Key Takeaways
- Fix your own four variables before you compare a single competitor. Linked Helper multiplies plan, storage type, term length and licence count together, so the same software bills anywhere from $8.25 to $29.90 per licence a month. Any figure you quote without those four settled is meaningless.
- Waalaxy is the switch that keeps the local model, Dripify is the switch that ends it. Waalaxy sends from your own browser at €19 per user a month on yearly billing. Dripify runs on the vendor's platform at $39 per user a month on annual billing. Between them they cover most reasons for leaving.
- Picking cloud storage means your campaign database lives in the United States. The vendor says so on its own pricing page. Anyone with a data-residency clause in their procurement checklist has that decision made for them.
- Five billing units appear on this page and none of them convert cleanly. Licences, seats, sender accounts, identities and execution hours all price differently at scale. Divide by sending profiles before you rank anything.
- The reply is where automation ends in nine of these ten tools, and that is meetergo's whole argument. Everywhere else a notification arrives and a human opens a calendar. In one, the time gets agreed inside the thread.
- One vendor in eleven publishes what its AI does with your text. The rest say nothing on retention or training, and this page records that silence as silence rather than filling it in.
Linked Helper, spelled LinkedHelper about as often, sells through a price calculator instead of a plan ladder. That is both why it looks cheap and why comparisons against it keep going wrong. Every figure below carries its billing unit and the date somebody read it.
What a Linked Helper Licence Actually Buys
Linked Helper is desktop software. You install it on a Mac or Windows machine you own, or on a VPS you rent, and the vendor states the consequence openly: that machine has to be powered on with the app running before any campaign step fires. It is not a browser extension, and the company says nothing is injected into the LinkedIn page itself. Each connected account gets its own instance, its own browser fingerprint and its own proxy, and actions imitate mouse movement and in-page navigation (checked 10 October 2026).
What you get for the money is unusually broad. Funnel steps run follow, profile visit, endorsement, invite and message chains that halt as soon as a lead writes back. Lead sources include LinkedIn search, Sales Navigator, groups, events, post interactions and company employee lists. A licence-level CRM holds tags, notes, custom fields and the history of every automated touch, while the Data Enricher pulls emails and phone numbers without a profile visit. On the AI side there is message generation, ICP detection, comment writing and a reply assistant, sitting next to older machinery like spintax and IF-THEN-ELSE templates. Native connectors reach HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, ActiveCampaign and Close, with Google Sheets, Zapier, Make and webhooks behind them.
Then you reach the pricing, where there is no single number to write down.

Local figures checked 10 October 2026, cloud base checked 5 October 2026. Terms discount at 11% for three months, 33% for six and 45% for twelve. Volume discounts begin at 10% for ten licences and top out at 50% past a thousand. Because the two stack, twenty Standard licences bought for a year land at $6.60 per licence a month against a $3,600 list subtotal. Everything in a single subscription has to share one plan, one term and one workspace.

Three clauses inside that structure surprise people. Standard holds a set of advanced actions, likes and comments among them, to 20 a day, and lifting them means buying Pro. You cannot move from Standard to Pro mid-term; the licence has to expire first. And renewal is off unless somebody switches it on, so a licence stops rather than rolls. Data credits sit at 620 a month on Standard against 3,100 on Pro. Those never expire, but the AI credits bundled with a licence die when the licence does.
G2 shows 4.5 from 149 reviews (checked 5 October 2026), a sample large enough to carry weight and an average near the top of this category.

