Where they pull apart

Buzz.ai

Stands out: It covers phone as well as LinkedIn and email, with a dialer and voicemail drops, and works on iOS and Android. AskBuzz builds a whole campaign from one prompt, inside the app or from Claude through its MCP connector.

Watch out: Core includes only 500 credits a month, the autonomous AI Employee plan is quote-only with a 2-seat minimum, and Enterprise carries a $2,500 setup fee. The vendor's FAQ still uses older plan names, so confirm what you are buying, and no trial length is published.

Not the right fit for

Heavy users who need many credits on Core
Buyers who want public pricing for the AI SDR plan
Teams that need a documented public API

Expandi

Stands out: Cloud LinkedIn (not Chrome) with a 7-day trial: the grown-up Waalaxy alternative agencies actually demo.

Watch out: $99 monthly is the headline; annual is $79. More accounts cost more. LinkedIn will still cap you.

Not the right fit for

People who only need $11 Dux-Soup actions
Enterprises standardised on Outreach/Salesloft
Teams that will not automate LinkedIn
