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: Annual billing is $79; monthly is $99. 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

TexAu

Stands out: Recipes chain capture, enrich, and outreach steps in the cloud, so you are not babysitting a Chrome extension overnight.

Watch out: LinkedIn can still restrict aggressive automation. TexAu is a workflow engine, not a dedicated sequencer with warmup and a unibox.

Not the right fit for

Teams that only need a Gmail mail merge
Enterprises that want a sales-engagement suite with legal safe-harbor copy

Pros and cons

Cloud runtime plus a 7-day trial

TexAu

Cloud recipes for LinkedIn and X, not a laptop Chrome plugin
Published $79/mo listing floor you can budget against
Reusable playbooks for agencies running the same motion twice

Not a cold-email sequencer with warmup and placement tests
LinkedIn risk sits with how hard you run the recipes
No MCP or public API called out on the listing
