Inmailer
Stands out: Volume aimed at 5,000-plus DMs a month on Growth, with an agent that classifies and answers replies.
Watch out: Growth needs Sales Navigator for InMails. Checkout runs through Whop. Lending, insurance, crypto, and MLM applications are refused.
Not the right fit for
- Buyers who need a sub-$100 LinkedIn tool
- Teams in verticals InMailer will not approve
Waalaxy
Stands out: A public $16 Chrome LinkedIn seat with email (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zapier, Make, n8n, Salesforce named), and one of the cheapest entry seats in the category.
Watch out: Pro is $16, Advanced $32, Business $55. Only Business carries cold email sequences and 500 finder credits; Pro and Advanced get 25 a month, which makes them LinkedIn-only in practice. The LinkedIn Inbox is a paid add-on on every plan, and LinkedIn automation remains a ToS risk.
Not the right fit for
- Teams that refuse LinkedIn automation
- Enterprises that need a cloud, not a Chrome, runtime
- People who only want a finder
