Bottom line

Cloud LinkedIn and email outreach from $49/mo for one LinkedIn account, or $29/mo billed annually, with email and phone finding and AI lead scoring built in. Best for agencies and small teams that want outreach and contact data in one tool without a separate enrichment subscription.

Stands out for: Contact data is part of the plan: Growth and Essential include monthly credits for waterfall email and phone finding, and each LinkedIn account gets its own residential IP. Agencies can white label the whole platform for a flat $1,499/mo with unlimited seats.

Watch out for: Starter includes no credits, so email finding, phone finding and AI personalization start at Growth ($127/mo). The vendor does not publish a public API, and LinkedIn automation can lead to account restrictions.

Overview

Closely is a cloud tool for LinkedIn and email outreach. A conditional sequence builder mixes connection requests, messages, InMail and email steps, and a unified inbox collects LinkedIn messages, InMail and email replies in one place.

Each LinkedIn account runs on a dedicated residential IP with a warm-up period. Leads come from Sales Navigator searches, post engagers and event attendees, and waterfall enrichment adds emails and phone numbers.

AI agents research each company for hiring, funding and tech stack signals, score leads against your ICP and write personalized messages. Native integrations cover HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and GoHighLevel, plus webhooks.

Starter is $49/mo for one LinkedIn account ($29/mo yearly). Growth is $127/mo for three accounts and Essential $205/mo for five, with white label for agencies at $1,499/mo.
