The best LinkedIn automation tool depends on what you need around LinkedIn. OXYGEN runs LinkedIn in the cloud next to email and WhatsApp in one sequence, with a CRM built in, at $34 a month per account on plans from $49. HeyReach suits agencies with many senders, Expandi and Dripify add an email step, Waalaxy is a low-cost start, and La Growth Machine and Skylead add email and lead data.

A LinkedIn automation tool sends LinkedIn actions for you: profile visits, invites, messages, InMail and likes, on a schedule and within daily limits, and stops when the person replies. Every tool below now runs in the cloud, so campaigns keep going when your laptop is off. They differ in five ways: what each sender costs, how they spread leads across several accounts, whether email steps live in the same sequence, where the emails come from, and whether replies land in a CRM. One thing they share: LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits bots and automated methods that send messages, add contacts or like posts, so every tool carries a risk to the account it runs on.

OXYGEN Agentic marketing and sales platformBest for: B2B GTM teams that want LinkedIn automated next to email and WhatsApp in one sequence, with a CRM built in and no seat per user.
OXYGEN runs LinkedIn in the cloud with no browser extension: profile visits, invites, messages, InMail, follows, likes and comments, at $34 a month per connected account. The same sequence holds email and WhatsApp steps, branches on connection state or lead data, and stops a lead when they reply on any channel. Select several senders and new leads rotate across them, within daily and weekly limits per account. Replies land in one inbox and on a built-in CRM with a deals pipeline, and your own AI agent can run it all through the MCP server or the CLI.
HeyReach LinkedIn automation for many sendersBest for: Agencies and teams running many LinkedIn senders, with client workspaces and white-label.
HeyReach runs LinkedIn from its web app, with a dedicated proxy for each account on Growth: invites with auto-withdrawal, messages, InMail, profile views, follows and likes. One campaign rotates leads across up to 100 senders, within limits of 40 invites a day and 200 a week per account. It sends no email: leads go to Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison for the email steps. Agencies get up to 30 client workspaces on one seat pool, and white-label on the Agency and Unlimited plans. A free MCP server, a CLI and an API come with every plan.
Expandi Cloud LinkedIn and email automationBest for: Teams that want cloud LinkedIn on a dedicated IP per account, and leads from profile and page visitors.
Expandi runs LinkedIn in the cloud on a dedicated IP per account: visits, follows, invites, messages, InMail, likes, endorsements and event invites. A seat is one LinkedIn account with every feature included, and shared campaigns split leads across several accounts without overlap, each with its own daily limit ranges and warm-up. Email steps send through a Gmail or SMTP mailbox you connect to each LinkedIn account. A Signals step adds profile visitors, company page visitors and post engagers to a campaign. Leads and activity push to HubSpot, Pipedrive and Salesforce, and its MCP server is in a private beta.
Waalaxy LinkedIn prospecting for small teamsBest for: Solo founders and small teams starting LinkedIn prospecting at a low price per seat.
Waalaxy runs in the cloud since it removed its browser extension in July 2026: invites, messages with voice notes, visits and follows, with no InMail. A seat is one LinkedIn account, priced in euros, with daily quotas per action, 200 invites a week and a fixed IP per user. Email steps come only on the Business plan, sent from the Gmail, Outlook or other mailboxes you connect, and its Email Finder tries 3 providers in turn on monthly credits. Each prospect has a record with notes and history, which exports to HubSpot and Pipedrive. An MCP server and an API come with Advanced and Business.
Dripify Cloud LinkedIn automationBest for: Individual reps who want simple cloud LinkedIn drips with an email step.
Dripify runs LinkedIn in the cloud with a dedicated IP per account: invites, messages, Sales Navigator InMail, profile views, endorsements, follows and likes. Each seat is one LinkedIn account with daily limits, such as 75 invites a day, and teams get lead deduplication across members. Email steps send from one connected Gmail or Outlook mailbox, up to 200 emails a day, and an Email Finder includes 100 credits a month, charged only when it finds and verifies an email. Leads sit in a lead CRM without deals. An MCP server and an Open API come with Pro and Advanced.
La Growth Machine LinkedIn and email sequences with enrichmentBest for: Teams that want LinkedIn and email in one sequence, with emails found by a built-in waterfall.
La Growth Machine runs LinkedIn in the cloud with a dedicated IP and 5G mobile proxies: visits, invites, messages, voice notes, likes and follows. Each sender is a paid identity, and Pro allows unlimited identities, though a campaign runs on one identity. Email steps send from your Gmail, Outlook or SMTP mailboxes, with rotation across 5 per identity on Pro. Emails come from a 9-provider waterfall on monthly credits, and a database of 27M+ companies is free to search. There is no CRM of its own; two-way HubSpot sync needs the Ultimate plan. A free MCP server has 50 tools.

