LinkedIn Profile Monitoring Tools After Trigify: 9 Compared
Trigify's Profile Monitoring stopped on 22 October 2026. Nine tools that watch named LinkedIn profiles, split by the job you need (new posts, who engaged, job changes), with who logs in, how often each refreshes, the price each site showed today, and a rebuild table for your old profile list.
A LinkedIn profile monitoring tool watches named people and company pages and tells you when something happens: a new post, reactions to it, or a job change. Trigify's Profile Monitoring did this until access ended on 22 October 2026. The replacement depends on the job. To act on who engages with the posts of people you watch, with LinkedIn outreach built in, look at Intentsly, Jungler or Teamfluence. For job-change alerts, Sales Navigator or UserGems. To watch posts and reply yourself, Extrovert or OutX. For a scripted set-up, Apify.
This is one article in a series of Trigify alternatives sorted by the job you used it for. It covers one job only: watching specific profiles. If your Trigify set-up was mostly Social Signals on post engagement, the Trigify replacement for LinkedIn engagement tracking goes deeper on that side.
What did Trigify's Profile Monitoring do, and what stopped on 22 October 2026?
Trigify's own help centre described Profile Monitoring as tracking new content from a specific source you chose by name: a person, a company page, a channel or a publication. The sources it listed were business network profiles, X accounts, YouTube channels, Substack publications and podcasts. You picked the source when you knew exactly who to follow, and used a keyword search when you wanted posts from many authors on a topic. Trigify's Profile Monitoring article and the Create Profile Monitoring Search node took four inputs: a search name, a source type, a profile URL and a check frequency.
Two details from the help centre matter for the rebuild. Profiles were added one at a time in the Listening screen; Trigify's FAQ on bulk uploads said there was no bulk upload, and offered a webhook trigger or the MCP as workarounds. Company pages went into the same Profile Monitoring list as people, per the company pages FAQ. So most customers had a hand-built list of people and pages, and that list is what you are now rebuilding somewhere else.
On 23 September 2026 Trigify announced that its team was joining HubSpot and that the standalone platform was being retired. For customers on standard notice, access ended at 11:59pm BST on 22 October 2026, and with it monitoring, signal collection, integrations and API access. Accounts were not migrated to HubSpot. If your contract gave you a longer notice period and you still have access, export your profile list and signal history now using the export options in the product, or email hugo@trigify.io for help, as the announcement suggested. The team built something people liked, which is why so many of its customers are now searching for a replacement rather than dropping the habit.
Which profile monitoring job are you replacing?
"Profile monitoring" covers three different jobs, and no single tool below does all three well. Decide which one you had before reading the list.
| Job | What you want to know | Typical Trigify set-up | Best fits below |
|---|---|---|---|
| New posts from named people or pages | "Did this prospect, competitor or leader post today, and what about?" | Profile Monitoring search on a person or company page | Extrovert, OutX, Apify, Sales Navigator |
| Who engaged with those posts | "Who liked or commented on the posts of the profiles I watch, so I can start a conversation?" | Profile Monitoring feeding a Social Signals workflow | Intentsly, Jungler, Teamfluence |
| Job and profile changes | "Did this champion, customer or prospect change company or title?" | Not a Trigify job; usually done in a CRM tool or Sales Navigator | Sales Navigator, UserGems, Apify, PageCrawl (company pages) |
A quick rule: if the next step after the alert is a LinkedIn message, you want the second job and a tool that scores and sends. If the next step is a CRM update or a call from the account owner, you want the third job. If you read the posts yourself and comment by hand, the first job is enough and the cheapest tools win.
