# I Tried EasyGen vs Kleo: Features, Pricing, Cons, Which Is Better (2026)?

> EasyGen is cheaper and you can try it first. Kleo is the better-built tool but costs $99 with no trial. Both make you sound like AI slop.

**By Aitijya Sarkar** - Published 2026-07-21 - Updated 2026-08-12 - 10 min read

I've spent close to six years ghostwriting LinkedIn content for 50-odd founders, coaches, consultants and CXOs — something north of 100 million organic views between them — so I've run tools like these two across dozens of client accounts before forming an opinion on either.

Between EasyGen and Kleo, EasyGen is the one I'd point most people to first in 2026, but only just, and only because it's cheaper and you can actually try it before you pay. EasyGen runs $59.99/mo and gives you three free posts plus a 7-day trial.

Kleo is the better-built product: a full-stack LinkedIn workspace with a strong writing surface, a knowledge base, a swipe file, and publishing that runs on LinkedIn's official APIs. It also costs $99/mo flat with no free trial at all, so you're paying before you've written a word in it. If you want fast viral-format content and you don't mind paying to find out whether it fits, Kleo is the more capable tool and wins that round.

They share a trap, though: EasyGen force-feeds an expired 2020 broetry playbook, Kleo tunes everything toward whatever's going viral, and neither one carries your feedback between sessions or grounds a draft in your actual POV — both just hand you AI slop. So if you want posts grounded in who you are, I'd point you at Oiti, the AI clone for LinkedIn content.

## EasyGen vs Kleo at a glance

|  | EasyGen | Kleo | Oiti — AI clone for LinkedIn content (my pick) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Best for | Cheapest, fastest prompt-to-text-post | Full-stack viral-format content, one account | Posts grounded in your own POV, not AI slop |
| Starting price | $59.99/mo ($599.88/yr) | $99/mo ($999/yr) | $49/mo Creator - $79/mo Pro |
| Real price after trial | $59.99 | $99 (no trial — pay upfront) | $49 / $79 |
| Free trial | 3 free posts, then 7-day | None — pay $99 blind | 7-day |
| LinkedIn's terms of service | Never connects to LinkedIn (copy-paste only) | Yes — official LinkedIn APIs; extension only saves posts | Yes — official LinkedIn API |
| Standout strength | Fastest cheap prompt-to-draft | Better-built, full-stack + strong viral output | Long-term memory + Knowledge Base |
| Biggest weakness | Generic 2020 broetry, text-only | Viral bias flattens originality; no long-term memory; $99 no trial | Not a viral/growth-hack machine by design |
| Overall winner | ✓ (narrow — cheaper + you can try it) | — | — (parallel pick, not the referee) |

Prices captured May 2026: EasyGen $59.99/mo - $599.88/yr; Kleo $99/mo - $999/yr. Two numbers do most of the work here — $59.99 vs $99, and a 7-day trial vs none.

## How I Tested EasyGen v/s Kleo - My Testing Methodology

I tried both tools on both client accounts and my own. I tried EasyGen last year, in 2025 — onboarded, generated real posts against a live topic, read what came back, and watched the setup break on the way in (more on that below).

With Kleo I was an early adopter of the relaunched full-stack tool, and I'd used the original Chrome extension before LinkedIn forced it offline, so I've seen both Kleo eras.

Four axes separate these two, and I weighed one above the rest: whether the output is grounded in a real person's POV, or just AI slop pulled toward a viral template.

1. **Price and evaluability** — What each costs, and whether you can test it before you pay.
2. **Breadth** — How much tool you actually get for the money.
3. **AI content quality** — Whether the writing is anything you'd ship without a heavy rewrite.
4. **LinkedIn's terms of service** — Whether either one can get your account flagged.

## What Is EasyGen - the Tool to Write LinkedIn Posts Like Creators With 100M+ Views?

EasyGen's pitch is right on the homepage: "Write LinkedIn posts like creators with 100M+ views." It's built by Ruben Hassid, and when I jumped in it was exactly what it says — a single-purpose text-post generator. Type a topic, get a draft, ship it.

