The Best Trigify Alternative (Trigify Shuts Down Oct 22, 2026)
Trigify is shutting down. HubSpot announced on September 23, 2026 that it acquired Trigify's team, and the standalone platform closes October 22, 2026 at 23:59 BST. Your account is not migrated to HubSpot and your data is not transferred, so anything you have not exported yourself by then is gone. This page covers what to export, what Buska already picks up, and honestly, what it does not.
This used to be a page comparing Buska with an active Trigify product. It isn't anymore. What follows is the practical version: what happens on shutdown day, what to export before then, and how Buska's social listening across 30+ platforms lines up with what Trigify did, gap by gap.
How does Buska compare to Trigify?
| Feature | Buska | Trigify |
|---|---|---|
| Product status | Actively developed | Shutting down October 22, 2026, 23:59 BST |
| Your account | New signup in minutes, 7-day free trial, no credit card | Not migrated to HubSpot automatically |
| Your data | Rebuild searches as Buska signals from your export | Not transferred, export CSV or via API yourself first |

| API and integrations | REST API + MCP server on Growth and Scale plans | api.trigify.io and every integration cut off October 22 |

| LinkedIn post engagers | Not tracked today, see the FAQ below | Covered by Trigify's Profile Engagement feature |
Buska vs Trigify: detailed comparison
What happens on October 22, 2026
Nothing changes on Buska's side. If you are moving your social listening here, signup takes about 5 minutes and your 7-day free trial starts right away, with no dependency on Trigify's shutdown timeline.
Trigify's team joined HubSpot as part of the September 23, 2026 announcement, but the Trigify product itself closes October 22, 2026 at 23:59 BST. Accounts are not migrated to HubSpot, no data transfers automatically, and the API, every integration (HubSpot, Smartlead, Clay, HeyReach), and all data collection stop at the same moment. Trigify's own contact for transition questions is hugo@trigify.io.
The date that matters is October 22, 2026 at 23:59 BST, not whenever you get around to picking a new tool.
What to export before the deadline
You do not need a Trigify export to start with Buska, new signals can be set up from scratch in minutes. But if you want to preserve what you built, your keywords and AND/NOT logic map directly onto a Buska signal, and you choose which of Buska's 30+ sources to watch instead of picking from Trigify's list.
Trigify does not document a bulk export or migration tool. You can pull your own data two ways: the CSV export inside the app, or the API with your existing key (the list_searches, get_search, and get_search_results endpoints). Neither a workflow export nor a followed-profiles export is documented, so anything built in Jarvis AI or any list of tracked LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Substack, or podcast profiles needs to be written down by hand.
Export your searches and results now. The API key that lets you pull your own data stops working the moment the platform closes.
What Buska already covers
Buska monitors 30+ platforms with native scraping, including LinkedIn, X, Reddit, Quora, and Hacker News, several of Trigify's core sources, scores every mention 0-100 for buying intent, matches leads against your ICP, and can hand off qualified leads through a Reply Studio, CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and more), or a REST API and MCP server for your own agents.
Trigify's product covered two things: keyword-based Social Listening, and Profile Monitoring, tracking specific LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Substack, and podcast profiles for new posts, enriched with company, person, and email data.
The keyword-based social listening side of Trigify maps cleanly onto a Buska signal. That is the part of your setup worth rebuilding first.
What Buska does not do (the honest gap list)
Buska does not track who likes or comments on a LinkedIn post, does not detect when someone changes jobs or a followed profile posts again, has no official Zapier app (webhooks are supported), and does not integrate with HeyReach. If any of those were the reason you used Trigify daily, no tool reviewed anywhere on this site, Buska included, replicates all of them today.
Trigify's Profile Engagement feature is what covered post engagers, likers and commenters on a followed profile's new posts, enriched with their role and seniority. That was built specifically for LinkedIn signal tracking, not broad keyword-based listening.
We would rather tell you this now than have you find out mid-trial. Buska's strength is catching people publicly describing a problem or asking for a recommendation, across more platforms than just LinkedIn, not tracking who reacted to one specific post.
Why teams switch from Trigify to Buska
- Trigify closes October 22, 2026, so whatever you built there needs a new home regardless of which tool you pick
- Some Trigify sources were rented from third parties (Podscan for podcasts, NewsAPI.ai for news), a dependency worth checking for in any tool you evaluate next
- Trigify's pricing was credit-metered with per-search caps, worth knowing if you want a flat monthly price instead
- No Reply Studio in Trigify, so engaging prospects directly happened outside the tool, and that stays true wherever you migrate unless the new tool has one
- If your workflow leaned on Trigify's Profile Engagement (likers and commenters on followed posts), no tool reviewed on this site, Buska included, replicates that exactly, see the FAQ below

