Short answer
What are the best LinkedIn buying signal tools in 2026?
For most founders and small teams, Bingle is our pick: it watches LinkedIn for buying signals, ranks who fits and writes each message for your OK, from US$49 a month after 7 free days with no card. Valley (from $199 a seat) and Gojiberry ($99/mo) also do signal-led outreach at a higher price, while Teamfluence and Embers watch engagement and pass leads to the tools you already use. Sales Navigator (from US$119.99/mo) covers job changes on leads you've saved but won't show who engages with a competitor's posts, and Common Room and Unify suit bigger teams that want LinkedIn as one feed among many.
Eight LinkedIn buying signal tools, checked 24 October 2026
What a buying signal is, and how long each kind lasts, is in our guide to LinkedIn buying signals; this page sticks to the tools. Trigify isn't listed because its app has closed (Trigify alternative).
How we compared
We read each tool's own pricing, product and help pages on 24 October 2026 and kept only what those pages say, with links under Sources. We didn't run paid trials, so check anything that matters to you on a free trial before you buy.
We make Bingle, so weigh its entry and our pick with that in mind. The order isn't a ranking: each tool says who it suits and where it falls short.

1. Valley
Sales teams that want signals, research and sending in one place · From $199/seat/mo, or $149/mo billed quarterly
Valley is an AI outbound platform built around signals: LinkedIn profile viewers, engagers on your posts, competitor post engagers, job changes, hiring and funding. It qualifies each person against your ICP, researches them, drafts in your voice and sends on LinkedIn once you approve.
Its competitor engagers page quotes five monitored profiles at the entry price. Plus ($299 a seat) and Growth ($499) add 1,000 emails a month. Credits pay for finding prospects and verifying emails, while LinkedIn sending is included. It connects to HubSpot, and to Claude and ChatGPT over MCP.
Watch out for: Pricing is per seat, with one LinkedIn account each, so three reps on Starter cost $597 a month before credits. The 7-day trial needs a payment method, and the 15-45% reply rates on its homepage are Valley's own figures.
2. Gojiberry
Founders who want an AI agent working LinkedIn and email · $99/mo (Pro); 7-day trial with a card
Gojiberry builds an AI agent from your website and feeds it signals. Its help centre lists competitor engagement, keyword topics, engagement with influencers in your market, people who already interacted with you, job changes in the last 90 days, new decision makers, funding and hiring, plus tech stack and website visitors.
Pro is $99 a month for 2 agents and up to 1,800 prospects contacted a month, with email and phone enrichment and HubSpot, Pipedrive, Attio and Claude integrations. Teams of three or more get a custom plan (Bingle vs Gojiberry).
Watch out for: An agent holds up to 15 signals but runs 3 to 4 times a day, one signal per run, so with all 15 on it revisits each only every four or five days. The trial asks for a card.
3. Bingle
Founders and small teams who sell on LinkedIn · 7 days free, no card; then from US$49/mo
Bingle watches LinkedIn for people liking and commenting on the posts of competitors and influencers you name, engaging with your posts or posts on your topic, viewing your profile and starting a new role, and for companies hiring sales people, raising a round or heading to an event. It keeps the people who fit your ideal customer, ranks them by fit and timing, and shows each lead's signal with its date and a link.
It writes each message from that signal in your voice and waits for your OK unless you switch review off, then sends from your own LinkedIn in your working hours, inside LinkedIn's limits. It never sees your LinkedIn password, and it also runs inside Claude and ChatGPT (how that works).
Starter is US$49/mo for one LinkedIn account, Growth US$79/mo with every signal, and Agency US$149/mo with up to 3 accounts. Yearly billing is 10 months for 12 (pricing).
Watch out for: LinkedIn only: no email sending, contact database, phone numbers or self-serve CRM integration, so leads leave by CSV export or through the Claude and ChatGPT connector.
4. Teamfluence
Teams with many active LinkedIn profiles · From €259/mo (Small plan); no free trial
Teamfluence, based in Tallinn, collects likes, comments, follows, profile visits and new connections around everyone on your team and your company page, plus tracked competitor posts, influencers and keywords. It checks each person against your ICP, finds contact details and sends them to HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, a webhook or a CSV.
Since 1 October 2026 it charges for leads, not seats: €259 a month for 500 qualified leads on the Small plan, €449 for 1,000 on Regular. Trigify customers get a free migration with a price match.
Watch out for: No trial and no self-serve sign-up; every customer starts with a sales call. It pays off with many active team profiles, less so for a solo founder. Job changes, hiring and funding aren't listed among its signals.
5. Embers
Solo founders who want a ranked list and will send themselves · From $39/mo billed yearly ($49 monthly)
Embers watches public LinkedIn profiles you choose (yours, competitors, influencers or teammates), phrases your buyers post about and replies to your comments. Once a day it ranks who it finds against an ICP drafted from your website, shows why each surfaced and drafts an opener for you.
