The best Waalaxy alternative depends on why you are leaving, so the seven tools compared below are sorted by reason and priced at their real cost. For LinkedIn, email and X in one seat at Waalaxy Business's price, Meet Alfred. For LinkedIn and email drips with the inbox included, Dripify. For many accounts on one bill, HeyReach. For a dedicated IP and an automatic warm-up, Expandi. For email first, lemlist. For a team on LinkedIn and email with teammates free, La Growth Machine. To stop sending to searches and start from people who just showed interest, Sendable. Stay with Waalaxy if 800 invitations a month at $39 is what you need: no tool here costs less.
Full disclosure: I build Sendable, one of the seven tools below. It sits where the stated ranking rule puts it, seventh, not first. Every price and feature on this page comes from the vendor's own site, opened on November 3, 2026, and every Sendable feature was checked in its code.
My verdict: Waalaxy is cheap because it sells the pieces apart. The inbox costs €20 a month after 500 free conversations, and email starts on the $69 Business plan. Once you add both, Meet Alfred and Dripify cost less for a seat that sends LinkedIn and email from one sequence, inbox included. If you only send invitations to searches that already work, stay.
What Waalaxy does, and what it costs in November 2026
Waalaxy is a cloud tool for LinkedIn prospecting, built for people starting out: its pricing page says "75% of our users had never done LinkedIn outreach before" and that it is "Trusted by 200,000+ sales reps, founders, and teams worldwide". You import people from a LinkedIn, Sales Navigator or Recruiter Lite search, or from a CSV file, pick one of its prebuilt sequences, and it sends the invitations, messages and follow-ups from your account.
Waalaxy began as a Chrome extension. Its cloud page explains that "Google will no longer allow actions to be performed from an extension in 2024", so campaigns now run on its servers: "as soon as you turn off your computer or close Chrome, your actions continue to send to LinkedIn".
Its auto-import refills a campaign from people who visited your profile, commented on a post you pick, sent you an invitation, or appear in a Sales Navigator saved search or list. "The auto-import then runs every 12 hours", and importing the people who like a post "will be available soon", according to the guide updated on June 26, 2026. An AI assistant to find prospects and write messages is marked "(soon)" on its homepage.
Plans from its pricing page, checked on November 3, 2026, as shown to a visitor in the United States:
| Plan | Monthly billing | Billed yearly | Invitations a month | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $19 per user | $16 per user | 300, at most 11 a day | Unlimited campaigns, prebuilt sequences, automated follow-ups, CRM sync, CSV import and export, 25 email finder credits a month |
| Advanced | $39 per user | $32 per user | 800, at most 100 a day and 200 a week | API access, Make, Zapier and n8n modules, live chat support |
| Business | $69 per user | $55 per user | 800 | Cold email sequences, mixed campaigns, several email sender accounts, 500 email finder credits a month |
| Enterprise | On request | On request | Not published | For 5 seats or more: volume discounts and onboarding |
The daily numbers come from its help center on quotas, updated on July 8, 2026: on Pro, "Maximum of 11 per day, or 300/month"; on Advanced and Business, 100 invitations a day at most, "up to 200 per week". Support answers within 48 hours on Pro, 4 hours on Advanced, and with priority on Business.
Four details move the comparison:
- The inbox is a paid add-on on every plan. The FAQ answers: "It's an optional add-on for €20/month." The pricing page offers "500 free conversations, no time limit" before you pay.
- Prices differ by currency. In euros, the currency its page serves by default, the plans cost €19, €49 and €69 a month, with 20% off quarterly and up to 50% off yearly. Advanced costs €49 in euros against $39 in dollars.
- No free plan sends anything. The same help center says: "In Freemium, you cannot launch campaigns." The way to test is the 14-day free trial; the pricing page does not say whether it asks for a card.
- Teams are on every plan, on paper. The plan table ticks "Team workspace", "Prospect as a team" and "Duplicate prevention" on Pro, Advanced and Business, and the FAQ says you can "add multiple seats to any plan". Another FAQ answer says that for 5 users or more, Enterprise "adds team workspaces, analytics, volume discounts, and onboarding", so ask which applies before you buy.
A note on stale numbers. Several Waalaxy alternatives pages that rank for this search still quote prices it no longer shows, such as $43, $88 and $131 a month, €39 for Pro and €139 for Business, or a free plan with 80 invitations a month. The figures above are the ones on its own site on November 3, 2026.
