Trigify is winding down; access ends on 22 October 2026.

Same job, different trade-offs: credits or flat plans, a login or none, a list or a ranked queue.

Trigify is winding down. Access ends on 22 October 2026 for most customers.

On 23 September 2026 Trigify announced that its team is joining HubSpot and that the standalone Trigify platform is winding down. For most customers, access ends at 11:59pm BST on 22 October 2026; customers with different contractual notice periods get their own dates, and subscriptions do not renew past them. Trigify asks customers to export what they want to keep before access ends. If HubSpot is where your team works next, the replacement only has to put ranked LinkedIn signals there: Embers creates or updates a HubSpot contact, with a note on the signal, whenever a lead qualifies (Solo and above, connected by an administrator).

Verdict

The short answer, both ways.

Both expose an MCP server for AI assistants. Trigify covers 11+ social platforms and additionally exposes person-level signals through searches, workflows, a REST API, and a CLI. Choose based on whether you need a daily LinkedIn review workflow or a broader signal layer.

Where Embers has the edge

  • Want a ranked follow-up queue instead of signal infrastructure they have to configure
  • Prefer flat public pricing over credits and overages
  • Want one LinkedIn-focused review queue rather than an 11+ platform signal layer
  • Prefer source limits to a usage-credit budget
  • Want follow-up state and outcome tracking in the same place as the signal

Where Trigify has the edge

  • Person-level signals retain the source activity that triggered them
  • Multi-channel scope beyond LinkedIn
  • REST API, MCP server, and CLI make signals available to agents
  • Unlimited workflows are included on current plans
  • Enterprise adds SSO/SAML, custom support, and broader workspace controls

Replace it

Switch without a gap in four steps.

Keep Trigify running while Embers fills its first queue, then compare the two on the same week.

  1. Point Embers at the same sources

    Add the profiles you watch in Trigify (your team, competitors, creators) to the Watchlist, and your keywords to Keyword Tracker.

    How it works

  2. Describe your buyer once

    Give Embers your website or a sentence about your buyer. It builds the ICP that decides who becomes a lead and how they rank.

    How it works

  3. Start with history, not an empty queue

    The first scan reaches back through up to 365 days of public activity, so the queue is useful on day one.

    How it works

  4. Run both for a week, then decide

    Work both queues on the same week and keep the one whose leads you actually follow up. Nothing is deleted if you stop.

    How it works

Trigify announced on 23 September 2026 that its team is joining HubSpot and the standalone platform is winding down. For most customers, access ends at 11:59pm BST on 22 October 2026; customers with different contractual notice periods receive their own dates directly from Trigify. Export what you want to keep before then, using Trigify's export options.

Start Embers before your Trigify access ends: your first 2,000 engagers are free with no card. Add the profiles you watch (5 on Solo, 10 on Growth, 20 on Enterprise) and the phrases you track as keywords (10, 25, or 50), then connect HubSpot or Slack so qualified leads land where your team works. Run both until Trigify closes.

It depends on the job. Embers is the focused option for reviewing supported public LinkedIn signals and choosing a manual next action. Trigify is the broader option for person-level signals across 11+ platforms, workflows, and AI-agent access.

LinkedIn is one of 11+ social platforms Trigify covers. Embers is specifically built around supported public LinkedIn activity and a daily follow-up queue.

Yes. Trigify's official product page says each signal resolves to a named person with the original source post attached. The difference is breadth and workflow: Trigify is a multi-platform signal layer, while Embers is a focused LinkedIn review workflow.

Trigify's last published Starter plan was $40 per month with 4,000 credits, but the platform is winding down, so it is no longer a long-term choice. Embers Solo is $49 per month ($39 billed annually) with 5 watched profiles and 10 keywords, and your first 2,000 engagers are free with no card to start.

Yes. Trigify advertises REST API, MCP server, and CLI access for signals, searches, and workflows. Embers offers an OAuth MCP server at https://mcp.useembers.com/mcp for working the lead queue, plus signed one-way webhooks for lead and report events. Embers has no public REST API or CLI.
