Why people switch from Awario
Volume vs Relevance
Awario is built to collect a lot of mentions. Updately scores each post for buying intent against your business, so you read the handful that matter instead of thousands.
Updately monitors LinkedIn posts alongside X, Reddit, Bluesky and Hacker News on every plan, which is where many B2B buyers ask for recommendations.
From Alert to Conversation
Awario finds the post and leaves the reply to you. Updately can push a mention into a signal, so the person who posted it is researched and contacted on LinkedIn.

Start listening freeWhat Updately customers say
“We were finding prospects who were literally complaining about their PagerDuty bill on Reddit and Twitter. Updately surfaced them, crafted the perfect message, and we just had to show up to the demo. It's like having a sales team that never sleeps.”
“The AI sauce is the magic. It removes all the noise and only gives us relevant, high-intent ICPs. It's the best match fit we've ever seen.”
“I found myself looking at some of the messages that it's created and thinking like, wow, where did it find this? This went really deep to find information that you could never do in just a cursory search.”
“Updately gave us control of what we were doing as opposed to giving the keys and letting them go. But most importantly, the reason why we joined Updately was because it was a third of the price of the agency that we were using to do a similar type of outreach.”
“Enterprise sales is all about relevance and timing. Updately helped us reach the right people with the right message at exactly the right moment. We went from a standing start to $2M+ in pipeline faster than I thought possible for a startup our size.”
“We hit seven figures in pipeline in under 60 days. That's not a typo. Updately's research on each prospect was so good that enterprise CTOs were responding to our outreach within hours. We've never seen anything like it.”
“Updately's intent scoring completely transformed our outbound motion. We stopped chasing keywords and started closing real buyers. The ROI has been phenomenal.”
“I'm able to come into those [pipeline review] meetings and be like, look at what I booked through Updately. You know, if my other kind of channels have slowed down, I'm like, but Updately, Updately's there.”