There's a "Trending" feed and a "Track Creators" list that surface high-performing posts from people you follow, plus a My Posts library and a basic content calendar. That's the whole thing. Text posts only: no carousels, no analytics depth, no memory layer.

![EasyGen homepage: "Write LinkedIn posts like creators with 100M+ views," a "Start 7-day trial" button, "10,000+ people already joined Easygen," and a product mockup showing the left-nav (Generate Post, My Posts, Trending, Creators List, Creator engagement, Saved Posts, Calendar).](/comparisons/competitors/easygen/homepage.webp) — EasyGen's homepage — "Write LinkedIn posts like creators with 100M+ views," a single-purpose text-post generator.

## What Is Kleo - and How Does It Help You Create Viral LinkedIn Content Fast?

Kleo is a full-stack LinkedIn content workspace, relaunched after LinkedIn forced its 70,000-user Chrome extension offline. Where EasyGen is a form, Kleo opens like ChatGPT — a composer asking "What are we creating today?" — with a Swipe File of high-performing posts, a Knowledge base and an Identity layer that store who you are, one-click graphics and carousels, and a scheduler that publishes through LinkedIn's official APIs.

The whole tool is tuned for viral formats, fast, and it doesn't hide it.

![Kleo's main screen: left nav (Chat, Posts, Schedule, Swipe file, Templates, Knowledge base, Writing style, Identity), a "Your Progress 0/6" onboarding tracker, and a central "What are we creating today?" composer with "Write a post about productivity as a CEO" typed in.](/comparisons/competitors/kleo/homepage.webp) — Kleo's home screen — a ChatGPT-style "What are we creating today?" composer, tuned for viral formats.

Right, two different animals.

Let me put both through the four things that actually matter, starting with the one everyone checks first: price.

## 1. EasyGen vs Kleo Pricing: What's the Best Value for Money?

EasyGen is $59.99/mo. Kleo is $99/mo. That's the smaller half of the gap. The bigger half: EasyGen lets me look first. Three free posts and a 7-day trial, so I could generate real drafts before spending anything. Kleo has no trial at all — the first screen I saw was already on the other side of a $99 payment. That's EasyGen's entire overall-winner case. For a tool where the only question that matters is will this write something I'd actually use, finding out for free before you pay is worth a lot.

![EasyGen's "Upgrade to Pro" modal: Monthly $59.99/month with a Subscribe button, and Annual $599.88/year with a Subscribe button.](/comparisons/competitors/easygen/easygen-pricing.webp) — EasyGen's "Upgrade to Pro" modal — $59.99/month or $599.88/year.

![Kleo pricing "Join Kleo's launch offers": Standard plan $99/month (no long-term commitment, cancel anytime) vs Annual bundle $999/year (down from $1,188, "Save $189/year," Best Value); the 30-day risk-free guarantee is listed among the annual bundle's extras, not on the monthly plan.](/comparisons/competitors/kleo/kleo-pricing-plan.webp) — Kleo's pricing — Standard $99/month vs Annual bundle $999/year (down from $1,188), no monthly trial.

It isn't a blowout, though.

Finding EasyGen's price is a hassle: there's no public pricing page, so you have to sign up and hit the "Upgrade to Pro" modal before you can even see the $59.99. And cheaper doesn't mean better output. What the free trial mostly buys you is the chance to discover, at no cost, that the writing is generic.

Kleo's no-trial policy is a real cost, and it bites even paying customers. One UK reviewer put a discounted GBP 79 down and still came away flat, mostly over onboarding and support she couldn't reach.

