> LinkedIn and email outreach automation with AI-written messages

Closely automates LinkedIn outreach, with connection requests, profile visits, messages and follow-ups that pause when a lead replies, and adds email steps to the same sequence. It also finds verified emails and phone numbers from a waterfall of data sources, scores leads with AI and writes personalized messages. Plans are priced by the number of LinkedIn accounts connected, and every plan can be white-labeled for agencies.

- **Multichannel campaigns:** A conditional sequence builder mixes LinkedIn and email steps, with unlimited email accounts over Gmail, Outlook or SMTP and A/B tests on copy.
- **Email and phone finder:** Finds work emails and phone numbers by checking sources in turn until one returns a valid result, and pulls leads from Sales Navigator, posts and events.
- **AI agents:** Score leads against your ideal customer profile, research companies on the web for hiring, funding and tech stack, and write personalized messages.
- **Unified inbox and CRM sync:** LinkedIn messages, InMails and email replies land in one inbox with tags and templates, and sync to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive or GoHighLevel.
- **White label:** Every plan can run under an agency's own logo, colors and domain, with branded reports and a client portal at no setup fee.

## Good for

- Sellers and founders who prospect mainly on LinkedIn
- Teams that want LinkedIn and email steps in one sequence
- Agencies reselling outreach under their own brand

## Worth knowing

- Starter includes no monthly credits, so finding emails, phone numbers or AI personalization starts on Growth or with credits bought separately.
- LinkedIn steps run on your own LinkedIn account, which is connected to Closely and works within daily limits.
- Payments are non-refundable except for a request within 2 days of a first purchase, or for service problems at Closely's discretion.
- Discounts shown on the site need a promo code at checkout; the prices listed here are without them.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. Closely runs your LinkedIn outreach, with connection requests, visits and messages that stop when someone replies, and adds email steps to the same sequence. It's $39 a month for one LinkedIn account on yearly billing, and agencies can white-label any plan. The cheapest plan has no credits, though, so finding emails and AI personalization really start on Growth.

- **Value for money: C.** Starter is $39 a month for one LinkedIn account and inbox billed annually, or $65 month to month. That's the ordinary middle of what outreach tools here charge. It comes with no monthly credits; Growth at $95 covers 3 accounts and 3,000 credits.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but every plan has a free trial. Its length isn't stated and neither is a card, so it sits at the ordinary grade. After you pay, refunds are only on request within 2 days of a first purchase.
- **Features: B.** The whole job: LinkedIn requests, visits, messages and InMails mixed with email steps in one conditional sequence, A/B tests, unlimited email accounts, a waterfall email and phone finder, AI lead scoring and one inbox for replies. Finding contacts uses credits Starter lacks.
- **Ease of use: C.** No App Store rating on record. You connect your own LinkedIn account and inboxes and work inside daily limits, and the sequence builder branches on conditions, so there's some setting up before the first campaign goes out.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web and a browser extension, with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and GoHighLevel sync, and Gmail, Outlook or SMTP for sending. No API on record, and no phone or desktop app.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Closely you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $468 a year.

- You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive among them.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
