HeyReach vs Skylead (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 Skylead if

• Fits if you want LinkedIn and email steps in the same sequence
• Works for agencies that want white-label and a client inbox

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're one person: $100 a seat is above the category's dearest tenth
• Watch out: the page doesn't say whether the $100 is billed monthly or yearly
• Not for you if you want AI SDR or enrichment included, since both are add-ons
• Watch out: Agency prices are a first-year promotion and the page doesn't show what follows

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.

Skylead

• The pricing page does not say whether the $100 seat price is billed monthly or annually.
• AI SDR and AI data enrichment are add-ons, not part of the All-in-one plan.
• Agency prices are marked as a first-year promotion, and the page does not show what follows.
• The 100,000 emails a month on All-in-one is a cap; the Agency plan lists a custom amount.
