Next: Expandi, best for every feature at one per-account price, and La Growth Machine, best for LinkedIn and email with a company database. **Disclosure:** Ken is our product. We list it first, and every fact about other tools comes from their public pages on the date shown. ## Our Picks at a Glance **In short:** Ken is first because it is ours. The other 7 follow in order of how well they meet our criteria. **Best LinkedIn Automation Tools in 2026, ranked** | Rank | Tool | Best for | Starting price (date) | Free plan | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 (ours) | [Ken](/features) | LinkedIn and email in one sequence | [Platform: $200 a month (Oct 17, 2026)](/pricing) | Partial - Free plan: 1,000 credits once, no card; LinkedIn accounts need Platform | | 2 | [Expandi](https://expandi.io) | every feature at one per-account price | [$99 per seat a month (Oct 17, 2026)](https://expandi.io/pricing/) | No - 7-day trial with all features | | 3 | [La Growth Machine](https://lagrowthmachine.com) | LinkedIn and email with a company database | [$70 per seat a month (Oct 17, 2026)](https://lagrowthmachine.com/pricing/) | No - 14-day trial, no card, 1 identity | | 4 | [HeyReach](https://www.heyreach.io) | agencies running many LinkedIn senders | [$79 per seat a month (Oct 17, 2026)](https://www.heyreach.io/pricing) | No - trial: 14 days, no card, with 3 LinkedIn senders | | 5 | [Dripify](https://dripify.io) | engagement steps plus email per seat | [$79 per seat a month (Oct 17, 2026)](https://dripify.com/pricing/) | No - trial: 7 days, no card, with Advanced plan features | | 6 | [MeetAlfred](https://meetalfred.com) | LinkedIn, email and X steps with a lead finder | [$59 per seat a month (Oct 17, 2026)](https://meetalfred.com/pricing) | No - trial: 7 days, no card | | 7 | [Waalaxy](https://www.waalaxy.com) | beginners who want ready-made sequences | [No USD price listed (Oct 17, 2026)](https://www.waalaxy.com/pricing) | Partial - 14-day trial on each plan; Freemium is free but cannot run campaigns | | 8 | [PhantomBuster](https://phantombuster.com) | scraping lead lists from LinkedIn and other sites | [$69 a month (Oct 17, 2026)](https://phantombuster.com/pricing) | Partial - 14-day trial with 2 hours of execution time, then a Free plan with 30 minutes a month; exports capped at 10 rows | Ken is first because it is our product. The rest are ordered by how well each meets our ranking criteria. Starting price is the lowest entry price on the vendor's pricing page on the date shown: monthly billing where offered, otherwise annual or one-time. ## How We Ranked These Tools **In short:** We judged each tool on 5 criteria, using only facts from its own public pages. - Account safety: Daily caps per LinkedIn account, dedicated IPs and how actions are paced. - Price per account: What each LinkedIn account or seat costs, and whether teammates or workspaces cost extra. - Email steps: Whether email runs in the same sequence as LinkedIn, natively or through another tool. - Shared inbox: One inbox for replies across every connected LinkedIn account. - Lead source: Your own lists, Sales Navigator searches or a built-in database. Ken is first because it is our product. The rest are ordered by how well each meets our ranking criteria. We do not use ratings from review sites, and we have not tested these tools hands-on. ## 1. Ken **In short:** Best for LinkedIn and email in one sequence. Ken is our top pick for teams that want LinkedIn and email in one sequence, with leads from a built-in database. One campaign mixes email and LinkedIn steps, replies from both land in one inbox, and leads come from 250M people and 24M companies. Each LinkedIn account costs 1,500 credits ($30) a month on Platform, and Ken has no post likes, follows or endorsements, so a solo user who only needs LinkedIn pays less with Waalaxy or Dripify. Price: the Free plan starts with 1,000 credits once and no card. Platform is $200 a month, or $160 a month billed annually. Campaigns: Included on every plan; about 1.45 credits ($0.03) per finished lead. - **Strengths**: One campaign can mix email and LinkedIn steps. AI qualification costs 50 credits ($1) per 1,000 rows. AI personalization costs 300 credits ($6) per 1,000 rows. Platform includes 200,000 sends a month. Every email gets a spam and quality check before it sends. - **Limits**: On Free, every send costs credits: 25 credits per 1,000. LinkedIn steps need a connected LinkedIn account at 1,500 credits ($30) a month. Post likes, follows and endorsements: no (LinkedIn steps are profile visits, connection requests, messages and InMail). - [Ken pricing](/pricing) - [Ken features](/features) ## 2. Expandi **In short:** Best for every feature at one per-account price. Expandi puts connection requests, messages, InMail, email, likes, follows and endorsements in one sequence with 9 if-conditions, gives each account a dedicated IP and auto warm-up, and shows replies from every account in one inbox. It has no contact database, and every seat is billed whether or not an account is connected. Starting price: $99 per seat a month, checked Oct 17, 2026. 