Booost vs Dripify: one of us sells you higher limits, the other sets them to protect the account.

The short answer

Booost Business runs on a machine you own, does outreach and content — drafting posts from your own sources, publishing them under your name or as a Company Page, engaging with them — and puts no quota on what you may send. €99 per managed account per month, €79 on Basic.

Dripify is a cloud outreach platform. Campaigns run on their servers whether or not your computer is on. From $39 per user per month billed annually.

The trade, in one line: Dripify has nothing to install. Booost does a larger job, on hardware nobody else can act from, without selling you your own limits. Read the price section before deciding which is cheaper — the two entry prices buy very different things.

What Booost does that Dripify does not

Your limits are set by safety, not by your invoice. This is the sharpest difference between the two products, and it is on Dripify's own pricing page: the $39 Basic plan allows 20 connection requests, 30 messages and 10 InMails a day, and one campaign. "Full daily quotas" — 75 connections, 100+ messages — is a paid upgrade. Booost has no plan quota on any edition: the only ceilings are the anti-ban ones, they are the same on Basic and Pro, and they exist to keep the account alive rather than to move you up a tier. Nobody at Booost sells you permission to go faster.

Your session never leaves your machine. Booost signs into LinkedIn the way you do — a browser on your computer, your own connection. We never receive your password, and there is no copy of your session on a server we control. For Dripify's core promise to work, Dripify must be able to reach LinkedIn as you while you are away; that is not a criticism, it is the mechanism the feature requires.

We are deliberate about the wording: "the session stays local" and "the data stays local" are two different promises, and only the first one is ours — your connection graph does travel to our servers, because that is where the network intelligence below is computed. Our own documentation says it that way rather than glossing over it.

It maps the network you already have. Booost scores every contact on six axes — thematic fit, seniority, activity, target fit, influence and proximity — each with the evidence behind it, and shows your network as a graph connected by company, school and shared themes. The Strategy tab tracks an affinity score (0–100) for people you want in your network, rising with real interactions and cooling with silence, and can suggest a warm path through a mutual connection and draft the note. Everything is scored against the goals and target audience you set in a two-minute interview. Dripify — and the other four — work from lists you import, enrich or buy: nobody in this comparison maps the network you already have.

It publishes, not just prospects. Booost drafts posts from your own sources, publishes them under your name or as a Company Page, and reacts, comments and reposts around them — in the same workflow as the outreach. Dripify automates outreach. So do Waalaxy, Expandi, HeyReach and lemlist: not one of the five publishes content on LinkedIn.

The AI is included flat. On Pro, model access is part of the subscription: no key to configure, no credit bundles, no tokens to top up mid-month. On Basic you bring your own key, across 20 providers. And because Booost publishes, its AI writes posts, comments and replies in your voice, in any language — not only outreach copy.

The account is warmed up, not pushed. Weeks of warm-up, actions spread across a working day, and a brake that engages when LinkedIn's responses change.

Built in the EU, GDPR by default, and the desktop app is audited WCAG 2.2 AA.

And Booost Personal is a different product entirely — a browser extension with its own dashboard, for people who want to be present on LinkedIn rather than run campaigns. It reads a post, drafts a comment in your voice in any language, and you publish it. It automates nothing, which is the one compliance claim nobody else in this category can make; it has its own section below. €19–29 per account per month.

"But it runs with your machine off" — so does Booost, on hardware you own

Dripify sells this in plain words: "campaigns run on our servers, so nothing depends on your browser being open or your machine being on". It is true, and it is worth answering rather than conceding.

Booost Business runs while the machine it is installed on is running — and that machine does not have to be your laptop. Every release ships a Linux .deb and an AppImage next to the Windows and macOS builds, and the licence says you may install it on "any device of your own". A Debian server costing a few euros a month qualifies: install it there, leave it on, and campaigns run around the clock.

So both run 24/7. The difference is whose machine acts as you — theirs or yours — and only one of those requires a third party to hold something that can log in as you.

One honest gap, documentation rather than architecture: we do not yet publish a step-by-step guide for a headless server, where a desktop application needs a virtual display. It works; the guide is not written yet.

Where Dripify is stronger

1. Nothing to install, and nothing to keep running. You open a browser and you are working — no machine to own, no server to think about. For some buyers that is the whole decision, and Booost cannot offer it.
2. It is established. Years in production against a product that opens on 1 September 2026.
3. A dedicated IP tied to your account and location — a real answer to the data-centre problem, and more than some cloud tools in this category document at all.
4. Integrations at the Pro tier. Webhooks and HubSpot from $59; Booost has neither yet. This one is a genuine gap on our side, not a difference of philosophy.

Prices, as each company lists them

Read the right-hand column first. That is where the two products stop being comparable.

Currencies are left as each company publishes them: converting them produces a table that goes wrong on its own when the rate moves.

The $39 headline is worth reading carefully. It is one campaign and twenty connection requests a day. If that is your volume, Dripify is genuinely cheaper and you should buy it. If it is not, the comparable Dripify plan is Pro or Advanced — and the gap narrows to a difference that no longer explains itself.

Booost's founding price gives the Pro edition at the Basic price — €79 per account — locked for as long as the subscription stays active: a price that stops moving rather than a discount that expires.

The claim nobody in this category can make — except one

Section 8.2 of LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits third-party software that automates activity on LinkedIn regardless of where it runs, naming bots, browser plug-ins and browser extensions. Cloud platforms are covered; so are desktop applications; so is Booost Business, and our Acceptable Use Policy says exactly that in writing rather than in small print.

Nobody here — us included — can honestly claim LinkedIn's approval, and nobody has published data comparing restriction rates between architectures. Argue about the mechanism, which is checkable; be sceptical of anyone quoting a percentage.

The exception is Booost Personal, and it is the only clean compliance claim in the category: it performs no action on LinkedIn at all. It drafts, a human publishes. No cloud tool can say that, and no other browser extension can either, because both of them act.

How to choose

If you want nothing to install and your volume fits inside twenty connection requests a day, Dripify is cheaper and simpler, and this page has told you so.

If your limits should be decided by what keeps the account alive rather than by which plan you are on — and if you want the tool to build your presence and not only send your invitations — that is the product Booost is.

Booost opens on 1 September 2026. Join the waitlist to keep the founding price.
