Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes to Signado.

Improved

Scale Plan Now Includes 50,000 Credits

The Scale plan just got a major boost. You now get 50,000 credits per month — up from 40,000 — giving you 25% more room to scan, monitor, and message at full speed.

What changed:

  • 50,000 monthly credits — Monitor more contacts, run larger campaigns, and generate more AI messages without hitting your limit mid-cycle
  • Same features — Priority support, 1-on-1 onboarding, additional workspaces, and everything else Scale includes

If you're already on Scale, your next billing cycle will reflect the new credit allowance automatically.

Improved

Faster Campaign Wizard

The campaign wizard now loads faster and handles larger campaigns without breaking a sweat.

What changed:

  • Instant table rendering — The "Select Context" step now virtualizes the lead table. Whether you have 50 or 500 contacts, only visible rows are rendered. Scrolling is smooth, no more layout lag on large campaigns
  • Faster initial load — Signal data is now fetched in a single optimized query instead of multiple sequential requests. The wizard loads in one round-trip, not four
  • On-demand signal options — Signal type and specific signal dropdowns now load their options when you open them, instead of pre-loading every signal for every company upfront. Cached per company, so reopening is instant
  • Fixed: missing contacts in large campaigns — Campaigns with 1,000+ contacts could silently show fewer leads than expected. This has been fixed — all contacts now load regardless of campaign size
  • Faster signal saves — Clicking "Next: Write Template" now saves all signal selections in a single database call instead of one request per lead
Improved

Email Status Now Visible in Campaigns

Campaign results now show the email validation status for each contact, right next to their email address.

What changed:

  • Email Status column — See whether a contact's email is Valid, Invalid, or Risky directly in your campaign view. No need to switch back to your list to check
  • Same badges you know — Uses the same color-coded badges as your contacts table: green for Valid, red for Invalid, orange for Risky, and a dash when not yet validated
  • Better outreach decisions — Spot invalid emails before exporting. Skip bad addresses and prioritize LinkedIn DMs or other channels for contacts with risky emails

This helps you avoid bounces and choose the right outreach channel for each contact.

New

Credit Packs — Top Up Anytime

Running low on credits mid-cycle? You no longer have to wait for your next billing reset or upgrade your plan. Credit packs let you top up instantly.

What's new:

  • Three packs — 10,000 credits ($249), 25,000 credits ($549), or 40,000 credits ($849). One-time purchase, no commitment
  • Never expire — Purchased credits stay on your account forever. They're even preserved if you cancel and come back later
  • Smart deduction — Monthly credits are always used first. Purchased credits kick in only when your monthly pool runs out
  • Buy from billing page — Head to Settings → Billing and scroll to "Need More Credits?" Or click "Buy Credits" in the low-balance banner
  • Usage breakdown — Your usage page now shows Monthly and Purchased balances separately so you always know where you stand

Available on all paid plans (Starter, Growth, Scale).

Improved

Contacts Table: Faster, Smarter, Cleaner

Big quality-of-life pass on the contacts table. Faster page loads, new filtering tools, and a cleaner layout so you can find and act on contacts without the clutter.

What changed:

  • Status filters — New "Monitor" and "Email" filter dropdowns let you narrow your list by monitoring status or email validation result. Multi-select supported — combine "Valid" and "Unknown" to see all sendable contacts at once
  • "Not verified" filter — Quickly isolate contacts that haven't been email-validated yet, so you know exactly who still needs checking
  • Filter counts — Each filter option shows how many contacts match (e.g., "Valid 63"), so you see the distribution before you click
  • Select all across pages — New banner lets you select all matching contacts in one click, even across multiple pages. No more switching to "All" and freezing your browser
  • Smarter toolbar layout — Search and filters live on their own row. Bulk actions only appear when you've selected contacts. Less visual noise, faster scanning
  • Pagination default — Table now defaults to 25 rows per page instead of loading everything at once. Large lists (500+) load instantly
  • Email validation badge — "Valid" status badge is now visible in both light and dark mode

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed double-charge on email validation — If validation took longer than expected, the dialog could let you click "Validate" again and charge credits twice. Now it shows "Close" after timeout and blocks re-triggers. Server also rejects duplicate validation jobs
  • Fixed silent credit failure — If credit deduction failed after moving contacts to monitoring, they stayed moved without being charged. Now contacts are rolled back to the original list and you see an error message
New

Credits Replace Fixed Limits

Fixed per-feature quotas are gone. Every plan now comes with a credit pool you allocate however you want — more monitoring, more AI messages, or keep a buffer for mid-month changes.