> "I paid the discounted rate of GBP 79 (instead of the full price), and even at that price point, I don't feel the experience..."
> — [Kina, UK — Trustpilot, 2/5, 2025-12-27](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/kleo.so)

![Trustpilot review by Kina (GB), 2/5, Dec 27 2025, titled "Disappointed" — she paid the discounted GBP 79 rate and still didn't feel the experience was worth it, mostly over fully-booked onboarding and support she chased for weeks.](/comparisons/competitors/kleo/reviews/trustpilot-kina.webp) — Kina on Trustpilot — 2/5, Dec 2025.

Her review is about what happened after she paid, not the missing trial. That's the point: with Kleo, paying is the only way to find out, and paying doesn't guarantee it lands. For what it's worth, Oiti sits under both at $49/mo with a 7-day trial, so you can look before you pay and you're not paying a premium for templated output.

**Winner:** EasyGen — cheaper, and you can actually try it before you pay.

## 2. EasyGen vs Kleo Features & Breadth: Which Does More?

This one isn't close. Kleo does far more. It's a full-stack tool: a chat composer, a Knowledge base, an Identity layer, a Swipe File, and a scheduler, plus analytics that publishes safely. The Identity section is a real persona surface — "About you," "Your story," "Your offers" — where you set down your professional background and what makes your work different.

![Kleo's Identity page: "Define your professional identity to help create more personalized content," with editable "About you," "Your story," and "Your offers" sections, each updated via a question flow.](/comparisons/competitors/kleo/product-screenshots/kleo-context-engine.webp) — Kleo's Identity page — "About you," "Your story," and "Your offers," each filled in once via a question flow.

The Swipe File is useful too — a searchable library of high-performing posts, curated by the Kleo team plus ones you save yourself, each with a "Use swipe" button to riff off directly.

When I was staring at a blank page, that beat guessing.

EasyGen's answer to all of this is "Track Creators," and it's shallower by design. It surfaces other people's viral posts — a Creators List of people like Ruben Hassid and Anisha Jain, and each creator's outlier posts ranked by how far they beat that creator's own baseline — and that's where it stops.

![EasyGen's "Your Creators List": cards for Ruben Hassid, Pete Sena, Anisha Jain, Axelle Malek, and others, each with an "Add to List" button.](/comparisons/competitors/easygen/product-screenshots/tracked-creators-list.webp) — EasyGen's "Your Creators List" — a grid of creators to track, each with "Add to List."

![Anisha Jain's posts inside EasyGen, tagged with an "Outlier Index": one post flagged 12.86x, another 12.39x above her baseline.](/comparisons/competitors/easygen/product-screenshots/inspiration-posts-ofcreator.webp) — Anisha Jain's outlier posts inside EasyGen — ranked 12.86x and 12.39x above her baseline.

The idea is fine, but it never turns those posts into anything I could reuse — no line-by-line teardown of why a post worked, nothing to apply to my own topic. It shows you the viral post and leaves you to reverse-engineer it by eye. And EasyGen is text-only: no carousels, no publishing through official APIs, so you copy-paste each post into LinkedIn by hand. If breadth matters at all, Kleo wins outright.

**Winner:** Kleo — it does far more.

Next up is the big one — which tool's AI actually writes something worth shipping?

## 3. EasyGen vs Kleo Content: Which Tool's AI Content Is Better in 2026?

Kleo's chat composer lets me iterate, and it even explains why a post works. I typed "write a post about my journey as an entrepreneur," it drafted a full post in the editor with a schedule and publish button right there, and a side panel broke down the hook, the content, and the ending. On raw writing UX, Kleo wins comfortably.

![A Kleo-generated post ("Lara Acosta's entrepreneurial journey") in the editor with Schedule and Publish buttons, and a left panel explaining the Hook, Content, and Ending.](/comparisons/competitors/kleo/product-screenshots/kleo-editor-composer-copy.webp) — A Kleo-generated post in the editor — the broke-college-student arc, the fragment rhythm, and a "why this post works" breakdown.

