HeyReach vs Linki

HeyReach is a LinkedIn outreach automation tool for agencies, salespeople, growth marketers, and GTM engineers. Campaigns can send connection requests, messages, follow-ups, voice notes, and profile views, including an “If Connected” condition. Multiple LinkedIn accounts can be connected, with sending rotated among them, while the Unified Inbox gathers messages across accounts. Contacts can be imported from Sales Navigator, Clay, RB2B, HubSpot, and other tools. Listed integrations include Instantly, Clay, n8n, HubSpot, Slack, Smartlead, Zapier, Make, and RB2B. An API, custom webhooks, and MCP server connect AI agents to campaign and lead workflows; Instantly and Smartlead integrations support multichannel campaigns. It runs on the web and as an extension, with API access. Pricing starts at $47/user/mo billed annually, and the 14-day trial needs no credit card. Trial seats are limited and it does not convert automatically.

Linki is an open-source AI SDR for B2B outreach that combines LinkedIn actions, cold email, and lead enrichment. Campaigns can mix LinkedIn steps with email, configure delays, and track state for each lead. In the managed edition, AI-written messages use a global voice, campaign angle, and step instructions; users can preview drafts and select models through OpenRouter. Linki classifies replies such as out-of-office messages, forwarded contacts, and clear next steps, and can trigger follow-ups. The project describes Apollo.io enrichment via API key, SMTP/IMAP email accounts, and Sales Navigator imports. The open-source edition runs with Docker or Node.js and can be self-hosted on a VPS or laptop; the project says data stays on the user's server. Managed plans include Launch at €20 a month, Momentum at €50 a month, and Summit at €90 a month. Managed plans include unlimited seats; Momentum and Summit also list a hosted MCP API for Claude and Cursor. Importing leads from a Sales Navigator list requires a LinkedIn Sales Navigator subscription. The maker does not promise zero risk of LinkedIn account bans from automation.
