Are you looking for the best Waalaxy alternatives that run outreach from the cloud, without a monthly invitation allowance deciding how far your campaigns get?

Ten of them are below.

Each entry covers who the tool is built for and what running it costs, so you can shortlist without opening ten pricing pages.

TL;DR

  • For sales teams, agencies, and recruiters, Meet Alfred is the strongest Waalaxy alternative in 2026: campaigns send from the cloud on an IP dedicated to each account, the shared inbox is in the entry plan at $29 a seat, and LinkedIn, email, and X outreach draw on one subscription.
  • Teams that scale by connecting more LinkedIn profiles should price out HeyReach and Expandi, one charging a flat fee across every connected sender and the other putting a regional IP and a warm-up ramp behind each profile.
  • At the bottom of the price range, Octopus CRM starts at $6.99 a month and Dux-Soup under €10 on annual billing, with Dripify a step above at $39.
  • For outreach reaching past LinkedIn and email, Lemlist and Reply.io add calling, SMS, and WhatsApp, while La Growth Machine covers calls and X and bills by sending profile.

#1: Meet Alfred

Meet Alfred is the best alternative to Waalaxy in 2026 for sales teams, agencies, and recruiters whose outreach has outgrown a browser session.

Our platform keeps the whole motion together: prospect discovery, sequences running across LinkedIn, email, and X, one inbox holding every reply your team receives, and whitelabeling all belong to the same subscription.

Full disclosure: Meet Alfred is our own solution, so I'll be specific about what it does differently from Waalaxy, and I'll point out where Waalaxy is the better buy.

Teams at Reuters, Samsung, Oracle, Salesforce, and HSBC run outreach on the platform, and these are the parts they use most:

How the setup runs, from connected profile to first reply

Four stages cover how Meet Alfred works when you get started:

Step 1: Connect the profile and cap the daily volume

The first thing sign-up asks for is a LinkedIn profile, and the app handles two-factor authentication on the way through.

A daily ceiling on connection requests is next, and it can reach 100 a day while staying inside safe parameters.

The schedule goes in beside it as an allowed window plus a time zone, which keeps a message from firing at 4 AM in your prospect's market.

Auto-withdrawal then clears pending invitations on its own, with withdrawal analytics tracking that activity over time.

➡️ Underneath that ceiling, each action is spaced by a randomized delay, and the sending runs on our cloud from an IP dedicated to that account, so there's no tab to keep open and no proxy to shop for.

Step 2: Decide who gets contacted

A campaign needs an audience, and there are two ways to get one:

  • One is activity already visible on LinkedIn, and from Pro upward that covers a group you share with the prospect, an event's attendee list, a newsletter's subscriber roll, or the reactions sitting under a post.
  • The other is search, either LinkedIn's own or a Sales Navigator list on Pro and above, with filters covering industry, job title, location, language, and keywords.

Whichever route you take, sample results appear before anything runs, beside a dial that sets how many of those profiles the campaign takes.

The AI Lead Finder works on its own screen.

You describe the buyer in natural language (for example, "heads of talent at 50-200 person software companies in Berlin"), then filter what comes back and import the ones you want into a campaign.

Result ceilings go by plan: 1,000 on Basic, 5,000 on Pro, and 10,000 on Team.

That saved list then shows up as a source option once campaign setup starts.

Step 3: Order the actions, then launch

A sequence is a run of actions in a fixed order, each one holding for a defined interval before the next fires.

You can build one from nothing, or open a pre-built sequence template and rewrite the copy inside it.

For example, a campaign might view a prospect's profile on day one, follow them the next day, send a connection request with a personalized note the day after that, then follow up with a message if nothing has come back.

On our Pro plan, email, X, and InMail steps drop into that same sequence, so a single workflow reaches the prospect wherever they're likely to reply.

A sequence that produces results can be saved and handed to the rest of the team, so nobody rebuilds a winning play from nothing.

Step 4: Handle the replies at team scale

Somewhere past the first few hundred replies, LinkedIn's own inbox stops being workable, and adding a second and third rep to the same list makes it harder again.

