The pricing math
Stanley is $79 a month, priced at checkout rather than on a pricing page, for one creator across several platforms. Depost AI is $59 a month for one LinkedIn account, with ideas ranked from your own analytics, graphics designed with each post, replies drafted for you, and approvals the day a client or a team shows up.
See the full pricingWhy 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
- Stanley is light to adopt: you message it, and drafts come back in the same thread.
- It handles more than one platform, for creators who are not focused on LinkedIn.
Listed because they are true. None of them changes the answer if you want LinkedIn run end to end, with your approval as the only manual step.
Beyond the checkboxes
The differences that matter.
Built for LinkedIn, not every platform
Stanley now works across platforms from a message thread. Depost AI does one platform in depth: ideas ranked from your real LinkedIn numbers, the graphic designed with the post, publishing through LinkedIn’s official API, and replies drafted in your voice.
Learn moreYour numbers drive the plan
The Performance Analyzer reads your impressions and your full follower history from the LinkedIn account you connect, finds what beat your average, and feeds the lesson into next week’s drafts. Writing advice is better when it comes with receipts.
Learn moreRoom to grow past one person
The day you add a client or a reviewer, you need approvals, roles, and workspaces, and a bill that scales by brand instead of by seat. That structure is already here, invisible until you need it.
Learn moreWhat you'd be switching to
One subscription, the whole job.
The table compares parts. This is the whole: nine tools that feed each other, from the memory the agents read to the queue that publishes what you approve.
The agent team
Four agents plan from your analytics, write in your voice, design the graphic, and queue the post for your approval.
Learn moreBrand memory
Your brief, voice, published posts, bookmarks, chats, and knowledge base, kept per brand and read by every agent first.
Learn moreChat & editor
Brief the team in plain language, then refine in an editor built for LinkedIn.
Learn moreAnalytics
Impressions, engagement, and your complete follower history, synced from LinkedIn and feeding next week's ideas.
Learn moreInfographics
Graphics designed with the post, in a visual identity learned from what you publish.
Learn moreScheduling
A best-time queue through LinkedIn’s official API, with the first comment written alongside every post.
Learn moreTeams & approvals
Review rounds, comments, roles, and an audit trail. Nothing publishes without a yes, and reviewers are free.
Learn moreWorkspaces & brands
A workspace per client, a brand per LinkedIn account with its own agents, and a bill that scales by brand, not by seat.
Learn moreMCP
Brief your agents from Claude or ChatGPT with brand-scoped keys, included on every plan.
Learn moreDepost AI vs Stanley, asked directly.
Is Depost AI a good Stanley alternative?
If LinkedIn is where your customers are, yes. Depost AI drafts in your voice in a chat, as Stanley does, and adds what a LinkedIn workflow needs: ideas from your own analytics, generated graphics, targeted feeds, drafted replies, and team approvals.
What does Depost AI have that Stanley does not?
As of October 2026, going by what Stanley’s site shows: generated graphics, targeted feeds with lead tracking, replies and DMs drafted in your voice, a team approval workflow, MCP access from Claude or ChatGPT, multi-brand workspaces, and per-brand pricing.
How hard is it to switch?
Connect your LinkedIn account and start the trial. The Analyzer reads your published history and your voice is learned from your own posts, so there is nothing to export or import.
What happened to Stanley for LinkedIn?
It moved. The LinkedIn-only app now shows a notice that Stanley has moved, and points to a new Stanley that works across platforms through iMessage, Telegram, WhatsApp, or the web. Existing accounts can still log in. Depost AI is built for LinkedIn only, and publishes approved posts through the official LinkedIn API.
Which is better for LinkedIn growth, Stanley or Depost AI?
They are built for different people. Stanley keeps one creator posting across several platforms. Depost AI grows a LinkedIn account: analytics decide what to write next, agents draft and design it, the queue publishes it, engagement turns readers into conversations, and a client or a manager can approve first.
Does Depost AI write in my voice like Stanley does?
Yes. Your voice is learned from the posts you have already published, not from a questionnaire, and every edit you make sharpens it. The difference is what surrounds the writing: ideas ranked by your numbers, graphics, scheduling, and approvals.
Make LinkedIn your
best-performing channel.
Brief your team once. It studies, plans, writes, designs, and schedules. You approve.
Your brief comes with you: once you're set up, it's the team's first job.
