How we grade them
| 2.2GPAHeyReachFair | 2.8GPAWaalaxyGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CYou pay per LinkedIn sender, so five reps who each send pay $63 a head billed yearly, $315 a month in all. That's at the dear end of this category, just short of the dearest tenth at $69. Agencies with up to 25 senders pay $799 a month flat. | BEach person has their own seat, so five on Pro pay €19 a head billed yearly, inside the cheaper quarter's $32.50 even after converting from euros. Only the yearly rate is shown, and email in the same campaign needs Business at €69 a user. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial of Growth with 3 LinkedIn accounts and no card. Enough to try sending from several accounts. | CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial on every plan. That's enough to run a real sequence and see who accepts. |
| Features | CLinkedIn done thoroughly: requests, messages, voice notes and profile views across many senders, one inbox and client workspaces. The gap is email: it sends none itself, and email steps come from Instantly or Smartlead on separate subscriptions. | BThe whole job on Business: LinkedIn requests and messages from 99+ ready-made sequences that stop on a reply, plus cold email sequences and follow-ups from several senders. Pro and Advanced are LinkedIn only, and the LinkedIn Inbox is €20 a month after 500 free conversations. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. Each LinkedIn account has to be connected and kept within its limits, and on Agency and Unlimited you bring your own proxies. | BNo App Store rating on record, but this is about as little setup as the category gets: a Chrome extension on the LinkedIn account you already have, and 99+ ready-made sequences to pick from. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Instantly, Smartlead, Clay, HubSpot, RB2B, Trigify, Make and Zapier, plus an API, webhooks, an MCP server and a command-line tool. No phone or desktop app on record. | BWeb and a Chrome extension, with HubSpot and Pipedrive, plus Make, Zapier, n8n and the API from Advanced. No phone or desktop app on record. |
