Penlio vs AuthoredUp formatting tool meets AI
AuthoredUp is a solid formatting and analytics Chrome extension at $20/mo. Penlio does everything AuthoredUp does, adds real AI generation and voice learning, and costs $5 less.
Everything AuthoredUp does, plus actual AI generation — and $5 cheaper.
AuthoredUp is a well-designed formatting and analytics tool, but it has zero AI generation. You still have to write every word yourself. Penlio matches AuthoredUp on formatting, adds AI post generation, hook generation, and deep voice learning — and costs $15/mo instead of $20/mo. It's a full-featured content platform, not just a formatting helper.
