LinkedIn automation pricing.

What does LinkedIn automation cost?

Five price bands, and the one you belong in is decided by the job you need done, not by your budget. Find the job first; the number follows from it.

What does a LinkedIn tool have to cover?

Five jobs — and hardly anything in this category does more than two of them. Carry this list through the rest of the page; it turns a wall of prices into a comparison you can actually make.

Here is how the main tools score against that list, using each vendor’s own description of itself. “Assisted” means the tool drafts and a human presses send. “Not stated” means the vendor does not address that job on its site at all — which is not the same as “no”, and this page will not print it as one.

Linkvsta is the only row that covers all five, and the row needs its own honesty: content, visuals and engagement are the $129 Growth tier; outreach, the leads CRM and the competitor scan arrive at $199. Read the other rows the same way — Supergrow’s carousels are Pro-only at $39, and Taplio’s outreach is Pro-only at $199.

What does the cheapest tier actually include?

Very often, not the feature you are buying the tool for — and Taplio is the clearest example in the category. Its advertised $39 entry price buys scheduling, analytics and consistency tooling, with no AI writing at all. AI writing starts at Growth, $69. And the automated lead outreach Taplio markets hardest is Pro-only, at $199 a month or $149 billed annually.

That single fact reframes most of the comparisons you will read. If outreach is what you want from Taplio, you are weighing $199 against Expandi at $99 and Dripify at $59 — not $39 against anything. If AI drafting is what you want, you are weighing $69 against Supergrow at $39 and ContentIn at $39. The “from” price in this category is almost never the price of the thing you came for.

The same pattern repeats across the category:

The working rule: find the row for the one feature you are actually buying, price that tier, and then check it against the five jobs. A cheap tier that covers one job is not cheap if you need four.

What does covering all five actually cost?

About $206 a month, from four vendors — and that is the cheapest combination we could assemble from the dated prices in this guide. Here is the bill, built from the dated prices above.

Now make one substitution. Dripify’s own FAQ says its actions run from your local IP and it makes no dedicated-address claim; swap it for Expandi at $99, which publishes a country-matched dedicated address per account and automatic warm-up, and the same five jobs cost $246 a month. Linkvsta Pro is $199 for all five, from one engine, on one invoice, with a dedicated IP per account. That is the comparison this whole page exists to let you make, and it is checkable line by line against the table above.

Price is only half of what the stack costs you. Four products means four subscriptions to evaluate, four renewal dates, four support queues — and, more importantly, four systems that know nothing about each other. The tool posting your comments has never read the post you published. The outreach tool does not know who engaged with it. Nobody in that stack can decide that the person who commented twice this week is the one worth inviting, because no single product can see both events. One engine can, and that is the actual argument for buying the bundle rather than the parts.

The cheapest partial version of this is worth pricing properly, because a lot of readers will consider it. Supergrow Pro plus Commentify Starter is $78 a month and covers writing, carousels and hands-off commenting — three of the five jobs, from two vendors, for less than our Growth tier. What that $78 does not buy is a dedicated address for the commenting (Commentify runs as a Chrome extension in your own browser, which the vendor states plainly), any outreach at all, or the link between the two halves: the comment tool has never read the post the writing tool published, and neither of them can tell you that the person who engaged with you twice this week is the one worth inviting. Linkvsta Growth is $129 for those same three jobs with that link in place and a dedicated IP behind them, and $199 adds the outreach and the competitor scan the pair cannot do at any price.

What do LinkedIn automation tools cost, side by side?

If you only want the cheapest credible option for each job: AuthoredUp at $19.95 for writing, Commentify at $39 for automated commenting, Dripify at $59 for outreach sequences, and HeyReach at $999 for running twenty-five accounts at once. Twenty-one tools, every price dated.

Three prices are deliberately missing. EasyGen’s pricing sits behind a login and the third-party figures conflict sharply, so no number for it is safe to print. Contentdrips and Typefully both render their pricing tables in JavaScript and carried mutually contradictory numbers in their own page source on the check date. A guide that invents a figure to fill a cell is worse than one with a gap in it.

Why do content tools cost $19 and outreach tools cost $99?

Because of what has to run underneath them. A content tool publishes a post and stops. An outreach tool has to keep acting as you, for months, without your account being restricted — and the infrastructure that makes that survivable is the line item you are really paying for.

You can read the price difference straight off the vendors’ own architecture statements. HeyReach’s help centre says every LinkedIn account gets a dedicated static residential address that is never shared between two accounts, and that it freezes an account at 200 actions a day whether you like it or not. Expandi publishes the same shape — cloud execution, a country-matched address per account, automatic warm-up that starts deliberately slow. Dripify is the cheapest of the three at $59, and its own FAQ explains why: it runs from your local IP and makes no dedicated-address claim at all.

So here is the second question worth carrying to every vendor you shortlist: does my account share an address with strangers, and what happens when LinkedIn pushes back? In the outreach band, three companies answer it in public — HeyReach, Expandi and Dripify, each in their own words. In the content and engagement band, almost nobody does: Taplio and Zeekeo do not disclose how they connect to LinkedIn at all, and Commentify and lemlist run inside your own browser as extensions. Linkvsta gives every account its own dedicated IP, paces actions with randomised gaps rather than on a schedule, and pulls its own volume down automatically at the first warning sign instead of after a restriction. That belongs on this page because it is a real cost of running the thing, and because a tool that publishes nothing about it is asking you to assume.

None of this makes an extension a scandal — it is a trade-off, and a cheaper one. But it is the trade-off, and a price comparison that ignores it is comparing two different products. If that axis is what you care about, we wrote the long version of the safety question separately.

Why does per-seat pricing get expensive for agencies?