Four reasons for leaving keep recurring. There is the powered-on machine, which a VPS solves by adding a bill and an administrator. There is the storage decision, where the convenient option sits on US servers. There is the configuration depth, which earns the high rating and costs a first week. And there is the reply, which arrives without a booking behind it. A 10-comment thread in r/b2bmarketing puts the question exactly that way, written by somebody coming back to LinkedIn outreach after five years off and asking what has changed.
Three Questions That Cut This List in Half
Trialling ten tools eats a week, roughly what a 40-comment r/Entrepreneur thread working through the category one product at a time spent before it reached a shortlist. Three answers knock most of the list out before you fill in a signup form.
How many sending profiles, and on what commitment?
Start with a profile count, apply each vendor's unit to it, then decide how long a term you will actually sign. For one person, per-licence, per-seat and per-sending-profile all resolve to the same figure. For an agency on fifteen client accounts they separate by thousands a year: one vendor sells twenty-five sender accounts for $999 a month, nowhere near twenty-five times what it charges for one. Term length shifts the total nearly as hard as the unit does, and every cheap headline rate below assumes a year of commitment.
Does your campaign data need to stay under EU law?
Treat this as procurement, not preference. Local storage leaves the database on hardware you own. The cloud option hosts it in the United States, which the vendor publishes rather than hides. If the answer is that data stays in the EU, half the product is unavailable to you and the real choice becomes keeping a machine running indefinitely or buying something hosted in Europe. Plenty of the alternatives below are US-hosted as well, so this question thins the field faster than price ever does.
What happens in the four hours after someone replies?
Pricing pages never cover this. In nine of the ten tools here a notification fires and that is the end of the automation. Somebody opens a calendar, picks a few windows, types them out, attaches a link, and a proportion of those warm threads cools before anyone chooses. Low reply volume is a sequencing problem, and a stronger sequencer solves it. Replies that land and then fade are something else entirely, and no sequencer touches them.

Competitor prices and ratings checked 5 October 2026, with Expandi re-read on 9 October and Dux-Soup on 10 October. An entry of not stated means no published statement on the subject could be found and quoted. Those cells describe a documentation gap. They are not an accusation about what any vendor does.
1. meetergo: Best for Booking the Meeting Inside the Chat
meetergo is a Cologne-built scheduling and revenue platform with coverage across sales, recruiting and other verticals. Alone on this list, its LinkedIn app closes the conversation instead of passing it along: the assistant, Mira, agrees a time inside the thread, and the prospect is never sent to a scheduling page. Both execution and storage sit on EU infrastructure rather than a device of yours, and the invoice counts connected LinkedIn accounts rather than people, so four profiles cost the same whether one operator works them or four do.
Key Features
Booking inside the LinkedIn conversation
When a lead says yes, Mira reads open slots from your connected calendars, shows them in the lead's own time zone, locks in whichever one they choose, attaches a meetergo video link, and writes the result into the calendar and the CRM at the same time. A reschedule happens in the thread where the first conversation did.

Lead import from seven sources
A campaign list can be built from a LinkedIn search, a Sales Navigator search, a Recruiter link, the reactions under a post, an event's attendee list, a CSV upload or CRM contacts selected by tag. Imports run quietly in the background at human speed and stop at 1,000 people each. Drop in a link from an "All" results page and the tool rewrites it into a People search for you.

Sequences that branch on acceptance
A single campaign can string together a profile view, a like on a recent post, a connection request with a note, then messages sent as text or as a voice recording, and it can run that chain across several sender accounts simultaneously. The sequence splits on whether the request was accepted inside a deadline, which keeps messages away from people who have no way to read them. Anything still pending withdraws itself somewhere between 7 and 21 days.

One inbox for LinkedIn, WhatsApp and email
Replies land in a shared inbox alongside WhatsApp and email traffic, company pages included. Responses go out as text, images, files or voice notes, and a contact saves to the CRM in a single click, with status and snooze working as they do on every other channel. Mira labels each incoming reply interested or not interested, so a genuine yes does not queue behind a pile of out-of-office bounces. Who sees what depends on role: admins get everything, team admins get their team, everybody else gets their own, and a private mode narrows the view to threads meetergo opened.

