AuthoredUp: LinkedIn post analytics and formatting for creators

AuthoredUp Freemium Beginner

Founders guess at what worked because LinkedIn's own numbers are thin and vanish quickly. AuthoredUp keeps a history of your posts and shows impressions, engagement, and which hooks and formats actually landed, so you can stop posting on vibes and repeat what works. We picked it over the better known Shield on purpose, since Shield is winding down after platform data limits, whereas AuthoredUp is live, has a free tier, and doubles as a writing and formatting editor.

• It archives your post history and surfaces per post impressions and engagement, so you can see patterns instead of guessing.
• Hook and readability analysis tell you why a post landed or flopped, which is where most beginners are flying blind.
• There is a free tier to start, and it combines analytics with a formatting editor so drafting and measuring live in one place.
