Engage AI is a Chrome extension used by about 30,000 people to write better comments on LinkedIn. Podawaa brings real, relevant people to your posts. One helps you show up in other people's threads; the other makes your own posts travel. Checked on October 9, 2026.
Podawaa vs Engage AI at a Glance

|---|---|---|
| Main job | Distribution of your posts | AI-suggested comments you post on others' posts |
| Who posts the comment | Real members engaging with your post | You, after reviewing the suggestion |
| Community | None to join on paid plans | Optional sessions where members comment on each other's posts |
| Runs as | Web app (free plan uses the Chrome extension) | Chrome extension |
| Entry price | Free, then €59 / month | $50 / month (Individual) |
What Engage AI Does Well
- Comment suggestions you edit and post yourself, so every comment is still yours
- A large user base: 4.5/5 on the Chrome Web Store from 329 ratings
- Useful for social selling: commenting thoughtfully on prospects' posts is one of the best ways to get noticed
Recent store reviews mention features removed over time, slow support and a price that feels high for what's left. Its Group plan costs $250 a month.
The Community Part
Engage AI also runs an "Engagement Community" where members are sent posts to comment on during scheduled sessions. The comments are manual, which is better than scripted ones, but it is still coordinated engagement.
On March 13, 2026, LinkedIn published its position on coordinated engagement: groups organized to like and comment on each other's posts are removed, comments posted through extensions or scripts are hidden from "Most relevant", and accounts can see reduced reach or restrictions (news.linkedin.com, "Authentic content and conversations"). That policy concerns every reciprocal engagement tool, and it concerns Podawaa too.
What Podawaa Does Instead
- Boost a post and real LinkedIn members who match your language and industry react and comment in the hours after you publish.
- Targeting by language (English, French, Spanish) and, from Scale, by industry.
- AI comments written for each post, in the post's language, from Scale.
- Growth Autopilot boosts your new posts as soon as they go live, so the first hour is never wasted.
- Paid plans are Private: your account never engages for others and no browser extension is needed. The free plan uses the Chrome extension.
- Fair usage: if a boost falls short after 72 hours of retries, it isn't counted in your plan's usage.
The difference we can defend: on Podawaa's paid plans (Private), your account never engages for anyone else and no extension runs on it. In a reciprocal group, your account spends its day liking and commenting on strangers' posts, which is exactly the behavior LinkedIn describes.
Pricing: free plan with 5 boosts a month, no card. Paid plans are Scale €59, Accelerate €89 and Dominate €159 a month (excl. VAT), or −17% billed yearly. Weekly plans start at 80% off the first week. Refund within 30 days of payment. Prices checked on October 9, 2026.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Engage AI if you want to comment more and better on your prospects' posts.
- Podawaa if you want your own posts to be seen by your industry.
- Both if you do social selling: comment on their posts, and let them see yours.
No tool can make boosted activity invisible to LinkedIn, and LinkedIn can restrict any account it considers abusive. Podawaa spreads reactions over hours, uses real profiles from the same language and market, and on paid plans your own account never engages for anyone else. That lowers the risk; it does not remove it, and we would rather say so than promise zero risk.
💡 Commenting gets you noticed in their feed. Podawaa gets your post into it.