Billing counts connected LinkedIn accounts, discounting 10% past ten of them and 20% past twenty-five, and every paid tier opens with a 7-day trial. Full tier details live on meetergo pricing.
Where meetergo Shines
- A slot is confirmed while the prospect still has the thread open, which is the window speed to lead was coined to measure.
- Campaigns execute on EU infrastructure, so there is no machine to keep awake and no VPS to rent as a substitute for one.
- Charging by account rather than by licence means the bill does not move when the team does.
- Outreach, the CRM and the LinkedIn CRM view read from one database, removing the export-and-reimport step between prospecting and pipeline.
- Workflow triggers fire on a confirmed booking, a deal changing stage, a lost deal or an answered connection request, so preparation steps start themselves.

Where meetergo Falls Short
- Coverage is LinkedIn alone, with Instagram, X and general web scraping out of scope.
- Nothing runs locally, and local execution is exactly what some buyers chose desktop software for.
- The app sits on top of a plan subscription rather than replacing it, so two charges appear.
- One accepted-or-not fork is the extent of the branching, nowhere near IF-THEN-ELSE depth.
- There is no equivalent of a built-in Data Enricher, so email and phone lookup has to come from somewhere else.
Customer Reviews
No independent rating exists for the LinkedIn app. There is no G2 or Capterra entry, and borrowing a score from some other meetergo product would tell you nothing about this one, so that table cell is deliberately empty. The gap is real: every other tool here can be checked against strangers who paid for it, and this one cannot be yet. What exists is vendor-reported. The sales solutions page claims no-show reduction of up to 80% and sales cycles around 30% shorter. Those come from the company, not from reviewers, and should be read at that discount until outside ratings arrive.

Who meetergo Is Best For
- Teams whose pipeline leaks between an answered message and a scheduled call rather than at the top of the funnel.
- Buyers who want outreach, inbox, scheduling and CRM under EU jurisdiction without administering hardware to get it.
Curious whether booking inside the thread changes your own reply-to-call rate? Start on the free meetergo plan and put one campaign through it. Unlimited users, no card required.
2. Waalaxy: Best for Keeping the Local Model and Cutting the Bill
Waalaxy is the closest structural match here and the cheapest option worth taking seriously. A browser extension does the work, billing counts users, and setup takes an afternoon because there is no hosted identity or proxy to arrange. The saving brings the constraint with it: close the browser and everything stops, so overnight progress is as impossible as it was before. There is nothing resembling a licence-level CRM with custom fields, no pooled sending for agency work and no video conferencing, email credits are purchased apart from the seat, and converting a reply into a calendar entry is still somebody's manual job.
Key Features
Extension-driven sequences
Steps execute inside your own browser session rather than through a hosted identity, which keeps activity tied to the device you already browse LinkedIn from.
Prebuilt campaign templates
A set of ready-made cadences covers the standard patterns, so a first campaign does not start from an empty canvas.
Email enrichment as an add-on
Addresses can be found and attached to LinkedIn leads, with the credits for that billed separately from the seat.
Pricing
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
Pro | €19 per user/month (yearly, 50% off list) |
PlanPro Price€19 per user/month (yearly, 50% off list) | |
Advanced | €49 per user/month (yearly) |
PlanAdvanced Price€49 per user/month (yearly) | |
Business | €69 per user/month (yearly) |
PlanBusiness Price€69 per user/month (yearly) | |
Prices checked 5 October 2026. All three rates depend on an annual commitment.

Where Waalaxy Shines
- At €19 it is the lowest believable entry point on this page for a sequencer that genuinely works.
- Activity stays on your device and in your session, which is the property that makes desktop tooling appealing to begin with.
- Template cadences remove the blank-page problem from a first campaign.
- Configuration finishes in an afternoon rather than consuming a week.
Where Waalaxy Falls Short
- That yearly rate is half of list price as a promotion, so the renewal figure is what belongs in a budget.
- Extra accounts mean extra seats and extra browser sessions, with nowhere central to watch them.
- A closed browser stops everything, so the machine dependency comes along with you.
- Contact handling is thinner than a CRM carrying tags, notes and custom fields.
Customer Reviews
G2 lists 4.5 from 1,604 reviews (checked 5 October 2026), the second-largest review base on this page and the same average as the subject of this article on roughly ten times the sample. Those reviewers lean solo and small-team rather than agency. The tool also surfaces as an early suggestion in an 8-comment r/MarketingAutomation discussion of LinkedIn outreach tooling, which fits that profile.

