The short answer
Both sides assessedCornersight compared with Trigify
Trigify was the closest equivalent in this category until its team joined HubSpot in September 2026; the standalone platform shuts on 22 October 2026 with no migration path. It listened across LinkedIn, X, Reddit and YouTube from $40 a month. Cornersight covers LinkedIn engagement only, from $99 a month, but with daily re-syncs, per-person credits and a native HeyReach push. For a team whose Trigify motion was LinkedIn engagement, Cornersight is the direct replacement; for Reddit and community listening, add Syften.
Trigify compared with Cornersight
Cornersight is the closest live replacement for Trigify's LinkedIn engagement motion. It captures everyone who likes or comments on tracked profiles, company pages, single posts and keyword searches, re-syncs daily, enriches each person, and delivers leads into HeyReach, webhooks, a REST API, an MCP server or a CLI from $99 a month, without connecting to your LinkedIn account. It does not cover Trigify's X, Reddit and YouTube listening, so pair it with Syften if community conversations mattered to you.
Choose Cornersight if
Outbound teams and GTM agencies selling into markets where buyers are active on LinkedIn, who want a steady list of people engaging with competitors, industry voices or relevant topics delivered into their own sequencer or CRM, and technical operators who want those leads available to scripts or AI agents through an API or MCP.
Choose Trigify if
Founder-led and small sales teams selling into markets where buyers are visibly active on LinkedIn, X, or Reddit, agencies running signal-based outbound for several clients at once, and technical GTM operators who want signals available through an API or MCP rather than trapped in a vendor dashboard.

| Setup time | Minutes to the first source: sign in with Google, paste a LinkedIn profile, company page or post URL, or enter keywords, and leads appear progressively during the first sync. Tuning ICP filters and caps takes a few days of watching what comes in. | An afternoon. Create an account, define one listening search against a competitor's post or a topic, connect Slack, and run a historical backfill. Getting a workflow with sensible ICP filters into production is more like a week of iteration. |
| Learning curve | Low. Most of the value comes from choosing sources whose audience matches your ICP, and the Engagement Agent can set those up from a list of topics. | Moderate, and the difficulty is judgement rather than software. Building searches is easy; deciding which engagement actually indicates intent, and resisting the urge to sequence everyone the tool finds, is the skill that determines whether the tool works. |

Strengths and limitations
Cornersight
Strengths
- Engagement-based lists reach people who are active on LinkedIn right now, which a filter on recent posters misses because most users react far more than they post.
- No LinkedIn account connection, so there is no session to hand over and no restriction risk on the buyer's own profile.
- A credit model tied to unique people per source, with free fetching and free failed lookups, keeps the bill tied to prospects rather than activity.
- Daily re-syncs capture engagement that arrives days after a post goes live, not just a snapshot at the moment of tracking.
Limitations
- LinkedIn only; buyers who are quiet there, or active elsewhere, produce no signal.
- No job-change, funding, hiring or website-visitor signals, so it covers one slice of the intent landscape.
- Launched in January 2026 and rebuilt in May, so the track record is months long and the product is still changing quickly.
- No published SOC 2, SSO or data-residency options, which rules it out for formal enterprise procurement.
Trigify
Strengths
- Person-level social and community signals with a name attached, which is a fundamentally warmer starting point than an anonymous account-level intent score.
- A $40 entry price in a category where the established players start at thousands of dollars a month, which is the difference between a startup running a signal motion and not running one.
- Historical replay and backtesting let you start with a year of accumulated signals rather than waiting for new activity, so time to first value is days rather than a quarter.
- The API, CLI, and MCP server are unusual at this price and make Trigify usable as a data source inside a custom stack rather than only as an app.
Limitations
- The signal is only as good as your market's public behaviour, and entire industries are effectively invisible to it.
- A like or comment is a weak intent signal on its own, and the volume Trigify can produce makes it easy to build a high-volume, low-relevance outbound motion if you skip the filtering work.
- Public social platforms change their access rules regularly, which is a structural risk for any vendor whose core dataset is scraped from them.
- No website visitor identification, no product usage ingestion, and no third-party intent feed, so it covers one slice of the signal landscape rather than the whole picture.
Pricing compared
Cornersight
Self-serve monthly plans metered in credits, where one credit is one unique person per monitor, with a free trial on every plan and spend caps per source, per search, per team and for the Engagement Agent.
- Starter$99
- Growth$169
- Pro$329
- Scale$599
Cornersight is good value for a team whose buyers live on LinkedIn. $99 a month buys 15,000 unique, enriched engagers, with every delivery route included on every plan, and the per-person credit definition means heavy repeat engagement does not inflate the bill. Against a manual workflow of exporting post engagers and enriching them separately, it pays for itself in hours saved within the first week. The limits are scope and maturity rather than price: one network, no company-level events, and a product less than a year old.
Trigify
Self-serve credit-based subscription with per-plan caps on listening searches, workflows, and seats, plus published per-credit overage.
- Starter$40
- Max$199
- EnterpriseCustom
Trigify is the cheapest credible way to run a signal-based motion, and the gap is not small. Starter at $40 a month buys person-level social signals, job change detection, enrichment, and workflow routing in a category where the recognised leaders start at $2,500 a month and $40,000 a year. Max at $199 with 40,000 credits and full API, CLI, and MCP access is arguably underpriced for what a technical team can build on top of it. The value case breaks only if your buyers are not publicly active, in which case no amount of cheap listening produces anything worth acting on. Judged against tools that own the same signal type, this is the best capability per dollar available to a small business.
Editorial verdict on each
Cornersight
Best ValueCornersight is the tool to buy if your buyers are active on LinkedIn and you want the people engaging with your competitors, your category voices or your own content as enriched leads every morning. It does one signal thoroughly, re-syncs daily so late engagement is not lost, charges per unique person rather than per interaction, never touches your LinkedIn account, and delivers into HeyReach, a CRM or an AI agent on every plan from $99 a month. Its limits are clear: one network, no company-level events, and a product less than a year old with no compliance paperwork. With Trigify closing, it is the most direct replacement in this category for a LinkedIn engagement motion, and the free trial makes testing it on a handful of competitor profiles a low-risk afternoon.

Trigify is closing: its team joined HubSpot in September 2026 and the standalone platform shuts at 11:59pm BST on 22 October 2026, with no migration path, so it is no longer something to buy. While it ran, it was the cheapest credible way into signal-based selling, listening across LinkedIn, X, Reddit and YouTube for person-level signals from $40 a month and delivering them into a CRM, Slack or an AI agent. Existing customers should export their data now. For LinkedIn engagement, move to Cornersight, which covers the same post, profile and keyword motion with daily re-syncs from $99 a month; for community listening, Syften; for company-level hiring and job-change signals, TheirStack or PredictLeads.
