HeyReach alternatives: what to use when the per-sender maths stops working.

Be honest about why you are looking

HeyReach charges $79 per sender per month, or $999 for twenty-five on the Agency plan — roughly $40 each, dropping further on longer commitments — and it does not charge for teammates, VAs or clients using the platform. At agency scale that is the best price on this page, and nothing below changes that.

So the people who leave are usually leaving for one of two reasons, and they are opposites:

• Too few accounts. At one or two senders, $79 each buys an agency-shaped tool you are not using as an agency.
• Outreach alone stopped being the job. HeyReach automates connection requests, messages and profile views. If you have started selling clients their presence — posts, comments, a Company Page — that is a second invoice HeyReach cannot take.

If neither of those is you, HeyReach is doing the job you bought it for, and this page is not going to invent a reason to switch.

The alternatives, side by side

⚠️ Read the price column against the unit, not the number. HeyReach bills per sender with a flat bundle at 25; Expandi and Booost bill per account with no bundle; Waalaxy, Dripify and lemlist bill per user, which is not the same thing once one person runs several accounts. Two of these tools look cheap until you multiply.

And the half that is actually rare: only two of these tools publish on LinkedIn — We-Connect through Post Remix, a $16/seat add-on, and Meet Alfred across four networks. What none of them does is build the post from your own sources: Booost reads your feeds, merges what several outlets say about one subject, and passes the draft through fact-check and faithfulness gates before it reaches you.

If you have too few accounts for HeyReach

• Waalaxy at €19 per user is the cheapest entry, with the caveat that it meters invitations (300/month, 800 above) and moved fully to the cloud in July 2026.
• Dripify advertises from $39 annually — that is one campaign and 20 connection requests a day; full quotas are the $59 Pro tier.
• Linked Helper is $15–45 and is a desktop app running from your own IP, which is a genuinely different architecture. Its AI is metered at 250 credits a month (500 on Pro).
• Expandi at $99 ($79 annual) is the like-for-like cloud tool if you want the safety positioning without the agency pricing shape.

If the job grew past outreach

This is the case where the list gets short, because it is not a pricing question.

Booost Business is the only tool on this page that builds a client's posts from the client's own sources: it reads their feeds, merges what several outlets say about one subject, passes it through fact-check and faithfulness gates, publishes under their name or as their Company Page, then reacts, comments and reposts around it. We-Connect and Meet Alfred publish too, but from what you or their AI writes, not from a source list you curate. For an agency that is a second line on the invoice — running a client's presence is a different service from running their outbound, and one of them is work HeyReach cannot take.

It also maps the network each client already has: every contact scored on six axes — thematic fit, seniority, activity, target fit, influence, proximity — each with the evidence behind it, plus an affinity score (0–100) that warms with real interaction and cools with silence, and a suggested warm path through a mutual connection. HeyReach syncs to HubSpot and enriches lists, which is useful and a different thing. For a client report, it is the difference between showing activity and showing relationships.

And the arithmetic does not favour us. Twenty-five Booost accounts are 25 × €99; HeyReach is $999. We are not going to dress that up. What the number buys is different — outreach for twenty-five accounts, versus outreach and presence for twenty-five accounts — so if you bill clients for content too, compare against what you would otherwise pay someone to write it.

What HeyReach sells that Booost does not

Three of these matter if you run at agency scale, and they are the reason to stay:

• Sender rotation across accounts. HeyReach rotates sending automatically across every connected account. Booost has no equivalent.
• A unified inbox across all accounts. HeyReach handles every account's messages in one place, including replying on behalf of colleagues. Booost's inbox is per account.
• GTM integrations. Instantly, Smartlead and HubSpot sync out of the box. Booost has none of them yet.

White-label is a fourth: HeyReach and Expandi both offer it, Booost does not.

The one claim nobody on this page can make — except one

Section 8.2 of LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits third-party software that automates activity wherever it runs, naming bots, plug-ins and browser extensions. Cloud platforms are covered, desktop applications are covered, Booost Business is covered — our Acceptable Use Policy says so in writing rather than in small print. X's automation rules say the same of its own website, and Booost drives both networks the same way: from your machine, at a human pace.

Nobody has published data comparing restriction rates between architectures, so treat any percentage as an opinion. Booost Personal is the exception: it performs no action on LinkedIn at all — it drafts, a human publishes.