Who Waalaxy Is Best For
- Founders and solo sellers running their own outreach from one LinkedIn profile.
- Anyone who wants automation to stay on their own machine while the invoice gets smaller.
3. Dripify: Best for Ending the Machine Dependency Outright
Dripify solves outright what renting a VPS only patches over. The platform executes the campaigns, steps continue overnight, and nothing in your office needs to stay switched on. Its builder is deliberately linear, a genuine step down from IF-THEN-ELSE templates and worth testing your existing sequences against before you commit. Past the sequencer the box is fairly empty: no CRM, no video conferencing, no enrichment layer and no booking engine, which leaves an interested reply waiting in a human inbox for somebody to check a calendar.
Key Features
Linear drip campaigns
Steps run in sequence with delays between them, which matches the connect-then-follow-up rhythm most outreach actually uses, and there is no flowchart to keep in repair.
Cloud execution
Campaigns advance through nights and weekends on the vendor's platform rather than a desktop application, with each account paced on its own.
Team reporting
Activity and response numbers roll up across seats, so a manager can compare reps without logging into every account in turn.
Pricing
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
Basic | $39 per user/month (annual billing) |
PlanBasic Price$39 per user/month (annual billing) | |
Pro | $59 per user/month (annual billing) |
PlanPro Price$59 per user/month (annual billing) | |
Advanced | $79 per user/month (annual billing) |
PlanAdvanced Price$79 per user/month (annual billing) | |
Prices checked 5 October 2026.

Where Dripify Shines
- Campaigns keep moving with every machine in the building powered down.
- Nothing needs a proxy or an identity configured, so a first campaign can go out on day one.
- Reporting spans seats, which a device-bound product can only fake by collecting screenshots.
Where Dripify Falls Short
- There is no conditional logic, so anyone arriving with branching funnels leaves them behind.
- Per-user billing punishes a multi-account agency, because every sender eats a seat.
- One entry seat costs more than twice a yearly local licence elsewhere on this list.
- Nobody gets booked without a person stepping into the thread.
Customer Reviews
G2 rates Dripify 4.5 from 353 reviews (checked 5 October 2026), matching the average of the subject of this page on a little over twice the sample. Reviewers talk about how fast it is to set up far more than about what it cannot do, which is the usual bargain with a linear builder. A 7-comment r/AutomationSafety thread sorting alternatives by where the automation physically executes works through the same deployment question this section hangs on.

Who Dripify Is Best For
- Small teams and solo sellers whose sequences are plain enough that linear costs them nothing.
- Operators who want hosted sending with zero identity setup beforehand.
4. Expandi: Best for Managed Identities and Conditional Campaigns
Expandi keeps branching depth intact while lifting the hardware question off your desk. Connected profiles each receive a dedicated country-matched IP on the vendor's infrastructure, fresh accounts warm themselves, and sending stays inside ranges nobody on your side can override. Sequences fork on prospect behaviour rather than marching everyone down one road. The bill for that comes in two parts: one plan priced for a team with nothing cheaper beneath it, and a configuration depth that is the single most common theme in its reviews. CRM, video conferencing, enrichment and booking are all absent.
Key Features
Conditional campaign logic
Branches open off a profile view, an accepted request or a reply, so the next message a prospect receives depends on what they already did.
Dedicated country-based IP per account
Each connected profile sends from one fixed address matched to its location, which is the hosted answer to a question desktop software sidesteps by never leaving your hardware.
Enforced limit ranges and automatic warm-up
Vendor ranges cannot be exceeded from inside the product, and new accounts ramp on a schedule rather than on an operator's optimism.
Pricing
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
Business | $99/month (monthly billing), $79/month (annual billing, 20% off) |
PlanBusiness Price$99/month (monthly billing), $79/month (annual billing, 20% off) | |
Agency / Custom | From 10 seats, priced on request |
PlanAgency / Custom PriceFrom 10 seats, priced on request | |
Prices checked 9 October 2026. A 7-day trial opens the whole feature set.

