AuthoredUp

What AuthoredUp does

LinkedIn publishing usually separates into three jobs: drafting a post, deciding when it should appear, and reviewing what happened after publication. AuthoredUp presents those jobs as one LinkedIn-focused workspace. Its product overview lists a dashboard, editor, drafts, calendar, and posts area, and describes the tool as an all-in-one LinkedIn content creation and analytics platform. That positioning matters: the supplied documentation is about LinkedIn publishing, not a general multi-network scheduler.

The official product site is authoredup.com. The supplied pages do not name a separate legal vendor. In practice, the documented workflow is to write or format a post, save it as a draft, schedule it through a calendar, and then review the published post’s reach and engagement in a posts table or dashboard. Features named by the vendor include text styling and emoji support, preview before publishing, hooks and post endings, post reuse, and content analytics. These are vendor descriptions rather than the results of an independent hands-on test.

Who AuthoredUp fits

The best-evidenced fit is an individual creator or social media operator who publishes regularly to a LinkedIn profile and wants drafting, scheduling, and post-level reporting in one place. The Individual plan includes one profile connection and lists content analytics, unlimited drafts and snippets, unlimited company pages, 300+ hooks and post endings, and one-click post reuse. AuthoredUp’s pricing page also describes full extension and platform access on that plan. That package suits a single operator who manages a personal profile and perhaps company pages, although the definition of a profile connection and how company pages are counted should be confirmed.

Small teams and agencies are addressed through the Business plan, which is priced per profile with a minimum of three profiles and lists sub-accounts and draft collaboration (pricing page). That points to a fit for teams managing several LinkedIn profiles or client accounts, but the supplied excerpt does not detail approval workflows, role permissions, or seat counts. A reader who needs formal client approvals should treat those controls as unconfirmed rather than assume they are included.

Bloggers and freelancers may also fit if LinkedIn is a main distribution channel: the editor, hooks, calendar, and post analytics support a regular publishing routine. However, the supplied pages do not describe blog-to-LinkedIn republishing, RSS ingestion, or a broader content repurposing workflow. For a blogger whose primary need is turning articles into social posts, those are checks rather than documented features. The same caution applies to anyone who wants one calendar for LinkedIn and other networks.

Features and platform support

Writing, formatting, and drafts

The editor is the centre of the writing workflow. AuthoredUp says users can apply bold, italic, and emoji formatting, use included optimized hooks and readability grades, check a preview, and publish. The product overview also describes saving ideas into drafts, preparing posts for later, and posting or scheduling from the editor. The pricing page adds 300+ hooks and post endings, unlimited drafts and snippets, and one-click post reuse. These features are aimed at reducing the gap between drafting and scheduling: a post can be saved, revisited, and then sent to a profile, page, or group without moving to a separate writing tool.

The “readability grade” is a writing aid, not a guarantee of performance. It gives the author a signal about how easy a post may be to read; it does not establish that a post will reach a particular audience. Similarly, the hook library is a set of starting points, not evidence that a post will perform well.

Scheduling and the content calendar

AuthoredUp’s calendar page says posts can be scheduled for a profile, company page, and groups up to three months in advance. The same page describes a centralized view of upcoming and past posts, click-through to a post’s content and attachment, date and time adjustments from the calendar, and engagement statistics for published posts. It also says profile, page, and scheduled group posts can be managed together. Those are vendor-described capabilities; the supplied pages do not show how LinkedIn permissions or group posting rules affect them in practice.

Historical posts and analytics

The Posts page says users can access published LinkedIn posts and their metrics in one table. Listed metrics include text metrics, reach, engagement, and reactions, with advanced metrics such as saves, sends, and reports. The page also describes filtering by post type, account, tag, or time period, and searching by keyword. On the dashboard, the vendor says users can track growth, compare periods, and spot trends (product overview).

The inclusion of saves and sends is useful for analysis because those actions can indicate that a post was worth returning to or sharing, not merely that it was liked. That is an editorial reading of the listed metrics, not a measured finding from the product. The supplied evidence does not establish competitor tracking, export options, benchmark data, or a specific historical retention period.

Team collaboration

The Business plan lists sub-accounts and draft collaboration, alongside everything in the Individual plan (pricing page). Those features suggest a team workflow for multiple profiles, but the supplied excerpt does not describe approval chains, comment permissions, client-facing reports, or the number of people who can work inside each sub-account. Teams should confirm those details before adopting the tool for client work.

