# #5 Taplio

Taplio is an AI tool for LinkedIn that helps users write and schedule posts, find posts to engage with, and track post and follower analytics. Website: taplio.com. Category: [LinkedIn Outreach](https://gtmranked.com/best/linkedin-automation/). Score 39/100 (8 positive, 2 mixed, 4 negative of 14 independent comments).

**Verdict:** Most of the discussion is promotional: about two thirds of the 100 comments are marketing, including dozens that plug a Reddit-monitoring tool next to Taplio and a cluster from April to July 2026 in which many accounts repeat the same Taplio talking points (curated commenting feed, engagement builder, lead database) in near-identical wording, some posted twice verbatim. The 14 non-promotional opinions, mostly brief, credit its viral-post research and having LinkedIn drafting and scheduling in one place. Critics call it pricey for what it delivers, say an early engagement bump faded, and warn that LinkedIn penalizes accounts using third-party tools like it.