Where Expandi Shines
- Forking funnels can be built properly instead of approximated with timed delays.
- Identity management belongs to the vendor, so proxies stop being your problem.
- Limits nobody internal can raise shield accounts from an ambitious quarterly target.
Where Expandi Falls Short
- One flat plan runs several times a yearly desktop licence and above most per-user options too.
- Build time for a first campaign dominates what reviewers write about.
- Email can ride along in a sequence, but a calendar entry still needs a person.
Customer Reviews
G2 scores Expandi 4.3 from 162 reviews (checked 5 October 2026), the lowest average in this comparison, though the spread across the page is narrow. Reviewers dwell on how long the first campaign takes to assemble rather than on failed sends or lost lists, and a hard first week is a very different complaint from an unreliable product.

Who Expandi Is Best For
- Growth teams whose funnels really do fork and who have somebody to maintain them.
- Buyers who would rather account safety were handled at the infrastructure layer than the device layer.
5. HeyReach: Best for Agencies Pooling Many Sender Accounts
HeyReach builds itself around pools of sending profiles instead of licences. Attach a group of LinkedIn accounts, aim one campaign across all of them, and replies collect in a single place rather than behind separate logins. Per-licence pricing handles that shape worst of all, which is precisely why agencies running several clients move here. Scope ends at LinkedIn messaging: an email channel means another subscription, CRM and enrichment are not included, payments and e-signatures are absent, and an answered message still sits waiting for somebody with a link.
Key Features
Pooled sending across accounts
One campaign distributes itself across every attached sender and paces each independently, and that mechanic is what agencies switch tools to hold on to.
Unified multi-account inbox
Conversations from every connected profile gather in one view, which saves an operator covering five client accounts an hour of signing in and out.
Volume-priced agency tiers
Per-account cost falls sharply above the entry plan, which is the whole reason the larger tiers exist.
Pricing
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
Growth | $79/month for 1 sender account (monthly billing) |
PlanGrowth Price$79/month for 1 sender account (monthly billing) | |
Agency | $999/month for 25 sender accounts (monthly billing) |
PlanAgency Price$999/month for 25 sender accounts (monthly billing) | |
Unlimited | $2,999/month, unlimited sender accounts (monthly billing) |
PlanUnlimited Price$2,999/month, unlimited sender accounts (monthly billing) | |
Prices checked 5 October 2026.

Where HeyReach Shines
- The pooling model is priced for operations carrying many profiles, exactly where seat and licence billing falls apart.
- One inbox across client accounts retires the daily login rotation.
- Each account carries its own pacing, which matters when connected profiles differ in age.
Where HeyReach Falls Short
- The single-sender plan offers poor value next to per-user and per-licence products.
- Scope covers LinkedIn only, so email has to be bought somewhere else.
- The automation ends at the reply and booking stays a manual step.
Customer Reviews
G2 reports 4.6 from 73 reviews (checked 5 October 2026). That average reads well, but 73 ratings is the second-thinnest sample here and carries less weight than the 4.5 figures standing on several hundred. A 10-comment r/gtmengineering thread going through the category tool by tool places it firmly on the agency side, which matches where its reviewers appear to sit.

Who HeyReach Is Best For
- Agencies and sales teams working ten or more sending profiles at once.
- Buyers whose real bottleneck is sorting through replies from many profiles, not producing more of them.
Five More Linked Helper Alternatives Worth Knowing
These five answer narrower questions. Each fits a specific situation well and the average reader of this page poorly.
Dux-Soup
Architecturally the nearest relative, since it also ships desktop software for your own Mac or Windows machine, and it has already built the hosted version many shoppers are out looking for. The local tier runs $55 per seat a month on monthly billing against $99 for cloud, with a quarter off for an annual commitment (checked 10 October 2026). That puts even the local tier at several times a yearly licence elsewhere, which is the uncomfortable part of the comparison. Campaign capabilities match across both deployments, and the full set of switching options is covered in our guide to Dux-Soup alternatives. G2 rating: 4.4 from 90 reviews, checked 5 October 2026.

