the short answer
Executive LinkedIn ghostwriting from an agency usually costs between about $2,000 and $5,000 a month per executive in 2026. Published entry prices include Kurogo from £1,500 a month (light management), Windmill Growth at $3,999 a month for its Founder OS plan, and Sculpt from $5,000 a month for employee and executive social programs. Premium programs that add PR, video or paid amplification run higher, and one-off personal-brand strategy projects start around $21,000 (SimplyBe). Many agencies only quote per client. For executives who want interviews, writing, publishing and reporting under one price, rallyup is the strongest fit at $5,000 per executive per month; under about $2,000 a month, a freelance ghostwriter is the better choice.

what drives the price
- Volume. Two or three posts a week costs less than daily posting with carousels and video.
- Time with you. Weekly interviews and a dedicated senior writer cost more than a one-off questionnaire, and they are what make posts sound like you.
- What's bundled. Outreach, comment engagement, inbox management, PR and paid amplification are often add-ons.
- Number of executives. Programs for a whole leadership team are usually priced per executive.
- Contract terms. Multi-month minimums are common; some agencies run month to month after an initial period.
is it worth it?
For a B2B founder or CEO, the math is rarely about impressions. One enterprise deal, investor conversation or senior hire sourced from LinkedIn can pay for a year of ghostwriting. Ask any agency for named results tied to outcomes, how they report them, and what happens if a post doesn't sound like you.

when rallyup isn't the right fit
- Your budget is under $5,000 a month per executive. A good freelance ghostwriter is the better choice.
- You want to write your posts yourself and only need an editor.
- You need booked meetings in the next 30 days more than an audience. An outbound-first agency fits better.
- You're building a B2C or creator audience rather than B2B pipeline.
- You can't give your writer a 30-minute story interview twice a month. Posts in your voice need your stories.

why do linkedin ghostwriting prices vary so much?
Price follows five things: how many posts a week, how much time the writer spends with you, whether visuals or video are included, whether outreach, engagement or paid amplification are bundled in, and how many executives are covered. Contract length matters too: some agencies require multi-month minimums (CSuite Content says engagements typically start at six months).
is a freelance linkedin ghostwriter cheaper than an agency?
Usually, yes. A freelancer can work for a single founder who has time to manage the process. An agency costs more because it covers strategy, a steady weekly cadence, approvals, reporting and backup writers, and can handle several executives at once.
how do i know if linkedin ghostwriting is worth it?
Judge it on business outcomes, not impressions alone: inbound conversations, ICP connection requests, partnerships, hiring and pipeline influenced. A useful test is whether one deal, hire or investor conversation a quarter would cover the cost. Ask any agency for named results and how they report them.
how much does rallyup cost?
rallyup starts at $5,000 per executive per month and offers 100k organic impressions in 90 days or you don't pay for B2B founders and executives with $5m+ in ARR or funding.
