Head to head
LinkedIn post scheduling vs MavSocial
Last updated 4 June 2026
LinkedIn now lets you schedule posts natively, free, from the post composer. It's the simplest way to queue a LinkedIn post in advance, and it does nothing beyond that, no calendar, no bulk scheduling, no editing a post once it's scheduled.

- Custom
- Free plan
MavSocial pairs scheduling with unusually strong digital asset management, including a built-in stock photo library, plus a social inbox and approval workflows. The catch is the network list: it covers the big names but skips TikTok and Pinterest.

- $24 /mo
- Free plan
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 plan. MavSocial fits teams that want strong digital asset management built into the scheduler better, and it's the cheaper start, from $24 a month.
MavSocial publishes a price, from $24 a month; LinkedIn post scheduling is quote-only. MavSocial adds bulk upload and advanced reports that LinkedIn post scheduling leaves out.
