Surfolks

Overview

Surfolks is a feed tool for people who use LinkedIn and X for business. You add the people who matter to a watchlist, and Surfolks collects their recent posts into one place instead of two separate timelines. Goals you describe, such as customer discovery, partnerships or authority building, filter that feed down to posts you can reply to.

Each post carries Engagement Insights: how it is performing relative to that author's own audience, and how fresh it is. The stated aim is to help you decide in a second where to spend a minute.

How it works

You add people from LinkedIn or X, Surfolks collects their recent activity, and the feed is ranked so posts worth replying to are not buried. Alongside the feed you add goals, and matching posts are surfaced; one person can match several goals without appearing twice. Filters cover platform, post type, time and goal.

What it does not do

Surfolks is a listening and prioritisation tool. It does not post, comment or send direct messages on your behalf, and it does not replace LinkedIn or X. It also does not claim to track every action you take on either platform: it records activity within its own workflow and uses available platform data where supported.

The site states that it collects public posts from people on your watchlist and from public accounts surfaced for your goals, that login credentials are not stored, and that data is encrypted. You can remove any person or disable your account at any time; erasure or export can be requested by email.

Who it is for

The product is positioned at founders building relationships with customers, partners and investors; consultants and fractional executives staying visible with prospects; sales and GTM teams doing pre-outreach listening and champion tracking; and agencies tracking influencers, partners and client contacts. Tracking only a handful of key people is also within scope, since the plan centres on a shortlist rather than a large following.

Pricing

One plan covers 50 people on the watchlist, the combined LinkedIn and X feed, goal filters and Engagement Insights. It is sold two ways: $29/month at a founding price listed as $49/month outside the offer, or $99 once for lifetime access while the launch offer runs. Extra people are $19/month per additional 50, regularly $39.

There is no free plan and no free trial; the first payment is instead covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. For comparison, Typefully and Hypefury also work across LinkedIn and X but focus on writing and scheduling posts rather than collecting other people's activity, and Buffer covers scheduling across a wider set of networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Surfolks different from X Lists or LinkedIn notifications?

X Lists group accounts on one platform only, with no collection, cross-platform view or goal filtering. LinkedIn notifications tell you something happened but keep no archive or filters. Surfolks collects both platforms into one feed with a filterable history per person.

Which platforms does Surfolks support?

LinkedIn and X today; the site says more platforms are possible in future.

Does Surfolks post or comment for me?

No. It helps you decide who deserves attention, then sends you to LinkedIn or X to engage yourself.

Is there a free plan or free trial?

No. It is paid from day one, with a 30-day money-back guarantee on the first payment instead.

How many people can I track?

The plan includes 50 people. Add 50 more at a time for $19/month each, regularly $39, on either option.
