HeyReach vs Trigify: In-Depth Cold Outreach Tool Comparison

If you're weighing HeyReach vs Trigify, you probably ran them as a pair. Trigify spotted who engaged with a LinkedIn post, and HeyReach sent the connection request. On September 23, 2026, Trigify said its team is joining HubSpot and its standalone platform will close.

On October 18, 2026, I went through HeyReach's live pricing page on all three billing options. I also read Trigify's shutdown FAQ and its help center, which still lists its plans and credit costs.

HeyReach is LinkedIn automation for agencies and sales teams. Trigify was a social listening and signals tool. Salesforge is the third option: email and LinkedIn in one sequence, with lead data and warm-up from the same stack.

Signal-Based LinkedIn Outreach Tools at a Glance: HeyReach vs Trigify

Competitor prices come from each vendor's own pages on October 18, 2026. Trigify's are its last published plans, from its help center.

HeyReach Overview: LinkedIn Automation Priced per Sender

HeyReach is a LinkedIn automation platform built to run outreach from many LinkedIn accounts at once. It says 7,000+ companies use it, and its pricing page leads with unlimited senders for one flat monthly fee. This blog's longer HeyReach review draws on feedback from 100+ paid users.

Core features:

• Multi-sender campaigns: one campaign rotates across several LinkedIn accounts to raise daily volume.
• Unlimited campaigns and all LinkedIn actions on every plan.
• Unified Inbox for LinkedIn conversations across connected accounts.
• Email through partners: native Instantly, Smartlead, and EmailBison integrations, plus a Find Email step that spends enrichment credits.
• Agency tools: workspaces and permissions, free seats for teammates and clients, and whitelabel on the Agency and Unlimited plans.
• Builder access: API and webhooks, an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, and a CLI for Mac and Windows.

HeyReach Growth is $79 per sender a month, $72 on quarterly billing, or $64 on yearly billing. It includes a dedicated residential proxy and 100 enrichment credits per sender.

HeyReach Agency is $999/mo for 25 senders ($800/mo yearly) or $1,399/mo for 50 ($1,120/mo yearly), and you bring your own proxies. HeyReach Unlimited is $2,999/mo ($2,399/mo yearly), with a fair-use cap of 300 senders, and starts with a demo. The free trial runs 14 days with 3 LinkedIn accounts and no card.

HeyReach fits agencies and sales teams that live on LinkedIn, run many accounts, and already pay for a cold email tool.

Known limitations:

• No email of its own: sending, mailboxes, and warm-up all sit in a second tool.
• No signal capture of its own: HeyReach imports signals from tools like RB2B and Clay. Its answer to Trigify's closure was a blog list of replacement tools.
• Split replies: to see email and LinkedIn replies together, HeyReach lists third-party inboxes such as Masterinbox and HotHawk.
• Per-sender math on HeyReach Growth: five LinkedIn accounts cost $395/mo before any email tool.
• Platform risk: in March 2026, LinkedIn removed HeyReach's company page and restricted its leaders' profiles, though the software kept running.

What reviewers say about HeyReach

HeyReach holds a 4-star TrustScore from 51 Trustpilot reviews. The newest one-star review, from January 2026, describes repeat bugs, support replies that can take three business days, and a no-refund policy.

Trigify Overview: A Social Signals Tool Closing on October 22

Trigify was a social listening and signals platform for B2B go-to-market teams. It tracked posts and engagement across LinkedIn, X, Reddit, YouTube, and podcasts. Workflows then enriched the people involved and pushed them to CRMs and outreach tools.

On September 23, 2026, Trigify announced that its team is joining HubSpot and the standalone platform is being retired. On the standard notice period, access ends at 11:59pm BST on October 22, 2026, and integrations, API access, and signal collection stop with it.

Trigify's FAQ says the product will not appear inside HubSpot and accounts will not be migrated. Its pricing, features, and integrations pages now redirect to the announcement.

Core features, as documented in Trigify's help center:

• Social listening: Boolean keyword searches with job-title filters, returning matching posts and the people behind them.
• Social Signals: an early-access feed of role changes, new hires, likes on a competitor's post, and comments on tracked topics.
• Engagement pulls: post likes and comments cost 1 credit per engagement returned.
• Workflows: triggers, AI agents, and enrichment at 4 credits per person and 10 per company.
• Jarvis: an AI assistant that builds workflows from a plain-English request.
• Integrations: HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio, Slack, Clay, Instantly, Smartlead, and a free Send to HeyReach Campaign action.
• Gmail sending: a Send Email action that sends personalized emails from your Google account at 2 credits each.
• Developer access: API, CLI, and a Claude MCP integration.

