If you have been paying $59.99 a month for EasyGen just to write LinkedIn text posts, you have already noticed the gap. EasyGen does one thing, and that one thing has competition that costs less, sounds more like you, and covers the rest of your LinkedIn workflow. This is a working operator's guide to picking a better tool, with a side-by-side comparison and real test of LiGo as the alternative.
This is for solopreneurs, founders, agency owners, and freelancers who use LinkedIn for pipeline and need a post generator that earns its monthly bill.
Key takeaways
- EasyGen costs $59.99 per month and is locked to LinkedIn text posts only. No carousels, no analytics, no scheduling.
- LiGo's Starter plan is $9 per month. The trial is 100 free credits, enough to test for about 7 to 14 days, with no credit card.
- The biggest functional gap is voice fidelity. LiGo trains a per-profile voice model (LiGo Brain) on your real posts. EasyGen learns tone preferences inside a session.
- LiGo bundles the post generator with 7 live AI agents (Post Lab), comment generation, a Chrome extension, analytics, and scheduling. EasyGen is standalone.
- If you do agency work, run multiple client profiles, or repurpose long-form content, EasyGen will keep forcing you back to other tools. LiGo is built for that workflow end to end.
Why people start looking for an EasyGen alternative
EasyGen was built by Ruben Hassid, a strong LinkedIn creator, and the product reflects his bet that "AI that writes the way you actually speak" is enough on its own. For a creator publishing one or two text posts a day, that bet sometimes holds. For most of the people reading this blog, it does not, because the work around the post is where the time goes.
Three patterns show up in the search results for "easygen alternative" and in conversations with people who try the tool:
- Price-to-output mismatch. $59.99 per month is real money for a single-feature tool. The same budget covers a richer toolchain elsewhere.
- No carousels and no document posts. Carousels are the highest-performing content format on LinkedIn right now, and EasyGen cannot create them. You end up with a second tool for slides and a third for scheduling.
- Voice that drifts. EasyGen lets you set tone preferences and dictate notes by voice, but it does not learn from a corpus of your own past posts the way a voice-trained model does. The output starts on tone and drifts toward generic over time.
That third one is the real reason this article exists. If you are paying for AI to write your posts, the only thing the tool owes you is voice fidelity. Everything else is shopping for features.
EasyGen vs LiGo: the side-by-side
I built LiGo because I wanted one tool that did the whole LinkedIn job well, not five tools stitched together. Here is the honest comparison. Every number was checked against the live EasyGen site and the LiGo codebase in May 2026. Pricing changes, so re-verify on the day you decide.
The table below shows how the two products line up across the features that actually matter when you are deciding what to pay for each month.
| Capability | EasyGen | LiGo |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $59.99 / month | $9 / month (Starter), $29 Standard, $49 Growth, $76 Pro |
| Free trial | 3 free posts | 100 credits, about 7 to 14 days, no credit card |
| Voice training | Tone preferences, voice notes for context | LiGo Brain trains on your actual past posts per profile |
| AI agents | None | 7 live agents in Post Lab |
| Long-form repurposing | Not built in | Content Atomizer agent turns blogs, podcasts, YouTube into posts |
| Carousel / document posts | Not supported | Format guides and planning, plus a text formatter |
| Comment generation | Not supported | Built in via Chrome extension and a free comment generator |
| Analytics | None | Built-in analytics you can chat with |
| Scheduling | Calendar for planning, no auto-post | Schedule and publish via LinkedIn's official OAuth API |
| Integrations | Standalone | Zapier, Make, Pabbly, Claude (MCP), ChatGPT |
| Agency / multi-client | Single workspace | Independent per-client voice and billing, no cross-contamination |
| Platform | LinkedIn only | LinkedIn only, purpose-built |
The "LinkedIn only" line is worth pulling out. Both tools choose LinkedIn over multi-platform, which is the right call for this audience. The split is in what "LinkedIn only" means: EasyGen reads it as "text posts only," LiGo reads it as "the full LinkedIn workflow, but no Twitter and no Instagram."
Where EasyGen actually wins
A fair comparison says so. EasyGen is a clean product with a few things going for it. Use these as a sanity check on the decision, not as a reason to pay $59.99 if they do not match how you work.
