Lempod is a Chrome extension that shares your LinkedIn post with engagement pods, where other members like and comment on it. As of September 2026 it sells ten monthly plans from $9.99 to $1,499.99 excluding tax, paid in two credit types called Gold and Silver, with three optional add-ons charged separately in dollars. Every price below was read off Lempod’s own pricing page on September 13, 2026.
The credit system is where published reviews disagree most, so this one shows the arithmetic. You get the full plan table, the per-action costs, and a monthly cost example that is entirely hypothetical and says so. At the end there is a Lempod vs PowerIn table built only from what each company publishes about itself.
How does Lempod work?
Lempod runs through a Chrome extension. You install it, join one or more pods (its pricing page advertises “1000+ different LinkedIn Engagement Pods”), then boost a post. Members of the pods you picked like and comment on it. Each boost spends credits: 20 Gold to start it, then 10 Silver for every like or comment the post receives.
Lempod’s site and support centre describe the setup in four steps.
- Install the extension. The support guide has you open chrome://extensions, switch on Developer mode, download a zip file from lempod.com, extract it, and load the unpacked folder. Lempod’s support centre also says the tool keeps working when your computer is off, “as long as you have the extension installed.”
- Join pods. Public pods connect “like-minded people in the same community, industry, or location,” and you pay only for yourself. A private business pod has one owner who pays for everyone, which Lempod lists at “60% off the normal price.”
- Boost a post. The homepage says you “pick the pods you want to share your post with” and “choose AI-generated comments that people will leave on your posts.” Support puts the ceiling at one boost every 30 minutes.
- Track results. The homepage lists tracking of views, comments and likes on each boosted post.
Lempod adds its own caveat about what joining buys you: a group “does not mean that everyone in it will automatically engage with your post.”
How much does Lempod cost in 2026?
Ten plans, priced per month excluding tax. Nine of them include an allowance of Lempod Gold plus what Lempod calls “Free Lempod Silver”. The cheapest, Lite at $9.99, is marked “Experienced users only” and lists no credit allowance at all, so it only makes sense alongside Gold you top up yourself.
| Plan | Price / month | Lempod Gold | Free Lempod Silver | “Engagements” shown by Lempod |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | $9.99 | not listed | not listed | not listed |
| Starter | $14.99 | 100 | 500 | 550 |
| Essential | $29.99 | 200 | 3,500 | 1,350 |
| Growth | $72.99 | 500 | 5,000 | 3,000 |
| Pro | $134.99 | 800 | 16,000 | 5,600 |
| Agency | $149.99 | 1,700 | 55,000 | 14,000 |
| Agency XL | $179.99 | 2,500 | 105,000 | 23,000 |
| Unlimited | $199.99 | 500 | 1,000,000 | 102,500 |
| Corporate | $799.99 | 5,000 | 260,000 | 51,000 |
| Enterprise | $1,499.99 | 9,400 | 555,000 | 102,500 |
Three features sit outside the plans and outside the credit system. Boost Control, which lets you pause, resume or change a boost’s scheduling period, is $19.99 a month. Scheduling an engagement in advance is $29.99 a month. Ghost Mode, described as a way to “join pods without performing social actions,” is $49.99 a month. Lempod’s agreement states plainly that add-ons “are billed monthly and are not paid in Lempod Gold or Lempod Silver.”
Prices are current as of September 2026. Lempod’s page says charges apply at published rates and “may change upon posting,” so check lempod.com/pricing on the day you buy.
How do Lempod Gold and Silver credits work?
Gold is the wallet, Silver is the spending money. One Gold converts automatically to 50 Silver, and for customers the conversion runs one way. Starting a boost costs 20 Gold per post. Every like or comment your post receives costs 10 Silver. Silver expires one month after it lands in your account.
The rest of the rules come from the pricing agreement and Lempod’s support article on Gold versus Silver.
- Comments you write yourself cost nothing. Each AI-generated comment is 5 Silver.
- When your Silver runs low, Gold converts at the fixed rate so the action can continue. Going the other way, Silver back to Gold, happens only when Lempod’s team reverses a conversion, for example while resolving a support case.
- The one-month expiry applies to every Silver balance, whether it arrived with your plan, from a conversion, from support, or as a gift.
- Unused Gold can be withdrawn within 14 days of depositing, minus any Gold already used. Silver and Points are non-refundable, and the Unlimited plan is non-refundable.
