Linki

Linki is an outreach platform for B2B founders and sales teams who want LinkedIn and email sequencing in one campaign. Its combination of reply triage and self-hosting is compelling, but Sales Navigator imports need a separate subscription and LinkedIn automation carries ban risk.

Overview

Campaigns can combine LinkedIn actions with email steps, set delays, and track each lead’s progress. That joined-up workflow is useful for small teams coordinating follow-ups across channels; teams seeking only a single-channel tool may not need its breadth.

The open-source edition runs with Docker or Node.js on a VPS or laptop. The repository says self-hosting keeps data on the user’s own server. The source-available Linki Sustainable Use License permits personal and business use, self-hosting, modification, and contributions.

Key features

Sequencing and lead enrichment

Linki combines LinkedIn actions with email steps and configurable delays, while per-lead state tracking shows where contacts are in a campaign. Email accounts connect through SMTP and IMAP, and Apollo.io enrichment uses an API key. These integrations make Linki a fit for teams already able to configure those services, rather than buyers seeking an entirely turnkey setup.

Message drafting and reply handling

The managed edition can write messages from a global voice, campaign angle, and step instructions. Previews and model selection through OpenRouter give users a chance to review content and choose a model before sending. Reply classification recognizes out-of-office messages, forwarded contacts, and clear next steps, and can trigger follow-ups. This helps teams keep responses moving through a campaign; the AI-writing capability is described for the managed edition.

Imports and agent access

Sales Navigator list imports require a separate Sales Navigator subscription, adding a recurring cost for teams that source leads there. Managed plans include a hosted MCP API for Claude and Cursor to read contacts, lists, campaigns, and replies, and trigger LinkedIn actions. That is useful for teams working with those agents, but does not remove the need to weigh automation risk: the maker does not guarantee freedom from LinkedIn account bans and advises starting gently and following LinkedIn’s rules.

Pricing

Linki has an open-source edition and three monthly managed plans. Launch at €20 a month includes one concurrent campaign, the AI message writer, automatic reply triage, and unlimited seats. It suits a team running one active campaign, but the single-campaign limit constrains parallel outreach.

Momentum at €50 a month adds several concurrent campaigns and the hosted MCP API, while retaining the writer, triage, and unlimited seats. It fits teams that need to run campaigns in parallel or connect agent workflows. Summit at €90 a month offers the highest campaign limit, MCP API, writer, triage, and unlimited seats; it is aimed at agencies and larger teams. No specific campaign count is given for either higher tier, so buyers should confirm the limit that meets their workload.

The managed plans are billed monthly. The product is marked free, with a free plan and trial, but no trial length or separate free-plan caps are stated. The self-hosted source is the clearest fit for users who want to run Linki themselves; the managed plans trade that setup path for hosted features.

Platforms

Linki supports API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows. Docker or Node.js deployment on a VPS or laptop gives technically comfortable users control over hosting; managed plans provide a hosted option.

Who it's for

Linki is best suited to B2B founders and sales teams that want multi-step LinkedIn and email outreach, message drafting, and reply triage under one campaign model. Agencies and larger teams may find Summit’s higher campaign limit more appropriate. It is a weaker fit for teams unwilling to accept LinkedIn automation risk or pay separately for Sales Navigator list imports.

Pros and cons

Pros

LinkedIn and email steps share campaigns, delays, and per-lead tracking, supporting coordinated outreach across channels.

Self-hosting and a license permitting business use and modification give teams control over deployment and the code.

Managed plans include AI message writing and reply triage; the higher tiers add hosted MCP access without per-seat limits.

Cons

Sales Navigator list imports require a separate subscription, increasing the cost for that lead-sourcing route.

The maker cannot guarantee zero account-ban risk from LinkedIn automation, a material concern for users protecting established accounts.

Alternatives

Browse LinkedIn Automation Software for more options in the category. LeadConnect is worth considering for buyers who want a free tier capped at two invites and six message credits per day, or a $25.95 monthly Professional plan. Choose Linked Helper if a 14-day full Pro trial with no daily caps and self-hosted desktop platforms suits your evaluation better.

Outroh is another freemium web option. OpenOutreach is another free, self-hosted option. Relinta offers a free Starter tier with one workspace, one LinkedIn account, and up to 1,000 leads; its Pro plan is $79 a month per LinkedIn account. Consider ReachBoost, Salesflow, or Expandi as alternatives if their respective pricing and plan terms fit your requirements.

Verdict

Choose Linki if you want LinkedIn and email sequences, reply handling, and the choice of self-hosting or managed service in one B2B outreach tool. The main reason to look elsewhere is the combination of LinkedIn account risk and the separate Sales Navigator subscription needed for list imports.
