Bottom line
LinkedIn post scheduling is the pick for LinkedIn-only users who just want to queue the occasional post, and it's the only one of the two with a free scheduling plan. Birdeye fits multi-location brands managing reviews, listings and social better, and it reaches Facebook and Instagram among others, which LinkedIn post scheduling doesn't.
A verified price comparison requires the same billing term, currency and eligible workload. See each pricing section for the published terms. Birdeye adds a social inbox that LinkedIn post scheduling leaves out.