Why do people look for a Waalaxy alternative?
Most users stay. Waalaxy scores 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 1,306 reviews, with 82% five stars and 3% one star, and the company replies to every negative review (read on November 3, 2026). The people who leave name five reasons, each documented by Waalaxy itself or by its reviewers.
- The inbox costs extra. Without the add-on, you answer replies in LinkedIn itself. A reviewer wrote in July 2025: "There was also inbox feature, which I didn't know was in trial for me." Every alternative below includes an inbox in its price, except La Growth Machine's Basic plan.
- Email starts at $69. Cold email and mixed campaigns are on Business only, while the pricing page says that "65% of Waalaxy users run LinkedIn + Email outreach as a team". A seller who needs both channels pays $69, then the inbox.
- Invitations are counted per month. Pro stops at 300 a month, about 11 a day; Advanced and Business at 800 a month and 200 a week. In fairness, LinkedIn limits invitations itself, so a new tool rarely sends much more each week without more risk; it changes how the cap is counted.
- Billing and renewals. The low ratings are mostly about money. "The platform advertises an upgrade at €49/month, but this only applies to annual subscriptions" (February 2026). "I canceled my subscription, yet they continued to charge me for seven months without my consent" (November 2024). A reviewer outside Europe added in November 2025 that "the only time they are online is in the middle of the night"; the FAQ lists chat support Monday to Friday.
- Account restrictions. Its help center is frank: "Unfortunately, Waalaxy does not comply with LinkedIn's Terms of Service." It has "no leverage to recover a banned account", though "The team can transfer your subscription to a new LinkedIn profile". A December 2025 review reports "apparently a shadow ban from LinkedIn due too many connection requests." Every tool on this page carries the same risk; the safety section covers what changes it.
One more reason is my reading rather than a review. It sends to the people your search returns. If invitations go unanswered because the list is cold, a different sender changes little; a different source of people might. That splits the alternatives below into two groups.
The 7 Waalaxy alternatives compared at a glance
Prices checked on November 3, 2026, for one account on monthly billing, in the vendor's currency. Sendable and La Growth Machine show euros: at the European Central Bank rate of November 3, 2026 (1 EUR = 1.1179 USD), €59 is about $66, €60 about $67 and €120 about $134.
| Tool | Price, one account | Inbox for replies | Email in the sequence | Published invitation limit | Where people come from | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waalaxy (reference) | $19 (Pro), $39 (Advanced), $69 (Business) | Add-on, €20 after 500 conversations | Business only | 300 a month on Pro, 800 on Advanced | Searches you import, or a CSV file | One person starting on a small budget |
| Meet Alfred | $59 (LinkedIn Only), $69 (Multi-Channel) | Included | Multi-Channel plan | Not on its pricing page | AI Lead Finder; Sales Navigator and CSV on Multi-Channel | LinkedIn, email and X in one seat |
| Dripify | $79 (Pro) | Included | Every plan | 75 a day | Your searches and lists; Evergreen leads on Advanced | LinkedIn and email drips, nothing to add |
| HeyReach | $79 per sender | Included, every account in one | Through Instantly or Smartlead | Not on its pricing page | Lists from Sales Navigator, Clay, RB2B or HubSpot | Many accounts on one bill |
| Expandi | $99 | Included | Every plan | Not published: "smart algorithms" | Your searches and lists | Account safety: dedicated IP and warm-up |
| lemlist | $109 (Multichannel) | Included, both channels | Yes, email first | Not on its pricing page | 650M+ lead database | Email-led teams adding LinkedIn |
| La Growth Machine | €60 (Basic), €120 (Pro) | From Pro | Every plan | Not on its pricing page | Your lists, a 27M+ company database, intent signals on Pro | A team on two channels, teammates free |
| Sendable | €59 (about $66) | Included, one account at a time | No | 30 a day by default with Premium, 20 without | 14 buying signals checked by AI, plus CSV | People who just showed interest |

Waalaxy wins the price column outright: its Pro and Advanced plans cost less than any alternative's cheapest plan. The two columns that decide most switches are the inbox and the email, where Waalaxy charges extra, and the source of people, where the first six tools work like Waalaxy and the last one does not.
