Every list like this one ranks the tool that wrote it in first place. Ours is on this list too, and we're not putting it first, because that's not actually where it fits for most people searching this term.
Here's the honest version, sorted by what each tool is actually solving, not by whoever paid for the placement.
The seven, at a glance
Supergrow — Cheapest full drafts — around $19/mo
Taplio — All-in-one, plus leads — around $39 to $65/mo
AuthoredUp — Formatting, not generation — around $20/mo
ScoutHook — Depth and your own voice — $29/mo
ContentIn — Team workflows — around $24 to $199/mo
Typefully — LinkedIn + X together — around $12/mo
ViralBrain — Free tier with real features — free / paid tiers
Pricing in this category shifts constantly, and every tool discounts annual plans. Treat this as a starting point, check the live pricing pages before deciding.
Supergrow
The cheapest tool that still writes full drafts from a topic. Covers writing, scheduling, and basic analytics, with a voice-matching feature that adapts to how you write over time.
Fine if your main problem was the invoice and you're willing to edit what comes back. The drafts still read like a generic starting point until you rework them.
Taplio
The comprehensive option. Draft generation, a large viral-post library, scheduling, analytics, and a lead database on the higher tiers. Built for people who want a lot of the workflow handled in one dashboard.
The entry plan is worth checking closely, the features most people actually want tend to sit on a higher tier than the advertised starting price.
AuthoredUp
Not a generator in the usual sense, it doesn't write anything for you. It's a formatting and analytics layer that sits on top of what you've already written, hooks templates, readability scoring, drafts management.
The right pick if your bottleneck is presentation, not the blank page. Doesn't help if you don't know what to say yet.
ScoutHook
Ours, so read it with a healthy dose of skepticism. It starts from a different assumption than most of this list, that the reason a draft reads generic is usually that it started from a generic prompt, not a real one.
Instead of taking a broad topic and filling in the gaps, it asks a few questions about what actually happened, what you noticed, what you'd argue with someone about, and builds the draft from that. Idea Vault holds onto the answers, Hook Engine shapes the opening, Voice Fingerprint keeps the wording sounding like you rather than a template.
Where it's the wrong fit: if you want a high volume of posts with minimal involvement from you, this will feel slower than the alternatives, on purpose. There's no lead database either.
ContentIn
Built around team workflows, useful if more than one person is producing content and needs shared drafts, approvals, and a consistent process across accounts.
Overkill for a solo creator. A strong pick if you're coordinating content across a small team.
Typefully
Started as an X tool, added LinkedIn later. Clean writing interface, one editor if you post to both platforms.
LinkedIn is clearly the secondary platform here. Document carousels and LinkedIn-specific formatting aren't its strength.
ViralBrain
The strongest free tier on this list, includes real generation features rather than a stripped-down teaser. Useful for testing whether a generator-based workflow suits you before paying for anything.
Like most tools on this list, output quality depends heavily on how specific your input is.
The thing every tool on this list has in common
Whatever you pick, the draft is shaped by what you feed it. A broad topic produces a broad, forgettable draft, in every one of these tools, without exception. A specific memory, number, or opinion produces something with actual weight behind it, again in every one of these tools. The generator matters less than what goes into it, and that's true whether you spend $12 a month or $65.
How to actually pick
Three questions. What's actually broken, the blank page or the formatting? Do you want full volume with minimal involvement, or fewer posts that sound distinctly like you? And will you still be opening this tool in month six, since most of these get abandoned within a few weeks of signing up.
Trial two, not seven. Write three real posts in each, not test prompts. The one you keep reaching for without thinking about it is the right answer, more reliably than any list, this one included.
If the draft never sounds like you.ScoutHook asks the questions that get to what you actually know, then keeps the writing in your own words, so the draft has something real behind it from the start. Try ScoutHook → https://www.scouthook.com
Frequently asked questions
What's the best LinkedIn post generator? Depends on the bottleneck. Cheapest full drafts, Supergrow. All-in-one with leads, Taplio. Formatting only, AuthoredUp. Depth and your own voice, ScoutHook.
Do these tools produce content that sounds like me?Only with specific input. A broad topic gets a broad draft in any of them. A real memory or opinion gets something with actual weight, regardless of which tool.
Are free generators worth using?For testing a workflow, yes. Free tiers are usually capped on volume, not quality, so they're a fair way to judge fit before paying.
