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

HeyReach

Stands out: Agency and Unlimited plans cover 25-plus or unlimited LinkedIn senders for one flat monthly fee.

Watch out: Growth is priced per sender. The next plan, Agency, starts at $999/mo for 25 senders, so there is a big jump between tiers.

Not the right fit for

  • Solo users who need just one cheap bot
  • Teams that want email sequences as the core
