# The AuthoredUp alternative that writes and designs the posts too Canonical page: https://depost.ai/alternatives/authoredup AuthoredUp is a precision hand-tool for writers who draft everything themselves. Depost AI is a team that writes, designs, schedules, and tracks, and still publishes nothing without your approval. AuthoredUp is built for hands-on writers. ## Depost AI vs AuthoredUp, row by row | | Depost AI | AuthoredUp | | --- | --- | --- | | Talk-to-it chat creation | Yes · the home screen | No | | Agents run the loop end-to-end | Four agents + scheduling | No AI writing | | Real impressions + follower history | Yes | Full post history | | Designs graphics for the post | Yes | No | | Targeted feeds with lead tracking | Stages, notes, reminders | No | | Replies and DMs drafted in your voice | Yes · you send them | No | | Team approval workflow | Rounds + comments + roles | Draft collaboration | | MCP · drive it from Claude or ChatGPT | Yes · brand-scoped keys | No | | Multi-brand workspaces | Yes | Multi-profile · Business | | Nothing goes out without your approval | Approved by you, always | No automation | | Starts at · monthly billing | $59/mo · Team $99, free invites | $19.95/mo | | Pricing scales by | Brand · invites free | Profile | | Built for | Founders, B2B teams & agencies | Hands-on writers | Every AuthoredUp cell reflects their live site as of August 13, 2026, prices as of September 8, 2026. Corrections: support@depost.ai. ## The pricing math AuthoredUp is $19.95 a month and deliberately does not write for you: it is a precise editor and analytics for hands-on writers, and good at it. Depost AI is $59 because it is staffed differently: four agents plan, write, and design from your data, so the price covers the work, not just the workspace. ## Why B2B teams switch to Depost AI - Every founder, exec, and expert posts in a voice learned from their own published posts, with ideas ranked by what beat their own average. Fifty advocates read as fifty people. - Comms reviews in one queue: rounds, threaded comments, roles per brand, and a logged yes. Nothing publishes around the process. - Priced per LinkedIn account, never per seat: $99 for the first, a flat $59 after, and reviewers, legal, and clients join free. - LinkedIn’s official API on every account. No passwords, no session cookies, and nothing that connects, comments, or messages on its own. - Four agents run the loop, analytics into ideas into drafts into designed graphics into a scheduled queue, and MCP lets the team work from Claude or ChatGPT. ## In fairness to AuthoredUp - AuthoredUp has the deepest formatting editor, previews, and hook library in the category. - If AI anywhere in the workflow is a dealbreaker on principle, it is the honest pick. Pick AuthoredUp if you write every word yourself and want the best formatting editor, device previews, and post-history analytics in the category, with no AI anywhere in the workflow. ## The differences that matter - **Keep writing by hand, when you want to.** AuthoredUp’s bet is that you write every word, and its editor honors that. Depost AI keeps the hand-written path, a full editor and your own drafts, and adds a team for the weeks you cannot: agents that plan, draft, and design, waiting for your edit.

Depost AI reads the same history and acts on it: the Performance Analyzer finds what beat your average and why, and next week’s ideas arrive ranked by those lessons instead of by hunch. ([more](https://depost.ai/features/analytics)) - **From one profile to a roster.** AuthoredUp bills per profile and collaborates on drafts. Depost AI is built for the roster: a workspace per brand or client with its own agents and calendar, review rounds with roles, and clients and VAs invited free on a per-account bill.

Depost AI covers the editor and analytics ground, then adds what AuthoredUp deliberately leaves out: drafts in your voice, ranked ideas, generated graphics, engagement, and approvals. ### I write my own posts. Is Depost AI still useful? Very. Write in the editor as you do now, and let the rest of the loop work around your writing: analytics rank what to write next, the designer supplies the graphic, the queue publishes at the right time, and engagement drafts stay in your voice. ### AuthoredUp has no AI by design. Where does Depost AI stand on that? The concern behind that stance is sameness, and it is fair. Depost AI’s answer is different: no templates, a voice learned from your published posts, and every draft waiting for your edit and approval. You stay the author; the agents do the labor. ### Does Depost AI sync my old posts and metrics like AuthoredUp? Yes. Connect LinkedIn and your published history syncs with impressions, engagement, and your complete follower history. The difference is what happens next: the numbers become ranked ideas rather than a rear-view report. ### How does pricing compare with AuthoredUp? AuthoredUp starts at $19.95 a month per profile, with business tiers priced per profile. Depost AI costs more because it does more of the job: $59 a month solo, $99 with the team layer, then a flat $59 for each additional LinkedIn account, with clients and VAs invited free. ### Can my team review posts before they publish? Yes. Approvals ship with review rounds, comments, and roles, and nothing publishes without a yes. AuthoredUp shares drafts for co-editing; Depost AI adds the formal gate that agencies and advocacy programs need. ## Other comparisons - [Depost AI vs Stanley](https://depost.ai/alternatives/stanley) - [Depost AI vs Kleo](https://depost.ai/alternatives/kleo) - [Depost AI vs Scripe](https://depost.ai/alternatives/scripe) - [Depost AI vs Taplio](https://depost.ai/alternatives/taplio) - [Depost AI vs Supergrow](https://depost.ai/alternatives/supergrow) - [Depost AI vs Saywhat](https://depost.ai/alternatives/saywhat) - [Depost AI vs MagicPost](https://depost.ai/alternatives/magicpost) - [Depost AI vs Postwise](https://depost.ai/alternatives/postwise) - [Depost AI vs ContentIn](https://depost.ai/alternatives/contentin) - [Depost AI vs Resonate](https://depost.ai/alternatives/resonate) - [Depost AI vs Heyoo](https://depost.ai/alternatives/heyoo) - [Depost AI vs Oktopost](https://depost.ai/alternatives/oktopost) - [Depost AI vs Oiti](https://depost.ai/alternatives/oiti) --- Cite as Depost AI (https://depost.ai/alternatives/authoredup).