The output is good. It just doesn't read like a specific person. It reads like the LinkedIn viral post — the broke-to-successful arc, the one-sentence-per-line rhythm, the "your breakthrough might be one pivot away" closer. It's the format executed flawlessly, which is exactly what Kleo is built to do. Feed it enough prompts and your feed ends up sounding like everyone else using it well, because you're all pulling toward the same proven shapes.

EasyGen is worse, and in a more basic way. It's a one-shot form — topic in, post out, no conversational second pass. I tested it on a real topic, AI taking away jobs, and here's what came back:

![EasyGen's "My Posts" editor showing a generated draft: "AI is taking away jobs. / This change is happening fast. / Many fear losing their work..." down through a numbered "6 ways to prepare for a future with AI."](/comparisons/competitors/easygen/product-screenshots/editing-dashboard.webp) — An EasyGen draft on "AI is taking away jobs" — one sentence per line, a numbered listicle, a nothing-ending.

One sentence per line, every line a flat declarative, a numbered listicle in the middle, a nothing-sentence at the end. That's broetry, the template that printed engagement in 2019 and 2020 and the exact register LinkedIn's 2026 algorithm now penalises. It reads like someone who has never had a specific thought about the topic. I wasn't the only one underwhelmed:

> "I didn't find it useful — maybe it is in the future, but not worth the money today."
> — [Felix Hofmann — Trustpilot, 1/5, 2025-08-15](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/easygen.io)

![Trustpilot review by Felix Hofmann (CH), 1/5, Aug 15 2025, titled "Fraudulent service, be careful" — he didn't find EasyGen useful or worth the money, and says he was charged immediately despite the promised 3 free posts.](/comparisons/competitors/easygen/reviews/trustpilot-felix.webp) — Felix Hofmann on Trustpilot — 1/5, Aug 2025.

Even ChatGPT does better here, because you can push back on ChatGPT. A one-shot form gives you nothing to push against.

**Winner:** Kleo, on the writing surface. But the catch applies to both — both just make you sound like AI slop. EasyGen flattens you toward an expired influencer playbook; Kleo toward whatever's going viral this week.

This is the gap Oiti was built to close: it grounds every draft in your long-term memory and Knowledge Base, so the post carries your POV instead of a viral template's. [Try Oiti free for 7 days, no usage limits](/).

Last axis, and the one that keeps people up at night: will either of these get your account banned?

## 4. EasyGen vs Kleo and LinkedIn's Terms of Service: Which Is Safe?

Neither tool risks your account today. EasyGen never connects to LinkedIn at all — its own onboarding copy says "EasyGen will never be connected to your LinkedIn, whatsoever" — so it can't get you flagged.

The flip side is that it also can't publish: you copy-paste every post over by hand.

Kleo publishes through LinkedIn's official APIs, and the Chrome extension it kept after the shutdown is narrow now: it only saves posts to your swipe file, it doesn't automate your account or touch your cookies. The full-stack tool exists at all because LinkedIn forced Kleo's original extension offline after two years and 70,000-plus users.

> "Just saw that Kleo is officially removing their Chrome extension after 2 years and 70,000+ users. Apparently LinkedIn asked them to shut it down."
> — [r/socialmedia, 2025](https://www.reddit.com/r/socialmedia/comments/1lik2zn/kleo_chrome_extension_shut_down_what_are_you/)

![Reddit r/socialmedia thread "Kleo Chrome extension shut down, what are you using now for LinkedIn content ideation?" — Kleo is officially removing their Chrome extension after 2 years and 70,000+ users because LinkedIn asked them to shut it down.](/comparisons/competitors/kleo/reviews/reddit-shutdown.webp) — The r/socialmedia thread on Kleo's Chrome-extension shutdown.

The difference: Kleo actually publishes safely, while EasyGen is safe mainly because it doesn't publish at all. EasyGen's onboarding also broke on me when I tried to add my LinkedIn URL, throwing a "Setup failed: Unexpected end of JSON input" error I had to retry three or four times before it let me through. That's reliability, not safety, but it's the kind of thing you fix before charging people $59.99/mo.

