Mailgent alternatives

4 tools our write-ups put next to Mailgent, with starting price, free tier, MCP and API side by side.

Mailgent from $79/mo

The short answer

  • HeyReach : HeyReach is multi-account LinkedIn from $79/sender/mo, LinkedIn-only versus Mailgent's email-plus-Unibox. From $79/sender/mo
  • Expandi : Expandi is cloud LinkedIn from $99/mo, without Mailgent's combined email timeline. From $99/mo
  • lemlist : Lemlist is multichannel from $55/mo with creative personalization, a lower published floor. From $55/mo
  • Waalaxy : Waalaxy is Chrome LinkedIn plus email from $16/user/mo, cheaper and extension-based rather than a $79 cloud Unibox. From $16/user/mo

Why people look past Mailgent

$79/mo is a sending seat, not infra mailboxes. Voice notes and AI replies are the differentiator. Dedicated IPs still live elsewhere.

What we noted

  • Not a dedicated-IP mailbox provider
  • Live sender and AI-reply caps need a pricing-page check
  • Overlap with Lemlist and Expandi on the same motion

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only need Gmail mail merge
  • Agencies that want unlimited infra mailboxes on Smartlead

Worth keeping in mind: LinkedIn and email share a single timeline and Unibox, so the thread is one conversation rather than two tools.

What each one does differently

HeyReach

$79/sender/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: HeyReach is multi-account LinkedIn from $79/sender/mo, LinkedIn-only versus Mailgent's email-plus-Unibox.

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

Expandi

$99/mo Free trial

Why it comes up: Expandi is cloud LinkedIn from $99/mo, without Mailgent's combined email timeline.

Stands out: Cloud LinkedIn (not Chrome) with a 7-day trial: the grown-up Waalaxy alternative agencies actually demo.

Watch out: $99 monthly is the headline; annual is $79. More accounts cost more. LinkedIn will still cap you.

Best for

  • Agencies running multi-account LinkedIn outbound
  • Teams that refuse a Chrome bot
  • Buyers who want a 7-day trial

lemlist

$55/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Lemlist is multichannel from $55/mo with creative personalization, a lower published floor.

Stands out: Creative personalization plus email and LinkedIn in one sequence, with MCP.

Watch out: Higher tiers at $69, $87 and $109 are close to the entry plan, so check which one covers your channels.

Best for

  • Outbound teams that need more than plain-text volume
  • Desks mixing email and LinkedIn
  • Buyers who want a 14-day trial

4.6 on Capterra from 387 reviews

Waalaxy

$16/user/mo Free trial

Why it comes up: Waalaxy is Chrome LinkedIn plus email from $16/user/mo, cheaper and extension-based rather than a $79 cloud Unibox.

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
