Comparison
Kadenza compared with AuthoredUp
Prices and features checked on September 24, 2026.
Where AuthoredUp wins
AuthoredUp goes deeper on your own LinkedIn numbers than most tools do. It tracks saves, sends and profile views, breaks down every post, draws a word cloud of your own writing and tracks your goals, and a solo plan starts at $19.95 a month.
Pick that instead if LinkedIn is your only platform, you like writing your own posts, and what you want most is a clear read on how each one did.
AuthoredUp is a LinkedIn tool for people who write their own posts. It has an editor with formatting, a library of a hundred and fifty hooks and snippets, over a hundred call to action templates, a readability check, and a calendar that posts straight to LinkedIn.
Where it's strong
The numbers are the reason people pick it. You can see how each post did, filter your history, watch your followers grow and get a best time to post. It also says plainly that your data is kept in the EU under GDPR, and it has a Chrome extension.
Where Kadenza fits
Kadenza puts your posts next to the people ahead of you on LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube, so you can see which of their posts beat their own usual. Your guides turn interested people into names and emails, and you can run the whole thing from your own Claude or ChatGPT.
The honest trade
If a close read on your own LinkedIn posts is the whole job, AuthoredUp does that for a lot less money. Kadenza is $117 a month or $840 a year, and the difference buys you a view of your market and a way to turn attention into leads. See the pricing section.
