LinkedIn outreach tools split on one question that has nothing to do with features: what do they charge for? Some price per LinkedIn account sending messages, some per human using the software, and some bundle outreach into a wider platform. At one seat the difference is noise. At ten it is thousands of dollars a year.
Four tools compared on that axis, plus the compliance question nobody's pricing page mentions.
Key takeaways
- HeyReach charges per sender, not per user — $79/mo per LinkedIn account, with unlimited team members. Built for agencies running many accounts.
- Dripify charges per user — $39–$79/seat/mo on annual billing, one LinkedIn account per seat.
- Expandi charges per LinkedIn account, around $99/mo, with a strong reputation for safety limits.
- Scalry bundles LinkedIn outreach into a flat $29–$199/mo platform alongside the CRM the replies land in.
- The real risk is account restriction, not price. Aggressive volume gets LinkedIn accounts limited, and that cost is not on anyone's pricing page.
How we picked
Every list like this is someone's opinion. Here are the criteria behind this one, so you can discount the ones you disagree with.
- Runs real LinkedIn sequences — connection requests, follow-ups, and reply handling.
- Published pricing verified in August 2026 where the vendor publishes it; third-party figures are labelled as such.
- Multi-account capable, or explicitly not, since that is the main dividing line.
- Still actively sold. This category has a high churn of tools that stop being maintained.
Disclosure: this article is published by Scalry, which appears on the list. We have tried to describe every tool as its own users would, including where they beat us — but read it knowing who wrote it, and check the claims against each vendor.
The four tools
1. HeyReach
Price: $79/mo per sender; $999/mo for 25 senders
Best for: Agencies running many LinkedIn accounts
The distinguishing feature is the billing model: HeyReach charges per LinkedIn sender rather than per user, so you can invite unlimited team members, clients and VAs without adding cost.
That makes it the natural fit for agencies running outreach on behalf of several clients, where the account count is high and the human count is higher still.
Where it wins: Per-sender pricing with unlimited seats, and unified inbox management across many accounts.
Where it falls short: It is an outreach tool, not a CRM. Replies still have to reach whatever system holds your pipeline, and at one or two accounts it is more expensive than per-user competitors.
2. Dripify
Price: $39–$79/user/mo annually
Best for: Individual sellers and small sales teams
Per-seat pricing with one LinkedIn account per seat: $39 Basic, $59 Pro, $79 Advanced on annual billing, or $59/$79/$99 monthly.
Straightforward campaign sequencing with a gentle learning curve.
Where it wins: The cheapest credible entry point for one person, and simple enough to be running the same day.
Where it falls short: One account per seat means costs multiply with both people and accounts, so it scales poorly for agencies.
3. Expandi
Price: Around $99/mo per LinkedIn account
Best for: Teams prioritising account safety
Priced per LinkedIn account, with a long-standing reputation for conservative sending limits, dedicated-IP behaviour and human-like activity patterns.
Widely used by agencies, though the per-account model costs more than HeyReach's at scale.
Where it wins: Safety-first defaults, which matters more than most buyers realise — a restricted LinkedIn account is worse than a slow month.
Where it falls short: Per-account pricing without HeyReach's unlimited-seat model, and no CRM. Public pricing is less clearly published than competitors'.
4. Scalry
Price: $29–$199/mo flat, outreach included
Best for: Teams that want replies to land in the CRM
LinkedIn outreach runs against the same contact records as email, booking, funnels and the pipeline — so a reply becomes a pipeline event rather than a notification in another tool.
Flat workspace pricing, with outreach bundled rather than billed per sender or per seat.
Where it wins: No sync between outreach and CRM, because they are the same system, and sequences can span LinkedIn, email and booking in one workflow.
Where it falls short: Not built to run dozens of client LinkedIn accounts in parallel. Agencies operating at that scale should use HeyReach.

