Postiv is the closest thing this category has to our worldview: official API, no browser extension, and content that tries to start from more than a voice clone. The differences are the price, where approval lives, and what counts as company context. Here is the whole picture, including where they are simply better.
| Helio Posts | Postiv | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £18 a month, everything included | $49.50 a month solo billed annually (about double billed monthly, per their own 50% label); $159 a month for 3 seats, annual |
| Approval workflow | Included: one tap from your inbox | Team plan and above only; solo users have no approval flow |
| What it writes from | A crawl of your company site plus a brand brief on what you argue and what must never be claimed | Their assistant Bob drafts from your past posts' analytics and PDFs you upload |
| Formats | Post, article and carousel from one brief | Posts, carousels and images on all plans; carousel design is their strength |
| How it connects | No extension, nothing touches your session; drafts arrive by email | Official LinkedIn API; their words: no dodgy Chrome extension |
| Publishing today | A finished, approved post you publish in one click; direct publishing waits on the official API access we are applying for | Publishes on schedule |
Postiv details checked on their public pages, 28 August 2026. They ship changes without telling us; if a cell has gone stale, tell us and we will fix it. Our column only states what the product does today, including what it does not do yet.
Postiv's carousel and design experience is the strongest we found in the category, they publish directly today, and their agency tier (separate white-labelled workspace per client) is built out properly. An agency running many pages, or a founder who lives on carousels, has real reasons to pick them, and their PDF upload gets closer to company background than any voice clone.
Postiv starts from your past posts and whatever documents you remember to upload. Helio Posts starts from your live website and a brand brief that captures what you argue and what must never be claimed, so the first draft knows the business before you have taught it anything. And approval is not a team feature at triple the price: it is one tap from the inbox, at £18.
The full comparison covers schedulers, browser extensions and voice-clone writers in one place, or go straight to vs Supergrow, vs Scripe, vs Taplio, vs Hypefury and vs Typefully.
We'll set up a workspace, load your voice, and show you the first week of drafts, for your own company or a client. If the drafts aren't good enough, that is the fastest possible way to find out.