7-day trial with all features. - **Strengths**: One plan with every feature: $99 per LinkedIn account a month, or $79 billed annually. Sequences mix connection requests, messages, InMail, email, post likes, follows and skill endorsements, branching on 9 if-conditions. A Global Inbox shows replies from every LinkedIn account in a workspace, with custom roles and 100+ permission settings. Native HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive sync that logs connection requests, messages and replies. Each account gets a dedicated country-based IP address and profile auto warm-up. - **Limits**: No built-in contact database: leads come from LinkedIn searches, Sales Navigator, Recruiter, post engagers, events, groups or CSV. AI message generation is English only and capped per LinkedIn account at 15 credits a day for campaign steps and 20 for replies. Personalized images and GIFs need a separate Hyperise subscription, and video needs Sendspark. Every seat is billed whether or not a LinkedIn account is connected to it. - [Expandi website](https://expandi.io) - [Expandi pricing page](https://expandi.io/pricing/) ## 3. La Growth Machine **In short:** Best for LinkedIn and email with a company database. La Growth Machine runs LinkedIn and email in one sequence on every plan and adds a company database with enriched leads included. The shared inbox and A/B tests start on Pro, and native CRM sync needs Ultimate. Starting price: $70 per seat a month, checked Oct 17, 2026. 14-day trial, no card, 1 identity. - **Strengths**: Built-in LGM Database of 27M+ companies with semantic and lookalike search; browsing needs no credits, and plans include 250 to 1,000 enriched leads a month. LinkedIn and email steps in one sequence on every plan, with AI-generated LinkedIn voice messages; X steps on Ultimate. Reply Agent on Pro and Ultimate follows up on vague or hesitant LinkedIn replies from an approved playbook and hands interested leads back to a person. Inbox rotation with up to 5 sending emails per identity on Pro and 10 on Ultimate. Separate workspaces per client on every paid plan, each with its own identities, CRM connection and data. - **Limits**: Native HubSpot and Pipedrive sync needs Ultimate, at $195 per identity a month or $165 billed annually; other CRMs go through Zapier. Basic caps at 3 identities and 1 sending email per identity, and Pro allows up to 6 active campaigns. No InMail action: LinkedIn steps are visits, invitations, messages, voice messages, post likes and follows. Each extra client workspace needs its own subscription, with no trial. - [La Growth Machine website](https://lagrowthmachine.com) - [La Growth Machine pricing page](https://lagrowthmachine.com/pricing/) ## 4. HeyReach **In short:** Best for agencies running many LinkedIn senders. HeyReach is built for many senders: several accounts can share one campaign, one inbox covers every sender, and teammates and clients join at no charge. It sends no email itself and hands leads to Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison instead. Starting price: $79 per seat a month, checked Oct 17, 2026. Trial: 14 days, no card, with 3 LinkedIn senders. - **Strengths**: Flat bundles for agencies: 25 senders for $999 a month (about $40 per sender), and Unlimited covers up to 300 senders for $2,999 a month. Several LinkedIn senders can share one campaign, each with its own daily action limits. Unibox puts LinkedIn messages from every sender in one inbox, so teammates can reply for each other without switching accounts. You pay only for LinkedIn senders: teammates, VAs and clients get access at no charge. Native HubSpot sync logs connections, messages and replies on HubSpot contacts, and every plan has an API, webhooks and an MCP server. - **Limits**: Email steps run through Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison, which need their own accounts; HeyReach