Draftly
AI LinkedIn post and carousel writer with scheduling.
From $19/mo Free tier
Bottom line
Draftly is a LinkedIn writer and scheduler with a free plan of 5 posts a month and paid Starter at $19/mo for 50 posts.
Stands out for: Inbox Management and LinkedIn Outreach are optional $19/mo add-ons on any plan, including Free.
Watch out for: Pro's 200 posts and 1,000 extension comments still sit inside LinkedIn publishing, so this is not a multi-network scheduler.
Overview
Draftly generates LinkedIn posts and PDF carousels from topics, questions, or links, then schedules them from a content calendar. Free is $0 with 5 posts and 20 extension comments per month. Starter is $19/mo for 50 posts and 300 comments. Pro is $49/mo for 200 posts and 1,000 comments. Brand voice profiles are unlimited on every plan.
Annual billing is offered on Starter and Pro. Inbox Management adds split tabs and up to 100 AI reply drafts for $19/mo. LinkedIn Outreach is a separate $19/mo add-on for connection invites, follow-ups, and CSV imports up to 5,000 leads. Core writing, carousels, and scheduling are included on Free.
