LinkedIn post scheduling vs Postr
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.
