Koala shut down. Here’s the closest thing to a replacement.
Koala shut down on September 30, 2025 (Cursor/Anysphere acquisition). This page exists because thousands of teams still search for it — here’s what to use instead.
Koala was acquired by Anysphere (Cursor) in July 2025 and shut down on September 30, 2025. If you relied on it, your visitor identification, ICP filters, product-usage signals, and Slack alerts went dark — permanently. There is no migration path, no data export window left, no successor product.
What made Koala loved was the combination: de-anonymize visitors, score intent from real behavior, and alert the right rep at the right moment — at a price a B2B SaaS team could self-serve. That combination is exactly what BusinessMCP ships: cookieless identification, behavior-based intent scoring, Slack alerts, and (going further than Koala did) an AI SDR that acts on the signal instead of just reporting it.
| BusinessMCP | Koala (RIP) | |

| Company-level identification | Yes | Yes |
| Global coverage (not US-only) | Yes | Yes |
| Cookieless, GDPR-first tracking | Yes | Cookie-based |
| Built-in AI SDR outreach | Yes | No |
| Full web analytics included | Yes | No |
| Built-in CRM + booking | Yes | No |
| AI-ready MCP endpoint for your data | Yes | No |
Why teams switch
The same core loop, still self-serve
Identify → score intent → alert → act. BusinessMCP’s visitor identification + lead scoring + Slack notifications reproduce the Koala workflow without an enterprise sales cycle.
Product-signal scoring, Koala-style
Koala’s edge was combining site visits with product usage. BusinessMCP’s PQL system does the same: mark product milestones, and accounts get scored on fit × intent with explainable reasons.
It acts, not just alerts
Koala told you who to talk to. BusinessMCP’s AI SDR researches the account, drafts the message, sends it (with approval or autonomously), and books the meeting.
What Koala refugees are comparing
| Plan | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Koala | Shut down | Sept 30, 2025 — no successor product |
| Warmly | ~$700/mo+ | annual contracts, agents $15k–$30k/yr |
| RB2B | $79–$999/mo | person-level, US-only, alert-only |
| BusinessMCP | $19–$499/mo | identification + scoring + AI outreach, month-to-month |
Where BusinessMCP is NOT the right choice
An alternatives page you can trust has to cut both ways. Honestly:
- BusinessMCP identifies companies, not individual people, out of the box — person-level reveal (US-only, like every person-level vendor) requires connecting your own RB2B or Leadpipe key.
- We are a younger product than most tools on this page. You get faster iteration and direct founder support, but a smaller integration marketplace than a 10-year-old incumbent.
- If you only want a raw contact database to export CSVs from, a data vendor is a better fit — BusinessMCP is built around acting on your own website traffic.
How to migrate
- 1
Install the BusinessMCP tracking script (one snippet, cookieless — no consent banner required for the analytics layer).
- 2
Recreate your Koala ICP filters as segments: industry, size, geography, pages visited, repeat-visit thresholds.
- 3
Reconnect Slack and point intent alerts at the channel your reps already watch.
- 4
If you used Koala’s product-usage signals, map them to BusinessMCP product milestones (`set_product_milestone`) so PQL scoring picks them up.
- 5
Optionally enable the AI SDR in assisted mode — every high-intent account gets a researched draft instead of just an alert.
Frequently asked questions
Why did Koala shut down?
Anysphere (the company behind Cursor) acquired Koala in July 2025, primarily for the team, and shut the product down on September 30, 2025. Customers had to migrate off before that date.
What’s the closest direct replacement for Koala?
For the identify-score-alert loop at self-serve pricing, BusinessMCP is the closest fit and adds the outreach layer Koala never had. If you specifically need US person-level reveal, look at RB2B; if you have enterprise budget, Warmly or 6sense.
Can I import my old Koala data?
If you exported accounts/contacts before the shutdown, yes — import them into the BusinessMCP CRM by email/domain and future visits re-stitch to those records automatically. Historical Koala visit data that wasn’t exported is unrecoverable.