This is why Meet Alfred’s Smart Inbox gathers the team's LinkedIn, InMail, and Sales Navigator conversations into one view, and each thread carries the contact's role, employer, and location next to it.

The campaign for that contact pauses as soon as they reply, so nobody gets an automated follow-up after they've already answered.

Team stats run alongside it, breaking invites sent, invites accepted, profile views, messages, and replies down by member.

Sending from the cloud, on an IP of its own

Meet Alfred has run on AWS since 2017, and there's no browser extension or desktop dependency anywhere in the setup.

A campaign carries on while you're offline, which is the practical difference between outreach that runs and outreach that waits for somebody to open a laptop.

Each connected account also gets a dedicated IP address, which supports LinkedIn message deliverability and gives the account room to scale.

Two layers then apply account-wide:

  • Behaviour: the daily cap, the randomized pacing, and the working-hours window operate as one control, which is how volume reaches as high as 100 connection requests a day and stays inside safe parameters.
  • Platform security: end-to-end encryption, DDoS protection, and GDPR and CCPA compliance, all handled on our side and none of it configured campaign by campaign.

Three outreach channels and social posting on one subscription

Email and X are sequence steps here, with no second product or credit balance behind them.

The mailbox is your own, connected over SMTP or IMAP, so Gmail, G Suite, and Outlook all work, as does any other provider on those protocols.

Your sending volume then follows what that provider permits, with no message credits metered.

A connection request left unanswered for five days can be followed by an email on day five, and nothing gets exported between the two.

In practice, that covers:

  • A single workflow carrying one prospect between LinkedIn, email, and X, with no handoff in the middle.
  • Up to 1,000 X direct messages a day, sent on their own or slotted in beside the LinkedIn touches.
  • Social posts scheduled to LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X from one dashboard, with timing recommendations and performance analytics included.
  • A single reporting view for opens, clicks, replies, connections, and conversions, which makes the channel producing your pipeline easy to spot.

How is Meet Alfred different from Waalaxy?

Waalaxy is good at the job it set out to do.

99 ready-made sequences mean a first campaign never starts from an empty builder, the email finder publishes a match rate above 61% with triple verification behind it, and its triggers collect the people reacting to posts and the ones engaging with rival accounts, with no list built by hand.

Duplicate prevention keeps two reps off the same thread, too.

For a first-timer who wants outreach going out this afternoon, that's a sensible place to begin.

The two platforms compare like this:

Dimension Waalaxy Meet Alfred
Where campaigns run A Chrome extension working over your LinkedIn session Cloud on AWS since 2017, with no extension, no desktop session, and a dedicated IP for each connected account
Volume model A monthly invitation allowance: 300 on Pro, 800 on Advanced and Business Daily limits you set, up to 100 connection requests a day inside safe parameters, with randomized pacing and working hours
Outreach channels LinkedIn and email, with cold email sequences on the Business tier LinkedIn, email, X, and InMail as steps in one sequence, multi-channel opening up on Pro
Social posting Not published as part of the platform Scheduled posts to LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X, with best-time recommendations and social analytics
Email sending Cold email on Business at €69, with email finder credits at 25 a month on Pro and Advanced and 500 on Business Your own mailbox over SMTP or IMAP, so volume follows your provider and no message credits are metered
Conversation management The LinkedIn Inbox is a paid add-on on all three tiers, with 500 conversations free to try it Smart Inbox included from Basic at $29, holding LinkedIn, InMail, and Sales Navigator threads for every rep
Team features Roles, permissions, team dashboards, shared prospect lists, duplicate prevention, and multi-account import Team inbox, groups by client or campaign, role-based permissions, team analytics, and impersonation, letting a manager work any connected account without credentials changing hands
Client branding No white label published White label on Team from five seats: your logo, your colors, a custom domain, and notifications from your own address
Integrations HubSpot and Pipedrive natively, with more than 2,000 apps through Make, Zapier, and n8n Salesforce and HubSpot sync, Zapier reaching more than 5,000 apps, and webhooks with a flexible API
Trial 14 days, no card required 7 days with full feature access, no card required

How much that table matters depends on the volume you're planning to run.

