Expandi vs HeyReach: Which LinkedIn Outreach Tool Is Better in 2026?

HeyReach is better for agencies and teams running many LinkedIn accounts: it costs $79 a sender monthly ($63 yearly) and $999 a month for 25 senders on Agency. Expandi is better for teams that want safety automation and email inside the same sequence: it costs $99 a LinkedIn account monthly ($79 annually), with automatic profile warm-up and If/Action sequences.

Unlike most LinkedIn tool comparisons, these two agree on the billing unit. Both charge per connected LinkedIn account and neither charges for the people logging in, so the decision comes down to price per account, scale and how much safety tooling you want built in.

Key takeaways

Is HeyReach better than Expandi?

HeyReach is better if cost per account and agency-scale management decide it; Expandi is better if you want more of the safety and sequencing work done inside the tool. For a team on three or four accounts, either is a sound choice and the difference is about $20 per account a month.

HeyReach's whole product leans toward running many senders: a unified inbox across accounts, automatic rotation of sending between connected profiles, workspaces that keep each client's data apart, and bundle pricing that gets cheaper per sender as you add more.

Expandi leans toward doing each account carefully: a warm-up routine for new profiles, smart limit ranges for connections, messages, InMails and event invites, an If/Action sequence builder, and email follow-ups in the same sequence as LinkedIn steps.

How much does Expandi cost compared with HeyReach?

HeyReach is cheaper at every account count where both publish a price. Expandi publishes a single self-serve plan and quotes agencies with 10 or more seats individually.

Expandi says the more seats you buy, the greater the potential discount, so treat its 25-account figure as a ceiling to negotiate down from. HeyReach's Agency and Unlimited plans expect you to bring your own proxies; Growth includes a dedicated residential proxy per sender.

Prices and plan details for Expandi and HeyReach were checked against each vendor's own pricing page and help centre in October 2026. LinkedIn tools change plans often — confirm the current numbers with the vendor before you commit.

Which is safer for your LinkedIn account?

Expandi puts more of the safety work into the product; HeyReach publishes more specific limits. Neither can promise an account will never be restricted, because LinkedIn does not publish its own limits and applies them per account.

Expandi's Business plan lists cloud-based sending, a dedicated country-based IP address, profile auto warm-up that starts slowly and ramps up, and limit ranges for each action type that the tool will not let you go over. It also offers a Mobile Connector campaign type that it says adds 100 connection requests a week beyond the usual limit; extra volume is extra exposure, so use it knowingly.

HeyReach gives each Growth sender a residential proxy and runs a separate login session per account. Its help centre allows up to 40 connection requests a day per sender, recommends staying at the default of 25, caps each sender at 200 a week, and pauses invitations until Monday if LinkedIn stops an account sending them.

Whichever you choose, warm new accounts up gradually, keep daily volumes well below the maximum, and never automate the one profile your business cannot afford to lose.

Which is better for agencies?

HeyReach, for most agencies: per-sender pricing drops sharply on the Agency bundle, the unified inbox covers every client account, and whitelabel is included on Agency with multi-brand whitelabel available on Unlimited.

Expandi has a real agency offer too. Its Agency plan adds roles and permissions, centralised campaign management, client reports, template sharing, a dedicated customer success manager and white-label use under your own brand, and its Global Inbox covers every account in a workspace. The difference is that you need a sales conversation to learn the price, while HeyReach publishes it.

Does Expandi or HeyReach send emails?

Expandi sends email follow-ups natively inside a LinkedIn sequence; HeyReach connects to Instantly and Smartlead for email. Expandi says you can connect any email provider and combine connection requests, messages and email follow-ups in one sequence, with If/Action branching.

HeyReach's pricing page lists multichannel outreach through native Instantly and Smartlead integrations. That suits agencies already running one of those tools; for everyone else it is an extra subscription to price in.

Which has the better free trial?

HeyReach's trial is longer. Its entry plan can be tested for 14 days with 3 LinkedIn accounts and no credit card, and it offers a 30-day trial of Agency or Unlimited on request. Expandi's trial runs 7 days with access to every feature and no charge during the trial; its pricing page does not say whether a card is needed to start.

What is the difference between Expandi and HeyReach, feature by feature?

Expandi wins on built-in care per account

Warm-up, enforced limit ranges, native email steps and branching sequences mean fewer tools and fewer manual safety decisions. For an in-house team with a few valuable profiles, that is worth the extra $20 a month each.

HeyReach wins on scale and price transparency

Cheaper per account at every published tier, a published agency bundle, sender rotation and whitelabel without a sales call. For an agency adding client accounts every month, the arithmetic decides it.

Note one billing detail on Expandi: its help centre says a seat stays billed after you disconnect its LinkedIn account, until you remove the seat from the subscription.

Which should you choose?

Price both at the number of accounts you expect in twelve months, not today. Below ten accounts the gap is modest and Expandi's safety and email features can justify it; above that, HeyReach's Agency bundle is hard to beat unless Expandi's quote comes in close.

Where does Scalry fit?

Scalry is a CRM, cold email and sales automation platform on flat pricing ($29 to $199 a month). We are not pitching it as a replacement for either tool's LinkedIn sequencing here.

Where it can help is after the reply. Both Expandi and HeyReach hand leads onward through integrations, and an interested reply that sits in an outreach inbox for a week is the most common way these campaigns lose money. Decide where replies go before you launch.

Frequently asked questions

Is Expandi better than HeyReach?

Expandi is better for teams that want built-in warm-up, enforced limit ranges and native email steps on a few valuable accounts. HeyReach is better for agencies and multi-account teams, because it is cheaper per account and publishes a $999 Agency bundle for 25 senders.

How much does Expandi cost per month?

Expandi's Business plan is $99 per LinkedIn account per month, or $79 a month on annual billing paid upfront. Teams of 10 or more seats, or agencies wanting white-label, get a custom quote from sales.

HeyReach Growth is $79 per LinkedIn sender a month, $71 on quarterly billing or $63 on yearly billing. Agency is $999 a month for 25 senders and Unlimited is $2,999 a month with a 300-sender fair-use cap.

Do Expandi and HeyReach charge for team members?

No. Both bill for connected LinkedIn accounts. HeyReach says it does not charge for teammates, VAs, clients or users, and Expandi says inviting teammates, clients or guests to a workspace does not add seats.

Which tool has a unified inbox?

Both. HeyReach's Unified Inbox shows every connected account's LinkedIn conversations in one place, and Expandi's Global Inbox covers every account in a workspace with filters, tags and notes.

Are Expandi and HeyReach cloud-based?

Yes, neither needs your browser open. Expandi lists cloud-based sending with a dedicated country-based IP. HeyReach runs a separate background session for each sender, through a residential proxy on its Growth plan.

Can either tool guarantee my LinkedIn account will not be restricted?

No. LinkedIn restricts accounts that behave like automation, and it does not publish its limits. Lower daily volumes, a gradual warm-up and genuinely personal messages reduce the risk on either tool; they do not remove it.