What one LinkedIn seat really costs, inbox and email included
The sticker price compares badly, because each tool puts the inbox and the email on a different plan. This table gives the real cost of the same two setups everywhere, for one account on monthly billing, checked on November 3, 2026. Euro amounts use the ECB rate of the same day.
| Tool | LinkedIn only, replies in the tool's inbox | LinkedIn and email in one sequence, with an inbox |
|---|---|---|
| Waalaxy | About $41 (Pro + inbox), about $61 (Advanced + inbox) | About $91 (Business + inbox) |
| Meet Alfred | $59 (LinkedIn Only) | $69 (Multi-Channel) |
| Dripify | $79 (Pro) | $79 (Pro) |
| HeyReach | $79 (Growth) | $79, plus an Instantly or Smartlead subscription |
| Expandi | $99 (Business) | $99 (Business) |
| lemlist | $109 (Multichannel) | $109 (Multichannel) |
| La Growth Machine | €120 (Pro, about $134) | €120 (Pro, about $134) |
| Sendable | €59 (about $66) | Not available: no email |
How the Waalaxy line is built: the plan price in dollars plus the €20 inbox add-on, about $22. For your first 500 conversations the add-on is free, so a light user pays $19 or $39 flat. La Growth Machine's Basic plan, €60 (about $67), runs both channels but has no Multichannel Inbox, which starts on Pro.
Read it honestly. For LinkedIn only, Waalaxy stays the cheapest, even with its inbox: about $41 on Pro and $61 on Advanced, against $59 for Meet Alfred's LinkedIn Only plan. With email, it does not: Business plus its inbox costs about $91, more than Meet Alfred Multi-Channel ($69) and Dripify Pro ($79), and less than Expandi ($99) or lemlist ($109).
On yearly billing the order of the email column holds, if the inbox add-on stays at €20 a month. Waalaxy drops to $16, $32 and $55 a month in dollars, Dripify Pro to $59, Meet Alfred Multi-Channel to $49, Expandi to $79, and Sendable bills €590 a year per account, about $55 a month.
How I picked and ranked these tools
Three rules decided who is on the list:
- It sends invitations and messages from your own LinkedIn account, from the vendor's cloud, as Waalaxy does. That leaves out desktop software and browser extensions.
- Its price is public on its own site, so every number above can be checked.
- It is named by at least three of the seven pages I read that rank for "waalaxy alternative" on November 3, 2026 (Botdog, Kanbox, Emelia, Meet Alfred, Tooljunction, Stork and Derrick), or it is Sendable, which I build.
Expandi is named by six of those pages, Dripify and lemlist by five, La Growth Machine by four, HeyReach and Meet Alfred by three. PhantomBuster, Linked Helper and Octopus CRM appear on two each, as a data extraction toolkit, desktop software and a browser extension. Kanbox, Botdog, Emelia and Derrick each list themselves first on their own page and appear on no other, so they are not compared here.
The order is mechanical. First the six tools that do Waalaxy's job, sending to people from your searches, your lists or their own database. They are ordered by the monthly price of one account on their cheapest plan that includes an inbox for replies, since that is what Waalaxy charges extra for; at the same price, the tool with email in the sequence comes first. Then Sendable, which changes where the people come from. That puts Sendable seventh.
What I did not test: acceptance rates, reply rates and account safety across tools. Nobody can measure those fairly from outside, and no vendor publishes comparable numbers.
The same method runs on the eight other alternatives pages, gathered in the LinkedIn automation alternatives hub with a one-line verdict for each tool.
1. Meet Alfred
Meet Alfred runs LinkedIn, email and X campaigns from the cloud, with no browser extension to install, and says it is "Trusted by 175,000+ registered users from 92 countries". Every plan includes the Smart LinkedIn Inbox with templates and reply management, an AI Lead Finder and unlimited actions in a sequence. Multi-Channel adds email, Sales Navigator support, InMail automation, unlimited campaigns, campaigns from groups, events, posts, newsletters and company pages, CSV import, post scheduling, and Zapier and webhook integrations. Agency adds team workspaces, a collaborative inbox, native HubSpot and Salesforce, and white label.
Price (checked November 3, 2026): LinkedIn Only at $59 per seat a month, Multi-Channel at $69, Agency at $79 per seat from 3 seats ($237 a month), on monthly billing; $39, $49 and $59 billed annually. Unlimited is a quote. The comparison table lower on the same page still lists $29, $49 and $39 billed annually; the numbers above are the plan cards. Its homepage offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card.
