LeadsRocket vs Linki

LeadsRocket is Windows software for automating LinkedIn outreach, from prospect selection to campaign reporting. It can send connection requests and messages, view profiles, and endorse skills, using randomized delays and warm-up. Campaigns can branch through connection, wait, message, condition, and follow-up steps. Lead funnels organize prospects by seniority, industry, and intent, and can sync lists from Sales Navigator searches. Users can import CSV contacts, remove duplicates, and export replies or qualified leads to a CRM. The product says it can send qualified leads through Zapier, native connectors, or webhooks. Its dashboard tracks conversions, reply rates, and SSI by campaign, list, and teammate. Listed account-protection controls include daily caps, randomized activity windows, queues, and alerts. LeadsRocket says it uses session-based access without requiring shared credentials and provides role-based permissions. A free plan is listed with a 60-day trial limit; Growth is listed at ₹1,199/mo, with a separate offer note of ₹399/mo. The homepage identifies SDRs and founders as users.

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.
