Where they pull apart

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

Linked API

Stands out: One seat maps to one LinkedIn account, with unlimited workflow runs plus API, CLI, and MCP access on both plans.

Watch out: Sales Navigator actions are Plus only. You need one seat per connected LinkedIn account. This is an unofficial LinkedIn automation API, not LinkedIn's own developer program.

Not the right fit for

Buyers who need LinkedIn's official Marketing or Recruiter API
Non-technical reps who want a Chrome sequencer, not an API

Unofficial LinkedIn automation, not LinkedIn's API