Because per-seat pricing is linear and your client list is not — and because the seat price is only half the story. What matters is whether your vendor gives volume relief, charges an agency premium on top, or neither.

The three behaviours, on published prices. Volume relief: AuthoredUp Business is $14.95 per profile against $19.95 solo, Supergrow Teams is $139 for four accounts ($34.75 each), HeyReach is $999 flat for twenty-five senders against $79 each, Skylead is $999 for fifty seats. Agency premium: HeyReach’s multi-brand whitelabel is a $500 add-on per brand, and Expandi’s agency tier is a custom quote starting at ten seats — a number you cannot check before a call. Neither: lemlist ties one LinkedIn account to one lemlist account, so every extra client is another $109 with no relief at all.

A Linkvsta seat is the client’s own tier — $79, $129 or $199, the same numbers a direct customer pays, whitelabel included, no per-seat ladder, minimum five seats. Against the four-tool stack priced above at $206 per client, the arithmetic runs:

That gap compounds, and so does the part the table cannot show: twenty clients on the stack is eighty subscriptions to administer, against twenty seats on one invoice.

Where the flat volume tiers land, in the same terms. HeyReach is $999 for twenty-five senders, with a dedicated residential address per account and a daily freeze at 200 actions you cannot override — the best-documented safety story in the category, and cheaper than us at volume if outreach is the entire job: twenty accounts is $999 against our $2,580, and the flat plan pays for itself at about thirteen. What that $999 covers is one of the five jobs. It sends invitations and messages; it does not write a post, build a carousel, run the commenting or tell you what is working in your clients’ niches, so an agency that owes clients those adds a writing tool, a visuals tool and a commenting tool per client on top — which is how a flat fee turns into a floor rather than the bill. Twenty Linkvsta Growth seats is $2,580 for the writing, the visuals and the engagement across all twenty, whitelabelled, on one invoice — and a Pro seat at $199 carries the outreach and the competitor scan for the clients who need them, on the same login.

What is not in the sticker price?

Setup fees, minimum terms, per-profile floors, prerequisites sold separately and the sheer overhead of running four vendors — enough, in several cases here, to double the real first-year cost. These are the eight that turn up most often in this category.

How do I work out what I should pay?

Five questions, in this order. Each one eliminates most of the category, and the third is the one people skip and then regret.

Question three deserves far more weight than it usually gets, because it is not a price question at all. Almost everything in this category is a dashboard someone has to sit in front of: a tool that costs $39 and needs you every morning is not cheaper than one that costs $129 and needs you on Fridays — it is a different purchase with a cost you pay in hours instead of dollars. A $59 outreach tool nobody logs into is more expensive than a $397 managed service that runs, and this is the most common way money is wasted here. If the honest answer is that nobody will operate it, you are choosing between software that does the operating and people you pay to do it — and the published human floor is $397 a month at Cleverly for outreach and $2,000 at Column for content, neither of which includes the other half. That is the gap the $79–$199 band exists in: Linkvsta does the operating, on both halves, without a person in the dashboard every morning. We wrote a separate guide on how to choose a B2B lead generation company for that decision.

And before committing to anything annual, find out whether the work is any good on your audience. Most tools here run seven- to fourteen-day trials, and ours goes further: the free report needs no card and no signup, pulls your competitors’ actual posts and hands you the gaps in yours — the same competitor analysis the paid product runs before it writes anything. Judge the output first; buy the year afterwards.

Where does Linkvsta sit, and what does it not do?

Linkvsta is $79, $129 and $199 a month, and on the five-job test it is the only product in this guide that covers all five from one system: it writes the posts in your voice, renders the carousels and images in your brand, runs the commenting, sends the invitations and DMs, and scans your competitors — with a dedicated IP per account, pacing built to look like a person rather than a schedule, and automatic pullback at the first warning sign. The nearest equivalent assembled from the table is $206 to $246 a month across four vendors. That is the case, and it is checkable.

Here is what the cheaper products in this guide genuinely give you, and the exact point at which each one stops — read from their own sites on 8 September 2026:

Two of those deserve saying properly rather than in a list. AuthoredUp is the strongest pure editor in the category, and it is honest about what it is: $19.95 for a very good box to type in, and it states plainly that it automates nothing. The authoring controls it is bought for — bold and italic styling applied to your selection, a preview that renders the post as desktop and mobile with the “…more” fold shown where it actually falls, a readability score, a character count against the 3,000 cap — are all in Linkvsta, on every finished post, at no extra cost. What it still has over us is its library of 300-plus hooks, CSV export, analytics API access, and posting to company pages and groups. What we have over it is everything on either side of the typing: hand us a post you already wrote and we publish your text verbatim rather than re-drafting it, or let it draft in your voice; lock the format (text, carousel, image or poll); upload your own carousel PDF or image instead of a generated one; then it publishes, comments on other people’s posts, sends the invitations and the DMs, and watches your competitors. $19.95 buys the editor. $79 to $199 buys the same editor and everything that happens after you stop typing. And Supergrow undercuts us at the entry: $39 for voice-matched drafting plus carousels, and its Postcast feature — a recorded AI interview that becomes drafts — is the closest thing in software to a ghostwriter’s intake call. Two of the five jobs, and the vendor is explicit that nothing sends without a click, so the connection requests, the comments on other people’s posts and the competitor scan are still yours to do or ours to run.

Our own tier detail is on the pricing page, agency seats are on the agency page, and there are free LinkedIn tools here that need no account at all. We also keep head-to-head pages for the products people compare us against most often: Taplio, AuthoredUp, Cleverly, SalesBread, and hiring a ghostwriter.

And if the reason you are pricing tools is that you want pipeline rather than software, the two pages describing what we actually do with it are the done-for-you LinkedIn service and B2B lead generation without an agency.
