Turn the evidence into a working routine

Choose one of the documented behaviors below and check how it applies to your own account. Keep the platform setting separate from the tool you use: a tool does not change who the platform allows to see a post. Review your results before expanding the routine, and keep the decisions about your audience and conversations in your own hands.

Where Booost Business fits

Booost Business provides the following controls. These are product capabilities; they are separate from the platform behaviors described above.

Booost Business is a desktop app that runs the outreach on the user's own machine; each LinkedIn account lives in an isolated browser session there, the session is never handed to a vendor's cloud, and no data centre logs into the account as you. It is an app, not a browser extension.

Booost runs several LinkedIn accounts from one install, each in a fully isolated browser session with its own warm-up phase, trust score, limits and circuit-breaker state.

Booost Business also manages X (Twitter) as a channel, on the same session-based architecture as LinkedIn.

Choose the next step

Start with the part of your workflow that you can inspect and repeat. Check the relevant account settings in the platform itself, keep your activity deliberate, and assess what happens before you scale it. Treat the source notes as boundaries for that decision, rather than as a promise of reach or a fixed result.

The three questions you are already asking

Will this get my account restricted?

It is the question we designed the product around, not one we answer afterwards. Booost runs on your own machine, paces every action like a person working a normal day, warms new accounts up over weeks, and stops the instant LinkedIn or X pushes back. No session is handed to anyone’s cloud.

Do I have to set up an AI?

It depends on the edition. On Pro Booost’s AI is included — you install it and it works. On Basic you bring your own key across 20 providers, or run the model entirely on your own machine.

Isn’t there something cheaper?

Yes, and we will tell you which. But you pay for this either way: in money, or in a restricted account and the months it takes to rebuild what was in it. One of those two bills is much larger, and it arrives without warning.

Seven days free. Then €79 a month per account.

Booost Business is a desktop application: it runs on your own machine, and your LinkedIn and X sessions never leave it. Nothing to set up on a server, no card to start.

  • Cancel any time, from the billing portal. Your data stays on your machine either way.