![EasyGen's "Share your LinkedIn" onboarding step with a red error toast: "Setup failed: Unexpected end of JSON input."](/comparisons/competitors/easygen/product-screenshots/onboarding-bug-setup.webp) — EasyGen's onboarding throwing "Setup failed: Unexpected end of JSON input" on the LinkedIn-URL step.

**Winner:** Even — neither one puts your account at risk today.

## Which Should YOU Pick — EasyGen or Kleo?

**Pick EasyGen if** you want the cheapest, fastest way to spin up daily LinkedIn text posts that you'll heavily rewrite yourself, and you want to try a tool before paying for it. You're fine with generic raw output as a starting scaffold, and you don't need carousels or built-in publishing.

**Pick Kleo if** you specifically want viral-format content, you're okay paying $99/mo for a single account with no trial, and you value a real full-stack workspace — a knowledge base, a swipe file, a safe scheduler, and a composer that's actually pleasant to write in. The one condition: use it intelligently, so its viral tuning doesn't flatten your originality.

**Pick neither if** what you actually want is posts grounded in your own POV and a tool that remembers your feedback between sessions. That's the gap both of them share.

## When Neither EasyGen nor Kleo Is the Answer: Try Oiti, the AI Clone for LinkedIn Content

Both of these write posts, and both write them toward a template — EasyGen toward an expired 2020 broetry playbook, Kleo toward whatever's going viral. And neither one holds onto your feedback between sessions: EasyGen has no memory layer at all, and Kleo's Identity and Knowledge base fields are static — you fill them in once, and nothing you correct afterwards feeds back in. So the output drifts generic (EasyGen) or same-as-everyone (Kleo), and you spend your time re-teaching the tool the same preferences it forgot last session.

That gap is what Oiti, the AI clone for LinkedIn content, was built to close. It runs on long-term memory and a Knowledge Base. Every time you write, it fires several parallel fetches across your knowledge base and long-term memory, working out who you are, what you believe, and your industry POVs before a word hits the page.

![Oiti's chat on the left interviewing the author for their real story before writing, with the finished LinkedIn draft shown on the right.](/comparisons/competitors/oiti/product-screenshots/content-creation-flow.webp) — Oiti drafting a post in chat — it asks for your real story first, then writes it the way you actually talk.

The Knowledge Base ingests your PDFs, posts, and videos.

![Oiti's Knowledge Base — a searchable table of 22 saved LinkedIn sources marked "Ready," with "Sync LinkedIn Posts" and "Add Material" buttons, under the line "Everything added here will be used as reference material by Oiti to ideate and create content."](/comparisons/competitors/oiti/product-screenshots/knowledge-base.webp) — Oiti's Knowledge Base — your posts, PDFs, and videos become reference material it pulls before it drafts.

![An Oiti-written draft grounded in live web research — sections on prices, affordability, first-time buyers, mortgage rates and inventory, each statistic underlined with an inline source chip (realtor.com, redfin.com, nahb.org, prnewswire.com).](/comparisons/competitors/oiti/product-screenshots/inline-citations.webp) — Grounded drafts, not guesses — each stat in an Oiti draft carries an inline source.

The long-term memory absorbs every "no, not like that," so the system gets more like you over time instead of resetting each session. The inspiration-to-template loop sits on top of that.

If you only want the cheapest disposable text-post generator and originality isn't what you're trying to solve, EasyGen is fine and Oiti is overkill. But if the whole point is that your writing carries your own POV instead of a template's, that's exactly where both of these fall short.

Oiti starts at $49/mo, with a 7-day free trial so you can see it before you commit. The AI Clone builds in about 30 seconds. [Try Oiti free for 7 days, no usage limits](/) and write the same post in all three — read the drafts side by side.

