What is OutX?

OutX (outx.ai) is a social listening tool for sales and marketing teams. It watches LinkedIn, Reddit, X, Hacker News and more than 50 forums for posts that show buying intent, drafts replies, and can auto-like and auto-comment on LinkedIn through a Chrome extension running on your own account.

Key features

• Keyword tracking: describe what to watch in plain English and OutX turns it into keywords, then surfaces matching posts and comments on LinkedIn, Reddit, X, Hacker News and more than 50 forums.
• Profile and company tracking: watch prospects’ posts, job changes and birthdays, and every employee post or hiring signal from your target accounts.
• Intent scoring: each signal is ranked and labelled, for example a competitor switch, a job change or an open question.
• AI replies: one click drafts a reply in your voice, which you send from your own LinkedIn account.
• Auto-engagement: rules on a watchlist can auto-like and auto-comment on matching LinkedIn posts, from your personal account or a company page, with an hourly limit you set.
• Routing and data: alerts by email, Slack and Teams; push to HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive; CSV export; Sales Navigator lead export; an API and an MCP server for Claude, Cursor and Claude Code.

Pricing

Paying yearly saves 20%. Paid plans come with a 7-day free trial with all features; a card is needed up front, and you are not charged during the trial. The pricing page also has separate tabs for LinkedIn personal branding and a Sales Navigator scraper. Prices checked on OutX’s pricing page on 4 Nov 2026.

What we liked

• Covers LinkedIn, Reddit, X, Hacker News and forums in one feed
• Every price and limit is public, with a free plan
• Self-serve and quick to set up
• Drafted replies keep a person in the loop for outreach

Things to know before you buy

• Auto-likes, auto-comments and scraping can conflict with LinkedIn’s User Agreement
• The Chrome extension must stay active; scanning pauses when your browser is closed
• The trial needs a card
• Most results figures on the site are the company’s own

Platform rules and limits to know

Automating LinkedIn actions can go against LinkedIn’s User Agreement. This is the most important part of this review.

Section 8.2 of LinkedIn’s User Agreement says you must not “Use bots or other unauthorized automated methods to access the Services, add or download contacts, send or redirect messages, create, comment on, like, share, or re-share posts, or otherwise drive inauthentic engagement”. LinkedIn’s help page on prohibited software and extensions says members who use such tools “risk having their accounts restricted or shut down”.

OutX’s listening, alerts and drafted replies do not post anything for you. Its auto-engagement is different: rules on a watchlist can auto-like and auto-comment on LinkedIn posts from your personal account or a company page, and OutX’s docs say engagement happens “shortly after the post goes live”. Its Chrome extension also exports Sales Navigator search results, which OutX gates as “high-volume scraping” on paid plans.

OutX says the extension runs in your own browser, on your own LinkedIn session, “at human pacing with daily limits”, and never stores your password or cookie. Its docs suggest starting at 1 to 5 likes and 1 to 3 comments an hour. That lowers the volume, but it does not change what LinkedIn’s rules say, and OutX has not published any LinkedIn authorisation. Its own terms, last updated on 13 March 2025, describe it as “a LinkedIn automation tool” and say you are “solely responsible for ensuring compliance with LinkedIn’s TOS”.

How to run a fair trial

• Start on the free plan with listening, alerts and drafted replies only.
• Read section 8.2 of LinkedIn’s User Agreement and decide which actions, if any, you are willing to automate.
• If you try auto-engagement, use a profile that is not your most valuable, at the lowest hourly limits.
• Keep the browser with the extension open during working hours, as scanning pauses when it is closed.
• After the 7-day trial, count the conversations that turned into meetings before you pay.

Who it is for

Good fit: B2B sales, marketing and founder-led teams that want to spot buying signals on LinkedIn and Reddit and reply while the conversation is fresh.

Less suited to: Teams that cannot accept any risk to their LinkedIn accounts, or that need broad brand monitoring across news and consumer social media.
