FirstTouch vs HeyReach

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

FirstTouch

$99/sender/mo 14 day free trial

FirstTouch puts LinkedIn outreach inside HubSpot: connection requests, messages and InMails fire from workflows, an AI assistant or your own code, send from the rep who owns the contact, and land on the contact record for attribution. It suits sales and business development teams already on HubSpot, at $99 per sender per month with a 14-day free trial.

Where FirstTouch fits

  • Sales and business development teams running HubSpot

  • RevOps teams that need LinkedIn touches attributed in the CRM
  • Builders who want LinkedIn actions through an MCP server or API

HeyReach

LinkedIn outreach built to run many sender accounts. Growth is $79/mo per sender, or $64/mo billed yearly, with API and MCP included.

Where HeyReach fits

Where they pull apart

FirstTouch

Stands out: Most LinkedIn tools run their own campaigns in their own app; FirstTouch makes LinkedIn a step in your CRM, so every touch is attributed in HubSpot like email. Sends route by CRM ownership, approvals are on by default, and a first-party MCP server exposes 44 tools to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini and Grok on every plan.

Watch out: It is built around HubSpot: the workflow cards need a HubSpot Pro hub, and there is no Salesforce or ATS sync. Enrichment, discovery and engagement signals draw on a credit pool (a phone lookup costs 7 credits), and there is no cheaper single-user tier for a solo recruiter.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams on Salesforce or an ATS without HubSpot
  • Solo users after a low-cost LinkedIn automation tool
  • High-volume multi-account campaigns with no approvals

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
