November 2026 comparison

AuthoredUp vs Supergrow Write it yourself, or talk it out.

AuthoredUp is a LinkedIn editor and stats tool where you write every word yourself, run through a Chrome extension, for $19.95 a month with a 14-day trial and no card. Supergrow writes posts with AI from an interview, connects through LinkedIn’s official sign-in, and costs $39 a month after a 7-day trial that asks for a card. I tried both in the same week of November 2026.

5 differences that matter.

  1. 1

    Who writes the post

    AuthoredUp

    You do. Its AI assistant, Coauthor, is a closed beta you apply for. You get 300+ hooks and endings to start from, many of them fill-in-the-blank templates.

    Supergrow

    Its AI, mostly from PostCast, an interview on one topic (10 to 15 minutes on its site, 30 in the app). Its rewrite tools need text to work on; a one-line idea wasn’t enough.

  2. 2

    How it connects to LinkedIn

    AuthoredUp

    Through its Chrome extension, inside your own LinkedIn session. Posting, scheduling, carousels, polls, video and stats all need it.

    Supergrow

    LinkedIn’s official sign-in. No extension to post or engage.

  3. 3

    Price and trial

    AuthoredUp

    $19.95 a month for one profile ($16.63 yearly). 14-day trial, no card, and it simply stops. Fees are non-refundable.

    Supergrow

    $39 a month for one account ($31 yearly), $199 for Teams of 5. 7-day trial with a card asked for during sign-up; it turns paid unless you cancel. No refunds beyond billing errors.

  4. 4

    Stats

    AuthoredUp

    The deeper of the two: saves, sends, reach, follower growth and years of past posts, with CSV export and an API. Collected when you view posts with the extension on.

    Supergrow

    Profile and post stats with a weekly report. Reviewers say they add little beyond LinkedIn’s own, and nothing from before you sign up.

  5. 5

    Carousels and extras

    AuthoredUp

    No carousel maker; attach a PDF you made elsewhere. No first comment. Unlimited company pages and LinkedIn groups.

    Supergrow

    A carousel maker with templates, an automatic first comment, Engage for comments, a Kanban board and a viral post search.

First-hand

One left all the thinking to me. One needed an interview.

Kaustubh KatdareFounder, Wiral.Social

With AuthoredUp, the AI is still a closed beta, so I had to do all the thinking. Without its extension, which I don’t install, it’s a formatting notepad with stats stuck at zero.

Supergrow at least writes. But not from my one-line idea: it asked me to select some text. Its posts come from an AI interview, and mine stayed on one topic until I got bored at about six minutes. The posts were inspired by what I said, but partly made up.

They’re built for different people. If you love writing and live in your stats, AuthoredUp. If you’d rather talk, Supergrow. If you want posts in your own voice from a single line, that’s why I built Wiral.

My own trial

Screenshots I took myself. The numbered notes take turns; tap one to see its part.

Supergrow wants something to work with.

My one-line idea, and the only answer it gave. AuthoredUp would have left it to me too.

Hooks you can only copy.

Like AuthoredUp’s hook library, you rebuild the post around the hook yourself.

What people say about AuthoredUp

4.7 on Chrome Web Store (70 reviews)

“That's the main problem AuthoredUp solves.”

A long-time user says it solves not knowing how a post will look in the feed before it goes live.Product Hunt (launch comment by Lars Kamp)
  • Users say the drafts, preview, hooks, readability counts and post reuse help them write on LinkedIn consistently
  • One user likes having publishing and personal-profile analytics in one tool, which most schedulers cannot show
  • Customer service and a team that listens to users get praise
  • One user said LinkedIn sync broke for weeks: some posts vanished and carousels and polls did not show in the calendar

What people say about Supergrow

  • A G2 reviewer (4/5, Mar 2026) likes scheduling with the calendar view, the simple setup and responsive support
  • The same G2 reviewer says analytics have not worked well and wants better views of performance over time and top posts
  • Earlier G2 reviewers (5/5, Nov 2023) call it a simple, powerful tool for growing a personal brand on LinkedIn
  • The only Product Hunt review, from a SaaS founder, says it made creating and scheduling LinkedIn posts much faster

From someone who posts with Wiri★★★★★
“I’d tell a friend Wiral makes LinkedIn easier to keep up with: I can write from my stories when I have time, then generate and schedule posts in one place. I can’t do without it now, and engagement’s gone 10x.”