It needs no LinkedIn login and never sends anything on LinkedIn; leads go to Slack, HubSpot, Google Sheets, HeyReach, Instantly or a webhook, and there's an MCP server. Solo covers 5 watched profiles and 10 keywords; Growth ($79/mo yearly) has 10 profiles and unlimited members. The trial needs no card and ends at 2,000 engagers or day 7.
Watch out for: Profile views, job changes, hiring and funding aren't among its signals, and you need something else to send. Contact details come only with the first paid month.
6. LinkedIn Sales Navigator
Reps who want LinkedIn's own alerts and search filters · From US$119.99/mo (Core), or US$1,079.88/yr
Sales Navigator is LinkedIn's own sales product. Alerts cover saved leads changing jobs, posting, viewing your profile or engaging with your content, and saved accounts raising money or making senior hires. Search spotlights find people who changed jobs in the last 90 days or posted in the last 30.
Advanced (US$159.99/mo a seat) adds Buyer Intent, which scores accounts on 180+ signals of interest in your company, such as reacting to your posts or following your page. Free trials take payment details.
Watch out for: It won't show who engages with a competitor's or influencer's posts, which is what most people mean by this search. Alerts cover only what you've saved, and you send everything yourself.
7. Common Room
Larger GTM teams joining many signal sources · From $2,500/mo, billed annually
Common Room joins buyer signals from many sources into one profile per person and account: website, CRM, community, job changes, Bombora topic surges and more. On LinkedIn it reads posts, comments and reactions on your own company page, importing the last 30 days when you connect and new activity within about 30 minutes.
Essential is $2,500 a month billed annually, with 5 seats and up to 100,000 contacts, an MCP server and CRM and Slack integrations.
Watch out for: Its LinkedIn coverage is your own company page: personal profiles can't be connected, followers can't be imported, and its docs say nothing about competitors' posts. At $30,000 a year it's priced for revenue teams, not founders.
8. Unify
Email-first outbound teams adding social signals · Free plan; paid from $20/seat/mo
Unify is an outbound platform with a data marketplace, sequences and a dialer. Its signals catalogue lists a LinkedIn and social engagement feed from a vendor called Autobound (post engagement, page views, profile follows) next to job changes, hiring, funding and website intent.
The free plan covers up to 3 seats with limited credits. Base is $20 a seat a month with 800 credits and job change and hiring signals; Pro is $60 a seat with 2,400 credits and a 14-day trial with no card.
Watch out for: It's built around email, and LinkedIn engagement arrives through a bought data feed, not from posts you pick. Signals spend credits, and complex runs cost well above the 1-credit average.
Our pick
Pick Bingle if you sell on LinkedIn and want the whole job in one place. It finds the people showing a buying signal, checks them against your ideal customer, ranks them by fit and timing with the reason shown, and writes the message for you to approve. It also costs less than Valley and Gojiberry, the two others here that send the outreach as well as spotting the signal.
The rest make sense in narrower cases: a signal feed for a CRM you already run, or LinkedIn as one source among many for a larger team.
Which signals each tool watches
What each tool's own site or help centre lists on 24 October 2026. "Not listed" means we couldn't find it there, not that the tool can't do it.
| Tool | Competitor or influencer post engagers | Your posts and profile views | Job changes | Hiring and funding | Keyword posts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bingle | Yes | Both | Yes | Yes, plus events | Yes, posts on your topic |
| Valley | Yes | Both | Yes | Yes | Keyword engagement |
| Gojiberry | Yes, competitor pages and influencers | People who engaged with you; profile visitors by import | Yes, last 90 days | Yes | Topic engagement |
| Teamfluence | Yes | Both, across your whole team and company page | Not listed | Not listed | Yes |
| Embers | Yes, any public profile you add | Your posts and comment threads; profile views not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Yes |
| Sales Navigator | No | Saved leads who view your profile or engage with your content | Yes | Funding and senior hires at saved accounts | Saved leads' posts |
| Common Room | Not in its docs | Your company page | Yes | Not listed for LinkedIn | Not listed for LinkedIn |
| Unify | Post engagement through a third-party feed | Not stated | Yes | Yes | Not listed |
The table can't show how often each tool looks: Embers once a day, Bingle every 6 hours by default, a Gojiberry agent 3 to 4 times a day, Common Room within about 30 minutes for company page activity. Engagement goes stale within a couple of weeks, so daily is fine and weekly is too slow.
Nor whether it needs your LinkedIn login. Embers doesn't; tools that read your profile views or send for you do, which is where account risk comes in.
How to test signal quality in a trial
Most of these trials last 7 days, so prepare before you sign up. Bingle and Embers start without a card, Valley and Gojiberry ask for one, and Teamfluence has no trial. This test fits in a week.