The pricing models compared
| Tool | Bills on | 1 account | 5 accounts | Team seats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HeyReach | Per sender | $79/mo | $395/mo | Unlimited |
| Dripify | Per user | $39/mo | $195/mo | One account each |
| Expandi | Per account | ~$99/mo | ~$495/mo | Varies |
| Scalry | Flat per workspace | $29–$199/mo | $29–$199/mo | Per plan |
The shape is familiar from every other category: per-unit pricing wins at one and loses at scale. The wrinkle here is that there are two units — humans and LinkedIn accounts — and which one a vendor bills on decides whether they suit an agency or an individual.
| Scalry plan | Monthly | Annual | AI credits / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29/mo | $290/yr | 500 |
| Pro | $79/mo | $790/yr | 2,000 |
| Agency | $199/mo | $1,990/yr | 6,000 |
Pricing for both products was checked against the public Scalry and HeyReach, Dripify and Expandi. HeyReach and Dripify figures come from their own pricing pages; Expandi's are widely reported third-party figures rather than a published rate card, so treat them as indicative pricing pages in August 2026. SaaS pricing changes often — confirm the current numbers with each vendor before you commit to a plan.
LinkedIn restricts accounts that behave like software. Every tool here operates in tension with LinkedIn's terms of service, and the penalty for aggressive volume is a limited or banned account — taking your connection graph and your sending history with it. That risk is not priced by anyone, and it is the main reason to prefer conservative daily limits over whichever tool promises the highest throughput.
How to choose
- One person, one account? Dripify is the cheapest credible start.
- An agency running many client accounts? HeyReach, because per-sender pricing with unlimited seats is the only model that does not punish you twice.
- Worried about account safety above all? Expandi's conservative defaults have earned their reputation.
- Want replies in your CRM automatically? A bundled platform removes the sync entirely.
- Running LinkedIn alongside email sequences? Check whether one workflow can span both, or whether you are maintaining two sets of logic.
Rules that keep accounts alive
- Stay well under the limits. Whatever your tool allows, send less. Connection requests are the riskiest action.
- Warm up new accounts slowly over two to three weeks rather than starting at full volume.
- Personalise beyond the first name. Obvious templated messages generate reports, and reports generate restrictions.
- Never automate from an account you cannot afford to lose — including the founder's, if that is where your network lives.
- Watch acceptance rate as a health metric. A falling rate is an early warning long before a restriction lands.
- Have somewhere for replies to go. The most common failure is not a ban — it is a reply nobody actioned for six days.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best LinkedIn outreach tool?
It depends on what you are scaling. For one person, Dripify from $39/user/month is the cheapest credible option. For agencies running many client accounts, HeyReach's per-sender model with unlimited team seats is the most economical. If you want replies to land directly in your CRM, a bundled platform removes the integration entirely.
How much do LinkedIn outreach tools cost?
HeyReach is $79/month per LinkedIn sender, with agency tiers at $999/month for 25 senders. Dripify runs $39 to $79 per user per month on annual billing. Expandi is widely reported at around $99 per LinkedIn account per month. Scalry includes outreach in a flat $29 to $199 monthly platform price.
Is LinkedIn automation against the terms of service?
Automated activity sits in tension with LinkedIn's terms, and accounts that behave like software can be restricted or banned. Every tool in this category carries that risk. Conservative daily volumes, gradual warm-up and genuine personalisation reduce it substantially, but they do not eliminate it — never automate from an account you cannot afford to lose.
Per-sender or per-user pricing — which is cheaper?
Per-user is cheaper when you have more accounts than people, which is almost never. Per-sender is cheaper when several people share access to the same accounts, which is the normal agency setup. Count your LinkedIn accounts and your humans separately, then compare.
Do I need a separate CRM alongside a LinkedIn tool?
With standalone outreach tools, yes — they run sequences but do not manage a pipeline, so replies have to reach your CRM somehow, usually through an integration you maintain. Platforms that bundle outreach avoid that, at the cost of not scaling to dozens of client accounts.
If replies are getting lost between tools, that is the problem to solve first. You can rebuild one real campaign inside Scalry before moving anything else.
