Kairon vs Trigify
the honest comparison.
Trigify is closing: its team is joining HubSpot, and for most customers access ends at 11:59pm BST on October 22, 2026, per trigify.io on October 17. Trigify finds the buying signal across eleven-plus platforms. Kairon acts on it, on your LinkedIn seat. Both are reachable from an agent over MCP. Prices, feature by feature, dated and linked.
One finds the signal. One acts on it.
- You already know which signals matter and the gap is that nothing goes out afterwards
- You want the outreach to run on a real LinkedIn seat: invitation, wait for the accept, message, stop on reply
- You want a cited-evidence ICP verdict per company before anyone is contacted
- Your buyers are active well beyond LinkedIn: X, Reddit, YouTube and more
- You want signal provenance: every signal tied to the exact post that triggered it
- You already own the sending layer and what you are missing is what to react to
- You want to feed signals into a stack you already have, through workflows into CRM, Slack and outreach tools
What each one actually costs.
Feature by feature.
| Kairon | Trigify | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is built to do | Act on the signal: run the sequence on your LinkedIn seat and stop it when someone replies | Find the signal and route it: detect across platforms, enrich, score intent, push into your stack |
| Where signals come from | LinkedIn: a job change, a new post, a profile view, a new follower, engagement on a rival’s post | A genuine strength: 11+ social platforms including business networks, X, Reddit and YouTube |
| Signal provenance | The ICP verdict carries the evidence it was based on | Every signal is tied to the exact post that triggered it, so you can read what set it off |
| Sending | It sends from your own LinkedIn account, at a pace that respects the platform’s own limits | Not a sender. It pushes qualified people into CRM, Slack and outreach tools, which is a deliberate design, not a gap |
| ICP qualification | A written verdict per company against your ICP, with the evidence behind it | Workflows enrich each person and score their intent before pushing them on |
| Approval before send | Autopilot by default, with time to review or cancel each normal send. Manual mode waits for approval before every message | Not applicable: whatever sends is your downstream tool, and its rules apply |
| Driving it from an agent | Hosted MCP server with OAuth, plus a CLI. Listed in the Official MCP Registry as com.heykairon/kairon | Also a hosted MCP server, at api.trigify.io/mcp, plus a REST API and a CLI. No advantage to either of us here |
| Pipeline & CRM | HubSpot and Salesforce, built in. When a lead reaches the stage you pick, it lands in your CRM with its whole LinkedIn conversation | Pushes qualified people into your CRM directly through workflows — that composition is the product, not a bolt-on |
| How you pay | $49 a month per seat, with $10 of usage balance included. Data lookups and AI come out of that balance, and you can add more | Credits for signals, enrichment and engagement, with overages at $0.012 per credit |
| Trial | 7 days, card required, $0 today. Managed email sending is charged separately | 14 days on every plan |
What Trigify is genuinely better at.
Coverage. Signals across 11+ social platforms including X, Reddit and YouTube, where Kairon watches LinkedIn and nothing else. If your buyers complain about tools on Reddit, we never see it and they do.
trigify.io · 2026-08-05Provenance on every signal: each one is attached to the post that triggered it, so you can read the actual sentence before deciding whether to reach out.
trigify.io · 2026-08-05They are agent-native too, and by the same architecture: a hosted MCP server added with `claude mcp add --transport http`, plus a REST API and a CLI. We are not the only MCP option in this category and we will not imply otherwise.
trigify.io · 2026-08-05A lower entry price and a longer trial: $40/mo against $49, and 14 days against our 7.
trigify.io/pricing · 2026-08-05It composes with what you already run instead of replacing it, pushing qualified people into CRM, Slack and outreach tools through workflows.
trigify.io · 2026-08-05What Kairon does differently.
It sends. The signal ends in an invitation and a message on your own LinkedIn seat, not in a webhook to a tool that then has to send
A written ICP verdict per company with the evidence behind it, before anyone is contacted
Everything booked stays editable until it fires, so a bad message is a click away from being fixed or dropped
Every action on every campaign is recorded, so months later you can still answer who was contacted, with what, and when
What to actually expect.
Trigify rewards teams who already send well and are guessing about timing. It widens the aperture: more platforms watched, every signal traceable to a post, everything reachable by an agent. What it hands you is a qualified person and a reason; the sending stays your problem.
Kairon rewards teams whose sending is the bottleneck. It watches a narrower surface, judges each company against your ICP with evidence, and then actually runs the sequence with a veto before each send. Narrower input, finished output.
Our own numbers, because we are asking you to judge ours too. Kairon used Kairon for a month: 444 invitations sent, 169 accepted (38.1%), and 59 of those 169 people wrote back (34.9%). They come straight out of our own database, not from a survey. It is one account and one month, so take it as a reference point, not a promise. The query that produces it is published, in case you want to run it yourself. We do not invent numbers, ours or theirs.
What we could not confirm about Trigify.
Their docs host returned a 522 to us on 2026-08-05, so we read the marketing site and the pricing page but could not read the API or MCP reference. We cannot tell you which tools their MCP server exposes beyond the three their homepage shows: list_searches, get_search_results and create_search.
trigify.io · 2026-08-05Credit pricing means the bill moves with usage. Overages are stated openly at $0.012 per credit, which is honest, but a heavy month of listening will not cost what a quiet one does.
trigify.io/pricing · 2026-08-05The Starter plan holds only 7 days of search history and 50 signal profiles. If you need to look back across a quarter, the real entry price is the $199 Max plan, not $40.
trigify.io/pricing · 2026-08-05When to actually pick Trigify instead.
Trigify is winding down its platform. For most customers, access, integrations, API access and signal collection stop at 11:59pm BST on October 22, 2026, and accounts are not moved to HubSpot, per trigify.io on October 17, 2026. If you use it, export what you want to keep before then. Until that date, this is what we would have said: if your sending already works and what you lack is a reason to reach out today, pick Trigify. It watches more of the internet than we do and it hands every signal to you with the post that caused it. Pick it too if your buyers live on Reddit or X, where Kairon sees nothing at all. The two are more complementary than competitive: Trigify plus a sender is the same shape as Kairon, assembled from parts you choose.
Fair questions.
Is Trigify closing?
Yes. On September 23, 2026, Trigify announced that its team is joining HubSpot and that it is winding down the standalone platform. For customers on its standard notice period, access ends at 11:59pm BST on October 22, 2026. Its page says accounts will not be migrated to HubSpot, and asks customers to export their data first. We read this on trigify.io on October 17, 2026.
Is this comparison biased?
We built it, so read it with that in mind. It is also the page where we say Trigify has the same MCP architecture we do and watches more platforms than we do. Every claim links to Trigify's own pages.
Does Trigify support MCP?
Yes, and by the same method as Kairon: a hosted MCP server added with `claude mcp add --transport http`, plus a REST API and a CLI. If you were choosing between us on "which one an agent can drive", that is not a real difference.
Can I use Kairon and Trigify together?
Yes, and it is the most sensible pairing on this site. Trigify covers signal sources we do not watch; Kairon turns a signal into an invitation and a conversation on a real seat. Both expose MCP, so an agent can hold both ends.
How often is this updated?
Whenever we notice something has changed. Prices and features are marked with the date we last checked them.