Against Waalaxy: Multi-Channel costs the same $69 as Waalaxy Business and includes the inbox, so it saves about $22 a month against Business plus the inbox. LinkedIn Only at $59 costs about what Advanced plus the inbox does, without Sales Navigator support or CSV import.
Best for: one person who wants three channels from one seat for $69.
Limits: no published invitation limits, no Sales Navigator or CSV import on LinkedIn Only, and two sets of annual prices on the same page.
2. Dripify
Dripify is a cloud sequencer for LinkedIn and email drips. Every plan runs both kinds of steps in one sequence, with a dedicated inbox, HubSpot integration, an open API, an MCP server and 100 email finder credits a month. Its daily quotas, the same on Pro and Advanced: 75 connection requests, 100+ messages, 30 Sales Navigator InMails and 200+ profile views. Advanced adds team management, advanced protection, lead tagging, step analytics, A/B testing and Evergreen leads.
Price (checked November 3, 2026): Pro at $79 per user a month and Advanced at $99, or $59 and $79 billed annually. Enterprise on request. The 7-day trial needs no credit card, runs on Advanced features, and charges nothing automatically when it ends.
Against Waalaxy: $79 with the inbox and email included, against about $91 for Business plus its inbox. Dripify counts invitations per day where Waalaxy counts them per month.
Best for: a seller who wants both channels in one sequence, inbox included, with nothing to add.
Limits: no plan below $79, and team management starts on Advanced. My Dripify alternatives page covers it in more depth.
3. HeyReach
HeyReach is built for many accounts on one bill. You pay per sender, sending rotates between accounts, workspaces keep each client's senders, leads and campaigns apart, and a Unified Inbox lets you "Manage all LinkedIn messages in one centralized inbox". It sends no email itself: "Use our native integrations with Instantly and Smartlead to send multichannel campaigns." People come from lists you import: "Import relevant LinkedIn contacts from Sales Navigator, Clay, RB2B, HubSpot, or any other tool." API, webhooks and an MCP server are on every plan.
Price (checked November 3, 2026): Growth at $79 per sender a month ($72 quarterly, $64 yearly), with a dedicated residential proxy per sender according to its FAQ. Agency at $999 a month for 25 senders, with a 50-sender option and white label. Unlimited at $2,999 for up to 300 senders. The FAQ describes a 14-day trial with 3 LinkedIn accounts and no card.
Against Waalaxy: one sender costs $40 more than Waalaxy Advanced, but HeyReach reads every account's replies in one inbox, and at 25 senders the Agency plan works out to about $40 each. Waalaxy's volume discounts start with an Enterprise quote.
Best for: agencies and teams running 10 accounts or more on lists they build elsewhere.
Limits: no native email, no lead finding of its own, and $79 for a single account. More on the HeyReach alternatives page.
4. Expandi
Expandi sells one public plan built around account safety. Each account gets a "Dedicated country-based IP-address" and a "Profile Auto Warm-up", with "Smart algorithms for limit ranges" instead of fixed quotas. Sequences mix connection requests, messages and email follow-ups "in just one sequence", with unlimited campaigns. Replies land in its Global Smart Inbox, which the homepage describes as a way to "Manage replies in one place with labels, tags & notes".
Price (checked November 3, 2026): Business at $99 per seat a month, or $79 on annual billing. Agency, from 10 seats with roles, permissions and white label, is a quote. The 7-day free trial gives access to every feature; you are charged after it unless you cancel first.
Against Waalaxy: $99 against about $91 for Business plus its inbox. The $8 difference buys a dedicated IP and an automatic warm-up, which Waalaxy's pricing page does not mention.
Best for: one to five accounts, when the restriction risk is why you are leaving.
Limits: no lighter plan, no published invitation numbers, and agency pricing only after a call. Seven Expandi alternatives are scored on the criteria Expandi sells on.
5. lemlist
lemlist started with cold email and added LinkedIn, which needs the Multichannel plan. It adds "5 senders per user", SMS, a built-in call dialer and WhatsApp as an add-on, on top of the Email plan's 650M+ lead database, email and phone finder, warm-up and AI agents. Its Unified Inbox "integrates multichannel communication (email and LinkedIn) into one streamlined interface".
Price (checked November 3, 2026): Email at $69 a month for unlimited users, without LinkedIn. Multichannel at $109 per user a month, or $87 billed yearly. Enterprise on request. The 14-day free trial includes the Multichannel features except in-app calls.
