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

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

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

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.

Valley

Buyer signals

The site lists hiring signals, job-change alerts, funding rounds, and LinkedIn post and profile engagers, including those of competitors.

Research and personalized messages

Valley researches each prospect and writes messages in your voice; drafts can be reviewed and edited before sending.

LinkedIn and email sequences

LinkedIn campaigns and follow-ups run on every plan; email can be combined in the same sequence from a connected Gmail or Microsoft inbox.

Unified inbox and analytics

Replies are managed in one inbox, with campaign analytics, ICP scoring and a copilot called Scout.

CRM, API and MCP

Integrations include HubSpot and Claude through MCP, plus an API.