LinkedIn profile monitoring tools compared
Prices are what each vendor's own site showed on 24 October 2026, linked in the last column; plans change, so check before you buy. "Logs in as you" means the tool runs on your LinkedIn session through an extension or cookie.
| Tool | Job it covers | Watches | Logs in as you? | Refresh | Price shown on its site | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intentsly | Engagers on named profiles and pages, plus outreach | Posts from named competitors and leaders, keyword posts, hashtags, company page followers and engagers | Up to 2 LinkedIn accounts connected for outreach | As signals are detected | Not stated here; 7-day free trial | intentsly.com/features/linkedin-signals |
| LinkedIn Sales Navigator | New posts and job changes on saved leads | Saved leads and accounts | It is LinkedIn | LinkedIn's own alerts | No prices on the product page; three plans | business.linkedin.com |
| Jungler | Engagers on any profile, enriched | Any profile, company page or keyword search ("signals") | No: "no cookies, no browser extension, no logins" | Within 24 hours of the engagement | Starter $99, Discovery $199, Growth $299 (labelled yearly); 5, 15 or 40 signals | jungler.ai/pricing |
| Teamfluence | Engagers on posts you pick from tracked influencers, plus your team's posts | Influencer profiles (up to six per active seat), competitor posts, ads | Not stated on its site | Tracking window usually two months per post | 449 EUR a month with 1,000 qualified leads, unlimited seats | teamfluence.com/pricing |
| Extrovert | New posts from prospects, with comment and DM drafts | Prospect profiles and topics | Yes, per LinkedIn seat | Not stated | $49 per LinkedIn seat a month; 250 prospects, 1 topic, 300 credits; 10-day trial | goextrovert.com |
| OutX | Profile and company watchlists, keywords | Profiles and companies you save from LinkedIn | Yes: "runs through your real LinkedIn session" | Not stated | Base extension free; auto-engagement and high volume on paid plans | outx.ai/chrome-extension |
| Apify LinkedIn People Watcher | Job changes and new posts on a list of profile URLs | Profile URLs you supply | No; uses a third-party LinkedIn data API | Your schedule: daily, twice daily or weekly | From $6.00 per 1,000 profile URLs, plus API credits; marked Deprecated | apify.com |
| UserGems | Job changes of customers and prospects, into the CRM | Contacts in your CRM and calendar | No | Ongoing | Core $40,000 a year, Advanced $75,000, Elite $150,000, plus implementation | usergems.com/pricing |
| PageCrawl | Changes on public company pages | Public LinkedIn company pages and job listings | No | Every 5 minutes to daily (under one hour needs a paid plan) | Free to start; paid plans not listed on the tool page | pagecrawl.io |
Several tools from the pages ranking for this search are missing on purpose. Brand24, Mentionkit, Octolens and the other listening tools track keywords and brand mentions across public posts; useful, but they do not take a person's profile as input, so they are covered in the Trigify alternative for social listening instead. Socialinsider and the analytics tools report on company page metrics and do not alert you about people.
What each LinkedIn profile monitoring tool does well, and where it is the wrong choice
1. Intentsly: engagers on the profiles you watch, scored and messaged
Intentsly covers the second job. You name the competitor and industry-leader profiles and company pages that matter, and it captures the people who like, comment on or share their posts, plus people posting on your keywords and hashtags and the followers and engagers of competitor pages. Every person is scored against your ideal customer profile and enriched with a verified email, and the AI SDR opens the LinkedIn conversation, keeps it going and sends your Cal.com or Google Calendar link so the lead books the meeting. We ran this on our own launch and booked 14 qualified demos in 14 days with zero manual outreach, at a reply rate 4x our previous cold campaigns.
Where it is the wrong choice: Intentsly does not alert you when a watched person changes jobs or edits their headline, and it does not monitor X, Reddit, YouTube, Substack or podcasts, sources that Trigify's help centre listed. HubSpot is the only CRM integration. Outreach runs through up to 2 LinkedIn accounts per plan, with a hard cap of 30 messages and 30 connection requests per account per day (15 is the recommended pace), so a team that wants to message 200 people a day from one seat should look elsewhere. If the job is to read a leader's posts and comment thoughtfully yourself, Extrovert is cheaper and built for exactly that.
