the most features in the test, but many seem not that useful. Taplio focusses on surfacing and rewriting other peoples LinkedIn posts. For us, and many others, this approach is questionable. Re-using other posts almost always results in less relevant content. Taplio uses scraping techniques that are violating LinkedIn's Terms of Service. As a result, some users report their LinkedIn account has been blocked for using Taplio.
Best features
Rewriting old posts: Suggests posts from other users to rewrite.
Post suggestions: Offers suggestions from other users, although these are often outdated.
Chrome extension: Tracks profile metrics. Integrates with Grammarly to help fix grammar mistakes in posts.
Outreach: Sends personalized bulk messages.
Engage: Suggests posts from other Taplio users for interaction.
CRM: Includes a CRM component, though it's more expensive than LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
Limitations
Limited AI and Basic Content
The AI capabilities of Taplio are quite limited. The text the AI generates is often basic and repetitive.Ineffective Repurposing & Outdated Content
One of the main selling points of Taplio is repurposing content. But AI is not very good at doing this. The rewritten posts are often generic and uninspired.Many of the posts Taplio suggests are old Sometimes older than two or three years. This does not work well within LinkedIn, where everyone values fresh content.
Superficial Content Generation
Taplio can generate posts from a URL or YouTube video, but the value is superficial. The AI is not able to create posts with indepth information or uniqueness.Forced Engagement
The engagement features of Taplio often feel forced and lack genuine connection. This is because many of the suggested posts are outside a user's area of expertise. Why would you comment on them?Expensive CRM
Taplio does offer a cool CRM feature, but it is more expensive than LinkedIn's own Sales Navigator. Sales Navigator is working very well and you can use that just fine.Risk of getting banned
Taplio’s Chrome extension scrapes LinkedIn pages to make some of their features work. This violates LinkedIn’s terms of service. Several users have got restricted LinkedIn accounts after using the extension.
Verdict
Taplio has a high subscription cost and using it carries the risk of penalties from LinkedIn. The AI features are not the best. Many users mention they don't use their AI features. This make it a less than ideal solution for LinkedIn content creation and growth. We did not like the posts Taplio generates. They are not unqiue and often outdated.
Review Postwise
Postwise is another tool to generate, schedule, and edit LinkedIn posts. It generates posts based on different topics you enter. You can only enter topics, not detailed prompts. That makes it impossible to write well informed and effective LinkedIn posts.
Best features
Auto reply to your post: You can set an automatic comment to your LinkedIn post after your post got a certain number of likes.
Limitations
Generic and Uninspired Content
A key issue with Postwise is that the posts it generates tend to be very generic and lack depth or real value. You will get content that is not particularly useful and requires significant editing.Limited AI Capabilities
The AI that powers Postwise is very basic in several ways. It doesn't access online sources and you can not give it much information. This makes the generated posts feel outdated and irrelevant. It works with broad and generic topics. That makes the resulting text less engaging and insightful.Limited Editor
Postwise does include a post editor, but it is very basic. It lacks essential formatting options such as bold text or other styling features.
Verdict
Postwise does not offer much value for users. You can't create high-quality, engaging content for LinkedIn. The AI features are basic and it generates dull and boring commentary. LinkedIn has some basic AI for writing posts that can provide similar results. Until Postwise can improve it is not a good tool for users who are serious about growing on LinkedIn.
Review Anyword
Anyword is a unique AI-powered tool that helps your writing any type of content. You can craft social media posts, emails, blogs, and ad copy. It works with a template builder.You can create templates from scratch or use existing ones. Anyword is not specifically designed to write LinkedIn posts, but it has a template for it.
Best features
Template builder: Allows users to create templates from scratch.
LinkedIn Insights: It predicts post performance, although the feature has some flaws. Provides insights into demographics (age and gender) likely to engage with the content.
Limitations
Lack of Internet Access
One of the biggest drawbacks of Anyword is that its AI does not have access to the internet. It is unable to use up-to-date information and tends to generate uninformed posts.Generic Content
The LinkedIn posts generated by Anyword are often generic and lack depth. Even tho Anyword gives you three versions for each LinkedIn post, none of them are very strong.Unreliable Insights
The "LinkedIn Insights" predicting the performance of your post do not make much sense. It gives your post a high performance score even if the content is poorly written or irrelevant.Limited LinkedIn Features
Anyword is not designed for writing LinkedIn posts. The editor is a basic text editor not one built for LinkedIn.No Scheduling Features
Anyword can not schedule your posts or creating ideas for your content.