lemlist
An email product first, and that is where its depth still sits: deliverability tooling, inbox warming and multichannel sequences, with LinkedIn bolted on as one channel rather than the core. On yearly billing the email tier is $55 a month and Multichannel is $87 (checked 5 October 2026), and since LinkedIn steps only exist on the upper tier, $87 is the number that belongs in this comparison. LinkedIn pacing per account is lighter than in the LinkedIn-native products, and no CRM ships with it. G2 rating: 4.6 from 2,323 reviews, far more than anything else here, though most of those people arrived for the email half.

Sendpilot
Bills per sender, pools the inbox, and shapes its tiers around sending on behalf of other people: $79 a month for one sender, $329 for five and $699 for twenty-five, all on monthly billing (checked 5 October 2026). Lead scoring sorts replies so real interest floats above polite declines, which returns genuine triage time once a shared inbox is holding several hundred open threads. Scope is LinkedIn messaging only, so email requires a second subscription, and no CRM is included. G2 rating: 4.5 from 209 reviews, deep enough for the average to carry information.

La Growth Machine
Sells identities rather than seats or licences, on annual billing: Basic €50, Pro €100 and Ultimate €150 per identity each month (checked 5 October 2026). An identity packages a rep's LinkedIn profile with their email address and phone number, which suits teams whose sequences genuinely use all three. It scales expensively, because every rep buys the full bundle whether the channels get used or not. Its 4.6 G2 average stands on 57 ratings, the smallest sample here, so read it as an early signal rather than a settled verdict.

PhantomBuster
Closer to a meter than a sequencer. The purchase is automation time across many networks, running from €56 a month for 20 execution hours to €352 for 300 (annual billing, checked 5 October 2026), and the design rewards extracting data over holding conversations. Work halts when the hours are gone rather than when the list is finished, which makes a continuous programme awkward to budget for. It deserves a look when list building is the genuine bottleneck, and the switching options get full treatment in our guide to PhantomBuster alternatives. G2 rating: 4.4 from 138 reviews.

What Happens to the Text Your AI Assistant Reads
Message generation, ICP detection and reply assistance now ship with most products in this category, the subject of this page very much included. Almost none of them publish where that text ends up. The text in question is named people, the companies employing them, whatever they let slip about budget, and the reason they turned you down.
Ten of the eleven tools here publish nothing quotable on retention or training, which is what every not stated cell above records. Silence is not misconduct. It does mean the question only gets answered after the data has already left, and a buyer sitting in a regulatory review cannot operate that way. One thing worth separating out: keeping the automation on your own machine does not settle this, and neither does keeping the database there. Execution location, storage location and the destination of a personalisation prompt are three different facts, and a vendor can publish one while saying nothing about the others.
meetergo is the exception here because its position is written down. The assistant, Mira, is served by open models on Mistral's platform in Paris and by EU-hosted models through Melious in Germany, each under zero data retention. A prompt and the LinkedIn conversation behind it are turned into a response and then kept nowhere, used in no training run, and handed to no US AI provider at any stage. The company's own FAQ addresses this directly under the question of whether inputs are stored. Material you deliberately upload to the knowledge base becomes embeddings in a separate EU vector store, kept apart from booking records.
The surrounding posture matches. No US corporate parent means no CLOUD Act reach to engineer around and no Schrems II gap to argue past, which is why the company turns up on GDPR software shortlists and in data sovereignty reviews. Put procurement's question about prompt destinations to the table above and this is the row that returns a citable answer.
Safety Features Are Risk Management, Not Permission
Worth stating plainly, because this category sells hard on safety and the desktop-versus-hosted argument gets dressed up as a rules argument. LinkedIn's user agreement rules out automated access and scraping. Where the code physically executes changes none of that, and neither does a browser fingerprint, a dedicated proxy or a warm-up schedule.
What those controls genuinely do is lower how often an account gets restricted: ceilings on daily volume, gradual ramps for new profiles, actions spread at human intervals rather than fired in bursts, and pacing adjusted to profile age. meetergo caps profile views and likes at a shared 30 a day by default with a hard maximum of 80, ramps a new account across three weeks at a quarter, half and three quarters of its limits before reaching full rate, and only acts inside working hours you define. Raising a ceiling, switching off warm-up or restarting after a restriction all require the account owner. The subject of this page arrives at the same place by a different route, with rolling 24-hour caps, randomised delays and start times, work-hour windows and a proxy health check scoring risk against country and time zone. Expandi's unraisable ranges are another instance of the same idea.

