The short answer

Linked API : Linked API also runs each account in a cloud browser, from $49 per seat with Sales Navigator actions on Plus. From $49/user/mo
LinkupAPI : LinkupAPI adds email and WhatsApp plus LinkedIn Recruiter, from $55/mo for 10 accounts. From $55/mo
Unipile : Unipile covers LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp and calendars from $55/mo for 10 accounts. From $55/mo

Why people look past GTM API

It automates real LinkedIn accounts rather than using LinkedIn's official API, so restriction risk remains. At $39 per account for the first four accounts it costs more than flat per-account rivals until you reach volume.

What we noted

Not an official LinkedIn API
$39 per account is high at low volume
LinkedIn only for now

Not the right fit for

Recruiters who want a finished app
Teams that need email and WhatsApp today
Buyers who need LinkedIn's official API

Worth keeping in mind: Each account gets its own cloud browser, residential proxy and smart limits, and the free plan opens the full API and MCP so you can build on the real thing before paying.

What each one does differently

Linked API

$49/user/mo 7 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Linked API also runs each account in a cloud browser, from $49 per seat with Sales Navigator actions on Plus.

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.

Best for

Builders automating LinkedIn from n8n or Make
Teams that want MCP and an SDK on one seat
Teams that only need standard LinkedIn actions

LinkupAPI

$55/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: LinkupAPI adds email and WhatsApp plus LinkedIn Recruiter, from $55/mo for 10 accounts.

Stands out: It is one of the few LinkedIn APIs that lists LinkedIn Recruiter alongside Sales Navigator, so a recruiting agent can search candidates and applicants through the same MCP server it uses for outreach.

Watch out: It acts through users' own LinkedIn sessions rather than an official LinkedIn API, and it monitors accounts instead of enforcing fixed daily caps, so pacing is on you. Email finding and verification use credits on top of the account price.

Best for

Recruiting tools that need LinkedIn Recruiter access
AI SDR and sourcing agents on several channels
Builders connecting many user accounts

Unipile

$55/mo 7 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Unipile covers LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp and calendars from $55/mo for 10 accounts.

Stands out: It is the connection layer many recruiting and outreach tools already build on, with Recruiter projects, pipelines and job applicants available through the same API as messaging and search.

Watch out: It is a developer API, so it needs engineering time before anyone can use it. LinkedIn access is reverse engineered rather than official, and its MCP server helps coding agents build integrations rather than letting a recruiter run LinkedIn from Claude.

Best for

ATS and recruiting CRM vendors adding LinkedIn
Outreach tools that need LinkedIn and email in one API
Developers building AI agents on users' accounts