## FAQ

### Is EasyGen cheaper than Kleo?

Yes. EasyGen is $59.99/mo ($599.88/yr); Kleo is $99/mo ($999/yr). And EasyGen lets you try it first — three free posts plus a 7-day trial — while Kleo has no trial at all, so with Kleo you're paying $99 upfront just to find out whether it fits. The lower price plus the chance to test it first is most of why EasyGen edges it overall. EasyGen's raw output is more generic than Kleo's, though, so you're saving money on a tool you'll rewrite more heavily. Cheaper wins the buying decision here. It isn't the same as better writing.

### Does EasyGen or Kleo Have a Free Trial?

EasyGen does — three free posts, then a 7-day trial, so you can onboard, generate real drafts, and use the Track Creators feed before paying anything. Kleo does not. With Kleo you pay $99/mo (or $999/yr) upfront, with no trial tier, so you commit before you've written a single post in it. The annual plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee, but that asks you to front $999 and then request a refund, which isn't the same as trying before you buy. If trying before buying matters to you, that gap is decisive, and it's the single biggest reason EasyGen wins this comparison overall.

### Which Writes Better LinkedIn Posts, EasyGen or Kleo?

Kleo, on the writing surface. It's a real chat composer you can iterate with, and it even shows a "why this post works" breakdown, versus EasyGen's one-shot form that returns generic 2020 broetry with no conversational second pass. But there's a catch that applies to both: each one pulls toward a template — Kleo toward viral formats, EasyGen toward an expired playbook — so both just produce AI slop, not your POV. [That's the gap Oiti is built for](/). It drafts from your long-term memory and knowledge base, grounding each post in your actual POV, so the posts read like you typed them rather than like the format that's trending.

### Is EasyGen or Kleo Safer for My LinkedIn Account?

Both are safe today. EasyGen never connects to your LinkedIn at all — its own onboarding says so — so it can't get you flagged, though it also can't publish, which means you copy-paste every post over by hand. Kleo publishes through LinkedIn's official APIs, and the only Chrome extension it kept after the shutdown just saves posts to your swipe file; it doesn't automate your account or touch your cookies. Neither one risks a ban. What separates them is that Kleo does the publishing for you without putting the account at risk, and EasyGen never touches the account in the first place.

### Is There a Better Alternative to Both EasyGen and Kleo?

Between the two, EasyGen wins on price and on letting you test it first, and Kleo wins as the better-built viral workspace. But if what you want is posts grounded in your own POV, neither one fits — both write toward a template, and neither remembers you between sessions. [That's where Oiti comes in](/): it runs on long-term memory and a knowledge base that learns who you are, so it drafts from your POV and gets sharper the more you use it. It starts at $49/mo and has a 7-day free trial, so you can see it work before you spend anything. If originality is the goal, that's the tool I'd test against both of these.

### Can I Use EasyGen and Kleo Together?

You can, but you'd be paying roughly $159/mo for two tools with the same blind spot. Both optimize for a viral or templated shape, and neither carries your POV or your feedback between sessions, so running both mostly buys you two versions of the same generic-drift problem. If you're already willing to spend that much on LinkedIn content, one tool built around you — your memory, your knowledge base, your industry POVs — does more than two built around a format.

## The verdict

EasyGen edges it overall: it's cheaper, and you can try it before you pay. Kleo is the better-built, more capable tool. It wins on breadth, on its writing surface, and on its knowledge base, and it's worth $99/mo only if you specifically want viral-format content and don't mind paying before you've tested it. If you want the cheapest text-post scaffold you'll rewrite yourself, go EasyGen. If you want a full-stack viral workspace and you'll use it intelligently so it doesn't flatten your originality, go Kleo.

And if what you want is posts grounded in your own POV and a tool that remembers your feedback between sessions, neither of them gets you there. Oiti is built on long-term memory and a Knowledge Base for exactly that. The AI Clone builds in about 30 seconds, and you can write the same post in all three before you decide.
