What AuthoredUp does well
AuthoredUp is trusted by over 2,000 companies and individuals. Its strength is the writing experience: bold, italic and lists that LinkedIn doesn’t offer, previews on desktop and mobile, a library of hooks and endings, unlimited drafts, and solid post analytics, with data hosted in Germany and no cookies collected.
If you write a lot and want your posts to look good and perform, AuthoredUp is one of the best editors for LinkedIn.
What Netwarm does differently
AuthoredUp counts your reactions and comments. Netwarm tells you who they are: every person who engaged, which ones match the clients you want, and who keeps coming back.
It tells you who is a buyer, not just who liked
You describe your ideal clients once (for example “founders of B2B companies with 10 to 200 people”). Netwarm matches everyone who engages against them by role, seniority, industry, company size and location, and sets aside the peers, students and other creators who react but rarely buy.
It shows who is warming up
Each person gets a warmth score from their last 90 days of engagement: a like counts once, a comment or a repost more. When someone keeps coming back, they turn Hot, and you get an email with a first message suggested from what they engaged with.
It tells you which posts bring clients
Reach and likes say which posts were popular. Netwarm ranks your posts and topics by the share of buyers they bring, so you can write more of what your clients respond to. See LinkedIn analytics for experts.
It never acts on LinkedIn for you
Netwarm doesn’t send messages, connection requests or comments. It doesn’t ask for your LinkedIn password or cookies: the audience scan only needs your profile URL, and scheduling goes through LinkedIn’s official sign-in. You stay in control of every conversation.
The scheduler is free
Scheduling your LinkedIn posts is free and unlimited on Netwarm, with images, video and PDF carousels. See the free LinkedIn post scheduler.
