Bottom line
LinkedIn automation as a Chrome extension from $9.99 per LinkedIn account a month ($6.99 billed annually), with a 7-day trial of the top plan and no card. Best for solo recruiters and sellers who want the cheapest way to automate invites and follow-ups.
Stands out for: It is one of the cheapest LinkedIn automation tools around: the full Unlimited plan is $24.99 a month billed annually, and the Chrome Web Store shows about 70,000 users. It works on free LinkedIn as well as Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite.
Watch out for: It runs in your browser, so campaigns only move while Chrome is open on your computer. There is no email channel, no AI writing and no public API; CRM sync goes through Zapier. LinkedIn automation can lead to account restrictions.
