Curator.io and LinkedInEmbed in brief
Curator.io is a multi-network social aggregator. As of October 23, 2026, per its pricing page, LinkedIn wasn't on its free plan; it's available on the Business plan and a 7-day trial. Company pages are supported but school pages aren't, and its own pages disagree on personal profiles: the help center says public profiles work, while the LinkedIn aggregator page says company accounts only.
LinkedInEmbed covers LinkedIn alone: personal profiles and company pages from their public URLs, turned into a posts feed or one of six other LinkedIn widgets.
Where Curator.io is the better fit
- Faster refresh in this pairing. Curator.io Business refreshes every 15 minutes; LinkedInEmbed's quickest plan refreshes every 30 minutes.
- A wall that mixes LinkedIn with other networks, which LinkedInEmbed can't build.
- You're already paying for Business to aggregate other sources, so LinkedIn comes along at no extra plan cost.
Where LinkedInEmbed is the better fit
- Price for LinkedIn alone. LinkedInEmbed Pro is $12.99/month and Essentials $29.99/month, both below Curator.io Business.
- A free plan instead of a trial. The LinkedIn feed is on LinkedInEmbed's free plan rather than behind a 7-day trial.
- Certainty on personal profiles. LinkedInEmbed states support for public posts from a profile URL.
- Profile-centric widgets: recommendations, certifications, projects and a profile card, useful when the site is about a person rather than a brand.
Price and refresh compared
Curator.io's pricing page shows two Business prices, $54 and $59 a month, without labelling which is monthly and which is annual. Either way, it's the highest LinkedIn entry price among the tools we compared, and Business refreshes every 15 minutes.
LinkedInEmbed: Free refreshes every 96 hours, Pro ($12.99/month or $132.50/year) every 24 hours, and Essentials ($29.99/month or $305.90/year) every 30 minutes. Essentials costs a little over half of Curator.io Business and refreshes every half hour rather than every quarter hour.
