How we picked
We looked at what a small team needs to start real conversations on LinkedIn, not just send more invites. What matters most to this buyer:
- Personal at a natural pace: Messages that read like you wrote them, sent within daily limits that keep your account safe.
- Runs in the cloud: Nothing to install or keep running on your own computer.
- Clear, published pricing: We list the lowest plan each tool publishes, billed monthly unless we say otherwise.
- Fits a small team: Easy to set up without an ops person, with a trial so you can try it first.
We read each tool’s own pricing page and product docs on 13 November 2026, then ranked the tools by fit for a solo seller or small team automating LinkedIn connection requests and messages. Where a vendor publishes no price or limit, we say so.
We make bravabase. It is fourth on this list because it also finds who to message (people showing a buying signal, with their work email and phone number) and writes each message for your approval. It ranks below the three automation tools because it isn’t built to send high-volume sequences, and if automation is all you need, Waalaxy and HeyReach cost less. Prices change often: check each tool’s site before you buy.
The 9 best LinkedIn outreach tools, ranked
Prices are the lowest published plan, checked on each tool’s own site on 13 November 2026.
1. Waalaxy
Best for a low-cost, easy start.
- What it does best: An easy, low-cost way to start LinkedIn outreach. It runs fully in the cloud from a web app, so there is nothing to install, and includes an email finder.
- Pricing: Billed yearly, Pro is €19 per user a month, Advanced €49 and Business €69. Yearly billing saves up to 50% and quarterly 20%, so paying monthly costs more. 14-day free trial. The LinkedIn inbox is a €20-a-month add-on.
- Who it suits: Freelancers and beginners testing LinkedIn outreach on a budget.
- Drawback: Pro caps you at 300 invitations a month (800 on the other plans), and its email finder gives 25 credits a month on Pro, so you’ll outgrow it quickly if outreach works.

Best for cloud-based LinkedIn and email sequences.
- What it does best: Runs in the cloud with a dedicated, country-based IP for each account, and puts connection requests, messages and email follow-ups in one sequence.

3. HeyReach
Best for agencies running many LinkedIn accounts.
- What it does best: Runs campaigns from many LinkedIn accounts at once, with daily limits per sender, and puts every reply in one inbox.

4. bravabase
Best for finding the right people first, then messaging them.
- What it does best: Brava, your AI agent, finds people showing they need what you sell, gives each a fit score, then writes a personal connection request, message or InMail for each one. Every message waits for your approval and goes out within daily limits you set. Replies land in one inbox with the next reply drafted.
- Pricing: $99 per user a month, or $948 a year ($79 a month). Includes 500 quality leads a month, each with a real buying signal, 1,500 AI credits a month for work emails, phone numbers and posts, 2 always-on Discovery agents and free message drafts. Top up 1,000 credits for $35. 7-day free trial with 250 credits. See pricing.
- Who it suits: Founders, consultants and small teams who want fewer, better conversations rather than mass invites.
- Drawback: It doesn’t send bulk cold email or run high-volume sequences. Brava finds work emails and phone numbers, but if you want automated email steps in the same sequence as LinkedIn, Expandi or lemlist does both.

- Who it suits: Solo sellers and small sales teams who want set-and-forget sequences.

Questions, answered
What is the best LinkedIn outreach tool?
It depends on how you sell. Waalaxy is the easiest low-cost start, Expandi suits LinkedIn-and-email sequences, and HeyReach suits agencies with many accounts. bravabase is best if you want an AI agent to find the right people and write each message for you to approve. Linked Helper suits tight budgets.
Are LinkedIn automation tools safe?
LinkedIn’s user agreement doesn’t allow third-party automation, so every tool here that sends for you carries some risk. Keep daily volumes modest, send personal messages and use a tool with daily limits you control.
How much does LinkedIn outreach software cost?
Entry plans run from $15 per LinkedIn account a month (Linked Helper Standard) to $119.99 per user a month (Sales Navigator Core, which doesn’t automate). Most cloud tools cost $59 to $109 per user or sender a month.
Do I need Sales Navigator for LinkedIn outreach?
No. Sales Navigator helps you search, but you don’t need it to send messages. bravabase finds leads for you and can also import a Sales Navigator search if you have one.
Can I do LinkedIn and email outreach in one tool?
Yes. Expandi and lemlist run sequences on both. bravabase finds work emails and phone numbers and drafts outreach you approve, with LinkedIn as one connected channel. It doesn’t send bulk cold email, so use an email tool for high-volume sequences.
