The migration itself: A step-by-step process

1

Export Taplio data

Download all published posts, drafts, and analytics. This data is not automatically transferred.

2

Identify content gaps

Perplexity lacks AI writing features. Plan how to generate content without Taplio's assistance.

3

Set up Perplexity for research

Create collections for your topics. Understand how to phrase queries for best results.

4

Integrate Perplexity research

Build a new workflow for using Perplexity's research. This could involve manual writing or a new tool.

5

Cancel Taplio subscription

Ensure all data is exported and your new workflow is stable before canceling.

Migration Warning

Your scheduled posts will stop. Any drafts you do not export are lost.

What you lose: The honest truth

Moving from Taplio means giving up dedicated LinkedIn content tools. You lose the carousel builder, direct LinkedIn scheduling, and native AI writing for LinkedIn content.

Perplexity focuses on verifiable facts. It does not offer features for content creation or distribution.

No integrated LinkedIn scheduler
No AI writing assistant for posts
No brand voice customization
No direct engagement tracking

What it costs to move: Price tiers and hidden costs

Perplexity offers a free basic tier. Paid tiers start from $0/mo. Enterprise seats are $34/mo and $271/mo, requiring an annual commitment. You might need to budget for a new LinkedIn scheduling tool.

Before you cancel: Your essential export checklist

Taplio Export Checklist

Can I run both during the switch?

Yes, you can run both Taplio and Perplexity during your transition. This adds cost, at least $49/mo for Taplio. It smooths the transition by allowing a gradual shift in workflow. A 2-4 week overlap is recommended for a stable migration.

How do I replace Taplio's AI writing?

Perplexity is a research engine, not a writing tool. Use it for fact-finding and sourcing. Then, use a separate AI writing tool or manual drafting for your LinkedIn content. Perplexity provides the verifiable data.

Research for a LinkedIn Post

Claude / GPT-4
I need to write a LinkedIn post about [TOPIC]. Provide 3-5 key statistics or verifiable facts about [TOPIC] from reputable sources. Include inline citations to the source URLs. Also, suggest one contrarian viewpoint supported by evidence.

What about LinkedIn scheduling and engagement?

You will need alternative tools for LinkedIn scheduling. Consider the native LinkedIn scheduler, Buffer, or Hootsuite. For engagement, manual interaction or LinkedIn's own features are options. Perplexity does not offer these features.