What changed:

  • Unified credit pool — Starter gets 5,000/mo, Growth 20,000/mo, Scale 40,000/mo. Free plan: 500 lifetime credits
  • Three contact states — Daily monitoring, weekly monitoring, or stored (free). You decide who gets checked and how often
  • Monitoring wizard — Click "Start Monitoring" on any list. The wizard proposes a split and handles the rest
  • Credit calculator — New tool on the pricing page. Adjust sliders to see which plan fits your team
  • Sidebar balance — Your credit balance is always visible. Usage page shows full transaction history
  • No surprise charges — When credits run out, monitoring pauses automatically. Upgrade or wait for your next billing cycle

Same price, more flexibility. You control where your budget goes.

Improved

Help Center Updated for Credits

The Help Center now reflects how Signado actually works — credits, not fixed quotas.

New articles:

Rewritten articles:

  • Choosing Your Plan — Now shows credit pools per tier instead of fixed limits
  • Tracking Your Credit Usage — Balance, burn rate, and transaction history replace old quota meters
  • Start Monitoring a List — Wizard flow replaces the old slot-based activation
  • Scraping and AI generation guides — Updated with credit costs

15 articles updated in total. Old "Priority/Watchlist" terminology replaced with daily/weekly monitoring across the board.

New

Smart Split: Upload Your Full List, We Handle the Rest

No more trimming your Apollo export down to 50 contacts. Upload your entire list — 500, 2,000, whatever you have — and click "Start Monitoring."

How it works:

  • One-click setup — Signado scores your contacts by job title, LinkedIn presence, and company data, then proposes which ones to check daily, weekly, or keep stored
  • Daily monitoring — Your hottest prospects, checked every day for new signals
  • Weekly monitoring — Long-term tracking for accounts not yet in cycle
  • Stored — The rest of your list, ready to activate anytime at no cost
  • Adjust anytime — Move contacts between daily, weekly, and stored as priorities shift

Stop hand-picking which 50 contacts to monitor. Upload the full list and let Smart Split do the math.

Improved

More AI Messages on Every Paid Plan

We've bumped up the AI message limits across all paid plans following user requests.

New limits:

  • Starter: 51 → 153 messages/month (3x)
  • Growth: 150 → 450 messages/month (3x)
  • Scale: 300 → 900 messages/month (3x)

Generate more personalized outreach without worrying about hitting your quota.

Fixed

Better Company Matching for Campaigns

Fixed an issue where "Draft Campaign" could fail with "No contacts found" for companies with name variations in their signals.

What changed:

  • Campaign creation now correctly matches contacts when a signal uses a different company name (e.g., a news article mentioning the full legal name instead of the brand name)
  • Domain-based matching is now prioritized — if the website domain matches, the contact is found regardless of name differences
Improved

Select All Signals at Once

Selecting signals for your campaigns just got faster. You can now select all filtered signals with a single click.

What's new:

  • Select all checkbox — A new "Select all" option in the signal feed filter bar lets you select every signal matching your current filters in one click
  • Works with any filter — Filter by signal type, date range, or score first, then select all matching results
  • One-click deselect — Click again to deselect all, or use the Clear button as before

No more clicking signals one by one. Filter down to what matters, select all, and draft your campaign.

Improved

See the Signal Source in Campaign Results

Campaign results now show the original signal source right in the table. No more switching between pages to check what triggered the outreach.

What's new:

  • Source column — A clickable link next to each signal takes you straight to the original LinkedIn post, news article, or job listing that was used to generate the message
  • CSV export — The signal URL is now included when you export your campaign results
  • Works everywhere — Applies to all your existing campaigns, not just new ones

Verify context at a glance before you hit send.

Improved

Smarter AI Messages + New Template Editor

Your AI-generated outreach messages just got a major upgrade. We rebuilt the prompt engine and refreshed the template editor so your emails sound like they were written by a human, not a robot.

Better messages out of the box:

  • Icebreakers that observe, not assume — The AI now references signals casually without making assumptions about your prospect's problems
  • Specific over generic — Messages include real numbers and metrics instead of vague claims
  • No more AI-sounding language — We added 50+ banned phrases and patterns that make emails sound robotic (words like "leverage", "synergy", "delve", phrases like "it's not just X, it's Y")
  • Signal-aware context — The AI now uses richer signal data (funding amounts, hiring departments, partnership details) to write more relevant copy

New template editor features:

  • 3 AI variables by default — Starter plans and above now start with Icebreaker, Value Prop, and CTA pre-configured
  • Quick-add preset variables — One-click to add common variables (Icebreaker, Value Prop, CTA, P.S. Line) with smart defaults
  • Variable-specific word limits — Each variable type now has its own default length (icebreakers stay short, value props get more room)

Every new campaign you create will use the upgraded defaults. Your existing campaigns are unaffected.