2. LinkedIn Sales Navigator: the official route for saved leads
Sales Navigator is the one option that is LinkedIn itself. Save the people and accounts you care about as leads and accounts and LinkedIn's product page says you are notified "when the leads you've saved have important updates, like a job or role change". Relationship Explorer surfaces job changes and recent posts for saved leads. Content-engagement alerts, which tell you when a decision-maker at a saved account interacts with your content or ads, are listed on the Advanced Plus plan.
Where it is the wrong choice: alerts stay inside LinkedIn, there is no export of who engaged with a competitor's post, and the content-engagement alerts concern your content, not theirs. Prices are not on the product page; LinkedIn points to its compare-plans page. For a seller who already pays for Sales Navigator and wants job-change alerts on a few hundred contacts, it is the first thing to switch on before buying anything else.
3. Jungler: enriched engagers without your login
Jungler's homepage headline is "See who engages with your competitors", and it says you can "Track any profile". Each engager comes back enriched with email, region, company size, industry, title and seniority, within 24 hours of the engagement, and goes to Clay, Slack, Google Sheets, HeyReach, lemlist, Instantly, Smartlead, Expandi or a webhook. It states plainly that it needs "No cookies, no browser extension, no logins". Jungler's pricing page lists Starter at $99, Discovery at $199 and Growth at $299, labelled yearly, with 5, 15 or 40 signals, where one signal is a profile, a company page or a keyword search, and a 7-day trial.
Where it is the wrong choice: Jungler returns the people and stops. Writing and sending the message is yours or your sequencer's job, and the signal count on the Starter plan means a Trigify list of 30 profiles will not fit. If you already run HeyReach, lemlist or Smartlead and want leads pushed in, it is the natural fit; the Trigify alternative for Smartlead and HeyReach walks through that wiring.
4. Teamfluence: your team's posts first, influencers second
Teamfluence's core is your own team's LinkedIn activity, with tracked profiles added on top. In its influencer monitoring help page, you add an influencer by profile URL, then choose which of their surfaced posts to track; adding a profile does not track all of its posts automatically. Everyone who reacts to or comments on a tracked post lands in the People view as a signal, tracking runs for about two months per post and can be renewed, and the limit is six influencers per active seat. Teamfluence's pricing page shows 449 EUR a month including 1,000 qualified leads and unlimited seats, with price matching and a free migration service offered to Trigify customers.
Where it is the wrong choice: six influencers per seat and post-by-post selection make it a poor home for a long watch list of competitors. It fits a team that posts regularly, wants to route engagers into HubSpot or a sequencer and watches a handful of leaders. The Trigify vs Teamfluence comparison covers the CRM side.
5. Extrovert: watch prospects' posts and reply in their comments
Extrovert covers the first job for sellers who comment rather than DM cold. It monitors the posts of the prospects you add and the topics you pick, drafts comments and messages, and runs per LinkedIn seat. On Extrovert's own site the price is $49 per LinkedIn seat a month, including 250 prospects, 1 topic and 300 credits, with a 10-day trial that needs no card.
Where it is the wrong choice: it works through your seat, so each rep's own account does the watching, and 250 prospects per seat is the ceiling before more credits. It does not capture who engaged with a competitor's posts and does not track job changes. For a founder who wants to stay visible in 50 prospects' comment sections every week, it is the cheapest serious option on this list.
6. OutX: a watchlist built from your own LinkedIn browsing
OutX is a Chrome extension. On its extension page it says you can "Save contacts in 1 click and start monitoring them inside OutX.ai" from a profile, company page or Sales Navigator result, that saved items sync to a dashboard and can be pushed to HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive, and that it "runs through your real LinkedIn session" without asking for a password or cookies. The base extension is free; auto-engagement and high-volume scraping sit on paid plans, which that page does not price.
