Common Room calls itself a revenue OS. It pulls website visits, product usage, and CRM data into one profile per person and account, along with intent data, job changes, and community activity. AI agents then research prospects and draft outreach. PitchGhost focuses on one part of that job. It reads public posts on LinkedIn, X, Reddit, and Facebook and finds the ones worth a response. Common Room tells a rep which accounts look ready to buy. PitchGhost finds the conversation where someone is asking for what you sell.

Zoom announced a deal to acquire Common Room on July 2, 2026. Common Room still sells its plans at commonroom.io.

Best for

  • PitchGhost fits sales, marketing, customer success, and founders who want to find buyers, competitor complaints, and open questions on social, and respond while the post is fresh.
  • Common Room fits revenue teams of 5 to 30 or more, often at software companies, that want first-party signals, enrichment, and AI outreach in one place and have a $30,000-plus budget.

How each one finds things

Common Room starts with your own data. Its strongest signals come from your website, product, and CRM, plus your Slack or Discord community and GitHub repos, once you connect them. On social it’s narrower. The LinkedIn integration covers your own company page. The Reddit integration watches up to 10 subreddits you pick. X is the widest, with keyword and hashtag tracking across the platform. There’s no Facebook integration.

PitchGhost starts with a goal. A Ghost reads one platform and gets posts from your search queries or from a list of people and companies. It checks each one against the goal you wrote in plain English. A Ghost on LinkedIn can search every public post about switching help desks, or watch 600 people at your target accounts. A Ghost on Reddit can read all of Reddit, comments included. Only the posts that fit become Finds. Each Find shows Ghost’s logic and a confidence score, so you can see why it made the cut.

Your Ghost finds posts without your accounts. Linking one is optional, and only needed to respond from PitchGhost.

What you do with a result

Common Room is built for outbound. A signal becomes a scored contact. RoomieAI writes research and message snippets for emails and LinkedIn messages, and those snippets can flow into sequences in tools like Outreach. The output is an email or LinkedIn message, not a response to the post that triggered it.

PitchGhost is built to respond in the thread. Finds arrive in Slack, Teams, Discord, or email. They also sync to HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, Folk, or HighLevel. On Pro and Expert, every Find comes with a Suggested response in your voice. You can comment, respond, or send a connection request in one click from your own account. Nothing goes out without your approval.

A year of PitchGhost Expert for 10 people costs $7,990. A year of Common Room Essential for 5 people costs $30,000.

When Common Room is the better pick

Choose Common Room if your best signals are first-party. It identifies companies visiting your website, tracks product sign-ups and usage, and reads your Slack, Discord, and GitHub communities, none of which PitchGhost does. It adds Bombora intent topics, job-change alerts, and a contact directory of more than 400 million people. If your reps live in Outreach or Salesloft and want AI research and personalized snippets in their sequences, Common Room is built for that. It also covers YouTube, Stack Overflow, and G2.

Bottom line

Common Room is a full buyer intelligence platform with a price to match. PitchGhost is the focused tool for the social part. It finds the public posts where your buyers are talking and helps your team respond. If you need website, product, and community signals in one account view, buy Common Room. If you want the conversations on LinkedIn, X, Reddit, and Facebook worth joining, for a fraction of the cost, try PitchGhost free for seven days. See pricing.

A question still haunting you?

How much does Common Room cost?

Common Room's pricing page lists Essential at $2,500 a month, billed annually, for 5 seats and up to 100,000 contacts. That's $30,000 a year, and Advanced and Enterprise are custom quotes. PitchGhost starts at $199 a month, or $1,990 a year.

Is Common Room still available after the Zoom deal?

Yes. Zoom announced an agreement to acquire Common Room on July 2, 2026, and Common Room still sells its plans at commonroom.io. Zoom says the deal will strengthen its Revenue Accelerator product.

Does Common Room monitor LinkedIn posts?

It imports posts, comments, and reactions from your own LinkedIn company page. Its Chrome extension lets you add the people who engaged with a post you're looking at. PitchGhost searches public LinkedIn posts by query, or monitors a list of people or company pages, without using your LinkedIn account.

Is PitchGhost a good Common Room alternative?

If what you used most was social and community signals, yes, and at a fraction of the cost. PitchGhost doesn't identify website visitors, track product usage, or offer a contact directory, so teams that rely on those should stay with Common Room.

Can Common Room draft responses to social posts?

No. Its RoomieAI agents research prospects and write snippets for emails and LinkedIn messages. PitchGhost drafts a Suggested response for every Find on Pro and Expert, and someone on your team decides whether to send it.

Does Common Room have a free trial?

No. Every Common Room plan starts with a demo. PitchGhost has a seven-day free trial on every plan with no credit card. Start free.
