Mailgent
Stands out: LinkedIn and email share a single timeline and Unibox, so the thread is one conversation rather than two tools.
Watch out: $79/mo is a sending seat, not infra mailboxes. Voice notes and AI replies are the differentiator. Dedicated IPs still live elsewhere.
Not the right fit for
- Teams that only need Gmail mail merge
- Agencies that want unlimited infra mailboxes on Smartlead
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
