PitchGhost vs OutX.ai

OutX is a LinkedIn social listening tool for sales teams. You describe what to track, OutX turns it into keywords, and its feed fills with matching LinkedIn and Reddit posts, each labeled with an intent and a relevance score. It also auto-likes and auto-comments on posts from your account, and exports Sales Navigator searches. It all runs through a Chrome extension in your browser.

PitchGhost is a social listening tool for teams that want to respond. A Ghost reads LinkedIn, X, Reddit, or Facebook against a goal you write, and keeps only the posts worth your time. It runs on our servers, so nothing needs to be installed or left open.

Best for

• PitchGhost fits sales, customer success, and marketing teams that want the few posts a day worth a response across four networks, with the response drafted and approved by a person.
• OutX fits individual reps and founders who live on LinkedIn, want a free or $99 starting point, and are happy to automate likes and comments from their own profile.

How each one finds posts

OutX starts from a prompt. You describe what you want in plain English, and OutX generates the keywords, with must-include and excluded terms you can edit. You can also build watchlists of LinkedIn profiles and companies, up to 200 per watchlist. Each post that matches gets intent labels, such as buying signal, hiring, or competitor mention, and a relevance score you can filter on. Reddit gets its own watchlist and its own feed.

OutX collects LinkedIn data through its Chrome extension, using a teammate’s logged-in browser session. According to its docs, the extension must have been active in the last 48 hours, and scanning pauses when the computer is off or the browser is closed. Checks run every 24 hours on Growth, every 12 hours on Expert, and every 6 hours on Ultimate.

PitchGhost starts from a goal. Search queries decide what a Ghost reads. The goal decides what becomes a Find. You write it the way you would brief a new hire. For example, “Find me support leaders unhappy with their help desk. Skip vendors and job listings.” The more descriptive, the better. Every Find shows Ghost’s logic, so you can see why a post was kept. On LinkedIn, a Ghost can also watch a list of people or company pages, including a list from HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, Folk, or HighLevel.

Your Ghost finds posts without using your accounts. Linking one is optional, and only needed to respond from PitchGhost. Ghosts check as often as every hour, whether your laptop is open or not.

What you do with a result

OutX leans toward automation. Auto-engagement rules like or comment on matching posts from your personal profile or company page, with an hourly cap you set. For posts that matter more, it drafts a comment you can edit before posting. Alerts arrive by email, or in Slack on Expert and up.

PitchGhost keeps a person in the loop. Finds land in Slack, Teams, Discord, or email. On Pro and Expert, each one comes with a Suggested response in your voice, whether a comment, a reply, or a connection request. You can respond on LinkedIn, X, or Reddit in one click with your own account, and nothing is sent until someone on your team approves it. Finds can also go to your CRM as a note or a task, or to your own systems through webhooks, the API, and MCP.

OutX is cheaper to start, and its free plan never asks for a card. PitchGhost costs more but covers twice the networks, checks more often, and has no cap on Ghosts or Finds.

When OutX is the better pick

OutX does some things PitchGhost does not. It has a free plan, and its paid plans start at $99 a month. Its auto-engagement rules keep your profile active without you scrolling LinkedIn. It exports Sales Navigator searches and finds emails. On Expert and up, it also tracks the comments that specific people leave. If you are one founder or rep working only on LinkedIn, and you want automated likes and comments, OutX is a sensible choice.

Bottom line

Choose OutX for low-cost, automated LinkedIn engagement from one browser. Choose PitchGhost when your team needs the posts worth a response on LinkedIn, X, Reddit, and Facebook, found on our servers and answered by a person. Write one goal and test it with a 7-day trial on any plan.
