LinkedFusion vs Linki

LinkedFusion is a web-based LinkedIn automation service for lead generation and B2B sales outreach. It automates connection requests and follow-up messages, including scheduled follow-ups, and allows unlimited parallel sequences across time zones. Campaigns can run on chosen days and times, with tags that insert a prospect’s name, company, or location. Prospects can be selected through LinkedIn search or audiences uploaded from Google Sheets or CSV files. A smart inbox provides chat tagging, alongside email reporting and a graphical analytics dashboard. Native CRM integrations named by the service include Pipedrive, HubSpot, Salesforce, Insightly, and Zoho at specified tiers; Zapier can connect tools such as Greenhouse and Close.io. LinkedFusion says each LinkedIn account receives a dedicated local IP and that the service supports more than 190 countries. A free plan and free trial are listed. Annual pricing displayed per user per month is $46.95 for Professional, $67.95 for Grow, and $95.95 for Ultimate. Email Finder API keys are not included.

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.
