How we ranked these

Yes, we built MyFeedIn, and we did not put it first, because it is not the most powerful automation tool here and pretending otherwise would waste your time. It sits at number three as the option for people who want measured outreach rather than volume. The other 9 are the tools this market actually runs on, and none of the links here are affiliate links. Three questions decided the order:

Does it match the job?

Sending 500 invitations a week and keeping up with 30 people are different problems. The best tool depends on which one you have.

What does it do to your account?

Where the actions run, and whether each account gets its own IP, changes your exposure. We say so on every card instead of grading anyone.

Is the pricing honest?

Entry price read on the vendor's own page, not copied from another listicle. Where the marketing page and the docs disagree, we say which is which.

Before you automate anything

Every tool on this page can get your account restricted if you push it. None of them can promise otherwise, and any that does is selling you something. Here is where the limits actually sit.

~100

invitations per rolling 7 days, on every plan

20-30

per day is the pace accounts sustain

30%

acceptance rate is the floor to stay above

1-3 wk

of restricted features if you go over

Bursting is worse than volume

Sending a week's allowance in one afternoon is the single biggest flag, ahead of the total itself. Identical timing every day, and activity that is purely outbound, compound it. A new account should ramp up over three or four weeks rather than start at full pace.

Pending invitations count against you

Leaving more than a few hundred unanswered is read the same way as a low acceptance rate. Withdraw the old ones before sending more, and the number recovers.

Cloud versus extension is the wrong question

What matters is whether your account gets a dedicated, geographically consistent IP. A cloud tool on a shared datacentre IP can be riskier than an extension running on your home connection.

01Waalaxy logo

Waalaxy

The easiest way into LinkedIn automation

Best for Solo foundersBrowser extensionFrom €19/user/mo

A Chrome extension with a visual campaign builder: chain invitations, messages and profile visits into a sequence and let it run. It is the tool most people start with, because the onboarding is genuinely the gentlest in the category.

What we like

  • Fastest setup of any tool here, you can launch a campaign in an evening
  • Visual sequence builder that non-technical users actually finish
  • A freemium tier still exists, limited to 3 actions per day per type

What we don't

  • Runs in your browser, so the actions come from your own session and IP
  • Email finding is a paid add-on on top of the seat
  • The widely repeated '80 free invitations a month' figure is not on any Waalaxy page in 2026

02Expandi logo

Expandi

Cloud sequences with a dedicated IP per account

Best for Sales teamsCloudFrom $99/mo

The tool most often named when the conversation turns to account safety. It runs server-side, assigns each LinkedIn account a country-matched dedicated IP, and warms new accounts up automatically before raising the volume.

What we like

  • Dedicated country-matched IP per account, which is the part that matters
  • Automatic warm-up instead of leaving the ramp to you
  • Smart if/else branching in sequences

What we don't

  • The highest entry price on this list at $99 a month
  • Image and video personalisation needs paid third-party add-ons
  • Several sources report a strict no-refund policy

03MyFeedIn logo

MyFeedIn

Outreach at a pace a human could hold

Best for Founders and creatorsCloud

Not a volume tool, and that is the point. You connect your LinkedIn account, build a list of people worth talking to, and send invitations and messages from your own account. It also does the part automation tools skip: reading the people you are targeting, through custom feeds and engagement lists, so the message has something to say.

What we like

  • Built around a shortlist of people, not a scraped list of thousands
  • Same product handles reading your market and reaching out to it
  • 7-day free trial with no credit card

What we don't

  • Not the tool if you need to send hundreds of invitations a week
  • No email channel, LinkedIn only
  • Outreach is on the Growth plan, not the entry tier
04Dripify logo

Dripify

The cleanest drip builder in the category

Best for Small sales teamsCloudFrom $59/user/mo

A cloud drip-campaign tool with drag-and-drop sequences, A/B testing and a team dashboard. It keeps running with your browser closed, which is the main thing it buys you over the extension tools.

What we like

  • Runs in the cloud, so campaigns continue with your laptop shut
  • Lowest genuine entry price among the serious cloud tools
  • 7-day trial with no credit card, on the Advanced feature set

What we don't

  • The Basic plan allows one active campaign at a time
  • Email features are thin next to true multichannel tools
  • No dedicated IP per account the way Expandi does it
How it compares to MyFeedIn
05HeyReach logo

HeyReach

Built for running many sender accounts at once

Best for AgenciesCloudFrom $79/sender/mo

The agency tool. It is designed around running campaigns across many LinkedIn accounts in parallel, with one unified inbox and a workspace per client. If you send from five or more accounts, nothing else here is built for it.

What we like

  • Unified inbox across every sender account
  • Per-client workspaces, which is why agencies pick it
  • Dedicated residential proxies per sender

What we don't

  • The marketing page reads as '$79 unlimited senders'. It is per sender: unlimited seats is the $2,399/mo tier
  • LinkedIn only, so you need a separate email tool
  • Per-sender cost adds up fast before the agency tiers kick in
06Linked Helper logo

Linked Helper

Runs from your own machine and your own IP

Best for Budget solo usersDesktop appFrom $15/mo

A desktop application rather than an extension or a cloud service, with a built-in CRM. Actions run from your own computer and residential connection, which is a genuinely different risk profile from a shared server IP.

