Signado

Signado monitors public LinkedIn activity around sources you choose — keywords, a competitor's profile, a creator your buyers follow, a company page, or a single post you paste in — and surfaces the people posting or commenting there. Each lead gets enriched (person + company), scored against a business profile you set up, and kept attached to the original post or comment so you know why they appeared. It never asks for a LinkedIn login, cookies, or browser extension; discovery runs on Signado's own infrastructure, which the vendor states explicitly in its FAQ and compares directly against tools like PhantomBuster and Gojiberry that do connect to your account (https://signado.io/compare/apollo). Signado does not send LinkedIn messages itself — it drafts them and you send from Gmail/SMTP, a LinkedIn DM you copy in, or a connected tool like Instantly or HeyReach.

Four plans, billed monthly, no per-seat fee: Lite $29/mo (1,000 credits, 5 active source slots, up to ~200 qualified leads/month), Starter $59/mo (2,500 credits, 12 slots), Growth $99/mo (5,000 credits, 25 slots, marked 'Most Popular'), Scale $349/mo (20,000 credits, 100 slots). Credits: finding + enriching + qualifying + scoring a new lead costs 5, finding an email costs 5 more (only if one is found), an AI message or comment draft costs 3, a company 'Deep Dive' costs 40. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial with full credits; a card is required but you pay nothing if you cancel before the trial ends (https://signado.io/pricing). The full ladder and the per-action cost table are both public on the pricing page, which is unusually complete for a tool this size.

Signado runs an MCP server (https://mcp.signado.io/mcp) that connects to Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, and Grok Bot via OAuth, with no API keys to manage, and documents every tool's credit cost on its own page: reading, listing and exporting leads is free, source previews cost 1 credit, discovery costs 5 credits per new lead, email lookup 5, AI drafts 3 — identical to in-app pricing, with no connection fee (https://signado.io/mcp). Each paid MCP call returns credits charged, balance after, and session spend, which is a more disciplined receipt pattern than most early MCP integrations bother with.

Signado's headline claim — that messaging people about something they just posted or commented gets more replies than messaging a cold list — comes from a single field test the company ran on its own LinkedIn account: 1,184 connection requests over two months, split into 'classic list-based targeting' (139 messages sent, 25 replies, 18.0%) and people who had just posted or commented about a relevant problem (149 messages sent, 78 replies, 52.3%), a 2.9x difference (https://signado.io/statistics). It's one account, one tester, self-reported, and not independently audited, though the methodology and raw counts are published rather than just the headline ratio — credit where due. The site also cites Expandi's much larger third-party benchmark (6.7M messages, 10.4% average reply rate) as context, and is explicit that the two numbers aren't directly comparable since Expandi's includes follow-ups.

Signado is operated by Joytishsingh (Ashvin) JANKEE, trading as Signado, a sole proprietorship registered in France (SIREN 882981756, Vert-Saint-Denis) — confirmed against the French company registry (https://www.societe.com/manager/Ashvin.JANKEE.xJ__dOxJSyq.html) and matching the entity named in Signado's own Terms of Service (https://signado.io/legal/terms). It's a single-founder company: Ashvin Jankee previously ran engineering programs in aeronautics and robotics, started an AI automation agency (ActivDev) in 2024, and built Signado in late 2025 to solve his own lead-gen problem (https://signado.io/about). There's no funding announcement, no team page beyond the founder, and independent review coverage is essentially nonexistent: Trustpilot shows exactly one review (5 stars, July 2026, from a self-described agency owner) with no recent review-solicitation history flagged by Trustpilot itself (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/signado.io); G2's review page returned a CAPTCHA wall we could not get past, so the G2 testimonial quoted on Signado's own homepage could not be independently corroborated.

There's no dedicated security/trust page (signado.io/security 404s), but the Privacy Policy names its actual subprocessors with links rather than a generic 'enterprise-grade security' line: Clerk for auth, Stripe for payment, Supabase for the database, Vercel for hosting, PostHog for analytics, Sentry for error monitoring, DigitalOcean for automation workflows, Resend for transactional email (https://signado.io/legal/privacy). Data is stored/processed in the US and Germany. The Terms of Service state plainly that the service 'is not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (HIPAA, FISMA...)' and prohibits use that would trigger GLBA — fine for its stated market of agencies and GTM consultants, but worth knowing if you're in a regulated vertical. Disputes are resolved by binding arbitration in Paris under French law via the European Court of Arbitration, with the proceeding language set to French (https://signado.io/legal/terms).
