Instation

Instation is an AI tool for building a LinkedIn presence. It brings content creation, visuals, scheduling, analytics and profile improvement together in one place for professionals who want to post consistently. It is free to start, with no credit card required.

Writer's block

An AI post generator offers multiple input methods, so you can begin from an idea, a topic or existing material. Professional templates are designed with LinkedIn in mind, topic suggestions are based on trending industry conversations, and you can create carousel and visual content.

Saving time

Instation aims to stop users spending hours on a single post. It offers a combined workflow for creating and scheduling content, analytics on optimal posting times to guide your schedule, and a content library for repurposing and iterating on earlier posts instead of starting from scratch.

Insights and direction

To help you understand what works, Instation offers access to viral LinkedIn posts for inspiration, analysis of trending influencers, a trends and news finder to stay relevant, and a topic generator for content ideas.

Profile and branding

Instation also tackles weak profiles, such as a generic headline or an About section that doesn't show your value, with tools for improving your profile and branding. The site also lists engagement and networking as a challenge it addresses.

Free tools and pricing

Separate free tools are available on the site, along with a blog. You can get started for free, and a pricing page lists paid plans.

Who it suits

It suits professionals, founders, consultants and job seekers who want to post on LinkedIn regularly without spending hours on each post.

Things to consider

LinkedIn audiences notice generic AI-written posts, so edit drafts to add your own experience and voice. Check LinkedIn's terms on automation and scheduling tools before connecting your account. Copying viral posts too closely can hurt credibility, so use them for structure and ideas rather than wording.

The pricing page lists three plans. Free includes 10 monthly credits with the post generator, topic generator, AI images, GIFs, carousels, banner designer, basic analytics and a profile score. Pro, for individuals, costs $15 a month billed annually ($180 a year) with 150 credits, viral posts, trending influencers, trends, engagement lists for three profiles and full analytics. Business costs $29 a month billed annually ($350 a year) with unlimited credits. A post costs one credit and a carousel two. There is a 7-day money-back guarantee, and you can cancel at any time. A banner designer and About section analyzer support profile work.