Against Waalaxy: about $18 more than Business plus its inbox, for an email platform with LinkedIn inside, not the reverse.
Best for: teams whose main channel is email and who want LinkedIn steps in the same sequence.
Limits: priced per user, LinkedIn only on the $109 plan, and no published invitation limits.
6. La Growth Machine
La Growth Machine runs LinkedIn and email sequences with voice messages, AI messages and its database of 27M+ companies on every plan. It bills per identity, one sender, and teammates join free: 3 on Basic, 25 on Pro, unlimited on Ultimate. Pro adds the Multichannel Inbox, calls, A/B testing, intent signals, an MCP server, and API, Clay, Zapier, Make and n8n access. Ultimate adds HubSpot and Pipedrive sync.
Price (checked November 3, 2026): per identity a month, Basic €60 (up to 3 identities and 3 active campaigns), Pro €120 and Ultimate €180, or €50, €100 and €150 billed yearly; about $67, $134 and $201 at the ECB rate. 14 days free, no credit card.
Against Waalaxy: Basic at about $67 costs about the same as Waalaxy Business and also runs both channels in one sequence, without an inbox. The plan with the inbox costs about twice as much.
Best for: a team that sells on both channels together and wants teammates to join without paying a seat.
Limits: the inbox and the intent signals start on Pro at €120, Basic stops at 3 identities and 3 active campaigns, and CRM sync is an add-on below Ultimate. Eight La Growth Machine alternatives are compared by channel.
7. Sendable
From here, the tool changes where the people come from rather than how they are contacted. That is a bigger switch than changing senders, and it only makes sense if your lists were the problem.
This is the product I build. Read this entry with that in mind, and judge it with a trial rather than on my word.
Sendable, signal-based LinkedIn outreach starts from what people do on LinkedIn instead of a search you run. It has 14 LinkedIn signals plus CSV import: people engaging with the posts of company pages you pick, competitors included, with the posts of influencers you pick or with posts you pick; people posting about your keywords (keyword tracker); companies hiring for a role (job post tracker); job changes; people active on LinkedIn; your profile viewers (with LinkedIn Premium); poll voters; event attendees; newsletter subscribers; company page followers; profile followers; 1st degree connections and People you may know. Waalaxy's auto-import overlaps on two of them, profile visitors and post commenters.
Each person a signal finds is checked by an AI against the ideal customer you describe, with a one-sentence reason. Only the people who match enter your campaign and spend a credit; each account includes 500 credits a month, and rejected people and CSV files imported without criteria cost nothing.
The sequence is yours, built in a visual campaign builder: invitation with or without a note, profile visit, like the last post, message with attachments or voice clips, withdraw the invitation, waits, a condition on whether the invitation was accepted within a number of days, and conditions on any lead field. Each message step can A/B test up to 10 variants, and a launched step's text stays editable for the messages not sent yet.
The inbox is included. It syncs each account's classic, Sales Navigator and Recruiter conversations, one account at a time, files the replies that show interest under Interested with AI, and stops a lead's sequences when they reply. Default limits are 30 invitations and 30 new conversations a day per account with Premium or Sales Navigator, 20 without, and 20 profile visits, sent Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 18:00 unless you change the schedule. Leads sync to Attio or HubSpot (Pipedrive is in beta), alerts go to Slack, and an MCP connector lets an AI assistant such as Claude work in your account.
You connect an account with Sendable's Chrome extension, which "Uses the account open in this browser. No password.", or with its email and password. The campaigns then run on Sendable's servers, with the browser closed.
Price (checked November 3, 2026): €59 a month per connected LinkedIn account (about $66), or €590 a year, with no tiers and no fee per teammate: "Inviting is free: only LinkedIn accounts use seats", the invite dialog says. The 7-day trial needs a card and charges nothing before it ends; it includes 20 credits, one account and 3 signals. Details on the pricing page.
Against Waalaxy: €59 costs more than Pro or Advanced, about $66 against $39 for Advanced, or about $61 with its inbox, and a little less than Business at $69. The difference pays for the people: signals and the AI check replace the search you run before each campaign. It does not pay for email, or for more invitations: Advanced allows up to 200 a week, while Sendable's defaults send 150 on a five-day week. The customer case studies show what teams built with it.
Best for: founders and small teams who sell on LinkedIn, whose campaigns sent fine but went to people who did not answer.
Limits: stated in full in where Sendable falls short, just below.