does not send email itself. No built-in contact database: leads come from Sales Navigator or other tools, and email lookups use enrichment credits beyond the one-time allocation. Warm-up actions (like post, follow, view profile) are capped at 40 a day per sender, and there is no endorsement step. Agency and Unlimited plans run on your own proxies. - [HeyReach alternatives](/alternatives/heyreach) - [HeyReach pricing](/compare/heyreach/pricing) - [HeyReach website](https://www.heyreach.io) - [HeyReach pricing page](https://www.heyreach.io/pricing) ## 5. Dripify **In short:** Best for engagement steps plus email per seat. Dripify mixes 15+ LinkedIn and email actions in one sequence, with published daily caps per account and campaigns run from a dedicated IP. Each seat keeps its own inbox, and HubSpot is the only native CRM, synced one way. Starting price: $79 per seat a month, checked Oct 17, 2026. Trial: 7 days, no card, with Advanced plan features. - **Strengths**: One sequence mixes 15+ LinkedIn and email actions and conditions: connection requests, messages, Sales Navigator InMail, email, profile views, follows, post likes and endorsements. Default daily caps per account: 75 connection requests, 100+ messages, 30 InMails, 200+ profile views and 50+ likes, follows and endorsements. Campaigns run in the cloud from a dedicated IP in your location, with randomized timing inside the working hours you set. A/B testing (beta, Advanced) splits leads across up to 3 variants on message, invite, email and InMail steps, with stats per variant. Native HubSpot integration, an Open API and an MCP server on Pro and Advanced. - **Limits**: Email steps send only from a connected Gmail or Outlook account. Replies to Sales Navigator InMails are not tracked in Dripify yet, and a sequence ends after an InMail step. The only native CRM is HubSpot, and it syncs one way; other CRMs need Zapier, Make or webhooks. Team management, A/B testing and evergreen leads need Advanced, $99 a seat a month or $79 billed annually. - [Dripify alternatives](/alternatives/dripify) - [Dripify pricing](/compare/dripify/pricing) - [Dripify website](https://dripify.io) - [Dripify pricing page](https://dripify.com/pricing/) ## 6. MeetAlfred **In short:** Best for LinkedIn, email and X steps with a lead finder. MeetAlfred moves a lead between LinkedIn, email and X on Business and up and includes a lead finder that returns emails and phones when available. The entry plan is LinkedIn only, and A/B tests mean duplicating a campaign. Starting price: $59 per seat a month, checked Oct 17, 2026. Trial: 7 days, no card. - **Strengths**: One sequence can move a lead between LinkedIn, email and X (Twitter) on Business and up. Engagement steps cover profile views, follows, up to 5 skill endorsements and likes on up to 5 recent posts. Built-in Lead Finder with plain-language AI search returns emails and phone numbers when available, so Sales Navigator is optional. On Business and up, campaigns can start from LinkedIn groups, events, post engagers, newsletters, company pages or a CSV file. Annual billing takes 40% off, bringing Business to $59 a user a month. - **Limits**: Individual ($59 a month) is LinkedIn-only: no email steps, Sales Navigator, InMail or CSV campaigns. Native HubSpot and Salesforce integrations need Teams, and the HubSpot one exports contact fields (name, company, title, city, industry, LinkedIn URL). No A/B variants inside a campaign; the help center suggests duplicating the campaign instead. Paid plans come with a no-refund policy. - [MeetAlfred alternatives](/alternatives/meet-alfred) - [MeetAlfred website](https://meetalfred.com) - [MeetAlfred pricing page](https://meetalfred.com/pricing) ## 7. Waalaxy **In short:** Best for beginners who want ready-made sequences. Waalaxy is the simplest start, with pre-built sequences and native HubSpot and Pipedrive sync on every paid plan. You cannot build a sequence from scratch, email needs the Business plan and the LinkedIn inbox is a paid add-on. Starting price: No USD price listed, checked Oct 17, 2026. 