An honest look at how Tuco AI and Linq Blue stack up.
Linq is closing sales accounts
In October 2026 Linq began closing accounts that use it for sales enablement, prospecting and outreach, with lines removed from Monday 19 October 2026, as it refocuses on messaging APIs for AI agents. If you were weighing Linq Blue for sales follow-up, it is no longer available for that use. Tuco AI is built only for sales follow-up over iMessage at $149 a month with outbound included and no device to bring. Switching checklist at /migrate/linq.