Platform and account support at a glance

No row is included for Instagram or X because the supplied evidence does not document those networks. That is an evidence gap, not proof that support is absent. Readers who need a cross-network calendar should verify platform coverage directly before choosing the product.

Pricing structure and practical cost

AuthoredUp uses a paid subscription model with plans priced by profile. The supplied pricing page lists a monthly Individual plan at $19.95 for one profile and a Business plan at $14.95 per profile per month with a minimum of three profiles. The page also invites readers to try the product for free without a credit card and says they can cancel at any time. The excerpt does not establish whether that free access is a permanent free plan, a trial, or a limited feature set; the distinction should be checked before relying on a no-cost option.

The same pricing excerpt also lists annual-billing amounts: $16.63 per month billed at $199.5/year and $12.46 per profile per month billed at $149.5/year with a minimum of three profiles. Because the supplied text does not make the plan mapping clear, those figures should not be treated as a quote for a specific configuration without checking the page.

As an illustration, a buyer who needs three profiles on the Business plan would calculate 3 × $14.95 = $44.85 per month before tax, assuming the monthly per-profile rate applies and there is no annual discount. Sustained for twelve months at the same rate, that would be 12 × $44.85 = $538.20, again before tax and before any price change. This is arithmetic from the published rate, not a guaranteed total or a vendor quote.

Strengths, limitations, and trade-offs

Documented strengths

• One LinkedIn-centred workspace. Writing, drafts, a calendar, and post analytics are presented in one product, which can reduce tool switching for a creator whose publishing is concentrated on LinkedIn (product overview; pricing page).
• A usable review loop. The Posts table and dashboard are designed to connect published content with reach, engagement, reactions, saves, sends, and reports, so a creator can review patterns rather than only count likes (Posts page).
• Scheduling across several LinkedIn surfaces. The calendar page documents scheduling for profiles, company pages, and groups up to three months ahead, with a single view for upcoming and past posts (calendar page).
• Writing support before publishing. Formatting, hooks, readability grades, preview, and post reuse are all aimed at the drafting stage, where small editorial choices are made (product overview; pricing page).
• A defined team entry point. The Business plan adds sub-accounts and draft collaboration, giving small teams a documented path beyond the single-profile Individual plan (pricing page).

Constraints and checks before committing

• The evidence is LinkedIn-specific. The supplied pages do not document Instagram, X, or other networks. A reader who needs a multi-network scheduler should verify support rather than infer it from the product’s social-media category.
• Free access is ambiguous. The site says “try for free” without a credit card, but the supplied text does not distinguish a free plan from a trial. Confirm the duration, limits, and what happens when the free access ends.
• Costs scale by profile. Business pricing is per profile with a three-profile minimum. A solo user may find the Individual plan sufficient, while an agency should model the total for every managed profile, not just the starting price.
• Publishing permissions remain a practical dependency. Vendor descriptions of publishing and scheduling do not remove the need to confirm LinkedIn profile, company-page, and group permissions, especially when a team manages accounts it does not own.
• Collaboration details are thin. Sub-accounts and draft collaboration are listed, but roles, approvals, and user limits are not described in the supplied excerpt. A team with client review requirements should ask for a demonstration.
• Analytics scope needs confirmation. Advanced post metrics are documented, but competitor analysis, exports, benchmark data, and retention periods are not established by the supplied pages. Treat those as unknown, not as confirmed absences.
• Annual and Growth pricing need a direct check. The annual figures and the Growth plan’s minimum profile count are present, but the excerpt’s layout makes the exact mapping unclear. Confirm the current quote and billing terms on the official pricing page.

Evidence scope and next checks

This profile is based on official AuthoredUp pages retrieved on October 30, 2026. It is a documentary review, not a hands-on test. The supplied snippets do not show the full pricing conditions, every help-centre article, or the actual behaviour of LinkedIn permissions, analytics, or team controls. Where the evidence is silent, this profile marks the point as unknown or asks the reader to confirm it rather than filling the gap with an assumption.

Before committing, a reader should:

1. Confirm the number of profiles, company pages, and groups that need to be managed, and whether the Individual or Business plan covers that mix.
2. Check whether the free access is a trial or a continuing free plan, and what limits apply.
3. Verify that publishing and scheduling work with the relevant LinkedIn profile, page, and group permissions.
4. Ask which analytics metrics are available for each surface and how long historical data is retained.
5. Clarify sub-account roles, draft collaboration, approval steps, and user limits if the tool is for a team.
6. Obtain a current total quote, including tax and any annual-billing difference, for the exact profile count.
