Closest alternatives

The short answer

PhantomBuster : PhantomBuster is a similar cloud recipe library from $69/mo with a free tier, a closer peer than a sequencer. From $69/mo
Expandi : Expandi is cloud LinkedIn outreach from $99/mo, built as a sender, not a capture-and-enrich recipe box. From $99/mo
Dux-Soup : Dux-Soup is a $11/mo Chrome LinkedIn automator, cheaper and local rather than TexAu's cloud recipes. From $11/mo
Captain Data : Captain Data sells no-code capture and enrich workflows on a credit model, without TexAu's social recipe catalog. From €59.99/1k credits

Why people look past TexAu

LinkedIn can still restrict aggressive automation. TexAu is a workflow engine, not a dedicated sequencer with warmup and a unibox.

What we noted

Not a cold-email sequencer with warmup and placement tests
LinkedIn risk sits with how hard you run the recipes
No MCP or public API called out on the listing

Not the right fit for

Teams that only need a Gmail mail merge
Enterprises that want a sales-engagement suite with legal safe-harbor copy

Worth keeping in mind: Recipes chain capture, enrich, and outreach steps in the cloud, so you are not babysitting a Chrome extension overnight.

What each one does differently

PhantomBuster

$69/mo Free tier 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: PhantomBuster is a similar cloud recipe library from $69/mo with a free tier, a closer peer than a sequencer.

Stands out: Hosted MCP at mcp.phantombuster.com plus 100+ Phantoms that run without your browser open.

Watch out: You act through your own social accounts, so limits and bans are on you. Execution hours, slots, and email credits all cap out. Exports on the trial are 10 rows.

Best for

Growth teams automating LinkedIn and Sales Nav lists
Agencies running several Phantoms in parallel
Builders wiring HubSpot, n8n, Zapier, Make, or MCP

Expandi

$99/mo Free trial

Why it comes up: Expandi is cloud LinkedIn outreach from $99/mo, built as a sender, not a capture-and-enrich recipe box.

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

Dux-Soup

$11/mo Free trial API

Why it comes up: Dux-Soup is a $11/mo Chrome LinkedIn automator, cheaper and local rather than TexAu's cloud recipes.

Stands out: The cheap Chrome LinkedIn workhorse ($11-ish Pro) for list actions, not a pretty cloud sequencer.

Watch out: Pro is visit/connect automation, not a full cloud inbox. Turbo is $41.25 annual; Cloud Dux $74.17. LinkedIn ToS still applies.

Best for

Recruiters automating LinkedIn visits and connects on a budget
Agencies that already live in Chrome
Teams that will take the free trial

Captain Data

€59.99/1k credits API

Why it comes up: Captain Data sells no-code capture and enrich workflows on a credit model, without TexAu's social recipe catalog.

Stands out: One credit meter for every endpoint, with no seat fees and no feature tiers.

Watch out: Prices are in euros only. The per-credit rate depends on monthly volume, and pilot or high-volume pricing is set with sales.

Best for

Builders who want to pay per credit, not per seat
Data pipelines that already call REST APIs
Teams testing with 100 free credits