14-day trial on each plan; the free Freemium mode cannot run campaigns. - **Strengths**: Pro costs 19 EUR per user a month on yearly billing (shown as 50% off), with 300 invitations a month. Advanced and Business allow up to 100 invitations a day (200 a week), 120 to 150 messages, 80 to 100 follows and 120 to 150 profile visits a day per account. Business adds email steps in the same campaign as LinkedIn steps and 500 Email Finder credits per seat a month, with credits returned when no email is found. Native HubSpot and Pipedrive sync on every paid plan, with other CRMs through Zapier, Make or n8n. Team plans pool Email Finder credits, block duplicate outreach across members, and get 10% to 30% off from 5 to 40 or more accounts. - **Limits**: Email steps and multichannel campaigns need Business, at 69 EUR per user a month billed yearly or 139 EUR billed monthly. Sequences are pre-built: you cannot add or remove actions or build a sequence from scratch. No InMail action: campaigns use invitations, messages, follows, profile visits and email. The LinkedIn Inbox is a paid add-on at 20 EUR a month excluding tax, and team members cannot view each other's inbox. - [Waalaxy website](https://www.waalaxy.com) - [Waalaxy pricing page](https://www.waalaxy.com/pricing) ## 8. PhantomBuster **In short:** Best for scraping lead lists from LinkedIn and other sites. PhantomBuster extracts leads from LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and other sites and sends connection requests with follow-ups, priced per workspace with no seat fee. It sends no email and has no shared inbox, so it works best feeding another outreach tool. Starting price: $69 a month, checked Oct 17, 2026. 14-day trial, no card, then a Free plan with 30 minutes of execution time a month and 1 slot. - **Strengths**: Extracts leads from LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Google Maps, Instagram, X, Facebook, Reddit, GitHub, YouTube, Slack and Yellow Pages, not only LinkedIn. No per-seat or per-sender fee: every plan allows up to 100 members and 100 connected LinkedIn accounts per workspace. Email discovery is included: 500 to 10,000 email credits a month on paid plans. Covers LinkedIn engagement with Phantoms for post likes, follows and skill endorsements, next to connection requests with up to 3 follow-ups. API access on every plan, plus an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT. - **Limits**: Sends no email: email follow-up runs in another tool fed with PhantomBuster's lead lists. Usage is metered: Start includes 20 hours of execution time a month and 5 slots, and the LinkedIn Outreach Workflow alone takes 2 slots. The LinkedIn Outreach report counts replies to the first message only, and accepted invites are checked twice a day, so follow-ups wait for that check. The trial and the Free plan cap each results file at 10 rows, and CSV upload as input is paid-only. - [PhantomBuster alternatives](/alternatives/phantombuster) - [PhantomBuster pricing](/compare/phantombuster/pricing) - [PhantomBuster website](https://phantombuster.com) - [PhantomBuster pricing page](https://phantombuster.com/pricing) ## How Do You Choose the Right Tool? **In short:** Ask each vendor on your shortlist these questions before you buy. - What daily limits does it set per LinkedIn account, and how are actions paced? - What does each LinkedIn account cost, and do teammates or workspaces cost extra? - Can email steps run in the same sequence as LinkedIn? - Do replies from every account land in one inbox? - Do the steps you plan to run need a Sales Navigator license? ## FAQ **In short:** 6 questions buyers ask about LinkedIn automation tools, answered from each vendor's public pages. ### Is LinkedIn automation safe for my account? Dripify, HeyReach and Waalaxy publish limits per account, such as Dripify's default daily caps and Waalaxy's invitation limits per day and week. Expandi and Dripify run each account from a dedicated IP, and Expandi adds profile auto warm-up. Ken's view: no tool can promise an account will never be restricted. ### Which LinkedIn automation tools also send email? Expandi, La Growth Machine and Dripify run email steps in the same sequence as LinkedIn, and MeetAlfred and Waalaxy do on their Business plans. HeyReach hands leads to Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison, and PhantomBuster sends no email. ### Can I run LinkedIn outreach for clients? Yes. HeyReach, Expandi, MeetAlfred's Teams plan and La Growth Machine keep each client in a separate workspace, and PhantomBuster sells one workspace per client. HeyReach, Expandi and MeetAlfred also offer white label. ### Do I need LinkedIn Sales Navigator? Only for some steps. InMail steps in Dripify, HeyReach and MeetAlfred need a Sales Navigator license, while La Growth Machine and MeetAlfred include their own lead search, so Sales Navigator is optional there. ### Which LinkedIn automation tools have a free plan?