Where it is the wrong choice: everything depends on your own browsing session, so the watchlist grows only as fast as you click, and automation on your own account is where LinkedIn's rules bite. It suits an individual who wants a free way to keep tabs on 20 to 40 profiles and already uses one of the three CRMs it pushes to.
7. Apify LinkedIn People Watcher: the scripted option, with a warning
For teams that rebuilt Trigify workflows in Clay or their own scripts, the LinkedIn People Watcher actor on Apify takes a list of profile URLs and email recipients, runs on a schedule you set (daily, twice daily or weekly), and emails you when it detects a job_change (company, title or role) or a new_post. Pricing is shown from $6.00 per 1,000 profile URLs plus API credits per profile fetched, and the data comes from a third-party LinkedIn data API rather than your login.
Where it is the wrong choice: the actor's page carries a "Deprecated" label as of 24 October 2026, so treat it as a pattern to copy rather than a product to depend on. Any Apify or Clay set-up also leaves you to build the scoring and the outreach. The guide to rebuilding Trigify workflows in Clay covers that path.
8. UserGems: job changes of customers and champions, at enterprise scale
UserGems does one job thoroughly. Its contact tracking page says it monitors your customer, user and prospect contacts for job changes, creates a new contact at the new company with title, email and phone, links it to the old record and marks the old one as no longer there, with alerts by email, Slack or Salesforce task. UserGems' pricing is annual: Core $40,000, Advanced $75,000 and Elite $150,000 a year, with implementation fees from $3k to $10k, and no individual plans.
Where it is the wrong choice: for a company of 1 to 200 people replacing a Trigify subscription, the price alone rules it out, and it does not watch posts or engagement at all. It belongs on this list because job-change tracking is the one profile monitoring job the small tools do badly, and it shows what the full version looks like.
9. PageCrawl: company page edits only
PageCrawl's LinkedIn page monitor watches a public company page or job listing and alerts you to new job postings, changes to the About section, headcount shifts and leadership title changes, checking anywhere from every 5 minutes to daily (under one hour needs a paid plan), with instant, daily or weekly digests. It is free to start.
Where it is the wrong choice: it only takes public company pages, so personal profiles are out, and it says nothing about who engaged with a post. It is the right tool for the "did my competitor just open a sales office in Berlin" question, and nothing else on this list answers that one. The guide to monitoring competitors on LinkedIn shows the manual version of the same checks.
How do you rebuild your Trigify profile list in the new tool?
Your Trigify Profile Monitoring list was a set of URLs with a source type and a check frequency. Here is how each object maps onto the replacements, so you can paste the export into the right place.
| Trigify object | Intentsly | Jungler | Teamfluence | Sales Navigator | Extrovert / OutX |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profile Monitoring search on a person | Competitor or industry-leader profile in LinkedIn Signals | One signal (profile) | One influencer per seat slot, then pick posts | Saved lead | Prospect (Extrovert) or watchlist item (OutX) |
| Profile Monitoring search on a company page | Competitor page (followers and engagers) | One signal (company page) | Tracked competitor post | Saved account | Watchlist item (OutX) |
| Keyword Listening search on LinkedIn | Keyword posts or hashtag engagement | One signal (keyword search) | Keyword signal | Not a Sales Navigator feature | Topic (Extrovert) or keyword (OutX) |
| Check frequency | As detected | Within 24 hours | Per tracked post, about two months | LinkedIn alerts | Not stated |
| Workflow node to HubSpot | Native HubSpot integration | Webhook or Clay | Not stated on its pricing or help pages | Account import from your CRM; alerts stay in LinkedIn | OutX pushes to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive |
| X, YouTube, Substack, podcast sources | Not covered | Not covered | Not covered | Not covered | Not covered |
Four steps before you import anything:
- Sort the old list by job. A competitor you watched for engagers goes to the second-job tool; a champion you watched for a job change goes to Sales Navigator or your CRM tool; a leader whose posts you read goes to Extrovert or OutX.