Waalaxy's shape fits a rep sending a few hundred invitations a month from their own browser, which is a real and common use case.

Four things change once the volume climbs and more than one person is sending:

  • Execution stops depending on your machine, because cloud sending keeps a campaign moving overnight and through a closed laptop, on an IP dedicated to that account.
  • Capacity tracks the schedule you set, at up to 100 connection requests a day, paced randomly inside your working hours.
  • The reply layer is part of the plan, with the Smart Inbox on Basic at $29, carrying tags, notes, attachments, and reply templates the whole team shares.
  • The agency layer has a published price, since white label, a custom domain, and your own notification address open on Team at five seats and $39 a user, with volume discounts, a dedicated account manager, migration help, and priority support at ten.

➡️ Our support also answers around the clock, with a first reply averaging under three minutes.

Pricing

A 7-day trial opens the full feature set without a credit card.

Paid plans then run on three tiers, and the rate drops 50% on annual billing or 20% on quarterly:

  • Basic, from $29/user/month billed annually: LinkedIn automation in the cloud with three campaigns live at a time, Lead Finder capped at 1,000 results, the advanced LinkedIn CRM, the Smart Inbox, message templates, automated greetings, tags, notes, and data export.
  • Pro, from $49/user/month billed annually: unlimited campaigns, 5,000 Lead Finder results, Sales Navigator support, InMail automation, multi-channel sequences across LinkedIn, email, and X, group, event, and post campaigns, CSV campaigns, social post scheduling, Zapier and webhooks, and custom snippets.
  • Team, from $39/user/month billed annually: 10,000 Lead Finder results, team inbox management, groups, and the advanced team settings, with white label from five seats, then volume discounts, a dedicated account manager, migration help, and priority support from ten.

Pros & Cons

✅ Campaigns send from the cloud on a dedicated IP for each account, with nothing installed locally.

✅ Three outreach channels and four social networks on one subscription, with no proxies to buy separately.

✅ The Smart Inbox is included at the entry price, and impersonation lets a manager work any client account without a shared password.

✅ White label with your logo, your colors, a custom domain, and notifications from your own address, all at five seats on Team.

❌ There's no free tier, just the seven-day trial.

#2: Expandi

Best for: Sales teams and agencies that want if-then rules picking each next touch, with account protection handled at the infrastructure level.

Similar to: HeyReach, Dripify.

Expandi runs its campaigns from the cloud.

Smart Sequences handle the decision-making: they read the last thing a prospect did, then pick the next touch off that.

Features

  • Smart Sequences: An accept, a reply, a profile visit, an email open, or a liked post each send that lead down a different branch. Two prospects in the same campaign can finish it having received nothing in common.
  • Safety at the infrastructure layer: Cloud sending. A regional IP per connected profile. A warm-up ramp on anything new. Randomized daily ranges covering every action type.
  • A softer opening: Profile views and post interactions can be queued ahead of the first message. By the time the invite lands, the prospect has already seen the name.
  • Personalization through partners: Hyperise supplies dynamic images and GIFs. Sendspark covers personalized video. Both are charged on top of the plan.

Pricing

Expandi publishes one plan and quotes agencies directly:

  • Business, $79 per month when you pay annually: the protection layer in full, campaigns without limit, multichannel outreach carrying email follow-ups, the builder itself, scheduling, blacklisting, campaign prioritization, and statistics at step level.
  • Agency, quoted from ten seats up: roles and permissions, every campaign managed from one place, reporting built for clients, shared templates, your own customer success manager, and the platform wearing your brand.
  • Trial: seven days, free to sign up for.

Pros & Cons

✅ A regional IP and an automatic warm-up on every profile you connect.

✅ The branching keys off prospect behaviour, so the next action follows an accept or a reply and not the clock.

✅ Campaign prioritization sends the day's available limits to whichever campaign is performing.

❌ Dynamic imagery and video are charged separately.

❌ One published tier, at $79 a seat.

#3: Dripify

Best for: Small teams and independent sellers who want LinkedIn and email steps on one panel, with numbers on every action.

Similar to: We-Connect, Dux-Soup.

A Dripify campaign is assembled on one panel.

