MagicPost is a tidy, affordable AI post generator with a strong focus on formatting and post previews. InGrow overlaps on AI writing but goes further on automation: it researches your niche from the web, drafts in your voice from your past posts, and auto-publishes through LinkedIn's official API. Both are budget-friendly; the question is how much of the loop you want automated.

The pricing math
MagicPost starts around $12/mo (check their site for current pricing) — roughly $144/year. InGrow Pro is $3/month (founding price) = $36/year — or $29/year billed annually. That's a difference of about $108 a year — a few months of a gym membership. Neither number makes one tool "better" — but if the features you actually use overlap, the cheaper one wins by default.
Credit where due
MagicPost puts real care into how posts look — previews and clean formatting are a genuine strength InGrow doesn't match.
It's a small, focused generator with little to learn. If you just want good drafts fast, that simplicity is a feature.
Among the well-known LinkedIn AI tools, MagicPost is one of the cheaper options — the gap to InGrow is smaller than with most competitors.
The other side
Every niche you add gets researched from the web before drafting, so posts are grounded in fresh, specific angles — not a static idea library.
You set tone, length, language and paste past posts as voice examples. Drafts are written to sound like you, not like generic AI.
Publishing runs on LinkedIn's official API with permissions you grant. No browser bots, no password sharing, no terms-of-service gray zone.
Review and edit every draft in a queue, or switch on full auto-publish once you trust the output. You stay in control either way.
Pro is $3/month at the founding price (regular price will be $9/month), and the free plan includes 7 AI posts every month with no credit card.
