--- title: 10 Best LinkedIn Automation Tools in 2026 (Ranked) description: "The 10 best LinkedIn automation tools, with entry pricing checked on each vendor's own page, how each one runs, and what actually gets your account restricted." url: https://myfeedin.co/best-linkedin-automation-tools type: listicle updated: 2026-08-20 source: MyFeedIn --- # The 10 best LinkedIn automation tools What each one costs, where it runs, and what it does to your account. > **Disclosure.** MyFeedIn publishes this page and is ranked 3rd, not 1st, because it is not the most powerful automation tool here. It is 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. ## At a glance | # | Tool | From | Runs as | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Waalaxy | From €19/user/mo | Browser extension | Solo founders | | 2 | Expandi | From $99/mo | Cloud | Sales teams | | 3 | MyFeedIn (this site) | From €29/mo (Growth) | Cloud | Founders and creators | | 4 | Dripify | From $59/user/mo | Cloud | Small sales teams | | 5 | HeyReach | From $79/sender/mo | Cloud | Agencies | | 6 | Linked Helper | From $15/mo | Desktop app | Budget solo users | | 7 | Dux-Soup | From $14.99/mo | Extension or cloud | CRM-driven SDRs | | 8 | La Growth Machine | From €60/identity/mo | Cloud | European sales teams | | 9 | PhantomBuster | From $69/mo | Cloud | Growth and RevOps | | 10 | Octopus CRM | From $9.99/mo | Browser extension | Recruiters and freelancers | ## 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. ## How we ranked these 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. ## 1. Waalaxy **From €19/user/mo · Browser extension · Best for Solo founders** *The easiest way into LinkedIn automation* 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. **Pros** - 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 **Cons** - 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 [Website](https://www.waalaxy.com) · [Compared with MyFeedIn](https://myfeedin.co/alternatives/waalaxy) ## 2. Expandi **From $99/mo · Cloud · Best for Sales teams** *Cloud sequences with a dedicated IP per account* 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. **Pros** - 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 **Cons** - 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 [Website](https://expandi.io) · [Compared with MyFeedIn](https://myfeedin.co/alternatives/expandi) ## 3. MyFeedIn **From €29/mo (Growth) · Cloud · Best for Founders and creators** *Outreach at a pace a human could hold* 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. **Pros** - 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 **Cons** - 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 [Website](https://myfeedin.co) ## 4. Dripify **From $59/user/mo · Cloud · Best for Small sales teams** *The cleanest drip builder in the category* 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. **Pros** - 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 **Cons** - 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 [Website](https://dripify.com) · [Compared with MyFeedIn](https://myfeedin.co/alternatives/dripify) ## 5. HeyReach **From $79/sender/mo · Cloud · Best for Agencies** *Built for running many sender accounts at once* 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. **Pros** - Unified inbox across every sender account - Per-client workspaces, which is why agencies pick it - Dedicated residential proxies per sender **Cons** - 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 [Website](https://www.heyreach.io) ## 6. Linked Helper **From $15/mo · Desktop app · Best for Budget solo users** *Runs from your own machine and your own IP* 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. **Pros** - 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 **Cons** - Campaigns stop when your computer sleeps or shuts down - The interface shows its age - Not workable for a team or an agency [Website](https://www.linkedhelper.com) · [Compared with MyFeedIn](https://myfeedin.co/alternatives/linkedhelper) ## 7. Dux-Soup **From $14.99/mo · Extension or cloud · Best for CRM-driven SDRs** *The old guard, with voice notes* 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. **Pros** - Cheapest way in on annual billing - Voice-note automation, rare in this category - Deep integrations if you already live in a CRM **Cons** - 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 [Website](https://www.dux-soup.com) ## 8. La Growth Machine **From €60/identity/mo · Cloud · Best for European sales teams** *LinkedIn, email and calls in one sequence* 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. **Pros** - Unlimited enrichment included, no credit games - Genuinely multichannel, including LinkedIn voice messages - Dedicated mobile proxy per identity **Cons** - 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 [Website](https://www.lagrowthmachine.com) ## 9. PhantomBuster **From $69/mo · Cloud · Best for Growth and RevOps** *Data extraction first, outreach second* 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. **Pros** - A permanent free plan, which almost nothing else here offers - Unmatched breadth of scrapers and automations - The default choice for custom lead-gen pipelines **Cons** - 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 [Website](https://phantombuster.com) · [Compared with MyFeedIn](https://myfeedin.co/alternatives/phantombuster) ## 10. Octopus CRM **From $9.99/mo · Browser extension · Best for Recruiters and freelancers** *The cheapest way to automate anything* 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. **Pros** - 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 **Cons** - Extension model, so everything runs from your own session - Campaigns die when you close the browser - No conditional branching, sequences are linear [Website](https://octopuscrm.io) ## Pick by what you're trying to do | Goal | Pick | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | I want to try automation without breaking anything | Waalaxy | Gentlest onboarding, and a freemium tier to feel out the pace first. | | I want the safest possible setup at volume | Expandi | Dedicated country-matched IP per account plus automatic warm-up. | | I don't want to automate at all | MyFeedIn | A shortlist of people worth talking to, contacted at human pace. | | I run outreach for several clients | HeyReach | Many sender accounts, one inbox, a workspace per client. | | I want the cheapest thing that works | Octopus CRM or Linked Helper | Both start around $10 to $15 a month and do the basics properly. | | I need LinkedIn and email in one sequence | La Growth Machine | Multichannel by design, with enrichment included rather than metered. | | I want to build my own pipeline | PhantomBuster | Raw automations you wire into Clay, Zapier or Make yourself. | ## FAQ ### What are the best LinkedIn automation tools in 2026? It depends on volume. Waalaxy to start gently, Expandi for the safest setup at volume, HeyReach for many client accounts, Octopus CRM or Linked Helper on a budget, and MyFeedIn if you would rather not automate at all. ### Will LinkedIn automation get my account banned? It can, and no tool can promise otherwise. LinkedIn caps invitations at roughly 100 per rolling seven days on every account type, and the sustainable pace is 20 to 30 a day. Going past the weekly cap typically costs one to three weeks of restricted features. Sending the whole allowance in one afternoon is the biggest flag. ### Are cloud tools safer than Chrome extensions? Not automatically. 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 on your home connection. Extensions do stop when you close the browser. ### How many connection requests can I send per day? Around 20 to 30 a day on an established account, under the weekly cap of roughly 100. A new account should ramp from five to ten a day over three or four weeks. Keep acceptance above 30% and withdraw old pending invitations. ### What happened to Zopto? 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 active. ### Is there a free LinkedIn automation tool? Almost none. PhantomBuster has a genuine free plan capped at 30 minutes of execution a month, and Waalaxy keeps a freemium tier of three actions per day per type. Everything else is a 7 to 14 day trial, then paid. ### Why is MyFeedIn not ranked first? Because it is not the most powerful automation tool here. If you need to send hundreds of invitations a week, Expandi or HeyReach will serve you better. MyFeedIn is for people who want measured outreach from their own account plus the reading side automation tools skip. --- Canonical version: https://myfeedin.co/best-linkedin-automation-tools Published by MyFeedIn (https://myfeedin.co).