- Single-creator workflow with a clean UI. If you publish one text post a day and never touch carousels, comments, or scheduling, EasyGen feels light and uncluttered. There is less to learn.
- Founder credibility. Ruben Hassid has 100M plus views and the product is built on patterns he has actually used. That credibility is real and worth something.
- Voice notes for ideas. Dictating a rough idea and getting a draft back is a nice ergonomic for capture. Several tools have this now, but EasyGen ships it as a primary path.
If you publish one short text post a day, do not run an agency, and never repurpose long-form content, the tool fits. For most other workflows in this blog's audience, the gaps below outweigh those wins.
The five gaps that send people looking for an alternative
These are the specific things I hear when someone tells me they want to switch. Each one shows up as a high-volume sibling query around "easygen alternative" in search.
1. No carousels and no document posts
LinkedIn document posts (PDFs uploaded as a carousel) consistently get higher dwell time than text posts in 2026. EasyGen does not generate them. You end up paying separately for a carousel tool, or skipping the format entirely. If your audience responds to carousels, this is a deal breaker on its own.
2. Voice that does not learn from your posts
Tone preferences and one or two example messages are not the same thing as training on your actual writing. The first reads as "adjust the sliders." The second reads as "the model knows your nouns, your sentence rhythm, and the four hobby horses you keep riding." Over a month of daily posting, the second wins. LiGo Brain trains on your imported and ongoing posts so the model learns your voice and keeps improving every time you edit.
3. No comment workflow
The math on LinkedIn growth for solopreneurs and agencies looks like roughly 80 percent strategic commenting and 20 percent original posting. A five-minute comment on a high-reach post can pull a substantial share of the impressions a 60 to 90 minute original post would, and it lands on someone else's already-warmed audience. EasyGen has no comment workflow at all. Anyone serious about pipeline ends up on a second tool for comments. LiGo bundles both.
4. No scheduling and no analytics
EasyGen has a calendar view for planning but no auto-publish, so you copy and paste each post into LinkedIn. There are no analytics inside the tool either, so you pivot to LinkedIn's native screen to check what worked. For a daily workflow, those two omissions are expensive over a month.
5. Solo-only, no multi-client structure
If you run an agency or manage two or three personal brands (your own plus a co-founder, say), EasyGen has no multi-client model. Each brand becomes its own account, its own subscription, and its own login. LiGo treats each client profile as an independent voice with its own training and its own billing, designed for agencies running 5 or 50 clients without one brand bleeding into another.
What I built LiGo to do that EasyGen does not
LiGo started as a comment generator inside a Chrome extension because I kept seeing solopreneurs and founders skip the comments and lose all the compounding. From there, the product grew into Post Lab (the AI agents), LiGo Brain (the voice model), and the integrations layer. The pitch is simple: one tool for the whole LinkedIn job, not five.
The three pieces that matter most for someone replacing EasyGen are below.
Post Lab and its 7 live AI agents. Each agent is built for a specific job. Viral Post Generator builds posts for reach. Brand Builder posts consistently on your core topics. Content Atomizer turns a long-form piece (blog, podcast, YouTube video, meeting notes) into a series of standalone posts, each a different insight with its own hook. Funnel Architect designs a 5 to 7 post campaign over about two weeks around an offer you want to test. Repurpose Radar surfaces your old posts that performed above average and re-angles them. Opinion Miner scans your stored opinions for contrarian takes and turns the best into posts. Trending Topic Scout watches Reddit, Hacker News, and X for debates in your niche. Each agent runs in Manual, Co-Pilot, or Autopilot mode (Autopilot defaults to drafts; you can enable scheduling/publishing if you want hands-off). EasyGen has no agent layer at all.
LiGo Brain. This is the voice/memory layer. You train it by connecting LinkedIn or uploading past posts. It learns your tone, topics, and stored stances, and improves every time you edit a draft. Every generated post and comment is written through that model. For agencies, each client profile has its own independent Brain (no cross-contamination), so a VA can produce content that still sounds like the client. That is the part EasyGen's "tone preferences" cannot replicate.
Comments, analytics, scheduling in one place. The LiGo Chrome extension comments inside LinkedIn (no copy-paste). Analytics live inside LiGo (you can chat with the numbers). Scheduling goes out via LinkedIn's official OAuth API. None of these are sold as extras; they come with the product. Anyone moving from EasyGen consolidates two or three tools into one.
