HeyReach alternatives: 8 LinkedIn tools compared by fit
HeyReach sends LinkedIn outreach to the lists you bring, across as many sender accounts as you connect. If you run one account and would rather have the people found for you, here is how eight tools compare on how they find people, write, let you approve and handle replies.

Most LinkedIn tools answer one question: how do I send to the people I already picked? The other question, who should I be writing to this week, is where these HeyReach alternatives differ most, so that is how they are compared here.
If you run many LinkedIn accounts from one place, HeyReach may well be the right tool already, and the section on when to stay says why. If you run one account and want the list built for you, read on. We make one of the tools, so it is listed first and the disclosure sits right below.
The short answer
If you run one LinkedIn account and want the people found for you from buying signals, with each first message written, the closest fit is FOUND, at $69 a month. If you want a sequencer that sends to lists you build, the tools below split by what else you need:
| If you mainly want | Look at |
|---|---|
| The people found for you from signals, and each message written, on one LinkedIn account | FOUND |
| Signal-based LinkedIn outreach with a HubSpot connection | Valley |
| Sequences for people you pick from your own LinkedIn or Sales Navigator searches | Waalaxy |
| Desktop software that keeps your LinkedIn session on your own machine | Linked Helper |
| Higher daily volume and a HubSpot integration | Dripify |
| Agency workspaces, white label, and image or GIF personalisation | Expandi |
| A B2B database and high email volume beside LinkedIn | Skylead |
| LinkedIn, email and calls in one sequence, with voice messages | La Growth Machine |
| Many LinkedIn accounts from one place, on a flat fee | Staying with HeyReach |
What HeyReach is built for
HeyReach is LinkedIn outreach for agencies, sales teams and GTM experts, built around running many sender accounts. You can connect as many LinkedIn accounts as you like and it rotates sending between them, with one flat fee for unlimited senders on its largest plan.
- Where the leads come from: you import LinkedIn contacts from Sales Navigator, Clay, RB2B, HubSpot or any other tool, or push in people who visit your site, engage with an ad or interact with your posts.
- The steps: connection requests, messages, voice notes and profile views, with If Connected logic to treat current connections apart from new ones.
- Replies: a unified inbox for every sender, with sentiment analysis and warm leads tagged automatically.
- Safety: on Growth, a dedicated residential proxy for each sender; on Agency and Unlimited you bring your own proxies.
- For builders: an API, webhooks, an MCP server and a CLI, so your own AI agents can run campaigns, and a HubSpot CRM sync.
- Who pays: a sender is a LinkedIn account you add. Teammates, assistants and clients cost nothing extra.

FOUND
FOUND is an agent for anyone who sells to other businesses, from a founder selling alone to a full sales team with a seat for every rep. Instead of a list you bring, it starts from what people do: it watches LinkedIn for people showing need, checks each one against your buyer, and writes to the ones who fit from your own LinkedIn account and mailbox.
- Finds people
- Seven kinds of signal: topics, experts in your market, competitors' company pages, your own posts and followers, people like your best customers, buying events such as funding and job changes, and companies using a tool. Every lead carries the reason it is there. Have a list already? Import it into Contacts and the agent writes to the people on it who fit.
- Writing
- Each message is built from the person's profile, the signal that found them and your positioning, in your tone. A message with a blank it could not fill is held back, never sent.
- Control

How we checked
We read each vendor's own website on 18 Oct 2026: its pricing page, its home page and, where a fact came from there, its FAQ. Prices are copied as shown, in the vendor's own currency, and where a pricing page has a billing switch we say which billing the price belongs to. For FOUND we used our own site and product.
We didn't run these tools side by side, so nothing here claims a reply rate or a lead count for any of them. Spotted something out of date? Write to hello@foundtofind.com.

Questions
What is the best HeyReach alternative for one LinkedIn account?
If you want the people found for you, FOUND: it watches buying signals, checks each person against your buyer and writes the first message, at $69 a month for one LinkedIn account and one mailbox. If you want a sequencer for your own lists, Dripify prices per user, with each seat connecting one LinkedIn account, and Linked Helper prices per license, one license per LinkedIn account.
Is there a HeyReach alternative that finds leads itself?
Yes. FOUND finds people from seven kinds of buying signal, such as people engaging with a competitor's company page, recent funding or a new job, and checks each one against your buyer before it writes. Valley also starts from signals, with plays for people engaging with your content, companies hiring and a competitor's audience.
HeyReach or Dripify?
HeyReach suits running many LinkedIn senders from one place, with rotation and a flat fee for unlimited senders on its largest plan. Dripify prices per user, with each seat connecting one LinkedIn account, and lists daily limits of up to 75 connection requests. Both send to the people you choose; for the people found for you, see FOUND above.
