You need a **LinkedIn content / personal-brand** desk this week — posts, calendar, inspiration — not a multi-platform queue and not an outreach bot. Park the brief. The agent drafts Taplio posts. **You approve.** Schedule and publish stay gated behind yes.
Buffer owns multi-platform queue. Metricool owns analytics+schedule. **ReactIn stays ToS HOLD** (outreach). **AuthoredUp stays PARKED** (Taplio blur). Taplio is the LinkedIn content/brand seat. Do not blur them. **No auto-engage / ban-bait** as the job this week. There is **no permanent Free plan**. You get a **7-day trial with full Pro access**, then **Starter from $39/mo**, **Growth from $69/mo**, or **Pro from $199/mo** (annual cheaper). Starter has **no AI writing**. Do not invent impressions. Do not invent cookie days.

Use cases
You need LinkedIn content / brand desk — not multi-platform queue, not analytics suite, not outreach bot
Buffer = multi-platform queue (owns social-queue-week). Metricool = analytics + schedule suite. ReactIn = outreach ToS HOLD. AuthoredUp = PARKED (Taplio blur). Taplio = LinkedIn content + brand growth desk (posts, calendar, inspiration — content lane). Loud sibling blur — do not swap. Not auto-engage / ban-bait.
The agent drafts LinkedIn posts. You approve. Schedule and publish are gated
Soft slots: {{linkedin_profile}} {{week_theme}} {{post_cadence}} {{voice_notes}} {{do_not_publish}}. Agent parks draft posts + proposed slots (or MCP drafts when connected). You approve. Live X HARD HELD for Scout. Never silent-publish · never silent-schedule · never silent auto-comment / auto-engage without explicit yes.
No permanent Free — trial and paid honesty
No permanent Free plan (official pricing blog 2026-07-23). Free doors: free LinkedIn tools (generator/carousel/formatter/headline) + **7-day free trial with full Pro access**. Starter **$39/mo** ($32/mo annual) = scheduling + analytics + consistency — **no AI writing**. Growth **$69/mo** ($49/mo annual) = AI drafting + engage tools. Pro **$199/mo** ($149/mo annual) = unlimited AI + lead layer. Some public pricing pages still label the mid tier **Standard $65/mo** — naming/price honesty gap; re-check live pricing before quoting. Never invent Free caps.
