Where they pull apart

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

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
