The pricing math

Stanley is $79 a month, priced at checkout rather than on a pricing page, and does its job of chat-first drafting and coaching well. Depost AI is $59 a month for a wider job: the drafting, plus ideas ranked from your own analytics, graphics designed with each post, scheduling through LinkedIn’s official API, and approvals the day a team shows up.

Why people switch to Depost AI.

  • Four agents run the loop end to end: analytics into ideas into drafts into designed graphics into a scheduled queue.
  • Nothing publishes, replies, or connects on its own. The official LinkedIn API, and your approval on every post.
  • Your strategy is generated from your profile and 50+ published posts in your first 15 minutes.
  • Analytics sync your complete history, and every idea is ranked by what beat your own average.
  • The bill scales by the brands you run, not the people you invite. Reviewers and clients join free.

In fairness

  • Stanley is lighter to adopt: chat in, draft out, nothing else to learn.
  • If drafting help is all you want, and you enjoy running the rest yourself, our loop is machinery you may not need.

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.

A loop, not just drafting

Stanley is a focused drafting companion, and a good one. Depost AI picks up where it stops: ideas ranked from your real numbers, the graphic designed with the post, scheduling through LinkedIn’s official API, and engagement drafted in your voice.

Your 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.

Room 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.

Depost AI vs Stanley, asked directly.

Is Depost AI a good Stanley alternative?

If you want more than drafting, yes. Depost AI covers what Stanley does (chat-first drafts in your voice) and adds the rest of the job: analytics-driven ideas, generated graphics, scheduling, engagement, and team approvals.

What does Depost AI have that Stanley does not?

As of August 2026: 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.

Does Depost AI schedule and publish posts, unlike Stanley?

Yes. Approved drafts go into a best-time queue and publish through the official LinkedIn API, and the first comment is written with every post, ready the moment it goes live. With Stanley, you carry the finished draft to LinkedIn yourself.

Which is better for LinkedIn growth, Stanley or Depost AI?

They solve different sizes of problem. Stanley makes writing a post easier. Depost AI grows the account: analytics decide what to write next, agents draft and design it, the queue publishes it, and engagement turns readers into conversations.

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.
