Kleo from $99/mo

Closest alternatives

The short answer

Draftly : Draftly has a free 5-post plan and paid Starter at $19/mo, versus Kleo's single $99/mo plan with no free tier. From $19/mo
Taplio : Taplio starts at $39/mo with a trial and a contact database, while Kleo is writing, graphics, and coaching at $99/mo. From $39/mo
AuthoredUp : AuthoredUp edits inside LinkedIn's compose window from about $20/mo with a 14-day trial, not a $99 web app. From $19.95/mo
Supergrow : Supergrow is a LinkedIn writer and carousel tool from $19/mo with a trial, a fifth of Kleo's monthly rate. From $19/mo

Why people look past Kleo

There is no trial and no cheaper seat. Monthly only has a 7-day money-back window, so a real test usually means paying for the year.

What we noted

No free plan and no day-counted trial
20 graphics per month is a hard creative cap at $99
Much more expensive than LinkedIn editors that start near $19/mo

Not the right fit for

Anyone who needs a free plan or a 14-day no-card trial before paying
Agencies that need cheap extra seats, since extra profiles add another $49 to $99 line

Worth keeping in mind: The annual bundle is $999/yr (save $189 versus 12 months at $99) and is the plan that carries the 30-day money-back window.

What each one does differently

Draftly

$19/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Draftly has a free 5-post plan and paid Starter at $19/mo, versus Kleo's single $99/mo plan with no free tier.

Stands out: Inbox Management and LinkedIn Outreach are optional $19/mo add-ons on any plan, including Free.

Watch out: Pro's 200 posts and 1,000 extension comments still sit inside LinkedIn publishing, so this is not a multi-network scheduler.

Best for

Creators who want a no-card LinkedIn writer with carousel previews
Weekday posters who need Starter's 50 posts and 300 extension comments
Daily publishers who will burn Pro's 200 posts and 1,000 comments

Taplio

$39/mo 7 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Taplio starts at $39/mo with a trial and a contact database, while Kleo is writing, graphics, and coaching at $99/mo.

Stands out: Hosted LinkedIn MCP server, so Claude or ChatGPT can draft, schedule, and queue comments on your Taplio account.

Watch out: The 7-day trial gives full Pro access, then you move to the plan you picked. Unlimited AI credits and automated lead outreach are on Pro at $199/mo.

Best for

Creators who want LinkedIn drafts, analytics, and comments in one app
Founders building a personal brand on a $39 plan
Users who will run LinkedIn from Claude via MCP

AuthoredUp

$19.95/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: AuthoredUp edits inside LinkedIn's compose window from about $20/mo with a 14-day trial, not a $99 web app.

Stands out: A hosted MCP server and a REST API come with trial and paid accounts, so AI assistants can read your posts, stats and drafts.

Watch out: Business costs $14.95 per profile per month with a three-profile minimum. The free trial has no stated length, and there is no free-forever plan.

Best for

Individuals formatting and scheduling LinkedIn posts
Small teams sharing drafts across three or more profiles
Users who want Claude to read drafts via MCP

Supergrow

$19/mo 7 day free trial MCP

Why it comes up: Supergrow is a LinkedIn writer and carousel tool from $19/mo with a trial, a fifth of Kleo's monthly rate.

Stands out: Postcast turns a short AI interview into several LinkedIn posts, and Pro adds a Supergrow MCP server for Claude or ChatGPT.

Watch out: Starter caps Postcast at 2 sessions and leaves out carousels, analytics and MCP. Those need Pro at $39/mo.

Best for

Solo creators starting on the $19 Starter plan
Executives who would rather talk than write posts
People repurposing videos, articles and PDFs
