The deep dive

Two tools, two different jobs.

Supergrow is built for one person writing better posts, and it is good at that. Carousify is built for agencies with a focus mostly on growth and automation.

Difference 01

One profile, or
every account you run.

Taplio is built for the person, Carousify for the agencies.

Taplio links one LinkedIn profile to one Taplio account, and every extra profile joins as another seat on the same plan, billed through the owner. Carousify lets you connect three accounts on its entry plan and 25 on its business plan. Additionally, the business plan supports up to 10 workspaces, allowing each client to have their own workspace, brand kit, and calendar.

Difference 02

Carousels included,
not paid for in credits.

Both make carousels, but only one of them charges AI credits for it.

Taplio auto-generates a carousel from your post, but it spends AI credits, so the $39 Starter plan cannot make one and Growth gives you 250 credits a month shared with every other AI feature. Carousify generates carousels on every plan, lets you edit any slide afterwards, and the 50+ templates help you start fast.

Difference 03

One feed, or

Your audience is not only on LinkedIn.

Taplio publishes to LinkedIn and nothing else. Carousify posts to LinkedIn and Instagram from every account you have connected, reports the reach for each, and shortens your links so you can see which post and platform has actually sent someone to your site.

Smart Carousels: Fast, Stunning, and Super Efficient for Linkedin Content Creation

The Smart Carousels feature is really good. Generating carousels is fast, and the content and graphics look great. It makes creating posts efficient and visually appealing.

However, there is an issue with editing captions. It’s difficult to edit the end of the caption because the editor doesn’t show the position of the text properly. This makes it hard to see where you are typing or what part of the caption you are editing, which can be frustrating.

I also have a question about storage. After reaching 10GB of data, what happens? Do we need to delete old posts to free up space, or is there some other way to manage storage? It would be helpful to know how this works.

Overall, I really like using it and would rate it 5 out of 5. It’s a great tool that makes creating content easier and faster.

Found exactly what I needed at the right time

Bought this mainly because I wanted to take my brand on LinkedIn more seriously and stop putting it off. Connected my profile through the official LinkedIn flow — no password handover, which is the bit that made me trust it over a couple of cheaper tools I’d looked at, and I’m glad I found one with an LTD here. And so far it’s good.

Loved the features and the templates most importantly unique and professional which feels more fresh.

Picked this up 2 days ago, not sure what to expect, because most LinkedIn carousel tools I’ve tried either look pretty but the AI is weak, or the AI is decent but the carousels come out generic. Carousify actually does both okay. The customizable carousel feature is solid compared to other and it solved most of my problems. Editor is clean, drag-and-drop is good but too many options, and brandkit feature looks decent.

The only thing I’d love to see is a few more minimal templates, as some of the current ones are a bit too colorful for my feed. That said, for a lifetime price, it’s already well worth it.

Best Growth Tool Ever

I was surprised by the features this tool has to offer. AppSumo perhaps misunderstood the tool, as they seem to be focusing on carousels only. The tool is more than that–it’s a complete growth tool for LinkedIn.

I talked with the team, and they told me they are also working to add Instagram and Threads this week, making it more than just LinkedIn and more like a social media growth platform.

I’m glad I picked this up. I will wait for all the exciting features that are yet to be added to it.

Glad I picked this up

Picked this up yesterday and the auto-plug feature is the bit that sold me. Queued my first post for 9:15am tomorrow and set a follow up comment with my newsletter link to drop 15 minutes after it goes live — so the first hour reach is not getting pushed down by the link sitting inside the post itself. Had been posting on LinkedIn by hand for about a year and was not really looking for a tool, but the way schedule and auto-plug sit together in one Publish dialog is what made me try it.

Editor is simple and the LinkedIn preview shows the post the same way it goes out, which most tools get wrong. Only thing I’d want is a 45 minute delay option, right now it jumps from 30 minutes straight to 1 hour. Tier 1 is enough for me since I only post from my personal profile, but I’ll upgrade if I need it for pages later.

Great app, very well designed.

Excited to keep using it and see how much it helps my content creation.

Best Carousel creator

I’ve tried a lot of carousel tools, but Carousify genuinely the best I have ever used. The templates are clean and professional, so I can put together eye-catching carousels in minutes. What I loved most was its customization. I can customize everything I need, like colors, layout, and copy are all easy to tweak to match my brand.

As someone who uses LinkedIn heavily, saving time matters. It’s been just a day I am using it, but I can say the tool looks promising. I can now create high-performing posts fast. I would also like to mention that founders support has been responsive and helpful.

I think I will use it on a daily basis. Totally recommended tool, worth every penny.

After Trying Multiple Tools, Carousify Stood Out

I’ve been using Carousify for more than six months, and it’s now part of my weekly routine. I tested a few carousel tools before this, and they all had the same issue: either they looked good but the AI was weak, or the AI worked well but every carousel looked the same.

But Carousify got both right. Highly recommended!

Carousify vs Taplio
Questions, Answered

The most common questions people ask when choosing between Carousify and Taplio.

What is the best Taplio alternative?

Carousify is a strong Taplio alternative for creators and agencies who want carousels and both LinkedIn and Instagram.

Is Carousify cheaper than Taplio?

Yes. Carousify starts at $14.99/month with AI carousels and posts included. Taplio starts at $39/month, but that Starter plan has no AI — its cheapest AI-enabled plan (Growth) is $69/month. Carousify also offers purchasing-power-parity pricing in most countries, which Taplio does not.