Do the arithmetic and the start fee turns out to be expensive. 20 Gold converts to 1,000 Silver, which is what 100 likes or comments would cost. Lempod’s “Engagements” column appears to ignore it. For every plan in the table that number equals Gold times 50, plus Silver, divided by 10, which is how much engagement you could pay for if you converted all your Gold and never started a single boost. Starter shows 550. Start one boost and the real ceiling is 450.
It also explains why two plans at very different prices can show the same number. Gold sets how many posts you can boost; Silver sets how much engagement each one absorbs. Unlimited and Enterprise both display 102,500 engagements, and Lempod’s support article describes Unlimited as “good for heavy engagement per post” against Agency as “good for multiple posts.”
| Plan | Boost starts the included Gold covers (Gold / 20) | Likes and comments the included Silver covers (Silver / 10) |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 5 | 50 |
| Essential | 10 | 350 |
| Growth | 25 | 500 |
| Pro | 40 | 1,600 |
| Agency | 85 | 5,500 |
| Agency XL | 125 | 10,500 |
| Unlimited | 25 | 100,000 |
| Corporate | 250 | 26,000 |
| Enterprise | 470 | 55,500 |
Both columns are ceilings worked out from Lempod’s published rates. You cannot hit both at once, because every Gold spent on a start fee is Gold that never becomes Silver.
What does a month of Lempod cost? A worked example
This scenario is invented for illustration. Say a consultant posts three times a week, 12 posts a month, and boosts all of them. Say each boost pulls in 25 likes and comments. That 25 is a planning assumption, not a Lempod figure, and nothing here predicts what a pod will deliver. AI comments and add-ons are left out.
Per post: 20 Gold to start, plus 25 x 10 = 250 Silver. Across the month that is 12 x 20 = 240 Gold in start fees and 12 x 250 = 3,000 Silver in engagement.
On Starter ($14.99, 100 Gold and 500 Silver), four boosts use 80 Gold in start fees and 1,000 Silver in engagement. The included 500 Silver pays for half of that, and converting 10 Gold covers the rest. You are left with 10 Gold, not enough to start a fifth boost. Starter handles 4 of the 12 posts.
Essential ($29.99, 200 Gold and 3,500 Silver) buys 200 / 20 = 10 boost starts. Ten posts need 2,500 Silver against 3,500 included. That is 10 of 12 posts, with 1,000 Silver left to expire.
Growth ($72.99, 500 Gold and 5,000 Silver) covers all 12 posts on 240 Gold and 3,000 Silver, leaving 260 Gold and 2,000 Silver unused.
On these assumptions Growth is the smallest plan that gets through the month. Add scheduling in advance and the bill is $72.99 plus $29.99, so $102.98 before tax. Lempod says you can top up Gold “whenever you like,” but its pricing page publishes no per-Gold price, so there is no way to cost out topping up Essential for the last two posts from public figures alone.
Worth knowing before you plan around Lempod’s own examples: the support article’s sample calculation lists “200 Lempod Silver” per boost for a post receiving 200 likes, then correctly totals 2,000 Silver for those same 200 likes two lines later.
Why do Lempod reviews quote different prices?
Older pages describe a per-pod model that no longer exists. In a February 1, 2023 announcement, Lempod set prices at “$9.99 for public pods and $3.99 for private pods.” The current pricing page says the company has “moved from per-pod fees to a simple two-balance system,” under a customer agreement in effect from 25 August 2025.
Even current pages drift. PowerIn’s Lempod comparison page, as of September 2026, gives Lempod’s plan range as 14.99 to 199.99 dollars a month and says pause and resume costs $39.99 a month. Lempod’s own page lists Lite at $9.99, Corporate at $799.99 and Enterprise at $1,499.99, and prices Boost Control (pause, resume, change scheduling period) at $19.99 a month. If a review quotes you a range that stops at $199.99, it is describing part of the menu.
Who is Lempod a good fit for?
Lempod suits people who want pod members engaging with posts they publish themselves and who are willing to run a browser extension. Match the plan to your posting habits rather than to the headline engagement number: occasional posters who want heavy engagement on each post want the Silver-heavy tiers, and frequent posters want the Gold-heavy ones.
It works well for a team whose members already know each other. In a private business pod one owner carries the billing, and members can boost their own posts without a subscription because the owner covers the 20 Gold fee. Light posters get a cheap entry too. Boost three posts a month and Starter’s 100 Gold covers the start fees comfortably, leaving only the Silver to size.