Trigify's help center still lists its last plans. Starter was $40/mo for 4,000 credits, Max was $199/mo for 40,000 credits, and Enterprise was custom. Extra credits cost $0.012 each, and there was no per-user fee.

Trigify's older Essential ($149/mo), Growth ($270/mo), and Scale ($549/mo) plans stayed with existing customers. Trigify fit GTM engineers and agencies who wanted person-level LinkedIn engagement signals feeding Clay, HeyReach, or a CRM. Today it only fits customers exporting data before access ends.

Known limitations:

• It closes on October 22, 2026, and any workflow that calls it stops working.
• Thin outreach: beyond its Gmail Send Email action, signals went to tools like HeyReach, Instantly, Smartlead, or a CRM.
• Credits add up fast: pulling the likes on a post with 300 likes uses 300 credits, and enriching those people uses 1,200 more.
• Social Signals was still listed as early access in Trigify's help center.

What reviewers say about Trigify

I found no Trustpilot reviews for Trigify. On Reddit, one user who tested it said it was for basic monitoring and felt limited once they needed deeper coverage. This blog's earlier Trigify review asks whether it can really find high-intent leads.

Salesforge Overview: Signals, Email, and LinkedIn in One Platform

Salesforge is a multichannel outreach platform that runs cold email and LinkedIn as steps of one sequence, with one inbox for replies. Salesforge says 10,000+ businesses use it, and it is SOC 2 compliant.

Core features:

• Conditional multichannel sequences: if a connection request is accepted, a LinkedIn message follows; if not, the sequence falls back to email.
• Six native LinkedIn actions: connection requests, messages, InMails, post likes, follows, and withdraw requests, each capped at 30 a day per profile.
• Account safety as standard: session-token login, so your LinkedIn password is never stored, plus shared proxies, custom proxy support, and no Chrome extension injection.
• Unlimited mailboxes, users, and workspaces: users and LinkedIn senders are unlimited on Salesforge Growth, with no seat pricing.
• AI personalization across 21+ languages: AI variables pull company news, LinkedIn activity, and industry context, and Overdrive Mode combines every source.
• Primebox™ with Autopilot and Co-pilot modes: email and LinkedIn replies land in one inbox on every plan; the AI reply modes need Salesforge Growth.
• Unlimited Warmforge warm-up, free: a premium pool of aged IMAP/SMTP, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365 mailboxes, with Heat Score™, placement tests, and health checks.
• Deliverability controls: ESP matching (Salesforge Growth), Bounce Shield, text-only sending, sender rotation, and built-in email validation.
• Leadsforge signals and data: 500M+ contacts, chat-based search, waterfall enrichment, Competitor Followers, Company Lookalikes, and intent signals that reach sequences without a CSV export.
• LinkedIn email & phone finder Chrome Extension: powered by Leadsforge, with 100 free credits on signup.
• Integrations: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, HighLevel, Attio, folk, and Breakcold, plus Clay, RB2B, Slack, Zapier, Make, and webhooks.

Salesforge is the outreach layer of the Forge Stack. Leadsforge finds leads, Warmforge protects deliverability, Mailforge, Infraforge, and Primeforge supply mailboxes, and Agent Frank can run the whole workflow. No other vendor offers all of that under one login, though each product is a separate subscription.

You can run it three ways: with your own team, with Agent Frank, or through a vetted Forge Expert agency.

Salesforge Pro is $48/mo monthly or $40/mo billed annually, with 1 user, 1 LinkedIn sender, 1,000 active contacts, and 5,000 emails a month. Salesforge Growth is $96/mo monthly or $80/mo annually, with unlimited users and LinkedIn senders, 10,000 active contacts, and 50,000 emails.

Salesforge Growth includes 1,000 credits a month each for personalization, email validation, and LinkedIn actions, and Salesforge Pro includes 300 of each. Agent Frank is a separate subscription at $499/mo billed quarterly ($416/mo billed annually); verify the live price before you buy.

Mailboxes cost extra: Mailforge runs $3 to $2 per mailbox a month, billed annually.

