Yes. Taplio has a lead database, automated DMs and connection requests, tools for replying to and engaging with other people's posts, a library of 5 million+ viral posts, AI image generation, company page publishing and a free Chrome extension. Postbrander has none of those. If LinkedIn is your outbound sales channel, that matters.
Why doesn't Postbrander automate DMs or engagement?+
Postbrander is built around your own posts. LinkedIn's 2026 changes demoted engagement bait and coordinated activity, and it now lets anyone report posts as AI slop. So Postbrander puts its effort into drafts that sound like you and hold up, and leaves likes, comments and messages to you.
Can I switch from Taplio to Postbrander?+
Yes. Connect LinkedIn, add a few of your existing posts so Postbrander learns your voice, and re-create anything you had scheduled in Taplio, since scheduled posts don't move between tools. Both tools can stay connected to LinkedIn at the same time while you try them, as long as you don't schedule the same post twice.
