An Overview of Taplio

Taplio is a LinkedIn automation tool that finds viral posts across LinkedIn for you to copy.

(We wrote a whole other article on LinkedIn automation tools, if you're interested.)

If you're just interested in getting eyeballs on your posts, you might want to stick with Taplio. But consider if this will impact pipeline at all in the long run.

Key Features:

• Viral Content Suggestions: Helps you find popular posts to mimic
• Carousel Creation: Automatically creates carousels from URLs (a standout feature for Taplio)
• Engagement Automation: Generates replies and tracks who liked and commented on your posts

Limitations:

• Focus on Virality, Not on Ideal Customers: While it may create viral content, it doesn’t necessarily engage with the right audience. If this happens, you won't get buyers
• Not Grounded in Real Data: Taplio’s content often isn’t based on actual customer or industry insights. This doesn't help build credibility in the space

4 Taplio Alternatives to Consider

1. Letterdrop: LinkedIn Automation Rooted in Real Data

Letterdrop's social selling and sales enablement tooling is designed to help companies build trust and engage with their ideal customers by using real customer data and insights to inform LinkedIn content.

You can do everything natively in LinkedIn, too.

Key Features:

• Automated Employee Engagement: Streamlines team engagement by automating likes, comments, and reposts from connected accounts. This is done through an approval system
• Content from Real Data: Creates LinkedIn posts (and blog posts!) based on actual customer questions and key information from customer calls or existing content
• Secure and Compliant: It's SOC-2 compliant and uses LinkedIn’s APIs for secure data handling
• Focus on Education: Uses real data to create content that builds trust with your audience

Who Should Use Letterdrop?

If your goal is to build trust and actual pipeline, Letterdrop is the tool for you.

• Warmly built an influencer network that averages 10k impressions per post with Letterdrop (check out the Warmly case study)
• Our own BDR, Ryan Patel, increased his LinkedIn reply rate from 5% to 21.6% using our social selling and sales enablement features

2. Dux-Soup: For Automating Connections, Visits, and Messages

Dux-Soup is primarily used for scraping LinkedIn. It helps users grow their LinkedIn network and engage with prospects by automating tasks like connection requests, profile visits, and messaging.

Key Features:

• Automated Connection Requests: Sends connection requests automatically to targeted LinkedIn users
• Profile Visits: Visits profiles on your behalf to increase visibility
• Messaging Automation: Sends personalized follow-up messages to your connections

Who Should Use Dux-Soup?

Dux-Soup is great for sales professionals looking to expand their network scale quickly. However, tools like this are risky and you could get your account suspended if you're not careful.

3. AuthoredUp: Create Posts with Viral Hook Formulae

AuthoredUp is a tool for creating your LinkedIn posts that allows you to adjust for device formatting and has a library of pre-built hooks for you to use.

Key Features:

• Access a Library for Hooks and Endings: AuthoredUp pulls hooks and CTAs from popular posts that you can use to speed up your writing process
• More Options for Formatting and Scheduling: Supports bold, italic, bullet points, emojis, and GIFs in your posts, and opts you into a more intuitive scheduling system than LinkedIn
• Draft Management: Allows you to manage multiple drafts and snippets

Who Should Use AuthoredUp?

AuthoredUp allows for more customizable LinkedIn posts, and the LinkedIn hooks and ending templates can help you write quicker.

4. CommenterAI: Improve Your LinkedIn Commenting

CommenterAI is designed to help you appear active and engaged on LinkedIn to help maintain a following and boost your overall engagement.

Key Features:

• AI-Generated Comments: Automatically creates relevant comments based on the content of posts.
• Customizable Responses: Lets you adjust the comments to better fit your style.
• Efficient Engagement: Helps you stay active on LinkedIn without spending too much time.

AI-generated content (especially when it isn't rooted in fact or data) is easy to spot from a mile away, so you use this tool at your own risk.

Who Should Use CommenterAI?

If you want to enhance your commenting strategy on LinkedIn, CommenterAI can help you scale that — as long as you're committed to refining outputs to sound more human.

Make Sure Your Taplio Alternative Is Rooted in Data

There's no point pushing content on LinkedIn that could simply be copied by ChatGPT.

You want defensible content rooted in fact and proprietary data that not just anyone can copy — and that will actually resonate with your ICP.