Salesforge fits B2B teams selling at $5K-$100K ACVs to startups, SMBs, and mid-market companies, with 3,000+ target businesses. Salesforge itself says it's a poor fit for Fortune 500 targets, long RFP cycles, or six- and seven-figure deals.

UniteSync reached an 85.26% positive reply rate and a $2.86 CAC on Salesforge, Mailforge, and Warmforge. ChannelCrawler hit an 85.71% positive reply rate with Salesforge, Infraforge, and Warmforge.

Honest limitations:

• Infrastructure is extra: no Salesforge plan includes mailboxes or domains.
• Salesforge Growth gates the API, MCP server, CLI, A/B testing, ESP matching, AI reply modes, and unlimited senders.
• LinkedIn actions use credits: Salesforge estimates 400-500 a month per active LinkedIn profile, so many senders means buying more.
• Agent Frank has no self-serve trial and needs a sales-led demo.

Head-to-Head Feature Comparison: HeyReach vs Trigify

Here is how the three compare on the parts of signal-led outbound that decide results.

Multichannel outreach: one sequence or three tools

Salesforge: email and LinkedIn run in one conditional sequence, so a prospect who ignores a connection request gets an email instead. Both channels sit on one plan price.

HeyReach: LinkedIn is native, and email runs through Instantly, Smartlead, or EmailBison. With Instantly and Smartlead, HeyReach syncs leads both ways, so a reply on one channel pauses the other. You still pay for and manage two platforms, and this guide to the Instantly and HeyReach integration explains when that setup works.

Trigify: it could send emails through a Gmail Send Email action, at 2 credits each. Its integrations pushed leads into HeyReach, Instantly, or Smartlead campaigns.

On LinkedIn itself, HeyReach lists connection requests, follow-ups, InMails, profile views, and post likes, plus an If Connected filter. Salesforge's six native actions are connection requests, messages, InMails, post likes, follows, and withdraw requests.

Buying signals and lead data

Trigify: its edge was person-level engagement. It showed exactly who liked or commented on a post, and its Social Signals feed added role changes and new hires.

HeyReach: it doesn't capture signals itself. It imports them from tools such as RB2B, Clay, Warm, and Cornersight, and its blog now lists Trigify alternatives that plug into HeyReach.

Salesforge: Leadsforge searches 500M+ contacts and builds lists from funding rounds, acquisitions, job changes, new investments, and tech stack shifts, with proof from public sources. It also pulls competitor page followers and lookalike companies, then sends lists straight into sequences.

On LinkedIn post engagement alone, Trigify went deeper: Leadsforge's published signals cover company events and page followers rather than likes on one post. For the wider approach, see this guide to signal-based selling.

Email deliverability and warm-up

Salesforge: every mailbox gets free, unlimited Warmforge warm-up from a premium pool. Heat Score™ tracks each mailbox (97+ is healthy), and placement tests show inbox versus spam before launch.

ESP matching, Bounce Shield, and text-only sending protect your domains, and Mailforge, Infraforge, or Primeforge supply the mailboxes.

HeyReach: nothing here; deliverability depends on the email tool you connect. Trigify: no warm-up or deliverability tools; its Gmail action sent from your own Google account, within Gmail's limits. For the basics, read the complete email warm-up guide.

Account safety and sending infrastructure

Salesforge: LinkedIn accounts connect with a session token, so your password is never stored. Actions run through shared proxies or your own, with no Chrome extension injection, and each action type is capped at 30 a day per profile.

For email, Mailforge (shared), Infraforge (dedicated IPs), and Primeforge (Google Workspace and Microsoft 365) all run from the same login.

HeyReach: it runs in the cloud and gives each HeyReach Growth sender a dedicated residential proxy, while Agency and Unlimited customers bring their own. Trigify: it mostly read public LinkedIn activity, and its help center says posting or commenting on your behalf may be limited or unavailable.

AI and personalization

Salesforge: AI personalization works across 21+ languages, and Overdrive Mode blends every source into one message. Agent Frank prospects from Leadsforge, writes email and LinkedIn messages, handles replies, and books meetings in Auto-Pilot or Co-Pilot mode.

HeyReach: its headline AI feature is the MCP server, where you describe a campaign to Claude or ChatGPT and HeyReach handles the rest. HeyReach doesn't sell an AI SDR of its own.

