Moving from Taplio to AuthoredUp in 2026 means prioritizing deep formatting and draft management. Stay with Taplio if you need AI writing or carousel building. This guide is for LinkedIn creators who value precise control over their content presentation.
What actually changes
The daily workflow shifts significantly. You gain control over text, but lose some automation. Here is a direct comparison of core features.
The migration: Step-by-step to AuthoredUp
Export your content from Taplio
Download all past posts and saved drafts. Scheduled posts will not transfer.
Sign up for AuthoredUp
Start a free trial to explore the features. This allows a smooth transition.
Install the AuthoredUp Chrome extension
This extension is crucial for AuthoredUp's functionality. It integrates with LinkedIn.
Import existing drafts into AuthoredUp
Manually copy and paste your content. There is no automated import from Taplio.
Cancel your Taplio subscription
Do this only after all content is secure in AuthoredUp and you are comfortable.
Scheduled posts will not transfer
Your scheduled Taplio posts will not automatically transfer. Reschedule them manually in AuthoredUp.
What you give up moving to AuthoredUp
The transition involves trading some features for others. You lose built-in AI and visual content tools. These are the main differences.
- No built-in AI writing assistance. You will need external tools for AI-generated content.
- No carousel builder. Visual carousels require separate tools and manual upload.
- Reduced engagement features compared to Taplio's dedicated tools.
- Dependency on a Chrome extension for the best experience.
What it costs to move
Taplio costs from $49/mo. AuthoredUp costs from $19.95/mo. The direct subscription cost is lower. However, consider the switching cost.
Hidden switching costs
Budget 2-4 hours of your time to export, import, and re-familiarize yourself with the new workflow. This is a common overlooked expense.
Before you cancel: Export your content
Ensure you retain all valuable data before canceling your Taplio subscription. This checklist helps prevent data loss.
Essential Taplio exports
Prompt to extract top-performing posts
Claude / GPT-4Act as a data analyst. I need to export my top 10 best-performing LinkedIn posts from Taplio before I switch tools. For each post, provide: 1. The full text, 2. The date published, 3. Total likes, 4. Total comments, 5. Total shares. Format this as a markdown table. Assume I will manually input the raw data.
Can I run both during the switch?
Yes, you can run both Taplio and AuthoredUp simultaneously. This eases the transition. You can set up AuthoredUp and transfer content without interruption.
Smoother transition
Running both tools for a week or two creates a smoother transition. You avoid a content gap during the move.
Will my scheduled posts transfer?
No, scheduled posts in Taplio will not automatically transfer to AuthoredUp. You must manually move and reschedule them.
Manual rescheduling required
Scheduled posts do not transfer automatically. You must manually copy and reschedule any upcoming content.
What about my content templates?
Taplio templates are not directly importable into AuthoredUp. You will need to recreate them using AuthoredUp's template system.
Prompt to reformat templates for AuthoredUp
Claude / GPT-4Take my existing LinkedIn post template from Taplio. It has placeholders like [HOOK], [VALUE_POINT_1], [CTA]. Reformat this into a clean text block that I can copy into AuthoredUp's template feature. Ensure all formatting like bolding and bullet points are clearly indicated using markdown, ready for manual re-entry.
How do I learn AuthoredUp quickly?
Start with AuthoredUp's rich formatting features and template creation. Practice drafting a few posts to get comfortable with the interface. The Chrome extension integrates directly into LinkedIn.
Focus on strengths
Focus on AuthoredUp's strengths first: rich formatting and template system. This will speed up your learning.
