Expandi vs Kakiyo (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Expandi if

• Fits if your outreach is mostly LinkedIn and you want it to run from the cloud with no browser left open
• Works for teams that log LinkedIn activity to HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're a team of five, at $79 a seat a month billed annually or $99 monthly
• Skip it if you want full cold email campaigns in the same tool, as email is limited to follow-ups
• Tight if you're trying it out, as there's no free plan and the trial lasts only 7 days
• Watch out: personalized images and GIFs cost extra, and video messages need a paid Sendspark add-on
• Watch out: it's web only, and more than 10 seats or white labeling are priced by sales

Pick Kakiyo if

• Fits if LinkedIn is your only outreach channel and you want the replies handled
• Works for founders running outbound from one account

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're one person: €125 a month for 1 account
• Not for you if you need email or other channels, since email is beta
• Watch out: the trial is Pioneer only
• Tight if you run many accounts: more than 5 goes to a sales conversation
• Skip it if you want a price in dollars, as the page lists euros

Expandi

Smart sequences

An if-then builder sends connection requests, messages, InMails, event invites and email follow-ups, choosing the next step from what each prospect does.

Account safety

Campaign types and priorities

Several campaign types, including a Mobile Connector campaign that adds 100 connection requests a week, with prioritization and recovery of campaigns.

Personalization

Dynamic placeholders in every message; personalized images and GIFs cost extra, and video messages come through a paid Sendspark integration.

Workspaces for teams

Team workspaces with duplicate prevention, tags and notes on conversations, and a central dashboard with step-by-step campaign statistics.

CRM sync, API and webhooks

Native HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive sync of LinkedIn activity, plus webhooks, API credentials, Zapier and an MCP server in beta.

Kakiyo

AI-written conversations

The agent writes each message from the prospect's profile and handles replies, objections and qualification questions instead of sending a fixed sequence.

Meeting booking

When a prospect qualifies, the agent proposes times and books the meeting on the connected calendar.

Autopilot, copilot or manual

Messages can go out automatically, wait for a person's approval, or be written by hand, set per campaign.

Cloud LinkedIn sessions

Accounts run in cloud browser sessions with a local IP and human-like delays, with no Chrome extension installed. The vendor says daily LinkedIn limits are respected automatically.

Email follow-up (beta)

If an invitation goes unanswered or a conversation stalls, follow-ups can go by email from your own Gmail or Google Workspace address, with an unsubscribe link and no tracking pixels.

Agency workspaces

The vendor describes unlimited client workspaces, a white-labeled dashboard and a per-client AI voice for agencies, with volume pricing for 10 or more accounts.