Skylead Cloud LinkedIn and email sequencesBest for: LinkedIn-first teams that also want unlimited mailboxes with warm-up in the same branching sequence.
Skylead lists cloud-based LinkedIn automation on its pricing page: invites, messages, free and paid InMail and LinkedIn warm-up, in one sequence with email and if/else branching. Its All-in-one plan connects unlimited email accounts at no extra cost, with warm-up, rotation across accounts and up to 100,000 emails a month. It includes an email finder and verifier, and adds a B2B database launched in June 2026 and signals from LinkedIn post engagement. There is no CRM of its own; it syncs with HubSpot, Pipedrive and Salesforce, and offers an API and webhooks. An AI SDR that handles replies is a paid add-on.

A LinkedIn automation tool sends LinkedIn actions from your account on a schedule: profile visits, invites, messages, InMail, follows and likes. You set a sequence of steps and the daily limits, add a list of leads, and the tool works through it, stopping each lead when they reply. Some tools add email steps and lead data to the same sequence.
Yes. LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits bots and automated methods that send messages, add contacts or like posts, and LinkedIn can warn, limit or restrict an account at its discretion. No tool removes that risk. Daily and weekly limits lower it: HeyReach caps invites at 40 a day and 200 a week per account, Waalaxy at 200 a week, and Dripify at 75 a day. Warm up a new or quiet account with a few actions a day and add more over weeks. OXYGEN applies daily and weekly limits per account, which reduce the risk without removing it.
Most charge per LinkedIn account. In US dollars, HeyReach Growth and Dripify Pro cost $79 a sender a month, Expandi $99, Skylead $100 a seat and La Growth Machine Basic $70 an identity. Waalaxy prices in euros: Pro is €39 a seat a month. OXYGEN charges $34 a month per account on top of one workspace plan from $49, so two senders cost $73.70 a month.
HeyReach sends no email, so teams pair it with Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison: two tools, two bills, and an integration that pauses a lead in the email tool when they reply on LinkedIn. That pairing suits agencies with many senders. One tool puts both channels in one sequence: OXYGEN, Expandi, Dripify, La Growth Machine and Skylead send email steps themselves, and OXYGEN adds WhatsApp and stops a lead on a reply in any channel. OXYGEN can also push leads into HeyReach campaigns if you keep it.
A browser extension works only while your browser is open, so campaigns stop when your laptop does. A cloud tool runs on a server and keeps going. Every tool on this list now runs in the cloud, and Waalaxy removed its extension in July 2026. HeyReach, Expandi, Dripify and La Growth Machine give each account a dedicated proxy or IP; OXYGEN runs in the cloud with no browser extension and no proxy included.
None of the LinkedIn specialists here has a deals pipeline. Waalaxy keeps a record per prospect, Dripify a lead CRM without deals, and Expandi a contacts page. HeyReach, Expandi, Waalaxy, La Growth Machine and Skylead connect to HubSpot, Pipedrive or Salesforce in different ways. OXYGEN includes a CRM with companies, people, deals and a pipeline on every plan and syncs both ways with HubSpot; it has no Salesforce sync.
HeyReach offers a free MCP server, a CLI and an API; La Growth Machine a free MCP server with 50 tools; Waalaxy an MCP server on Advanced and Business; Dripify an MCP server on Pro and Advanced. Expandi's MCP server is in private beta, and Skylead lists an API but no MCP server. OXYGEN runs from the web app, its Copilot, or your own AI agent through the MCP server and the CLI, and the Copilot asks before it sends.
