BeReach vs FirstTouch

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

BeReach

$20 top-up 14 day free trial

BeReach is an AI SDR that runs LinkedIn prospecting from your own account: it reads your website, finds the people who buy what you sell, invites the ones showing a fresh signal and writes the minute they accept. It is built for B2B selling, so for recruiters it fits client business development with hiring managers rather than candidate sourcing. Pay as you go starts at a $20 top-up and Pro is $119/mo with a 14-day free trial.

Where BeReach fits

  • Agency recruiters doing business development with hiring managers
  • Founders and small sales teams prospecting on LinkedIn
  • Teams that want to run LinkedIn outreach from Claude or ChatGPT
  • Buyers who prefer usage pricing over per-seat plans

FirstTouch

$99/sender/mo 14 day free trial

FirstTouch puts LinkedIn outreach inside HubSpot: connection requests, messages and InMails fire from workflows, an AI assistant or your own code, send from the rep who owns the contact, and land on the contact record for attribution. It suits sales and business development teams already on HubSpot, at $99 per sender per month with a 14-day free trial.

Where FirstTouch fits

  • Sales and business development teams running HubSpot
  • Teams turning leadership post engagers into pipeline
  • RevOps teams that need LinkedIn touches attributed in the CRM
  • Builders who want LinkedIn actions through an MCP server or API

Where they pull apart

BeReach

Stands out: Signals decide who gets contacted first: a post about the problem, a comment on a competitor, a new role, a funding round or a company hiring. Pricing charges for people found rather than seats, invitations and messages are included, and the same 33-tool hosted MCP server and API come with every plan, so the whole loop can run from Claude or ChatGPT.

Watch out: Invitations and messages go out from your personal LinkedIn account, so you carry the account risk, and LinkedIn's weekly invitation limits cap volume per account (Pro includes 2, Max+ 5). The product is shaped around selling from a website, so recruiters get the most from it for winning clients, not filling roles.

Not the right fit for

  • High-volume candidate sourcing pipelines
  • Teams that need many LinkedIn sender accounts on one plan
  • Anyone unwilling to automate from their own LinkedIn profile

FirstTouch

Stands out: Most LinkedIn tools run their own campaigns in their own app; FirstTouch makes LinkedIn a step in your CRM, so every touch is attributed in HubSpot like email. Sends route by CRM ownership, approvals are on by default, and a first-party MCP server exposes 44 tools to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini and Grok on every plan.

Watch out: It is built around HubSpot: the workflow cards need a HubSpot Pro hub, and there is no Salesforce or ATS sync. Enrichment, discovery and engagement signals draw on a credit pool (a phone lookup costs 7 credits), and there is no cheaper single-user tier for a solo recruiter.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams on Salesforce or an ATS without HubSpot
  • Solo users after a low-cost LinkedIn automation tool
  • High-volume multi-account campaigns with no approvals

Pros and cons

  • More sender accounts need Max or Max+

FirstTouch

  • Every LinkedIn touch attributed on the HubSpot record
  • Approvals on by default with per-account rate limits
  • MCP server and API included on every plan
  • Built around HubSpot, no Salesforce sync
  • Workflow cards need a HubSpot Pro hub
  • Data lookups draw down a credit pool