Verdict
Anyword is not the best option for generating LinkedIn content. The lack of internet access results in generic and uninformed content. To be fair, Anyword can do a lot and does not focus on LinkedIn posts. There are no features for post scheduling or generating fresh ideas. Also the 'LinkedIn Insights' feature is unreliable.
Review AuthoredUp
AuthoredUp is a LinkedIn post editor. It is not an AI tool that generates posts, but it provides you with the best Linkedin editor. AuthoredUp allows you to create, style, and save drafts of posts. You can even preview them and see how they will appear on both mobile and desktop. You can attach media files and publish your posts to LinkedIn. It's for you when you want to write your own posts and love doing it.
Best features
LinkedIn-Specific Editor: AuthoredUp is the best LinkedIn-specific text editor. The editor very smart and made for LinkedIn. You can create, style, and save drafts of their posts.
Preview Feature: AuthoredUp can preview your post so you can see what it will look like on LinkedIn’s mobile and desktop app.
Predefined Templates: The editor includes predefined templates for hooks and endings that you can customise. It's a neat feature to save time when writing your posts.
Streamlined Approach: AuthoredUp gives a more organised approach than writing your posts directly on LinkedIn.
Limitations
No AI Functionality
AuthoredUp is not an AI tool. It is designed for users who prefer to write and format their posts manually.Chrome Plugin
AuthoredUp, like Taplio, uses a Chrome plugin to extract information from LinkedIn. This can violate LinkedIn's terms of service, and result in your account being blocked. However, you can still make full use of AuthoredUp's editor without using the plugin.
Verdict
AuthoredUp is a great and effective text editor for LinkedIn. It's for those who are looking for a way to preview, format, and structure their LinkedIn posts. You need to write yourself tho. There is no AI to help you with your posts.
Review Copy.ai
Copy.ai's primary focus lies on building workflows for a variety of tasks. You can also build workflows to generate LinkedIn posts. It allows you to automate steps by setting triggers and actions. Remember Zapier? It's like that but with AI prompting. Copy.ai is not specifically made for LinkedIn content creation. Thus the features for writing LinkedIn posts are basic.
Best features
Workflows: Automates the process of generating posts.
Triggers: Allows users to set triggers for automation.
Workflow library: Includes workflows for LinkedIn, such as generating cold email sequences from LinkedIn profiles.
Limitations
Post Quality
Ok, Copy.ai can generate LinkedIn posts, but the quality of the posts is somewhat lacking.You need to prompt
You need to be skilled at prompting to get effective results from Copy.ai. This is a limitation when it comes to our specific use case.
Verdict
Copy.ai is better suited for task and workflow automation. For that it is an extremely powerful tool. Although Copy.ai can generate LinkedIn posts, it's their primary function. The automation functions are powerfull, creating LinkedIn posts, not so much. We should find a way to use Postline.ai with the workflow capabilities of Copy.ai. That will be a game-changer.
Review RedactAI
RedactAI is the last one on the list. It's a basic solution to write LinkedIn posts. It offers features like idea generation, post creation, and recycling existing posts. None of them are very unique or powerful compared to the competitors.
Best features
Writing styles: Offers predefined styles or styles based on the user's profile.
Recycling posts: Allows users to rewrite other users' LinkedIn posts.
Limitations
Generic Content
One of the main limitations of RedactAI is that the posts it generates are not interesting. They look like short blog entries rather than concise LinkedIn posts. The content reads similar to what you would get from a basic ChatGPT prompt.No online context
RedactAI does not get context from the internet as well, meaning that the posts lack depth and relevance.Inaccurate writing style
When you tell the AI to write like you, it does not work well.Slow Processing Time
When generating posts from URLs, RedactAI can take more than a minute to process the information. This is pretty long, considering the simplicity of the generated content.Post Recycling
RedactAI allows users to recycle posts from other users' LinkedIn profiles. Rewriting them essentially rehashing someone else's content. It feels more like copying rather than creating original material.
Verdict
The basic functionality to write posts is not competitive. It sounds generic, the unique voice is often inaccurate, and the process is slow. RedactAI is not a good choice yet.
Postline.ai stands out because it combines high-quality content with real-time data access. The writing style and effective post structure work well. Everything works with just a few clicks. It meets all the key requirements for generating engaging LinkedIn content. It is the top choice for LinkedIn users that don't need unnecessary extra tools.
