Taplio pricing
Taplio pricing is $39, $69 or $199 a month per account, and AI writing starts on the $69 plan. Prices exclude tax and come from taplio.com/pricing and Taplio’s plans article, October 16, 2026.
| Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly (per month) | Yearly total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $39 | $32 | $384 |
| Growth | $69 | $49 | $588 |
| Pro | $199 | $149 | $1,788 |
Starter covers the post editor, scheduling queue and calendar, the viral post library and analytics, with no AI writing and no commenting tools. Growth adds the AI writer with 250 Expert-mode credits a month (then unlimited Faster mode), 500 reply credits for comments, and Organizations for managing clients or teammates. Pro makes Expert AI and reply credits unlimited under fair use, and adds a Lead Database of 3M+ profiles you can push to lemlist. Credits renew monthly.
There’s no Enterprise plan. The help center gives 10% off each seat from 2 seats, 15% from 11 and 20% from 51, while the pricing page says teams “save up to 30%”. Discounts don’t combine; the larger one applies.
What a typical setup costs: a solo creator who wants AI drafts pays $69 a month or $588 a year. An agency running five client accounts on Growth pays $345 a month, or $310.50 with the 10% seat discount. Reviews quoting a $65 “Standard” plan are out of date.
What Taplio does
Taplio helps people post on LinkedIn regularly and turn that attention into leads. It’s a content tool first, owned by lempire, lemlist’s parent company (deal announced in January 2023).
Writing and scheduling. The AI drafts posts, hooks, carousels and rewrites, which Taplio says draw on its 5M+ viral post library and your own posts. A queue and calendar publish them, and analytics track followers, profile views and top posts.
Engaging. Reply credits pay for comments on other people’s posts. Replies to comments on your own posts are free. Taplio Boost, a free Chrome extension, suggests replies that cost AI credits.
Leads and DMs. Pro adds a database of 3M+ LinkedIn profiles, filtered by job title, industry, follower count or post topics, which you can message, connect with, export as a CSV or push to lemlist. DM campaigns can also target a contact list or people who engaged with a post. The help center caps them at 100 DMs a day and 20 invitations per working day (networking help).
For AI assistants. An MCP server (a standard way for assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to use other apps) offers 27 tools for drafting, scheduling, analytics and comments, and nothing publishes without your confirmation.
Taplio strengths and drawbacks
Strengths
- Content research. Even AuthoredUp, a competing tool, calls the 5M+ post library “genuinely useful” in its review.
- Scheduling. G2’s review summary lists post scheduling and ease of use among the pros (G2).
- Open pricing. Public prices, monthly billing, no sales call, and cancelling in the app (billing help).
- Early on MCP. Version 2.0 on September 17, 2026 took the server to 27 tools (announcement).
Drawbacks
- AI costs $69 or more. Taplio’s own review post confirms “The $39 plan has no AI”, and admits a generic topic gets “a competent, generic draft”.
- LinkedIn’s rules. LinkedIn’s User Agreement bars bots that send messages or add contacts, and Taplio’s terms leave that risk with you.
- Email lives elsewhere. Email outreach means pushing contacts into a paid lemlist plan, and Taplio lists Zapier but no native CRM integration.
- Downgrades aren’t refunded. Leftover value becomes account credit, not a card refund.
What Taplio users say
Taplio has few public reviews, so its averages say little. Trustpilot shows 3.6 from 20 reviews, split between 40% five-star and 50% one-star, as of October 16, 2026. G2 shows 4.1 from 9 reviews and Capterra 4.0 from 2 (both read from search results).
G2’s summary praises ease of use, scheduling and customer service, and an October 2026 Trustpilot reviewer wrote: “The customer service team at Taplio is amazing.”
The most common complaints, in G2’s summary and in third-party reviews, are price and AI output that reads as generic. A recurring theme in the one-star Trustpilot reviews is renewals charged without a reminder; Taplio replied to most of them, and its own review post acknowledges reviews about “forgotten renewals”. G2’s summary also lists “Outdated Design” as a con.
Who Taplio is for
Taplio fits founders, consultants and small teams for whom LinkedIn posting is the main way they get found. If you want AI drafting or commenting, Growth is the plan to look at, since both start there. Agencies that ghostwrite for clients can manage them from one account with Organizations.
Look elsewhere if outbound volume is the goal. Taplio says so itself: “If your plan is to blast 500 connection requests a day, Taplio is deliberately not your tool.” If a posting calendar is all you need, I’d stay on Starter until you know you’ll use AI drafts weekly.

Taplio: common questions
Is Taplio legit?
Yes. Taplio is a paid LinkedIn content tool run by lempire, the company behind lemlist, which announced buying it in January 2023. Ratings rest on few reviews: 3.6 on Trustpilot from 20 and 4.1 on G2 from 9, as of October 2026. LinkedIn's terms restrict automated messaging, and Taplio's terms leave that risk with the user.
How much does Taplio cost?
Taplio costs $39 a month for Starter, $69 for Growth and $199 for Pro, per account and before tax. Billed yearly, that's $32, $49 and $149 a month, or $384, $588 and $1,788 a year. Teams get 10% to 20% off per seat by size, per the help center; the pricing page says up to 30%. Prices checked on October 16, 2026.
Is Taplio free?
No. Taplio has no free plan, though its free web tools and Taplio Boost Chrome extension cost nothing. The 7-day trial unlocks Pro features. The help center says you add a payment method first and billing starts after 7 days or at the trial's AI limit, whichever comes first; the homepage says no credit card is needed to start.
Is Taplio AI free?
No. The $39 Starter plan has no AI writing at all. Growth at $69 a month includes 250 Expert-mode AI credits a month, then unlimited use of its Faster mode. Pro at $199 makes Expert mode unlimited under fair use. Taplio's standalone free tools, such as its post generator, stay free.
Can Taplio send cold emails?
No. Taplio works on LinkedIn only. It can push contacts into lemlist, its sister product, which needs its own paid plan. If email is your main channel, a cold email tool such as lemlist, Instantly or Reachkit, which is our product, handles the inboxes, sending and replies.
Taking your LinkedIn prospects to email?
Reachkit finds verified leads and sends from Google or Microsoft inboxes it sets up and warms for you. Plans start at $39 a month per workspace. Inboxes it sets up cost $5 a month each, plus $15 a year per domain.
