# ReacherX vs Micro: meeting new people or managing your daily work?

Understand the overlap in AI and contact management, and the difference between an outreach goal and a connected work app.

Email and calendar are on my roadmap for ReacherX. Micro already brings those into its app. If you're looking at these two products because you need help with your inbox, that difference matters immediately.

Both have an AI assistant and a way to keep track of people. Neither hosted product requires you to be a developer. Here is what I would look at when deciding between them.

## Try this in Micro

Pick a person you already work with. Can you find the email, the meeting, and the notes you need before speaking again? Check how contacts are created from your connected accounts and how much you need to organize yourself.

That would tell you something useful about whether Micro fits your day. I haven't measured the time it saves or tested its assistant against ReacherX's.

## Try this in ReacherX

Pick someone you need to find. For example, you might need speakers who have worked on web accessibility. Tell △ Agent what experience matters. It searches X/Twitter and LinkedIn, checks possible matches, and gathers background.

Read a profile, then ask for a plan to approach the person. You can change the plan and continue available X/Twitter or LinkedIn conversations from that profile. Select several people if you want an individual plan for each.

Keep the event in its own workspace. A hiring search can have another workspace with different people, requirements, plans, and saved instructions. Social accounts you connect stay shared across your account, so you link X/Twitter or LinkedIn once rather than per workspace. The [CRM guide](/blog/manage-people-with-reacherx) explains the stages.

So which one is for you? Micro, if your day mostly runs through the email, calendar, and documents you already have. ReacherX, if it starts with people you haven't found yet.

I build ReacherX, and the Micro documentation above was checked September 10, 2026. Compare [ReacherX pricing](/pricing) with Micro's current offer against the work you actually do.
