The verdict

AuthoredUp makes your writing better. Imagine AI does the writing.

AuthoredUp is the better fit for individuals and ghostwriters who write every post and want the best editor and analytics inside LinkedIn, at a low price. Imagine AI fits B2B teams whose leaders and team should be posting but are not, and who need the content tied to revenue.

Choose AuthoredUp if
  • You or your ghostwriter write every post and want a better editor, previews and text styling.
  • You want deep analytics on your historical posts from $19.95 a month.
  • You want no automation of any kind on the account.
  • You also post to LinkedIn groups.
Choose Imagine AI if
  • Nobody on the team has time to write.
  • You want a graphic drafted with every post, on brand, from your brand kit.
  • You want drafts built from your own positioning, brand kit, decks and campaigns, so posts need small edits, not rewrites.
  • You want engagers matched against HubSpot or Salesforce and closed deals traced to their first content touch.
  • You want the company page, founders, executives and employees on one calendar, with unlimited teammates.

What both do
  • Support personal profiles and company pages.
  • Keep a person in control: nothing posts without approval.
  • Offer an API for your data.

AuthoredUp vs Imagine AI, in five differences

Each one ends with the line that matters.

[01]

Editor versus agent

AuthoredUp gives a writer formatting, a multi-device preview, hooks and endings, drafts and snippets inside LinkedIn. Its AI assistant, Coauthor, is in closed beta. Imagine AI's agent researches and drafts each post and its graphic, and people review, approve or edit.

AuthoredUp helps you write. Imagine AI writes.

[02]

AuthoredUp wins on writer tooling and price

For someone who writes their own posts, AuthoredUp's editor, native scheduling through the extension and analytics on past posts are hard to beat at $19.95 a month, and ghostwriters who do not connect a profile are free on Business.

Pick the specialist when you are the writer.

[03]

Analytics versus attribution

AuthoredUp breaks down performance by post type, day, length and readability. Imagine AI matches the people engaging against HubSpot or Salesforce, traces closed deals back to their first content touch and hands sales a weekly list of engagers matched to your ICP.

Which posts did well versus which posts made money.

[04]

Profiles side by side versus one content motion

AuthoredUp Business connects multiple profiles with separate drafts and analytics. Imagine AI puts the company page and every person on one calendar, reading the same content filesystem, so every post supports the same positioning and campaigns.

Several profiles versus one coordinated team.

[05]

Engagement on LinkedIn

AuthoredUp does no automation and uses LinkedIn's own scheduler. Imagine AI's agent posts, comments, connects and messages for you, and you approve what goes out. Neither runs engagement pods or bots.

AuthoredUp does none; Imagine AI does it with your approval.
