Across 14 criteria: OXYGEN ahead on 10 (lead data, deliverability, LinkedIn, extra channels, sequences, CRM, CRM syncs, AI, price, content publishing), Expandi ahead on 2 (security, LinkedIn at scale), even on 2. How we compared

Lead data and signals: Oxygen vs Expandi

Where does Expandi get its lead data, and how does Oxygen's compare?

It does not find contact data itself. Expandi's email step reaches leads whose address is public on LinkedIn or was imported by CSV, and its own comparison lists the email finder as via integrations. Oxygen's waterfalls try 17 email and 13 phone providers on plan credits and charge only when one finds the value.

Does Expandi track buying signals, and which does Oxygen capture?

Both do, and both can start outreach. Expandi's Signals step adds profile visitors, company page visitors and post engagers to a campaign about every 24 hours; visits need LinkedIn Premium. Oxygen reads profile viewers, new followers and post reactions at no extra cost and adds hiring, funding, news and job-change searches on credits. See signals.

Email, LinkedIn and more channels: Oxygen vs Expandi

How does Expandi protect deliverability, and what does Oxygen include?

It sends email, but through a Gmail or SMTP mailbox you connect to each LinkedIn account, and it pauses a lead who replies. Its pages show no email warm-up, inbox buying, placement tests, rotation or bounce pause. Oxygen sells Google and Microsoft inboxes at $4 a month with warm-up and runs all six. See mailboxes.

Does Expandi automate LinkedIn, and what does a sender cost?

Yes, it is Expandi's core: visits, follows, invites, messages, InMail, likes, endorsements and event invites, in the cloud with a dedicated IP per account, at $99 a seat a month. Oxygen runs visits, invites, messages, InMail, follows, likes and comments in the cloud at $34 an account, so 2 senders cost $73.70 a month against $198.

Can Expandi send WhatsApp or SMS, or place calls, in a sequence?

No. An Expandi campaign holds LinkedIn actions, email steps and webhooks, with no calls, SMS or WhatsApp. Oxygen adds WhatsApp steps at $34 a number, and calls from a web softphone in beta, which this comparison does not count.

Can one Expandi sequence mix channels, and where do replies land?

One Expandi flow mixes LinkedIn and email with 11 conditions, A/B tests and a pause on reply; its Global Inbox shows emails view only, so you answer them in your mailbox. Oxygen adds WhatsApp to the same sequence and answers email and LinkedIn from one inbox. See how sequences work.

Can Expandi run many LinkedIn senders, and what does each cost at volume?

Yes, ahead of Oxygen. Expandi's shared campaigns split leads across many accounts without overlap, each account gets daily limit ranges, warm-up and its own IP, and the Agency plan lowers the per-seat price from 10 seats. Oxygen rotates senders with limits per account too, at $34 an account at any volume, with no proxy included.

Can Expandi schedule LinkedIn posts?

Not from the app. Expandi's API can schedule a post, and its Content feed tracks other people's posts by keyword so you can react, comment or build a lead list, with no approvals or post analytics found. Oxygen schedules LinkedIn and X posts, asks for approval before each one and reads their analytics. See how publishing works.

CRM and integrations: Oxygen vs Expandi

Does Expandi have a CRM, and how does Oxygen's compare?

No. Expandi keeps a contacts page of your LinkedIn network and a timeline of lead activity in each chat, with no deals, pipeline or custom objects; leads go to HubSpot, Pipedrive or Salesforce. Oxygen's CRM has companies, deals on a pipeline, objects you define and every reply on the timeline, free on every plan.

Which CRMs does Expandi sync with, and which does Oxygen?

Expandi pushes leads and activity into HubSpot, Pipedrive and Salesforce with no sync back found, so none counts as two-way. Oxygen syncs both ways with HubSpot, pushes to Attio and imports from Pipedrive; it has no Salesforce sync, which Expandi pushes to. See Oxygen's integrations.

Can an agency run its clients in Expandi?

Yes, and they tie. Expandi groups each client as a company inside a workspace on one subscription, gives clients logins with 100+ permission settings, and offers white-label on the Agency plan. Oxygen gives each client a workspace billed from one plan with a monthly credit cap per client; its client logins are in beta.

Workflows and AI: Oxygen vs Expandi

What can AI do in Expandi, and can coding agents drive it?

Inside the app, Expandi's AI writes campaign messages and replies on daily credits and tags reply sentiment, and an API runs on keys. Its MCP server is in private beta with a waitlist, so this row does not count it. Oxygen adds a Copilot, AI columns over your rows, a research agent that cites sources, and an MCP server and CLI.

Pricing and security: Oxygen vs Expandi

How does Expandi pricing compare with Oxygen for a small team?

Oxygen costs less in both setups Expandi can run, and Expandi cannot run the email-only setup by itself. Expandi is $99 a seat a month, with mailboxes and lead data from elsewhere. Oxygen is one plan per workspace paid in credits, with inboxes, data and the CRM included. See Oxygen pricing.

Is Expandi SOC 2 compliant, and is Oxygen?

Neither has SOC 2, ISO 27001 or SSO on its pages. Expandi publishes a DPA that lists its subprocessors and runs a public status page, which Oxygen does not. Oxygen publishes a DPA and a subprocessor list. Expandi is ahead on this row by the status page.

Oxygen vs Expandi FAQ

Is Oxygen cheaper than Expandi?

Yes, in both setups Expandi can run: one person on email and LinkedIn costs $49 a month on Oxygen against $99 on Expandi Business, and 3 people cost $118.50 against $297. Expandi's mailboxes and lead data come from other tools.

Does Expandi find email addresses?

Not by itself. Expandi's email step reaches leads whose address is public on LinkedIn or was imported by CSV, and its own comparison lists the email finder as via integrations. Oxygen runs email and phone waterfalls across 17 and 13 providers and charges only when one finds the value.

Can Expandi send cold email without LinkedIn?

Not on its own. Email is a step in a LinkedIn account's campaign, the mailbox connects under that account's settings, and every lead needs a LinkedIn profile URL. Oxygen runs email-only sequences from $49 a month, with inboxes at $4 each including warm-up.

Does Expandi charge per LinkedIn account?

Yes. Expandi prices per seat, and one seat connects to one LinkedIn account: $99 a month, or $79 a month billed yearly, with every feature included. Larger teams and white-label go through a custom Agency price from 10 seats. Oxygen charges $34 a month per account, with email, data and the CRM in the same plan.

Does Expandi have an MCP server or an API?

Both, with a caveat: Expandi's MCP server is in private beta with a waitlist, and its help center documents API keys and an Open-API reference. Oxygen ships an MCP server, a CLI and an API to every workspace, plus a Copilot in the app.

Can I move from Expandi without losing my campaigns?

Your LinkedIn accounts, mailboxes and lead lists move; campaigns are rebuilt as Oxygen sequences. Export lists and contacts from Expandi as CSV, import them into a table, reconnect each LinkedIn account in Oxygen, and move a list only after its Expandi campaign has finished, so nobody gets the same invite twice.

When is Expandi the better choice?

When you run many LinkedIn accounts and want shared campaigns, a dedicated IP per account and a custom per-seat price, or you are an agency that wants white-label, and you already have mailboxes and lead data. On most other rows of this comparison, from data and email to the CRM and price, Oxygen leads.
