The migration: Step-by-step to Publer

1

Review current Taplio scheduled posts.

Note down any recurring content or drafts. These will not transfer directly.

2

Set up Publer account and connect LinkedIn.

Start with the free tier to test. Your Taplio content is still active.

3

Recreate active campaigns in Publer.

Manually copy and paste post content. This is where you lose direct AI generation.

4

Cancel Taplio subscription.

Do this only after Publer scheduling is confirmed working. You lose access to Taplio's post library.

What you lose when you move to Publer

No dedicated LinkedIn AI ghostwriter.
Less polished UI for LinkedIn-specific workflows.
Basic analytics compared to Taplio's LinkedIn focus.
Smaller community for LinkedIn content tips.

You give up Taplio's highly specialized LinkedIn AI and content inspiration. Publer supports LinkedIn, but it's a generalist tool, not a specialist.

What it costs to move (beyond the subscription)

Taplio starts at $49/mo. Publer offers a free tier for up to 3 social accounts, with paid plans starting at $10/mo. The actual cost to switch includes several hours of your time.
