Eplie vs Gromming: What If You Need More Than a Generated Comment?

You find a LinkedIn post about something you know well.

Maybe it's about SaaS growth.

Maybe it's about hiring.

Or maybe someone describes a problem you've dealt with yourself.

You want to respond.

A comment generator can give you a starting point.

But you don't always need one.

Sometimes you've already written your opinion.

Maybe your sentence is too long.

Maybe the grammar is awkward.

Maybe you want to explain your experience without sounding formal.

Or perhaps you're trying to answer someone who asked a specific question in a long comment thread.

These are different writing problems.

Eplie Helps at Different Stages

You can use Eplie to prepare a complete draft.

Or start writing yourself and get suggestions.

Or finish a rough idea.

Or improve something you've already written.

You don't have to generate a new comment every time you need help with the wording.

Gromming's Approach

Gromming focuses on contextual comment and reply generation.

Choose a persona, click its button, and the extension writes a draft into LinkedIn.

You can then edit the result before publishing.

That's useful when you want a complete response.

Eplie provides more specifically documented ways to work on the writing itself.

Let's use an example.

Someone publishes a LinkedIn post about SaaS growth.

They explain that website traffic has increased significantly, but the number of customer signups hasn't changed.

You want to respond with something you've seen while working on organic acquisition.

How Eplie Works

1. Find the post. Browse LinkedIn normally.
2. Click the Eplie button. The extension appears in the post's action area.
3. Review your comment. Eplie uses the selected post and your writing preferences to prepare a draft directly inside LinkedIn's comment box.
4. Make changes if needed. Edit the text manually or use Refine.
5. Publish. You decide when the comment is ready.

How Gromming Works

1. Find a LinkedIn post. Gromming works on supported feed, profile, company, and individual post pages.
2. Click Comment with AI. The extension reads the post content.
3. Use your selected persona. Gromming applies the persona and writing preferences you've configured.
4. Watch the draft appear. Gromming streams the generated comment directly into LinkedIn's comment box.
5. Review and publish. You can edit the text before posting it yourself.

Which Is Easier?

For generating a complete comment, the two workflows are very similar.

Both avoid opening another AI chat.

Both can use the selected post.

Both insert a draft directly into LinkedIn.

We wouldn't claim that Eplie requires fewer steps or generates better first drafts without testing the same posts in both extensions.

Eplie's advantage becomes clearer when you want to do something with the draft after generation.

A generated comment isn't always ready to publish.

Sometimes the idea is good, but the wording needs work.

Maybe the comment is too long.

Maybe it has unnecessary words.

Maybe the grammar needs fixing.

Or maybe the point could be explained more clearly.

You don't necessarily need another generated comment.

You just need to improve the existing one.

Eplie's Refine Menu

Eplie provides five dedicated editing actions directly inside LinkedIn.

Polish

Fix grammar and improve sentence flow.

Rewrite

Say the same thing differently.

Shorten

Remove repetition and unnecessary wording.

Make clearer

Improve an explanation that's difficult to follow.

Professional

Adjust the tone when a more formal response makes sense.

These actions work on Eplie generated drafts and comments you've written yourself.

How Does Gromming Handle Editing?

Gromming lets users review and manually edit generated comments before publishing.

Its settings also allow users to change comment length, style, and persona.

However, I couldn't verify a dedicated set of actions equivalent to Eplie's five Refine controls for text already written in the LinkedIn comment box.

That doesn't mean Gromming cannot generate shorter or clearer comments.

The difference is the documented editing interaction.

A Practical Example

OriginalI personally think that SaaS companies are spending too much of their time trying to increase their website traffic and not enough time seeing if those visitors are actually turning into paying customers.

A possible shortened versionI think too many SaaS companies focus on traffic growth without checking whether those visitors become paying customers.

The point stays the same.

The comment becomes easier to read.

This example illustrates the editing action. It isn't a recorded output from either product.

Why Eplie Is Useful Here

You can improve an existing comment without starting again.

If you frequently edit your own writing, that may be more useful than generating another complete response.

Imagine you're reading a post about search traffic.

You start typingtraffic increasing but signups aren't, maybe wrong keywords

You know exactly what you mean.

