The short answer

  • Reach MCP : Reach MCP runs on Kanbox's engine and adds an MCP server, so Claude can work LinkedIn through the same platform. From $20/mo
  • Waalaxy : Waalaxy is a Chrome tool from $16 per user that adds email steps but has no Kanban pipeline. From $16/user/mo
  • HeyReach : HeyReach suits agencies with many senders at $79 per sender, with an MCP server and CRM integrations. From $79/sender/mo

Why people look past Kanbox

Starter allows one campaign and 300 imports a month, so most users need Essential or Pro. No native CRM integrations are named (webhooks and the API are on Pro), plans are non-refundable, and LinkedIn automation can lead to account restrictions.

What we noted

  • 1 campaign on Starter
  • No named CRM integrations
  • Plans are non-refundable

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need native CRM sync
  • Users who want email steps in the sequence
  • Buyers who need refunds

Worth keeping in mind: It imports from LinkedIn Recruiter as well as Sales Navigator, and shows every lead on Kanban boards rather than a flat list. The 15-day no-card trial is longer than most LinkedIn tools offer.

What each one does differently

Reach MCP

$20/mo 7 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Reach MCP runs on Kanbox's engine and adds an MCP server, so Claude can work LinkedIn through the same platform.

Stands out: Every write is shown as a numbered preview and waits for your go, and the same connector covers Sales Navigator and Recruiter Light exports, which most LinkedIn MCP servers do not list.

Watch out: Accounts connect through a Chrome extension on your LinkedIn session, not an official LinkedIn API, so restriction risk remains. Profile viewer playbooks need LinkedIn Premium and search exports need the matching Sales Navigator or Recruiter seat.

Best for

  • Recruiters who source from Recruiter Light or Sales Navigator in Claude
  • Agencies running LinkedIn agents for clients
  • n8n and Make builders who need LinkedIn actions

Waalaxy

$16/user/mo Free trial

Why it comes up: Waalaxy is a Chrome tool from $16 per user that adds email steps but has no Kanban pipeline.

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.

Best for

  • SDRs running LinkedIn plus email from Chrome
  • HubSpot or Pipedrive shops
  • Teams that want a 14-day trial

HeyReach

$79/sender/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: HeyReach suits agencies with many senders at $79 per sender, with an MCP server and CRM integrations.

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.

Best for

  • Agencies running many LinkedIn accounts
  • Sales teams using Clay or n8n workflows
  • Teams driving outreach from Claude via MCP
