Where they pull apart

Closely

Stands out: 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: 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.

Not the right fit for

Teams that need a documented public API
Solo users who want enrichment on the cheapest plan
Buyers who want to avoid LinkedIn automation risk

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

Pros and cons

Closely

Email and phone finding included from Growth
Dedicated IP per LinkedIn account
Large discount on annual billing

No credits on Starter
No public API documented
Cost rises with each LinkedIn account

Expandi

Cloud runtime plus a 7-day trial
Annual $79 versus $99 monthly
Aimed at agencies with multiple senders

More expensive than Waalaxy or Dux-Soup
LinkedIn ToS risk remains
Not an enterprise engagement platform