- Count the people and pages per job and check them against the limits above: 2 sender accounts and daily caps on Intentsly, 5 to 40 signals on Jungler, six influencers per seat on Teamfluence, 250 prospects per seat on Extrovert.
- Write down the check frequency you actually used in Trigify. If it was daily or slower, a tool that refreshes within 24 hours loses you nothing.
- Decide who sends the message when a signal lands, before the first one does. If the answer is "nobody has time", pick a tool that sends; Intentsly's AI SDR takes the scored engagers from the profiles you watch and runs the LinkedIn conversation through to the booked meeting, inside the daily caps, so the watch list produces meetings instead of a backlog.
What do you say when a watched profile posts?
The engagement message is covered in the engagement tracking article. The other common moment is a watched leader or prospect publishing a post you have something to add to. It goes in the comments rather than in a message, and it is ours; change only the brackets.
[One specific observation about the post's point, in one sentence.] We saw the
same with [your customers' situation]: [the one detail you know that the post
did not mention]. Curious whether you found [open question tied to their point].
Keep it under 60 words, post within the first hours while the comments are still read, never link to your site, and move to a message only after the second real exchange. The LinkedIn message templates for buying signals cover what to send once a comment turns into a conversation.
What to do next
Pick the job first, then the tool. If what you miss from Trigify is the stream of people engaging with the competitors and leaders you watched, and a message going out to the good ones, try Intentsly's AI with your own competitor list: it shows matching buyers with no account, and the 7-day free trial covers the first week of outreach. If what you miss is job-change alerts, switch on Sales Navigator alerts today, and if you mostly read posts and reply, start Extrovert's trial. Whichever you choose, do it from the sorted list above rather than the raw export, so the new tool starts with the right 30 profiles instead of all 300.
FAQ
Can I monitor a LinkedIn profile without the person knowing?
Watching someone's public posts and who engages with them leaves no trace, because reading a public post is not a profile view. Opening their profile page does, unless you use LinkedIn's private mode. Tools that say they run on their own data (Jungler, Apify, UserGems) do not visit the profile as you; extensions that run on your session (OutX, Extrovert) act as your account.
Does LinkedIn notify you when someone follows or views a profile?
LinkedIn shows you viewers of your own profile (how many and who depends on your plan) and your own new followers. It does not tell you who viewed or followed someone else's profile. No third-party tool on this list claims to see another person's profile viewers either, so treat any product that promises that as a warning sign.
How do I get an alert when a specific person posts on LinkedIn?
The free route is LinkedIn's own bell icon on their profile, which notifies you of their posts. At scale, Sales Navigator surfaces recent posts from saved leads, Extrovert and OutX watch the prospects you add from your seat, and the Apify People Watcher pattern emails you on a schedule. If what you really want is the people engaging with those posts, use a signal tool instead.
Can a LinkedIn profile monitoring tool track when a prospect changes jobs?
Yes, but it is a separate job from post monitoring. Sales Navigator alerts you to job or role changes on saved leads, UserGems does it across your whole CRM at enterprise prices, and the Apify actor detects a job_change on listed URLs. Intentsly, Jungler, Teamfluence and Extrovert do not alert on job changes; they watch posts and engagement.
Is using a LinkedIn profile monitoring tool against LinkedIn's rules?
LinkedIn's terms restrict automation and scraping on its platform, and a tool that runs on your own session (an extension or cookie) puts your account at risk if it automates actions. Tools that use their own data sources keep your account out of it, but you should still read how each vendor collects data; several sites on this list do not say. Keep daily message volumes low whichever tool you use.
What happened to the profiles I monitored in Trigify?
Trigify's announcement said customer data is retained or deleted according to its contractual, privacy and legal obligations and is not used by HubSpot. Accounts were not migrated. If you exported before 22 October 2026, your profile list is in that export; if not, and you are not on a longer notice period, rebuild it from your CRM, your competitor list and the followers you remember engaging with.