You drag actions, wait times, and conditions into position, and templates exist for the familiar plays.

Features

  • The builder: Ten or more LinkedIn and email actions chain together with a wait or a branching rule between each pair, and ready-made flows cover the common lead generation plays.
  • Personalization variables: Over 20 fields, an icebreaker among them. Any lead whose profile lacks the detail you referenced gets a fallback phrase in its place.
  • Step analytics on the Advanced tier: Invites accepted and replies received, reported action by action.
  • Lead data: Monthly email finder credits on every paid plan. A verifier alongside them. Enrichment returning about 30 live data points per lead.

Pricing

Three tiers are published per user, with a custom enterprise plan above them:

  • Basic, $39 per user per month billed annually or $59 monthly: one drip campaign, daily quotas held back, sequence templates, reporting and advanced analytics, LinkedIn protection built in, and live support around the clock.
  • Pro, $59 annually or $79 monthly: the campaign limit lifts, quotas open up, and a dedicated inbox, CSV export, and webhook integration join the plan.
  • Advanced, $79 annually or $99 monthly: split testing, evergreen leads, step analytics, lead tagging, advanced LinkedIn protection, and multi-team management.
  • Enterprise, custom: onboarding handled personally, a named technical contact, and a customer success manager.

Pros & Cons

✅ Email sequences are included at the entry price, not reserved for a higher tier.

✅ Nine lead sources, and any LinkedIn post can keep feeding in new prospects as they engage with it.

✅ The builder reads clearly for anyone whose first automated campaign this is.

❌ Basic runs a single campaign.

❌ Team management waits for Advanced.

#4: HeyReach

Best for: Agencies that add LinkedIn profiles faster than people, and want the bill to follow the profiles.

Similar to: Expandi, Reply.io.

The invoice at HeyReach counts connected LinkedIn senders.

Seats cost nothing, which is how an agency ends up with assistants, colleagues, and clients all in one workspace.

Features

  • Volume spread over the pool: One campaign's sending is shared out among the connected profiles. Output rises with however many accounts you can keep staffed.
  • Replies in one place: Messages from all connected accounts land in a shared view, where a manager can answer for a colleague and even record an audio reply, with LinkedIn itself never opened.
  • Lists from any source: Sales Navigator, Clay, RB2B, HubSpot, or anything else able to push a record across, with an If Connected condition sorting existing connections away from cold ones.
  • Built to be automated: An API, webhooks, a command line interface, an MCP server. An AI assistant can start campaigns and pull reporting conversationally.

Pricing

The sender count sets the price, and quarterly billing takes off 10%, with annual taking 20%:

  • Growth, $79 a month: one connected sender, with a dedicated residential proxy in the price.
  • Agency, $999 a month: 25 senders and white label branding, on proxies you're expected to bring.
  • Unlimited, $2,999 a month: senders without a cap, across as many workspaces as you want, again on proxies you provide.
  • Done for you, custom: HeyReach's own team runs the campaigns.
  • Trial: 14 days on Growth covering three LinkedIn accounts with no card, and the larger two plans open a 30-day trial if you ask.

A discounted early-stage program covers companies below $250,000 ARR with fewer than five people.

Pros & Cons

✅ Each additional account costs less per profile, which is the maths that keeps agencies on it.

✅ The go-to-market tooling runs deeper than most, with Clay, n8n, and a HubSpot sync that HubSpot verified on its own side.

A G2 review mentions that they wish HeyReach had outbound email too.

❌ Proxies are yours to manage on Agency and Unlimited, though the team will help you.

#5: Dux-Soup

Best for: Solo sellers and small teams on the tightest budget, choosing between the browser and a hosted edition.

Similar to: Octopus CRM, Dripify.

Three products share the Dux-Soup name, and the difference between them is where a campaign executes.

Two run as an extension on your own account, whether that's LinkedIn, Recruiter, or Sales Navigator.

The third is hosted, and it carries on once your machine is off.

