1. MagicPost: the recommendations AuthoredUp's own users ask for

MagicPost is the LinkedIn-only premium solution: AI-native, safe and complete. Start with the wish AuthoredUp's happiest public reviewer makes, "suggestions on what type of content to post based on what's worked": that layer is precisely what MagicPost ships. Its writing advice is grounded in our published research on 1.2M LinkedIn posts (including the finding that AI-sounding posts earn 57% less engagement, which the built-in humanizer exists to prevent), and its analytics tell you what worked and against what baseline: market benchmarks ("See how you stack up against LinkedIn market benchmarks") and audience analysis by countries, job fields and verticals. For scale, the median creator earns a 0.39% engagement rate per post; analytics that do not place you against a number like that are a diary, not a compass.

The rest of the loop comes with it, on LinkedIn's official API as a LinkedIn-verified application: AI writing that learns your voice from your account, idea generation, a 2M+ post inspiration library, scheduling, comment scheduling, engagement workflows (curated feeds, daily objectives, AI comment suggestions you approve) and lead detection with CRM integrations. No extension in your session; nothing for LinkedIn to switch off.

Three differences that matter most coming from AuthoredUp:

• The blank page problem gets solved, not formatted. AuthoredUp gives you 150+ hooks to study; MagicPost drafts the post in your voice and lets you edit. You keep the craft, you lose the cold start.

• Analytics that compare, not just collect. AuthoredUp's dashboard is genuinely good at counting (saves, sends, profile views, CSV export). MagicPost adds the missing question: is that good? Benchmarks and audience analysis answer it.

• No extension, and a trust record you can check. Official API, and a Trustpilot of 4.7 out of 5 across 91 reviews as of June 2026, against AuthoredUp's two reviews ever. The trial is verbatim "100% free trial. No credit card, No commitment."

The full surface, feature by feature (verified on both products' own pages, June 2026):

On the day-to-day, the move is gentler than it looks: MagicPost's interface is the thing its own reviews praise most, and the craft habits AuthoredUp built survive intact, drafts, previews, a queue, but they sit inside one loop instead of beside it. The post you draft is the post you schedule, the post you schedule feeds the analytics, and the analytics feed the next suggestion. AuthoredUp's pieces are excellent; they are also pieces.

Read it honestly: if your week is "I know exactly what to write, I want it formatted, previewed and counted," AuthoredUp executes that narrow brief better than almost anything, and its transparency about how it works is the standard the category should meet. The case for moving is everything the brief leaves out, and the fact that even its fans are asking for the data layer.