The problem is turning that thought into a clear sentence.

How Eplie Helps

Start with your rough text inside LinkedIn.

Eplie will be able to use what you've written, the selected post, and your writing preferences to prepare a more complete comment.

For exampleI've seen SaaS websites increase their organic traffic without getting more signups. Before investing in more content, I'd check whether the new keywords are attracting people who actually need the product.

You review the result and make sure it reflects your point.

What About Gromming?

Gromming's Chrome extension focuses on generating contextual comments based on the selected post and persona.

Its separate website comment generator also accepts user-provided post content, expertise, and optional thread text.

Those controls provide ways to guide generation.

However, an equivalent feature for completing text already typed in LinkedIn's comment box wasn't clearly documented.

Why This Matters

Eplie lets you choose how to start.

Generate the entire draft.

Write part of it yourself.

Use suggestions as you type.

Or finish the comment and improve it afterward.

You don't have to use the same writing process for every conversation.

Gromming advertises seven writing personas.

Each is intended to guide the kind of response it generates.

Analyst

Focuses on data, observations, and analytical points.

Motivator

Uses encouraging and energetic language.

Grateful

Emphasizes appreciation and recognition.

Comedian

Uses humor and a lighter tone.

Curious

Asks questions and explores ideas.

Tactical Questioner

Focuses on practical follow-up questions.

Quick Win Provider

Offers short, practical suggestions.

Why These Personas Can Be Useful

Imagine someone shares a lesson about improving customer onboarding.

An Analyst persona might focus on how the team measured improvement.

A Curious persona might ask what caused users to struggle.

A Quick Win Provider might suggest a practical change.

Those are different ways to approach the same post.

How Eplie Handles This

Eplie offers writing tones, comment goals, and My Voice personalization.

You can guide a response toward sharing experience, asking a question, adding value, or respectfully challenging an idea.

You can also specify your preferred writing style.

Which Approach Makes More Sense?

Gromming is appealing if you like selecting from clearly named personas.

Eplie may be preferable if you want a set of writing preferences based more closely on your background and the way you normally communicate.

Neither wins simply because it has more options.

The useful option is the one that helps you make the point you wanted to make.

Imagine a LinkedIn post saysWe've increased website traffic by 70% this year, but our customer signups haven't improved.

The conversation develops.

First commentMaybe most of the new traffic comes from people who aren't interested in buying.

Second commentCould also be the landing page. Traffic isn't the only thing that affects conversion.

Third commentHow would you figure out whether the problem is the keywords or the landing page?

Now you want to answer the third person.

A generic reply might sayTraffic is only useful when it drives business results.

That doesn't answer the question.

A more useful response could beI'd start by separating traffic by landing page and keyword intent. If visitors come from relevant commercial searches but don't sign up, I'd investigate the landing page. If most of the traffic comes from broad informational searches, the keywords may be the bigger issue.

That addresses the specific question.

Why Does This Matter?

A reply assistant needs enough context to understand who you're answering and what they're asking.

Both extensions support contextual replies.

But the exact conversation history available to each assistant may affect its response.

We haven't conducted a controlled test establishing which handles complex threads better.

The example above is illustrative, not a recorded result from Eplie or Gromming.

This is worth understanding before comparing the workflows.

Gromming's Chrome extension works directly inside LinkedIn.

Its separate website also offers a LinkedIn Comment Generator.

The Website Generator

The web tool includes fields for:

• Your expertise.
• Comment style.
• Comment length.
• Comment persona.
• LinkedIn post content.
• Existing comment thread, when you're preparing a reply.

Users can supply the post text and any relevant comments, then request a generated response.

This can be useful when you want to work with text outside LinkedIn.

The Chrome Extension

The extension is different.

It reads the selected LinkedIn post or comment and prepares the response directly inside LinkedIn.

You don't need to copy the post manually when using the supported extension workflow.

How Eplie Compares

Eplie's core writing workflow is designed around the LinkedIn interface itself.

You can generate, reply, refine, or get suggestions while writing inside LinkedIn.

If your main goal is commenting on posts you're already reading, both extensions avoid the need to manually transfer the post into an AI chat.

Eplie's additional writing controls are the more meaningful difference.