What to ask yourself before switching
Tool changes look smaller than they are. The right way to decide is to answer four questions honestly. If three of the four point the same direction, the answer is clear.
- How much of your week goes into commenting vs posting? If it is more than a third, EasyGen is not enough.
- Are carousels or document posts in your mix? If yes, EasyGen blocks you. You need the second tool anyway.
- Do you (or your VA) write for multiple personal brands? If yes, LiGo's per-profile voice was built for this. EasyGen is single-account.
- What is $50 per month worth to you in tools you actually use? $9 to $49 buys the full LiGo stack on the right plan. $59.99 buys EasyGen alone. If you want to consolidate, the math is fast.
If you publish a daily text post, never carousel, never comment strategically, and never delegate, EasyGen is fine. If even one of those is wrong, the bill stops making sense.
How to try LiGo this week (without committing)
The trial is 100 free credits, no credit card, enough to test for about 7 to 14 days depending on usage. That window is enough to do a real comparison test, not a demo:
- Sign up and connect your LinkedIn account.
- Train LiGo Brain on your last 30 to 50 posts (bulk import). It takes a few minutes; the model needs your actual writing, not a 200-word style note.
- Generate 5 posts on the topics you have lined up this week. Generate them in Post Lab, not just the free post generator, so you see the agent layer.
- Use the Chrome extension to comment on 20 posts in your feed across two sessions. Time it.
- Schedule the posts you like and let LiGo publish via the official LinkedIn API.
A week of that side by side with whatever EasyGen produced last month is the answer. If LiGo wins on voice and saves time on the surrounding work, switch. If not, you have given it a fair test and you keep paying $59.99 for a tool you actually use.
If you only want to try the post writing on its own first, the free LinkedIn Post Generator gives a few drafts per day with no signup.
FAQ
Is EasyGen worth $59.99 per month?
It is worth it if you publish daily text posts, do not need carousels, do not run multi-client workflows, and do not want to use one tool for comments, analytics, and scheduling. For most LinkedIn workflows in our audience, that combination is rare, and a single-feature tool at $59.99 is hard to justify against alternatives that bundle more for less.
Does LiGo work for LinkedIn agencies?
Yes, that is the use case it was designed around. Each client profile has independent voice training and its own billing, with no cross-contamination between profiles. A VA or team member can produce content that still sounds like the client owner because LiGo Brain encodes the voice. See LiGo for agency owners for the full setup.
Can LiGo generate carousels and document posts?
LiGo focuses on text post generation and the planning/format side of carousels rather than rendering the slides themselves. For dimensions, formats, and best practices on carousels and document posts, the LinkedIn carousel post size guide covers the specs.
How does voice training in LiGo differ from EasyGen?
LiGo Brain trains a per-profile voice model on your actual past posts and keeps learning from every post you create or edit. EasyGen captures tone preferences and lets you dictate context with voice notes, but it does not maintain a model trained on your writing corpus. Over weeks of daily posting, the trained model wins on consistency.
What is the LiGo free trial?
100 free credits, no credit card, enough for about 7 to 14 days of testing depending on intensity. After the trial you choose a plan. The Starter plan starts at $9 per month; see /pricing for current pricing.
Does LiGo replace my scheduler?
Yes. LiGo schedules and publishes via LinkedIn's official OAuth API, so you do not need a separate scheduler for LinkedIn posts. You also keep manual review by default; direct publishing is opt-in if you want hands-off operation.
Will switching from EasyGen lose my draft history?
EasyGen does not export drafts in a standardized format right now, so plan to copy any drafts worth keeping into a doc before you cancel. Once you connect LinkedIn to LiGo, the Brain trains on your published posts directly, so your voice signal carries over even if your unpublished drafts do not.
The bottom line
EasyGen is a clean single-feature product with a fair pitch and an unfair price for what is on offer. If you publish daily text posts and do nothing else around LinkedIn, it works. If you want one tool for posts, comments, repurposing, scheduling, analytics, and agency multi-client work, you are in the wrong tool. LiGo was built for the second case. Start with the 100-credit trial and run a week of real work through it. Then decide on the data.