There is no price to compare anymore, Trigify's plans stop existing on October 22, 2026. What matters now is what you export before then and where it goes next. Buska's Starter, Growth, and Scale plans are flat monthly with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required.
Which tool should you choose?
Choose Buska if you...
- Want AI intent scoring and a Reply Studio to act on leads immediately, not just a raw signal feed
- Would rather pay one flat monthly price than track credits and per-search caps
- Need social listening across 30+ platforms, including Reddit, X, Quora, and Hacker News, not just LinkedIn
- Want API and MCP access to wire signals into your own agents (included on Growth and Scale)
- Are migrating off Trigify and want your keywords and AND/NOT logic rebuilt as Buska signals
There is no version of 'choose Trigify' left, the product closes October 22, 2026. The only real decision is where your searches, keywords, and workflows land next, and how much you export before the deadline. Buska covers social listening across 30+ platforms with AI intent scoring and a Reply Studio on one flat monthly plan. Export what matters from Trigify first, then rebuild your signals here.

Add your keywords and ICP criteria

Get qualified leads in under an hour
Buska scans 30+ platforms and sends scored leads to your dashboard, Slack, or CRM. No migration from your previous tool, just start fresh.
The truth is, most social listening tools were built for PR and brand teams. They're great at counting mentions, but they won't help you close deals. We built Buska because we wanted a tool that turns social conversations into actual pipeline. If that's what you're looking for, give it a try.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Trigify alternative?
Buska is the best Trigify alternative for teams that want social listening and AI buying-intent scoring on a flat monthly plan. It covers 30+ platforms including LinkedIn, X, Reddit, Quora and Hacker News, scores every mention 0-100 for buying intent, and includes a Reply Studio and CRM integrations from the Growth plan ($99/mo). The one gap: Buska does not track LinkedIn post engagers (likers and commenters) the way Trigify's Profile Engagement did, see the dedicated question below if that was central to your workflow.
Why is Trigify shutting down?
HubSpot announced on September 23, 2026 that it is acquiring Trigify. The team and technology are joining HubSpot, but the standalone Trigify product is being discontinued, with the platform closing October 22, 2026 at 23:59 BST.
What happens to my Trigify data after the shutdown?
It is not transferred anywhere automatically. Trigify has confirmed that accounts are not migrated to HubSpot and data does not carry over, so anything you have not exported yourself by October 22, 2026 at 23:59 BST is gone once the platform closes.
How do I export my data before Trigify shuts down?
Use the CSV export inside the Trigify app, or pull your data through the API with your existing key, the list_searches, get_search, and get_search_results endpoints, both work until October 22, 2026 at 23:59 BST. There is no documented export for saved workflows or followed profiles, so note those down manually.
Does Buska track who likes or comments on LinkedIn posts, like Trigify's Profile Engagement?
No, not today. Buska does not track post engagers the way Trigify's Profile Engagement feature did. Buska is built around what people write publicly, a post describing a problem or asking for a recommendation, which we think is a stronger buying signal than a like or a comment, but if tracking engagers specifically is central to your workflow, that is a real gap you should know about before switching.
Does Buska have an API or MCP server like Trigify?
Yes. Buska's REST API and MCP server (for Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor) are included on the Growth plan ($99/mo, 500 requests/month) and Scale plan ($249/mo, 2,500 requests/month), so if you had automations built on Trigify's API, Buska's API covers similar ground for pulling signals and lead data into your own tools.
How much does Buska cost?
Buska starts at $49/mo for Starter (5 signals, 16+ sources), $99/mo for Growth (15 signals, 28+ sources, API and MCP included), and $249/mo for Scale (30 signals, 33+ sources, AI SDR agent), all with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required. We are not quoting Trigify's old pricing here since those plans stop existing on October 22, 2026.
Can I import my Trigify searches into Buska automatically?
Not automatically, there is no import tool for Trigify data today. The fastest path is manual: open your Trigify CSV export, and for each saved search create a matching Buska signal with the same keywords and AND/NOT logic, picking which of Buska's 30+ sources to watch. Rebuilding a full search list this way takes minutes, not hours.
What about workflows I built in Trigify's Jarvis AI?
There is no documented way to export those. Jarvis AI workflows are natural-language automations built inside Trigify, and only search configurations and results come out through the CSV or API route, so write down the logic of any custom workflow manually before October 22, 2026.