Both Eplie and Gromming advertise personalized comments.

Both aim to avoid generic replies.

But writing quality can't be established from marketing descriptions alone.

A comment can sound natural while contributing nothing to the conversation.

Example

Someone writesWe stopped measuring success by website traffic alone. Now we're paying more attention to how many visitors actually become customers.

Generic responseGreat insights. Such an important reminder for businesses.

More useful responseI've seen this with SaaS sites too. Traffic can keep increasing while signups barely move. Looking at which pages bring qualified visitors usually tells you more than the total traffic number.

The second comment responds to a specific point and adds an observation.

That's the kind of writing worth aiming for.

How Eplie Approaches Quality

Eplie uses post context and your writing preferences.

You can provide examples, preferred expressions, and professional background through My Voice.

If the draft needs improvement, you can edit it with Refine.

How Gromming Approaches Quality

Gromming uses post context, writing personas, and user preferences.

Its separate website also allows users to provide expertise and style settings.

Its privacy policy describes supporting voice training from user-provided writing samples.

Which Produces Better Comments?

We haven't performed a controlled comparison proving one generates better comments consistently.

Both products can produce useful writing.

Both may occasionally need correction.

Eplie's advantage is that users have more explicitly documented ways to improve the result without starting over.

Both products advertise free access.

But their publicly available pricing information isn't equally detailed.

Eplie Pricing

Eplie's Chrome Web Store lists:

Free: Limited access.

Pro Monthly: $14.99 per month.

Pro Annual: $143.88 per year.

Check Eplie's current pricing page for usage limits and subscription details.

Gromming Pricing

Gromming's current homepage advertises a free tier and paid plans.

Its February 2026 comparison article and a separate blog article updated in March 2026 describe a free allowance of 30 comments per month.

However, the current homepage does not clearly display the paid plan amounts or detailed allowances in publicly retrievable text.

We couldn't verify a current monthly or annual paid price.

Which Is Cheaper?

An exact paid price comparison isn't possible until Gromming's current checkout is confirmed.

Eplie's published Pro price is $14.99 per month.

Gromming advertises free access, but its current paid pricing needs verification.

What Should You Check Before Buying?

Compare the number of drafts included, whether replies use the same allowance, and whether editing or additional generations count toward usage.

Also check which voice preferences and writing features are included in each plan.

A subscription only makes sense if the features you actually use justify the cost.

Pricing reviewed November 9, 2026. Verify the live checkout before publishing or purchasing.

Both products describe manual publishing.

Eplie prepares a draft when requested, but you decide what to post.

Gromming also says users review and manually publish their comments.

Neither should be described as automatically publishing on the user's behalf based on the current documented workflows.

What Does Gromming Access?

Gromming's Chrome listing says it processes the public post or comment selected by the user.

Its privacy policy also describes account details, voice samples, writing preferences, usage analytics, and technical data.

It states that LinkedIn credentials and private messages aren't collected.

What About Eplie?

Eplie's current Chrome listing says it reads a post when the user requests a draft rather than scanning the entire feed in the background.

For exact data handling details, users should review its privacy policy.

Are These Extensions Officially Approved by LinkedIn?

Neither should be presented as an official LinkedIn product.

LinkedIn's published rules prohibit certain third party extensions that scrape content, modify its interface, or automate activity.

Manual publishing does not automatically make an extension compliant with every LinkedIn policy.

Users should review the current rules and permissions before using either extension.

Gromming may suit you better if:

You mostly want complete generated comments.

Click Comment with AI and review the result directly inside LinkedIn.

You like selecting ready-made writing personas.

Gromming offers seven named options, from Analyst and Curious to Comedian and Quick Win Provider.

You want a direct reply button.

Gromming provides Reply with AI next to supported LinkedIn comments.

You like comments that mention the person you're answering.

Gromming's reply workflow explicitly supports using the comment author's name.

You want a separate website generator too.

Gromming offers a web form where you can supply post text, thread context, expertise, and writing preferences manually.

You prefer persona-driven writing over detailed editing controls.

Its approach may suit you if you want to choose a response style and generate a complete draft without much further editing.

These are genuine reasons someone might prefer Gromming.
