If you want an alternative to LinkedIn's Enhance Post button, you have four real options: prompt a general chatbot (ChatGPT/Claude) with a ban list, use a free browser rewriter (EnhancePost, MyFeedIn's Post Booster), pay for a full LinkedIn platform with AI writing (Taplio), or skip AI rewriting and use a formatting/preview tool (AuthoredUp). Which one fits depends on whether your problem is the writing, the workflow, or the formatting. Full disclosure: we make EnhancePost. Here's the honest breakdown, including where the others win.
Quick comparison
| Tool | What it is | Free? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn Enhance Post | One-click AI rewrite in the composer | Mostly tied to Premium; uneven rollout | Quick grammar cleanup if you already pay for Premium |
| ChatGPT / Claude | General chatbot, rewrite via prompt | Free tiers exist | Full control if you write a careful prompt and edit after |
| EnhancePost | Goal-based rewriter + live slop detector | Free, no signup (open beta, daily-capped) | De-slopping a draft without losing your facts or voice |
| MyFeedIn Post Booster | Free one-shot post rewriter | Free, no signup | A fast generic boost pass |
| Taplio | Full LinkedIn platform: AI writing, scheduling, CRM, analytics | Paid; trial available | Creators posting daily who want the whole workflow |
| AuthoredUp | Formatting, preview, and analytics layer — you write the words | Paid; trial available | Structure and readability without any AI text |
ChatGPT or Claude with a ban-list prompt
The most flexible option, and free. The catch: models drift back to their default style, sometimes invent details you didn't supply, and know nothing about LinkedIn's ~60-character hook fold or 3,000-character limit. Give it your raw facts, one goal, and an explicit ban list ("no em dashes, no 'thrilled to announce', no invented numbers"), then edit the output — the five-step fix covers exactly that edit.
MyFeedIn's LinkedIn Post Booster
A genuinely free, no-signup rewriter: paste a post, get a boosted version — stronger hook, tighter structure, a call to action. It's a single generic pass rather than a goal you choose, so it shares some of the Enhance button's one-size-fits-all character, but the price is right and it works in the browser.
Taplio
Not really a button alternative — it's a full LinkedIn operating system: AI drafting (including drafts in your voice from past posts), scheduling, analytics, and a lead CRM. If you post daily and treat LinkedIn as a channel, the bundle can be worth paying for. If you just want one draft de-slopped, it's a lot of product for the job.
AuthoredUp
The opposite philosophy: no AI writing at all. It's a formatting, preview, and analytics layer in the LinkedIn editor — bold/italic formatting, hook preview before the fold, readability stats, snippets. If your drafts are good and your problem is structure and presentation, this is arguably the safest choice, because nothing synthetic ever enters your text.
EnhancePost (ours)
Built for one specific gap: rewriting without the AI fingerprint. You pick a goal — stronger hook, shorter, more professional, story structure, or "just de-slop" — the known tells (this list) are banned outright, facts are never invented, and live counters track the character limit and hook length per platform (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Reddit, Facebook). A slop detector underlines issues as you type, with one-click fixes, so you can also use it without the AI rewrite at all. Free, no signup, daily-capped beta. What it doesn't do: scheduling, analytics, idea generation — the Taplio side of the world.
Which should you pick?
- Your drafts sound like AI → EnhancePost (de-slop goal) or ChatGPT with a strict ban-list prompt.
- You need the whole posting workflow → Taplio.
- Your writing is fine, formatting isn't → AuthoredUp.
- You want one free generic boost → MyFeedIn's Post Booster or EnhancePost.
- You have Premium and just want grammar fixed → the Enhance button is fine — but know what it adds.
Whichever you choose, the last step is always yours: add one detail only you could know. No tool on this list can do that, and it's the thing readers check when deciding whether a human wrote your post.