What we like

  • Cheapest capable tool here, and steep discounts on longer terms
  • Runs from your own residential IP, not a shared datacentre one
  • Built-in CRM so you are not exporting to a spreadsheet

What we don't

  • Campaigns stop when your computer sleeps or shuts down
  • The interface shows its age
  • Not workable for a team or an agency
How it compares to MyFeedIn
07Dux-Soup logo

Dux-Soup

The old guard, with voice notes

Best for CRM-driven SDRsExtension or cloudFrom $14.99/mo

One of the oldest tools in this market. The cheap tiers run as a Chrome extension, and a cloud tier exists if you want campaigns to continue without the browser. Deep CRM integrations and automated voice notes, which almost nobody else offers.

What we like

  • Cheapest way in on annual billing
  • Voice-note automation, rare in this category
  • Deep integrations if you already live in a CRM

What we don't

  • The affordable tiers need Chrome open the whole time
  • Only a linear 12-step drip on the extension tiers, no branching
  • The cloud tier costs several times the entry price
08La Growth Machine logo

La Growth Machine

LinkedIn, email and calls in one sequence

Best for European sales teamsCloudFrom €60/identity/mo

Multichannel outreach organised around identities rather than seats, with lead enrichment included on every plan and no credit metering. It is explicit about being fully cloud-based with a dedicated mobile proxy per identity.

What we like

  • Unlimited enrichment included, no credit games
  • Genuinely multichannel, including LinkedIn voice messages
  • Dedicated mobile proxy per identity

What we don't

  • Per-identity pricing escalates quickly for a team
  • Lower tiers cap how many campaigns you can run
  • Euro pricing is friction if you buy in dollars
09PhantomBuster logo

PhantomBuster

Data extraction first, outreach second

Best for Growth and RevOpsCloudFrom $69/mo

A library of over a hundred cloud automations for LinkedIn and other platforms. It is the tool people reach for when building a custom pipeline into Clay, Zapier or Make, rather than running campaigns inside one product.

What we like

  • A permanent free plan, which almost nothing else here offers
  • Unmatched breadth of scrapers and automations
  • The default choice for custom lead-gen pipelines

What we don't

  • Priced in execution hours, which is confusing, and unused hours expire
  • It drives LinkedIn with your session cookie, a different risk shape
  • Not really a campaign tool, expect to assemble your own
How it compares to MyFeedIn
10Octopus CRM logo

Octopus CRM

The cheapest way to automate anything

Best for Recruiters and freelancersBrowser extensionFrom $9.99/mo

A lightweight Chrome extension that automates connection requests, messages, endorsements and profile views, with a simple funnel view on top. It works with a free LinkedIn account, which not every tool here does.

What we like

  • The lowest price on this list by some margin
  • Works on free LinkedIn, not just Premium or Sales Navigator
  • Simple enough to understand in ten minutes

What we don't

  • Extension model, so everything runs from your own session
  • Campaigns die when you close the browser
  • No conditional branching, sequences are linear

still not sure?

Frequently asked questions

The questions we get the most about LinkedIn automation.

Contact us

It depends on volume. To start gently, Waalaxy. For sustained outreach with the safest setup, Expandi. To run many client accounts, HeyReach. On a tight budget, Octopus CRM or Linked Helper. And if you do not actually want to automate, MyFeedIn sends from your own account at human pace.

It can, and no tool can promise otherwise. LinkedIn caps invitations at roughly 100 per rolling seven days on every account type, and the pace every vendor converges on is 20 to 30 a day. Going past the weekly cap typically costs one to three weeks of restricted features rather than a ban. Sending your whole allowance in one afternoon is the single biggest flag, ahead of the total volume itself.

Not automatically, despite what most comparisons claim. The variable that matters is whether your account gets a dedicated, geographically consistent IP. A cloud tool on a shared datacentre IP can be riskier than an extension running on your home connection. What extensions genuinely cost you is availability: they stop when you close the browser.

Around 20 to 30 a day on an established account, which lands under the weekly cap of roughly 100. A new account should ramp up instead: five to ten a day in the first week, rising over three or four weeks. Keep your acceptance rate above 30% and withdraw pending invitations once they pile up past a few hundred.

Its self-serve LinkedIn automation product was discontinued, and zopto.com now serves Zeekeo, a done-for-you lead generation agency. Most listicles still list Zopto as an active product, which is worth knowing if you are comparing pages.

Almost none, and the ones people cite are usually trials. PhantomBuster has a genuine free plan capped at 30 minutes of execution a month. Waalaxy keeps a freemium tier limited to three actions per day per type, though it is not shown on their pricing page. Everything else here is a 7 to 14 day trial, then paid.

Because it is not the most powerful automation tool here, and saying otherwise would waste your time. If you need to send hundreds of invitations a week, Expandi or HeyReach will serve you better. MyFeedIn sits at number three for people who want measured outreach from their own account, plus the reading side that automation tools skip.

Want the outreach without the restriction risk?

MyFeedIn Growth sends invitations and messages from your own account, at a pace a human could hold. 7-day free trial, no credit card.
