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

Pick HeyReach if

• Fits if you run LinkedIn outreach for several clients and spread volume over many accounts
• Works for teams already sending email through Instantly or Smartlead

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want email and LinkedIn in one tool on one bill
• Pricey if every rep sends, at $64 per sender a month billed yearly or $79 monthly
• Tight if you need lots of contact data, as enrichment credits are a one-time 100 per sender on Growth
• Watch out: Agency and Unlimited make you bring your own proxies; only Growth includes one per sender
• Not for you if you want a phone or desktop app, as none is on record

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

HeyReach

• Each LinkedIn account is a paid sender; teammates, assistants and clients can be added at no charge.
• Agency and Unlimited require you to bring your own proxies; only Growth includes a residential proxy for each sender.
• Email steps run through the Instantly or Smartlead integrations, which are separate subscriptions.
• Enrichment credits are a one-time allowance (100 per sender on Growth); more have to be bought.

Kakiyo

• Prices are listed in euros; the page shows the monthly-billed figure by default and says quarterly and yearly billing cost less without stating the amounts here.
• The 14-day free trial is listed on the Pioneer plan only.
• Each paid agent includes 10,000 AI credits a month, shared by the team; extra credits are bought in Billing. The page's hidden data lists higher figures for two plans.
• LinkedIn only: email follow-up is marked beta, and the product runs in the browser with no desktop or mobile app listed.

HeyReach

LinkedIn actions

Automates connection requests, messages, follow-ups, voice notes and profile views, with an If Connected condition to treat existing connections differently.

Many senders per campaign

Unlimited campaigns can draw on many LinkedIn accounts, while each sender is held within its own daily limits.

Unified inbox

LinkedIn messages from every connected account land in one inbox, so nobody has to log in and out of individual accounts.

Multichannel with Instantly and Smartlead

Native integrations with Instantly and Smartlead add cold email to LinkedIn campaigns; HeyReach itself handles the LinkedIn side.

Client workspaces and white label

Agencies manage each client's senders, leads and campaigns in separate workspaces from one login; Agency and Unlimited add your own branding and domain.

API, webhooks, MCP and CLI

An API and custom webhooks, an MCP server for AI agents that build campaigns and tag replies, a command-line tool, and Clay, Make and Zapier links.

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.