- Build an answer key first: a competitor post from the last fortnight, an influencer post in your category and one of your own, with 10 people who engaged with each. That's 30 names you know are real.
- Set the tool up with the same accounts. On day two or three, check how many of the 30 it found, and how many days after the like or comment it showed them.
- Mark its first 50 leads yes or no: would you message this person? Judge fit, not the signal. If fewer than half are yes, it will spend your week on the wrong people.
- Count the noise in those 50: the competitor's staff, its agencies and partners, other vendors, recruiters and job seekers. A good tool removes most of them first.
- Follow the signal link on five leads. It should land on the real post or event, with a date. If a tool can't show why someone is on the list, you can't write a decent first line.
- Someone who engaged with two competitors should appear once, with both signals, and rank higher for it.
- Send 20 messages. Twenty won't prove a reply rate, but it shows whether the drafts sound like you and whether the people ranked highest accept.
What it costs for one person, and for a team of three
List prices on 24 October 2026, in each site's currency, before tax and credits.
| Tool | 1 person, per month | 3 people, per month | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bingle | US$49 (Starter) or US$79 (Growth) | US$137 (Growth plus 2 extra LinkedIn accounts at US$29) or US$149 (Agency) | 7 days free, no card |
| Valley | $199, or $149 billed quarterly | $597, or $447 billed quarterly | Starter; email sending is an add-on |
| Gojiberry | $99 (Pro) | Custom plan for teams of 3+ | Pro covers 2 agents and 1,800 prospects contacted |
| Teamfluence | €259 | €259 | Seats aren't charged; the price follows qualified leads |
| Embers | $39 billed yearly, $49 monthly | $79 billed yearly, $99 monthly (Growth) | Doesn't send; budget for a sending tool |
| Sales Navigator | US$119.99 (Core) | US$359.97 on Core, US$479.97 on Advanced | Buyer Intent is on Advanced only |
| Common Room | $2,500, billed annually | $2,500, billed annually | 5 seats included |
| Unify | $0 to $60 | $60 to $180 | Signals cost credits on top |
Alone, you'll pay $39 to $199 a month for any self-serve tool here that watches competitor engagement. For three people the pricing model matters more: Valley and Sales Navigator charge per seat, Teamfluence and Common Room stay flat, and Bingle charges for extra LinkedIn accounts (US$29 each), not users. Embers and Teamfluence need a sender on top.
LinkedIn's rules, and what they mean for these tools
LinkedIn's help centre says it doesn't permit third-party software, including crawlers, bots, plug-ins and extensions, that scrapes or automates activity on its website, and that members who use them risk having their accounts restricted or shut down. Apart from Sales Navigator, every tool here reads LinkedIn from outside, Bingle included.
Tools that read public posts only never touch your profile, which protects the account but means they can't send. Tools that connect to your LinkedIn should keep daily volumes low, spread actions through the day and start a newly connected account slowly. Bingle works that way. If you can't accept any risk to the account, Sales Navigator is the only option here inside LinkedIn's own product.
How to choose
- One tool to find the people and write to them: Bingle, Valley or Gojiberry. Bingle is the cheapest and LinkedIn only; the other two add email.
- Signals only, because you already have a sender: Embers for one person, Teamfluence for a team.
- Account-level intent across website and CRM data, with the budget: Common Room, or Unify if you mostly send email.
- LinkedIn's own data only: Sales Navigator, without competitor engagers.
Not sure which signals matter for you? The free signal check suggests five from your website. If competitor engagers are the draw, find them by hand for a week first.
Questions
Does Sales Navigator show buying signals?
Yes, for leads and accounts you've saved: job changes, posts, profile views and engagement with your content, plus Buyer Intent on Advanced. It doesn't show who engages with a competitor's posts.
What replaced Trigify?
Nothing official: Trigify's app closed on 22 October 2026 as its team joined HubSpot, and it isn't continuing inside HubSpot. Bingle, Valley, Teamfluence and Embers all watch LinkedIn post engagement; see [our Trigify alternative page](/trigify-alternative).
Can I track competitor engagement on LinkedIn for free?
Yes, by hand: open a competitor's recent posts and go through the reactions and comments. [Our how-to](/blog/find-people-who-engage-with-competitor-linkedin-posts) covers what LinkedIn shows and hides.
Are LinkedIn signal tools against LinkedIn's rules?
LinkedIn says it doesn't permit third-party software that scrapes or automates its site, and accounts using it risk restriction. Tools that act from your account carry more of that risk than ones reading public posts only.
How much does a LinkedIn buying signal tool cost?
For one person, $39 to $199 a month covers every self-serve tool on this list that watches competitor engagement. Team platforms cost more: Common Room starts at $2,500 a month billed annually.