Trigify: Jarvis built workflows from chat, and a Copy Writer Agent cost 5 credits a run.

Reply handling and the unified inbox

Salesforge: Primebox™ puts email and LinkedIn replies in one inbox with sentiment tags. On Salesforge Growth, Autopilot answers routine replies and Co-pilot drafts replies for a human to approve.

HeyReach: its Unified Inbox covers LinkedIn conversations; email replies stay in your email tool unless you add Masterinbox or HotHawk. Trigify: no inbox, only Slack alerts and CRM records. Primebox™ also features among these AI inbox managers.

Pricing and scalability

HeyReach charges per LinkedIn sender until the Agency bundle, which beats buying HeyReach Growth seats from 13 senders up ($1,027 vs $999 a month). On yearly billing, 13 seats cost $832 a month against $800 for the bundle. Trigify charged by credit, so busy posts cost more, while Salesforge keeps one plan price as users and senders grow.

Integrations, API, and MCP

Salesforge: native CRM sync with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, HighLevel, Attio, folk, and Breakcold. Salesforge Growth adds the API, MCP server, and CLI, and every Forge product exposes MCP, so agents can run the whole stack.

HeyReach: HubSpot, Attio, Breakcold, Clay, n8n, Zapier, Make, and Slack, with API, webhooks, MCP, and a CLI. Trigify: its HubSpot, Salesforce, Clay, and HeyReach connections stop on October 22.

Pricing Comparison: HeyReach vs Trigify vs Salesforge

HeyReach prices come from its live pricing page on October 18, 2026. Trigify's figures are its last published plans, since its pricing page now redirects.

As a team grows, the three pricing models change in different ways. HeyReach Growth adds $79 a month for every new LinkedIn account until the Agency bundle takes over at 13 accounts.

Trigify's costs tracked engagement volume, since every like, comment, and enrichment used credits, with overage at $0.012 each. Salesforge Growth stays at $96/mo ($80/mo annual) as you add users and LinkedIn senders. When LinkedIn volume outgrows the 1,000 included credits, you buy more in the app.

Picture two reps who each run one LinkedIn account plus cold email from signal-based lists, on monthly billing.

HeyReach: HeyReach Growth for two senders is $158/mo. That covers LinkedIn only, so you still need an email tool, mailboxes, warm-up, and a new signal source once Trigify (from $40/mo) closes.

Salesforge: Salesforge Growth at $96/mo covers both reps, both LinkedIn accounts, email, warm-up, and Primebox™. Add Leadsforge Essential at $49/mo and 10 Mailforge mailboxes at about $3 each, and the stack lands near $175/mo plus domains.

Two active LinkedIn profiles fit inside Salesforge Growth's 1,000 monthly LinkedIn action credits, using Salesforge's estimate of 400-500 per profile.

Who Should Use HeyReach, Trigify, or Salesforge

You might consider HeyReach if:

• You run LinkedIn-only outreach for many clients. At 25 accounts, HeyReach Agency's flat $999/mo is easier to budget, because Salesforge meters LinkedIn actions with credits.
• You already pay for Instantly, Smartlead, or EmailBison and only need the LinkedIn layer.
• You want whitelabel LinkedIn outreach under your own agency brand.

You might keep Trigify until October 22 if:

• You still need to export saved searches, signal history, and workflow data before 11:59pm BST.
• You need a few days to rebuild the Clay, HubSpot, or HeyReach workflows that call it.

Choose Salesforge if:

• You sell B2B at $5K-$100K ACVs to 3,000+ target businesses and want email and LinkedIn in one sequence.
• You want signals and outreach in one stack, with Leadsforge lists flowing into sequences without a CSV export.
• You want deliverability handled: free Warmforge warm-up, ESP matching, Bounce Shield, and three mailbox options.
• You want every email and LinkedIn reply in Primebox™ instead of two inboxes.
• You may hand outbound to Agent Frank or a Forge Expert agency later.

Final Verdict: Which Signal-Led Outreach Tool to Choose

HeyReach and Trigify were often run as a pair, and that pair is ending. HeyReach runs LinkedIn from many accounts but sends no email itself. Trigify found the signals, but it closes at 11:59pm BST on October 22, 2026, and nothing moves to HubSpot.

