LinkedIn automation tools pricing compared (2026)

Short answer: in November 2026, LinkedIn automation tools cost from $8.25 to $109 per LinkedIn account a month. Leaving out the two budget options (Linked Helper, a desktop app, and Waalaxy's entry plan), the tools below charge $59 to $109 a month on monthly billing, or $39 to $87 a month billed yearly. Three things move the price: what one "seat" covers, how long you commit, and whether email, the inbox and the API are in your plan or cost extra.

We build Kerux, one of the tools in this list, so we have a stake in it. Every number below comes from each vendor's own pricing page, read on November 6, 2026, and links to it. Prices are in US dollars before tax unless noted. Vendors change prices often, so check the page before you buy.

What you actually pay for

The unit. Almost every tool charges for each LinkedIn account it automates, whatever it calls it: a sender (HeyReach), a seat (Expandi, Meet Alfred), a user (Waalaxy, Dripify), a license (Linked Helper) or an account (Kerux). Dripify says it plainly: "Each Dripify seat connects one LinkedIn account." lemlist is the one to read twice: it prices per user, each user gets "5 senders", and its pricing page doesn't say how many of those can be LinkedIn accounts. Ask lemlist before you compare it per account.

Teammates. HeyReach, Linked Helper and Kerux charge for the LinkedIn accounts, not for the people who log in. Your sales manager, an assistant or a client can join for free.

Commitment. Paying for a year cuts the price by 20% at HeyReach, Expandi, lemlist and Kerux, and by about 25% on Dripify Pro ($79 to $59). Meet Alfred's gap is the widest: $59 a month on monthly billing, $39 billed yearly. Linked Helper sells license terms instead: 45% off for 12 months, multiplied by a volume discount from 10 licenses. Quarterly billing sits in between: 10% off at HeyReach, lemlist and Kerux, $49 on Meet Alfred's LinkedIn Only.

The tier. The entry price rarely includes everything. Email, the API and integrations are where tiers split:

• Waalaxy: API and the Make, Zapier and n8n modules start on Advanced; email sequences on Business.
• Meet Alfred: email, webhooks, Zapier and CRM integrations start on Multi-Channel; native HubSpot and Salesforce on Agency.
• Kerux: email, the API, webhooks, MCP and every integration start on Pro.
• Dripify and HeyReach list the API on their entry plan.

Cheapest for 1 account

Lowest price: Linked Helper Standard, $15 a month or $8.25 with a 12-month license. The trade-off is in its own FAQ: it's desktop software and doesn't run while your computer is off, so running all day means renting a VPS. Standard also caps eleven advanced actions (group and event messages, post likes, sending contacts to your CRM) at 20 a day.

Lowest cloud price: Waalaxy Pro, $19 a month ($16 yearly), with 300 invitations a month. Add the LinkedIn Inbox (€20 a month) if you want to manage replies in Waalaxy, and you're closer to $40.

One person, LinkedIn plus email in one sequence:

Tool and plan	Billed yearly	Monthly billing
Meet Alfred Multi-Channel	$49	$69
Waalaxy Business (inbox add-on extra)	$55	$69
Kerux Pro (plus $7 per email inbox)	$55	$69
Dripify Pro	$59	$79
Expandi Business	$79	$99
lemlist Multichannel	$87	$109

Best value for agencies (10+ accounts)

What 10 and 25 LinkedIn accounts cost per month, billed yearly / on monthly billing, at list prices:

Tool	10 accounts	25 accounts	Notes
Linked Helper Standard	$74.25 / $135	$165 / $300	Volume discount included (10% at 10, 20% at 25). Desktop app
Waalaxy Pro	$160 / $190	$400 / $475	Enterprise volume discounts from 5 seats aren't public. Inbox add-on extra
Kerux	$540 / $675	$900 / $1,125	Agency starts at 15 accounts, so 10 to 14 accounts pay for 15
Dripify Pro	$590 / $790	$1,475 / $1,975	Sales team for 10+ seats
Meet Alfred Agency	$590 / $790	$1,475 / $1,975	White label included. Sales team for 10+ seats
HeyReach	$640 / $790 (Growth)	$800 / $999 (Agency bundle)	One white label included on Agency. Agency needs your own proxies
Expandi	not public	not public	Custom price from 10 seats

Our reading: among the cloud tools with the inbox and API on the plan, Kerux costs less than HeyReach from 10 to 22 accounts, and from 23 accounts HeyReach's 25-sender bundle costs less. If your clients need the tool under your own brand, HeyReach Agency and Meet Alfred Agency include a white label; Kerux doesn't offer one. Expandi, Dripify, Meet Alfred and Waalaxy all send teams of 5 or 10+ seats to their sales team, so a quote may come in below the list prices above.

Hidden costs to check

• Proxies and servers. HeyReach Growth includes a dedicated residential proxy per sender; its Agency and Unlimited plans ask you to bring your own. Linked Helper's proxies and VPS are bought separately.
• The inbox. On Waalaxy it's a €20-a-month add-on on every plan.
• Data credits. Dripify includes 100 email finder credits a month (packs from $29 for 1,000). lemlist sells lead data as an add-on ($20 a month, $16 yearly, for 2,000 credits). Linked Helper includes 620 data credits a month on Standard and 3,100 on Pro.
• Paid personalization. Expandi charges extra for image and GIF personalization, and its Sendspark video integration is a paid add-on.
• Minimums. HeyReach's agency pricing comes in bundles of 25 or 50 senders. Meet Alfred's Agency calculator starts at 3 seats. Kerux's Agency plan starts at 15 accounts.
• What happens after the trial. Expandi's FAQ says that after the 7 days you're charged for the billing period you picked unless you cancel first. Dripify, Linked Helper and Kerux charge nothing when the trial ends.
• LinkedIn itself. If you want Sales Navigator search, you pay LinkedIn for it, on top of any tool here.
• Taxes. Expandi and Linked Helper note that local taxes may apply on top.

Where Kerux fits

Kerux sits in the middle on price: $47 per LinkedIn account billed yearly on Starter (everything on LinkedIn, including the inbox), $55 on Pro, and $36 on Agency from 15 accounts. What that buys beyond the price table: a campaign can call your own tools at any step (an API step, a Sendspark video, Clay enrichment), wait for the answer and continue, and every lead that waits shows why. See the integrations for what connects.

What it doesn't do: there's no white label (Agency emails each client a weekly report under your agency's name, but the app is Kerux); email inboxes are a paid add-on and aren't part of the 10-day trial, so you can't test email steps before you pay; the trial is 1 LinkedIn account; and 10 to 14 accounts pay for Agency's 15. If you only send invitations and a couple of follow-ups from one account, Waalaxy or Linked Helper costs less.