Features

  • Drip campaigns up to 12 actions: Connections, messages, follows, endorsements, InMails, profile visits, and post likes are ordered by drag and drop, each with its own delay.
  • Reply detection: The moment somebody answers, they leave the automated flow, so no follow-up lands on top of a live conversation.
  • AI personalization: Each message is written against the prospect's own profile, and Turbo adds an AI response assistant on top.
  • Dux-Dash: Campaign statistics, lead management, a central inbox, contact records. Native integrations push the leads into your CRM.

Pricing

Pricing is per user with 25% off annual billing, and there's a separate agency licence:

  • Pro Dux, €12.99 a month or €9.92 on annual billing: personalized invitations, profile visits and tagging, post liking, messages to first-degree connections, and CSV export.
  • Turbo Dux, €49 a month or €36.25 annually: drip campaigns without limit, campaign statistics, the lead dashboard, AI personalization, and CRM integrations.
  • Cloud Dux, €88 a month or €65.83 annually: the hosted edition, monitored and always running.
  • Cloud Agency, €330 a month: from five client seats, one dashboard, and no cap on connected LinkedIn accounts.
  • Trial: 14 days with the Turbo feature set.

Pros & Cons

✅ Under €10 a month on an annual plan, which is about as cheap as LinkedIn automation gets.

✅ The extension editions work through your own LinkedIn login, so no credentials go to a third party and the message history stays inside LinkedIn.

❌ The UI is a bit dated, according to another G2 review.

#6: We-Connect

Best for: Recruiters and small sales teams that want the email step triggered by LinkedIn activity, with AI writing and answering.

Similar to: Dripify, Expandi.

LinkedIn automation and email sequencing run side by side on We-Connect, with AI working both ends of the exchange, writing what goes out and dealing with what comes back.

Features

  • The whole LinkedIn action set: Invitations, messages, and InMails, all of them filled in from the contact's own profile before sending.
  • Email that follows LinkedIn activity: What a contact does on LinkedIn triggers the email step. Copy gets split tested, and opens, clicks, and bounces are reported back.
  • AI Assist and auto-reply: Profile data feeds the icebreakers, the connection notes, and the follow-ups. Inbound messages can be answered in co-pilot mode or autonomously.
  • Lead Engine: A visual builder in beta that scores contacts on their behaviour and decides where each one goes next.

Pricing

Seats set the price, annual billing lowers the rate, and agency pricing comes by quote:

  • Growth, $49 per seat per month billed annually: LinkedIn smart campaigns with no cap, contact enrichment, the Lead Engine, AI auto-reply, and AI Assist covering icebreakers and spintax.
  • Professional, $59 per seat per month billed annually: campaigns go multi-channel, email automation fires on behaviour, native CRM integrations come in, and email performance gets tracked.
  • Scale, $79 per seat per month billed annually: still marked coming soon, bringing multi-sender campaigns, intent-signal capture, as many as four intent agents, and Post Remix.
  • Agency, custom from ten seats: a dashboard for ten or more LinkedIn accounts, a dedicated customer success manager, training when you need it, and custom development help.
  • Trial: 14 days, no card, with Post Remix sold separately from an introductory $16/month/seat.

Pros & Cons

✅ Replies can be handled autonomously, which is uncommon in this price band.

✅ Native syncs cover Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Zoho from Professional up, with campaign notifications going to Slack.

✅ The email step can be triggered by LinkedIn behaviour from Professional upward.

✅ Agency plans cover ten or more client accounts with a named success manager.

❌ Post scheduling is a paid add-on.

#7: La Growth Machine

Best for: Outbound crews that want a phone call and an X message available as sequence steps, with the bill counting sending profiles.

Similar to: Lemlist, Reply.io.

La Growth Machine bills by identity, meaning a profile that actively runs campaigns, which means that anybody whose only job is answering replies can be added for nothing.

Features

  • Branching and split tests: What a lead does decides where they go next, and tests can be run on subject lines, on copy, and on whether an invitation carries a note.
  • Voice notes on LinkedIn: A single recording delivered at volume, with a fresh AI-written opening line for every prospect who hears it.
  • One inbox for both channels: LinkedIn and email replies collect together, filterable by campaign or by identity. A status applied in the thread pushes through to HubSpot or Pipedrive.
  • Enrichment already paid for: A monthly allowance of verified addresses and profile data is attached to every tier, sourced through a waterfall of data providers.

