Bottom line
LinkedIn post scheduling is the pick for LinkedIn-only users who just want to queue the occasional post. CoSchedule fits teams coordinating editorial campaigns and social promotion better, and it reaches Facebook and Instagram among others, which LinkedIn post scheduling doesn't.
CoSchedule has a free plan and paid plans from $29 a month, billed yearly, and LinkedIn post scheduling is free, with no paid plan. CoSchedule adds evergreen recycling and bulk upload that LinkedIn post scheduling leaves out.
