The short answer

Dripify : Cheaper cloud LinkedIn if Expandi's $99 is the problem. From $59/mo
Waalaxy : $16 Chrome LinkedIn plus email if you accept an extension. From $16/user/mo
lemlist : Email-first if LinkedIn is a side channel. From $55/mo
Prosp : LinkedIn outreach alternative often in the same bake-off. From $79.99/account/4 wks

Why people look past Expandi

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

What we noted

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

Not the right fit for

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

Worth keeping in mind: Cloud LinkedIn (not Chrome) with a 7-day trial: the grown-up Waalaxy alternative agencies actually demo.

What each one does differently

Dripify

$59/mo Free trial

Why it comes up: Cheaper cloud LinkedIn if Expandi's $99 is the problem.

Stands out: Cloud (not Chrome) LinkedIn plus email campaigns with a public $39 annual Basic and a 7-day no-card trial.

Watch out: Monthly Basic is $59. Extra credits for email/enrichment are $29+ packs. LinkedIn will still restrict aggressive senders.

Best for

SDRs who want cloud LinkedIn automation
Teams comparing Waalaxy and Expandi
Buyers who will pay annually to hit $39

Waalaxy

$16/user/mo Free trial

Why it comes up: $16 Chrome LinkedIn plus email if you accept an extension.

Stands out: A public $16 Chrome LinkedIn seat with email (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zapier, Make, n8n, Salesforce named), and one of the cheapest entry seats in the category.

Watch out: Pro is $16, Advanced $32, Business $55. Only Business carries cold email sequences and 500 finder credits; Pro and Advanced get 25 a month, which makes them LinkedIn-only in practice. The LinkedIn Inbox is a paid add-on on every plan, and LinkedIn automation remains a ToS risk.

Best for

SDRs running LinkedIn plus email from Chrome
HubSpot or Pipedrive shops
Teams that want a 14-day trial

lemlist

$55/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Email-first if LinkedIn is a side channel.

Stands out: Creative personalization plus email and LinkedIn in one sequence, with MCP.

Watch out: Higher tiers at $69, $87 and $109 are close to the entry plan, so check which one covers your channels.

Best for

Outbound teams that need more than plain-text volume
Desks mixing email and LinkedIn
Buyers who want a 14-day trial

Prosp

$79.99/account/4 wks Free trial

Why it comes up: LinkedIn outreach alternative often in the same bake-off.

Stands out: LinkedIn voice notes plus AI connection messages, not another email box farm.

Watch out: No MCP or API. Billing runs every four weeks, not monthly, and a free proxy is included per account.

Best for

Recruiters whose outbound is LinkedIn, not email
Desks that want voice notes on connection messages
Agencies running several client LinkedIn accounts