Pricing

The rate is per identity per month, and annual billing waives two months:

  • Basic, $60 per identity: LinkedIn and email, with a ceiling of three identities, a single sending address, three team members, and 250 enriched leads monthly.
  • Pro, $110 per identity: calling is added, enrichment moves to 400 leads, five sending addresses go into rotation, six campaigns can run together, and social warming comes in with 25 free team members.
  • Ultimate, $165 per identity: X becomes available, enrichment reaches 1,000 leads, ten sending addresses rotate, campaigns and team members are uncapped, and HubSpot or Pipedrive sync runs in both directions.
  • Agency, custom: quoted from six identities up.
  • Trial: 14 days, no card.

Pros & Cons

✅ The enrichment allowance is inside the subscription, so lead data never turns into a separate bill.

✅ Only sending profiles count toward the price, and everybody else joins free.

✅ Voice notes go out at volume with a per-prospect AI opener, which is rare tooling.

❌ The bill climbs quickly once several profiles are sending.

❌ Sync errors and interface lag during workflow setup, according to a G2 review.

#8: Octopus CRM

Best for: Solo operators checking whether automated LinkedIn outreach produces anything in their market before any real spend.

Similar to: Dux-Soup.

Octopus CRM sticks to the core LinkedIn actions: personalized invites, bulk messages, profile views, and skill endorsements.

Features

  • The action set: Profile views and endorsements can warm a prospect first, then a personalized invite goes out, with bulk messaging reserved for first-degree connections.
  • Personal CRM: Your contact list with campaign statistics attached to it, and your own data imports and exports freely.
  • Funnel builder: Actions link into a lead generation funnel, where a profile view leads into an invite and an accepted invite leads into a message.
  • Activity control: If daily activity on the account runs hotter than it should, an alert gives you the chance to ease off.

Pricing

Four tiers open up progressively more of the action set, Sales Navigator works on all of them, and the feature matrix on the pricing page rewards a read against your own checklist:

  • Starter, $6.99 a month: the entry point, covering personalized auto-invites and the personal CRM.
  • Pro, $9.99 a month: a wider slice of the messaging and profile-view actions.
  • Advanced, $14.99 a month: integrations join, Zapier and HubSpot among them.
  • Unlimited, $24.99 a month: the complete action set, with LinkedIn Premium and Recruiter supported next to Sales Navigator.
  • Trial: seven days, no credit card, cancel whenever.

Pros & Cons

✅ Activity alerts are a safeguard you don't often get at this price.

✅ The funnel builder links profile views through invites and into follow-up messages.

✅ Sales Navigator works from the cheapest tier.

A G2 review mentions that they’re not happy with Octopus CRM’s customer support.

Another G2 review mentions that the platform is very LinkedIn-specific.

#9: Lemlist

Best for: Teams fighting mailbox deliverability first and copy second, who also want calling and WhatsApp as sequence steps.

Similar to: Reply.io, La Growth Machine.

One Lemlist sequence can move a prospect across email, LinkedIn, the phone, WhatsApp, and SMS.

Conditions pick the next step from whatever that prospect has done so far.

Features

  • Five channels in a single flow: The campaign can start with an email, put a LinkedIn invite and a voice note behind it, dial the prospect, then chase over WhatsApp, and conditions choose which of those each lead actually gets.
  • Deliverability Hub: Mailbox warm-up, inbox rotation, limit management, and DNS checks, with the warnings turning up early enough to rescue a domain.
  • Contact data: Better than 650 million records with email and phone lookup over the top, billed by credit.
  • Agents doing groundwork: Account research and data cleaning go to lemAgent, while separate agents watch for funding rounds, hiring, a change of role, or a visit to your site.

Pricing

Three paid plans, 20% cheaper on yearly billing:

  • Email, $69 monthly at list, $55 yearly: no ceiling on users or on email senders, 50,000 messages a month, the Deliverability Hub, and access to the contact database.
  • Multichannel, $109 monthly at list, $87 per user yearly: LinkedIn automation, SMS, the dialer, five senders each, messages without limit, and WhatsApp for an extra charge.
  • Enterprise, custom: single sign-on, roles and permissions to your specification, a named account manager, and priority support.
  • Credits: five for a verified address, 20 for a phone number, and intent signals from 20 apiece.
  • Trial: two weeks.

