You’ve used Taplio for LinkedIn growth, but now your team needs more. More collaboration, more control, more channels. Switching tools is never easy, especially when you’ve built a workflow around one. This guide walks you through migrating from Taplio to Loomly in 2026, detailing what changes, what you gain, and what you unfortunately leave behind. We’ll cover the practical steps and hidden costs, ensuring you make the move smoothly and without surprises.
Who should switch from Taplio to Loomly?
And who should definitely not.
Move to Loomly if your team struggles with content approvals. It works if you need unlimited social calendars, or manage multiple brands. Loomly excels at structured collaboration and multi-channel planning. If you are a solo creator focused solely on LinkedIn AI-assisted content, staying with Taplio is probably a better fit.

A side-by-side look at your new reality.
The migration itself: step-by-step to Loomly
What to do and what might break at each stage.
Export existing content from Taplio
Taplio allows you to export your scheduled posts and content drafts. Save any evergreen content or ideas you want to reuse. Be aware, AI-generated content might not export cleanly. It will lose its original AI context.
Set up your Loomly account and calendars
Create your Loomly account. Define your social media calendars based on brands, regions, or clients. Loomly's strength is unlimited calendars, so plan this structure carefully from the start.
Add team members and define roles
Invite your team. Assign specific roles and permissions within Loomly. This ensures content flows through the right approval stages. Taplio had simpler user roles, so this step requires more thought.
Connect social media accounts
Link all your social profiles, including LinkedIn. Ensure you have the necessary permissions for each platform. Loomly supports a wider range of platforms than Taplio.
Import evergreen content and re-plan
Manually re-upload and schedule any content you exported from Taplio. Loomly does not have a direct import feature from Taplio. Use Loomly's post ideas and best-time suggestions to fill your new calendars.
Train your team on Loomly workflows
Loomly's approval workflows are a core feature. Invest time in training your team on the new submission and approval process. This is a significant shift from Taplio's more direct publishing model.
Key Insight: Loomly's strength is its structure
Loomly forces a more disciplined content process. This can feel slow initially, but it prevents errors and ensures brand consistency across teams and channels. It's a trade-off: speed for control.
What you lose when you move to Loomly
Honest truths about the features you'll miss.
Leaving Taplio means saying goodbye to some specific LinkedIn-focused features. You’ll lose the built-in AI ghostwriting trained specifically for LinkedIn content. This means you'll need to find an external AI tool or write more content manually. The carousel builder is also gone, requiring you to use separate design tools for visual content. Taplio's viral post inspiration library, a quick source of content ideas, also won't be available in Loomly.
What it costs to move: price and hidden switching costs
Beyond the monthly fee, consider the time investment.
Loomly pricing starts at $65/month (billed monthly) or $49/month (billed yearly, $588/year). This is for the Starter plan, which includes 3 users and 12 social accounts. The next tier, Beyond, jumps to $332/month. This gap means many teams quickly outgrow Starter and face a significant price increase.
The hidden switching cost is team training. Loomly's approval workflows are powerful but require adoption. Budget time for onboarding and adjusting to the new process. You'll also need to budget for external AI writing tools or design software if you relied heavily on Taplio's built-in features.

Don't leave anything important behind.
Essential exports from Taplio
Can I run both during the switch?
Best practices for a smooth transition.
Yes, running both Taplio and Loomly concurrently during the transition period is highly recommended. This allows you to gradually migrate content and workflows without shaking up your publishing schedule. Start by scheduling new content in Loomly while Taplio finishes its existing queue. Aim for a 2-4 week overlap.
How do I recreate Taplio's AI ghostwriting?
Using external tools for LinkedIn content.
Prompt for LinkedIn Post Ideas
Claude / GPT-4You are a LinkedIn content strategist. Generate 5 unique LinkedIn post ideas about [TOPIC/INDUSTRY]. Each idea should include a hook, 3-4 bullet points for the main body, and a call to action. Focus on [SPECIFIC AUDIENCE] and aim for a [TONE, e.g. educational, contrarian] tone. The goal is to drive engagement and position me as an expert in [YOUR NICHE].
You'll need to integrate external AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude for content generation. Develop specific prompts tailored to LinkedIn's style and your personal brand. This adds a step to your workflow but gives you more control over the AI's output.
What about my LinkedIn analytics?
Loomly's reporting capabilities.
Loomly offers basic analytics, but they are not as detailed or LinkedIn-specific as Taplio's. You'll get post-performance metrics, but deeper audience insights or viral trend analysis will need to come directly from LinkedIn Analytics or a dedicated social listening tool. Loomly's Starter plan includes only 2 listening queries per month, which is quite limited.
Best for agencies or in-house teams?
Matching Loomly to your organizational structure.
Loomly is best for in-house marketing teams and small agencies. Its approval workflows, custom roles, and unlimited calendars directly address the pain points of managing content across multiple clients or brands. The ability to separate brands or regions into distinct calendars without additional cost is a major benefit for these structures.
