# The Stanley alternative built for LinkedIn, teams, and clients Canonical page: https://depost.ai/alternatives/stanley Stanley is an assistant you message, for creators on several platforms. Depost AI goes deep on LinkedIn: ideas from your analytics, drafts with graphics, engagement, and approvals for clients and teams. Stanley is built for cross-platform creators. ## Depost AI vs Stanley, row by row | | Depost AI | Stanley | | --- | --- | --- | | Talk-to-it chat creation | Yes · the home screen | Yes · by message | | Agents run the loop end-to-end | Four agents + scheduling | Drafts, schedules, posts · by message | | Real impressions + follower history | Yes | Reports post numbers | | Designs graphics for the post | Yes | None shown | | Targeted feeds with lead tracking | Stages, notes, reminders | None shown | | Replies and DMs drafted in your voice | Yes · you send them | Comment replies shown | | Team approval workflow | Rounds + comments + roles | None shown | | MCP · drive it from Claude or ChatGPT | Yes · brand-scoped keys | No | | Multi-brand workspaces | Yes | No | | Nothing goes out without your approval | Approved by you, always | You approve by reply | | Starts at · monthly billing | $59/mo · Team $99, free invites | $79/mo · no public pricing page | | Pricing scales by | Brand · invites free | Seat | | Built for | Founders, B2B teams & agencies | Cross-platform creators | Every Stanley cell reflects their live site as of October 5, 2026, prices as of September 8, 2026. Corrections: support@depost.ai. ## 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. ## 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 Stanley - 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. Pick Stanley if you are one creator posting on Instagram, X, and LinkedIn, and you want to run all of it from a message thread. ## 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. ([more](https://depost.ai/features/agents)) - **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. ([more](https://depost.ai/features/analytics)) - **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. ([more](https://depost.ai/features/workspaces)) ## Depost 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. ## Other comparisons - [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 AuthoredUp](https://depost.ai/alternatives/authoredup) - [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/stanley).
