Tagembed and LinkedInEmbed in brief
Tagembed aggregates content from many social networks and has a dedicated LinkedIn widget page. As of October 23, 2026, its LinkedIn sources included company pages, hashtags and single-post URLs, and its FAQ listed personal profiles without stating conditions. LinkedIn isn't part of its free plan.
LinkedInEmbed handles LinkedIn only, from public profile and company page URLs, and makes seven widget types from them. It has no hashtag sources and doesn't pull in other networks.
If your website shows a social wall, Tagembed is built for that job. If it shows your LinkedIn presence specifically, the comparison tilts the other way.
Where Tagembed is the better fit
- You want LinkedIn and other networks in one place. Tagembed is a multi-network aggregator; LinkedInEmbed is not.
- You follow a LinkedIn hashtag or want to embed specific posts by URL. Tagembed lists hashtag and single-post URL sources. LinkedInEmbed has no hashtag feeds; its paid plans can feature up to four hand-picked posts from your own feed.
- Faster refresh at the entry level. Tagembed Starter refreshes every 2 hours, against 24 hours on LinkedInEmbed Pro.
- Top-end freshness. Tagembed lists 30 minutes on Growth and 15 minutes on Advanced.
Where LinkedInEmbed is the better fit
- You want to start without paying. LinkedIn isn't included in Tagembed's free plan; LinkedInEmbed's free plan includes one widget of any type, the feed included.
- Personal profiles are central. LinkedInEmbed states support for public posts from a profile URL; Tagembed lists personal profiles in its FAQ without stating conditions.
- A lower entry price for LinkedIn. LinkedInEmbed Pro is $12.99/month billed monthly; Tagembed Starter is $19/month billed monthly for one LinkedIn feed.
- LinkedIn content beyond posts: recommendations, certifications, projects, company jobs, and profile or company cards.
Price and refresh compared
Tagembed's Starter plan, at $19/month billed monthly, includes one LinkedIn feed refreshed every 2 hours. Growth refreshes every 30 minutes and Advanced every 15 minutes, per its plan table. Its FAQ also says feeds update in real time, which doesn't match that table, so treat the table as the firmer figure and confirm with Tagembed.
LinkedInEmbed Pro ($12.99/month) refreshes every 24 hours with three widgets and two sources; Essentials ($29.99/month) refreshes every 30 minutes with five widgets and five sources. If two-hour freshness matters more to you than price or widget variety, Tagembed Starter refreshes more often than LinkedInEmbed Pro.
Switching from Tagembed

Find the LinkedIn page behind your feed
Note the company page or profile URL in your Tagembed LinkedIn feed. Hashtag and single-post sources don't carry over, because LinkedInEmbed doesn't support them.

Build the widget
Paste that URL into LinkedInEmbed, choose the posts feed and style it with your theme, colors, fonts and layout.
- 3
Replace the embed
Remove Tagembed's code and paste LinkedInEmbed's snippet in its place. If your Tagembed feed mixed several networks, keep Tagembed for those or move to a LinkedIn-only feed.
