Cloud LinkedIn automation with AI lead review, voice notes, a team inbox and a first-party MCP server.
From $79/account/mo 7-day free trial MCP server API
Bottom line
Cloud LinkedIn automation from $79 per account a month ($55.33 billed yearly) with AI lead screening, voice notes, a team inbox and a first-party MCP server, all AI features included. 7-day trial with no card. Best for recruiting and sales teams that want LinkedIn outreach screened by AI before it goes out.
Stands out for: AI Lead Review checks every lead against an ICP you write in plain English before any invite is sent, and every AI feature comes in the base price. Its own MCP server, with read and write scopes, lets Claude run campaigns directly.
Watch out for: It covers LinkedIn only, with no email steps, and costs more than budget tools at $79 a month on monthly billing. Plans are non-refundable, and LinkedIn automation can lead to account restrictions.