All of it manages risk on an asset LinkedIn owns and you do not. Anything promising immunity is marketing copy.
Where to Start
Settle your own three numbers first: sending profiles, term length, and whether campaign data has to remain in the EU. Keeping the local model while paying less sends you to Waalaxy at €19 per user a month on yearly billing. Wanting the machine dependency gone sends you to Dripify at $39 per user a month annually, or to Expandi at $99 a month if branching depth outweighs the price. Agencies on ten or more profiles should be running the numbers on HeyReach or Sendpilot per sender rather than per licence, and anyone committed to desktop software should at least see what Dux-Soup charges for its hosted version before signing another term. None of those choices touches the replies that never become calls, and closing that gap is the job meetergo's LinkedIn app was built for. The wider category is covered in our roundup of LinkedIn automation tools, the triage layer in lead qualification tools, and the surrounding stack in sales enablement software.

FAQs
What is the best Linked Helper alternative?
That depends which property you are replacing. Keeping automation on your own device for less money points to Waalaxy at €19 per user a month on yearly billing. Getting it off your device entirely points to Dripify at $39 per user a month annually, or Expandi at $99 a month flat where conditional branching matters. Agencies with many client profiles should price HeyReach or Sendpilot per sender account. Where the losses happen between an answered message and a booked call, meetergo is the only tool here that agrees the time inside the thread.
How much does Linked Helper cost?
No single figure exists, because the price comes from a calculator. A Standard licence with local storage opens at $15 per licence a month on a one-month term and drops to roughly $8.25 on a twelve-month term. With cloud storage the base is $29.90 a month, dropping to roughly $16.50 over the same term (local figures checked 10 October 2026, cloud base checked 5 October 2026). Term discounts of 11%, 33% and 45% apply at three, six and twelve months, volume discounts run from 10% at ten licences to 50% beyond a thousand, and the two stack. Pro costs more than Standard and removes the daily caps. Every licence in one subscription shares a plan, a term and a workspace.
Is Linked Helper the same as LinkedHelper?
Yes. The name appears both as two words and as one, and the vendor's own logo uses the compressed form. Either spelling leads to the same desktop automation tool, and everything in this comparison applies to both.
Does Linked Helper run in the cloud?
The automation does not. The vendor describes it as desktop software running on your own computer or a VPS you control, which is why the machine has to be on with the application open before a campaign advances. What the cloud option changes is storage rather than execution: campaign data sits on company servers in the United States instead of on your device. Renting a VPS for round-the-clock operation is the vendor's own suggested workaround, and it brings a second bill and a second system to administer.
Are there free Linked Helper alternatives?
None that will carry a production programme. A 14-day full-access trial is normal across this category, and meetergo runs a free tier with unlimited users, though its LinkedIn app is a paid add-on at €29.90 per connected account a month. Use a free tier to learn how sequences behave, not to run live outreach.
Does any Linked Helper alternative book meetings automatically?
One does. meetergo's assistant offers times in the lead's own time zone without the conversation leaving LinkedIn, confirms whichever slot they choose, attaches a video link, and records the result in the calendar and the CRM. The remaining nine tell you a reply arrived and return the booking to a person.