Pros & Cons

✅ Deliverability tooling ships with the product, so warm-up and domain monitoring don't need a second vendor.

✅ Calling and WhatsApp are unusual on a list like this, and here they're steps in the same flow as LinkedIn.

✅ Research agents watch hiring and funding activity without another subscription.

❌ Enrichment and intent signals run on credits.

❌ There's a bit of a learning curve to get the most out of all the features when you first start, according to a G2 review.

#10: Reply.io

Best for: Sales teams running five channels through one conditional sequence, with the option of handing prospecting to an AI SDR later.

Similar to: Lemlist, La Growth Machine.

Reply.io is a sales engagement platform, where email, LinkedIn, calling, SMS, and WhatsApp are each available as steps inside one sequence, and a Zapier step reaches whatever else you need.

Features

  • LinkedIn is treated as a full channel: Invitations, messages, InMails, voice messages, attachments, post likes, follows, endorsements. Each one either fires automatically or waits as a manual task for your approval.
  • Conditional sequences: A prospect who ignores the email gets a LinkedIn touch and then a call, and which branch they take depends on their own behaviour.
  • B2B data on the platform: Contact search carrying buying-intent signals, plus website visitor reveals on every plan up to 200 a month.
  • Deliverability tooling: Mailboxes are uncapped under a fair-usage policy and come with warm-up, and DNS setup, custom tracking domains, inbox rotation, and even domain purchase are handled in-app.

Pricing

Reply.io splits its pricing two ways, one shape for email volume and one for channel coverage:

  • Multichannel, from $89 per user per month billed annually: ten mailboxes, LinkedIn, calling, and SMS all included, with WhatsApp running as a semi-automated step.
  • Email Volume, from $49 per month: no cap on users or mailboxes, 1,000 active contacts, and LinkedIn priced at $69/month per account with calling and SMS at $29/month per user.
  • Jason AI SDR, from $500 per month: prospecting and replies handled automatically, end to end.
  • Agency, from $166 per month: a client management dashboard built for agencies.
  • Trial: 14 days across the platform.

Pros & Cons

✅ Five channels can branch inside one sequence, though LinkedIn and calling carry their own charges.

✅ Warm-up is bundled, with the mailbox count governed by fair usage against your contact volume.

✅ The AI SDR is an upgrade on the same platform, so no second vendor is needed for it.

❌ There is no possibility to parallelize actions within the same sequence (for example, contacting someone in parallel via email and on LinkedIn, without LinkedIn becoming a bottleneck), according to a G2 review.

❌ A unified outbox is also missing, according to the same G2 review.

Which Waalaxy alternative should you pick?

Waalaxy is a good product for the job it was designed to do.

A few hundred invitations a month from one profile, a template handling the sequence logic, and a campaign out the door the same day you signed up: that's the use case, and the 14-day trial costs nothing to try.

The other nine separate on two questions:

  • The first is where the sending happens.

Expandi publishes a cloud architecture with a regional IP behind every connected profile, and Dux-Soup charges €88 for its hosted edition against €12.99 for the extension, which tells you roughly what that difference is worth to a vendor.

  • The second is what each extra channel costs.

Reply.io prices LinkedIn at $69 an account on its volume plan, La Growth Machine keeps X on its $165 tier, and WhatsApp is charged on top of Lemlist's Multichannel plan.

Meet Alfred answers both on one subscription.

Campaigns send from AWS on an IP dedicated to each connected account, so nothing depends on a browser staying open or a laptop staying awake, and LinkedIn, email, and X share a sequence with scheduled posting to LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X.

The shared inbox is there at $29 on the entry tier, and the agency layer of white label, a custom domain, and notifications from your own address opens on Team at $39 a user from five seats, with nothing to negotiate for it.

➡️ If your outreach has outgrown a browser extension, the 7-day trial unlocks everything without a card, and a demo is the other route if you'd rather have someone walk the platform with you.