HeyReach answered the closure with a list of other signal tools to plug in, not a signal feature of its own. That leaves signal-led HeyReach users running at least three tools. If your Trigify workflows fed HeyReach, this is a good time to move to one stack instead of swapping in another signal tool.

For signal-led B2B outbound, Salesforge is the stronger choice. Salesforge Growth costs $96/mo monthly ($80/mo annual) for unlimited users, LinkedIn senders, and mailboxes, with free Warmforge warm-up and Primebox™. Leadsforge adds signals as a separate subscription, and Agent Frank is a separate subscription from $499/mo billed quarterly.

One benchmark you can check: UniteSync reached an 85.26% positive reply rate and a $2.86 CAC on Salesforge, Mailforge, and Warmforge. The case study is public.

HeyReach vs Trigify: Frequently Asked Questions

Is Trigify shutting down?

Yes. On September 23, 2026, Trigify announced that its team is joining HubSpot and that the standalone platform is being retired.

For customers on the standard notice period, access ends at 11:59pm BST on October 22, 2026. Integrations, API access, monitoring, and signal collection stop at the same time. Trigify says the product will not appear in HubSpot and accounts will not be migrated, so export saved searches and workflow data before then.

Is Salesforge better than HeyReach?

For multichannel B2B outbound, yes. Salesforge runs email and LinkedIn in one sequence and includes free Warmforge warm-up and the Primebox™ inbox. Salesforge Growth costs $96/mo monthly ($80/mo annual) for unlimited users and LinkedIn senders.

HeyReach is LinkedIn-only and needs Instantly, Smartlead, or EmailBison for email. For a LinkedIn-only agency running 25 accounts, HeyReach Agency's flat $999/mo is easier to budget, since Salesforge meters LinkedIn actions with credits.

What's the main difference between HeyReach and Trigify?

HeyReach sends LinkedIn outreach, while Trigify found the people to contact. Trigify watched LinkedIn, X, Reddit, YouTube, and podcasts for posts and engagement, then enriched the people involved.

It could push them onward through its free Send to HeyReach Campaign action. HeyReach then ran connection requests and messages across many LinkedIn accounts. With Trigify closing on October 22, 2026, HeyReach users need a new signal source.

Which is cheaper: Salesforge, HeyReach, or Trigify?

Trigify's Starter plan was $40/mo, but it is closing, and it was built to find signals rather than run outreach.

Salesforge Pro starts at $48/mo monthly ($40/mo annual) for email plus one LinkedIn sender. HeyReach Growth is $79 per sender a month ($64 yearly) for LinkedIn only. For two reps, Salesforge Growth at $96/mo covers both channels, while HeyReach costs $158/mo before you add an email tool.

Does HeyReach send cold emails?

No. HeyReach is a LinkedIn automation tool, and its multichannel outreach runs through native Instantly, Smartlead, and EmailBison integrations. A Find Email step locates addresses with enrichment credits, then hands leads to your email tool.

Deliverability, mailboxes, and warm-up all live in that second tool. Salesforge sends email natively, warms every mailbox free with Warmforge, and adds Bounce Shield, plus ESP matching on Salesforge Growth.

What can replace Trigify's buying signals?

For signal-led outbound, Leadsforge plus Salesforge can take over Trigify's role inside one stack. Leadsforge builds lists from funding rounds, acquisitions, job changes, new investments, and tech stack shifts. It also finds competitor page followers and lookalike companies, then feeds them into Salesforge sequences.

Its published signals focus on company events and followers rather than likes on a single post. HeyReach users can also connect tools such as RB2B, Clay, or Cornersight.

Can I switch from HeyReach and Trigify to Salesforge?

Yes, and the move is mostly setup work. Export your Trigify data before October 22, 2026, then upload contacts to Salesforge by CSV or Google Sheets.

Connect your LinkedIn accounts and mailboxes, then rebuild your sequences with LinkedIn and email steps. Let Warmforge warm new mailboxes for at least two weeks. Leadsforge can rebuild your signal lists and send them to sequences without a CSV export.

Does Salesforge offer a free trial?

Yes. Salesforge offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Email warm-up and unlimited mailbox connections work during the trial.

Paid plans start at $48/mo monthly ($40/mo annual) for Salesforge Pro. Agent Frank, the AI SDR, has no self-serve trial. He needs a demo first, and his mailboxes go through a 2-week warm-up before he starts sending.
