HeyReach vs Valley (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 Valley if

• Fits if you sell through LinkedIn first and email second
• Works for a team that wants buyer signals feeding the messages

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you add email, because Starter at $149 is LinkedIn only and Plus is $249 a seat
• Skip it if you will not hand over a payment method, since the 7-day trial needs one
• Watch out: a banner says Starter returns to $395 a seat from 9 November, yet the plan cards still showed $199 on 13 November
• Tight if you want credits, because prospect discovery and enrichment spend them and the credit price is not shown
• Not for you if you want a managed service, as the $1,499 a month Done-For-You plan had a waitlist