It is a harder sell if you want a predictable invoice. Silver expires monthly, add-ons are charged in dollars on top, and top-up Gold pricing is not published. Lempod’s pages also cover LinkedIn post boosting only, so it does nothing for your activity on other people’s posts or on X. If browser extensions are a problem for you, the documented install path is one. Our guide to how LinkedIn engagement pods work in 2026 covers the mechanics behind all of these tools.
Lempod vs PowerIn: which one does what you need?
These two do opposite jobs. Lempod brings pod engagement to posts you publish and bills in Gold and Silver. PowerIn posts AI-written comments from your account on other people’s LinkedIn and X posts, targeted by creator or keyword, for a flat monthly price with a daily comment cap. Both sets of figures below come from each company’s own pages as of September 2026.
| Lempod | PowerIn | |
|---|---|---|
| What it automates | Pod members like and comment on posts you boost | Comments from your account on other people’s posts, targeted by creator or keyword |
| Pricing | Ten plans, $9.99 to $1,499.99 a month excluding tax, plus add-ons at $19.99 to $49.99 a month | Growth $59 a month (billed $472 yearly), Advanced $99 a month ($792 yearly), Scale $149 a month ($1,192 yearly); agency plans on request |
| Volume limits | Set by credits: 20 Gold per boost, 10 Silver per like or comment, one boost every 30 minutes | 30, 100 or 200 comments per day, which PowerIn lists as 900, 3,000 and 6,000 per month |
| Accounts | Not stated on the pricing page | “Connect unlimited accounts” on every plan |
| Platforms | LinkedIn and X (Twitter) | |
| Trial | None listed on the pricing page; private pod members can boost their own posts without a subscription | A 5-day free trial with no credit card, per its FAQ; a banner on the same page says 3 days |
| Architecture, as each vendor describes it | Chrome extension, per Lempod’s install guide | PowerIn’s Lempod page describes its product as running with “no Chrome extension” |
| Comment approval | You choose the AI-generated comments pod members leave and can edit them under View Comments | “Manual approval mode” to approve each comment before it posts, or fully automatic |
The choice comes down to where you want the activity to appear. If your own posts go quiet in the first hours after publishing, PowerIn is not built for that problem. If the goal is getting your name into other people’s comment sections, Lempod does not do that.
How is PostPilot different from Lempod?
PostPilot, HypeLab’s engagement product, works on posts you publish, like Lempod does. The interactions are human reviewed, and the product runs in the cloud with nothing to install in Chrome. Billing uses a single credit balance where each action costs one credit, so there is no wallet token to convert into a spending token before you can boost anything.
Current plans, billing periods and what each tier includes are listed on the HypeLab pricing page.
The PostPilot walkthrough shows that review step in order. For a short feature-by-feature view, see the PostPilot vs Lempod comparison table. If Podawaa is also on your list, the Podawaa vs Lempod vs PostPilot breakdown puts all three side by side on features and price. Already decided to move off Lempod entirely?

If working out a Gold to Silver conversion before every post sounds like work you did not sign up for, try one credit per action on your next LinkedIn post. Get Started for Free.
Frequently asked questions
Does Lempod have a free plan?
Lempod’s pricing page lists no free plan and no free trial as of September 2026. The cheapest entry is Lite at $9.99 a month. Members of a private pod can start boosts on their own posts without a subscription, because the pod owner pays the 20 Gold fee. Boosts in public pods need an active subscription.
Can I get a refund from Lempod?
Only on Gold. Unused Lempod Gold can be withdrawn and refunded within 14 days of depositing, minus any Gold already used. Gold deposited more than 14 days earlier falls outside the window. Silver and Points are non-refundable, and so is the Unlimited plan.
How often can I boost a post on Lempod?
Lempod’s support centre says customers can boost once every 30 minutes.
Can I control the comments pod members leave on my post?
Yes. Lempod’s support centre says to “click on View Comments and change your comments,” and the homepage says you choose the AI-generated comments people will leave. Comments you write yourself cost no Silver; AI-generated ones cost 5 Silver each.
What are Lempod Points?
Points are a bonus balance. Lempod gives 1 point for every member who is offline during a boost and 1 point for each post you participate in. Points convert to Silver at 2,500 Points to 50 Silver, and that Silver then carries the standard one-month expiry.
Does Lempod work on X or on other people’s posts?
Neither. Lempod’s pages describe boosting LinkedIn posts you publish. Boosting other people’s posts and company page posts both require an active subscription, and X is not mentioned anywhere on its pricing or product pages.