Improved

More Reliable Signal Selection in Campaigns

Selecting signals for your campaign leads is now more reliable, regardless of how your company data was imported or edited.

What's improved:

  • Smarter company matching — Signals now match your contacts even when company names differ between your list and scraped data, or when website URLs are stored in different formats
  • Case-insensitive matching — "Acme Corp" and "ACME CORP" are now treated as the same company when loading signals
  • All signal types visible — When drafting outreach from a company, you'll see every signal type (funding, hiring, news, executive activity, etc.) sorted by strongest — not just the one you clicked on

Your signal selection in Step 1 now works consistently whether you start from a company view or from All Activity.

Improved

Help Center: Instantly & Analytics Guides

We've expanded the Help Center with new guides covering the latest features.

New articles:

  • Send via Instantly — Step-by-step guide to connecting your API key, mapping variables, and pushing leads directly to Instantly campaigns
  • Outreach Analytics — How to read your campaign performance metrics, what data gets tracked, and troubleshooting empty dashboards
  • Review & Export updated with inline editing documentation and the Send via Instantly option

All guides follow the same concise format — get in, find your answer, get out.

New

  • AI variables — Refine any AI-generated text like icebreakers or value propositions in the purple cells
  • Subject line & body — Click the expand button on any lead to edit the full email message before exporting or sending

Every edit saves instantly to the database. Your lists stay in sync, your exports reflect the latest version, and nothing gets lost.

Improved

Faster Live Updates Everywhere

Campaign generation, Google Maps scraping, and preview generation now update instantly in your browser — no more waiting or refreshing.

What's improved:

  • Campaign progress — Watch your message generation progress in real time as each lead completes, with a smooth progress bar and live counter
  • Google Maps scrape — New contacts appear immediately when a scrape finishes, no page refresh needed
  • Preview generation — See your AI-generated preview the moment it's ready

New

Track how your outreach campaigns are performing — right from Signado. The new Analytics page shows real-time metrics for every campaign where you've pushed leads via Signado.

Improved

Database Security Hardening

We've strengthened the security layer between your browser and our database with tighter access controls.

What we did:

  • Stricter read/write permissions — Your workspace data is now locked down to read-only at the database level, with writes going through dedicated secure functions that validate every request
  • Column-level protection — Sensitive fields like billing status and usage counters are no longer directly accessible from client requests
  • Standardized authorization checks — All database access policies now use a single, consistent method to verify workspace ownership

These changes follow industry best practices for database access control. No changes to how any feature works — just a stronger security foundation under the hood.

New

Guided Setup to Your First Signal

New users now get a step-by-step setup guide right on the dashboard that walks them from sign-up to their first buying signal.

4 steps to value:

  • Complete your business profile — Tell Signado what you sell and who you sell to so signal scoring is calibrated to your business
  • Upload your contacts — Import a CSV of target companies and contacts (sample template included)
  • Set a Priority list — Priority lists are scanned daily for buying signals like job postings, funding rounds, and tech changes
  • See your first signals — Signals start appearing within 24 hours of activating Priority monitoring

Also new:

  • Better empty states on the Dashboard, Signals, and Lists pages with clear next-step guidance and help links
  • Sample CSV template — download a ready-to-fill template with the right columns so your first upload goes smoothly
  • The guide is dismissible anytime and can be resumed from a link on the dashboard

No more guessing what to do next after signing up.

Fixed

More Reliable Hiring Signals

Fixed an issue where hiring signal detection could fail for companies with limited careers page data.

What was fixed:

  • Hiring signals no longer fail when a company's careers page returns incomplete data
  • Companies with minimal job listing pages are now handled gracefully
  • Signal processing continues for all remaining companies in your list

Your hiring signals will now run smoothly across your entire monitored list, even for companies with sparse online job data.

Improved

Performance Boost Across the App

We've shipped a round of under-the-hood performance improvements that make Signado noticeably faster.

Faster page loads:

  • Dashboard loads faster — data queries now run fully in parallel instead of waiting on each other
  • Campaign Wizard starts up quicker with parallel data fetching
  • Campaign Stats and AI Generation also benefit from the same optimizations

Smaller, leaner app:

  • Reduced initial page weight — third-party scripts now load after the page is ready, so you see content sooner
  • Optimized icon loading — icons are now loaded individually instead of as one large bundle, cutting page load times

Everything you see and interact with should feel snappier. No changes to how any feature works — just faster.

Improved

What changed:
