Expandi alternatives: cheaper, better on email, or built for agencies

Three reasons to look beyond Expandi: $99 per LinkedIn account adds up quickly, its email step has no finder and no warm-up, or the Agency plan for client work is only priced on request. Each section below answers one of them, with prices taken from each vendor's own pricing page.

Monthly prices, billed monthly unless stated, excluding VAT, read on each publisher’s site (checked between October 5, 2026 and October 14, 2026). Emelia’s prices follow your currency; tools billed in dollars only stay in dollars, and those billed in euros only stay in euros. –: not offered, or not checked for this need.

Cheaper than $99 an account: four LinkedIn tools priced below Expandi

Same need as one Expandi seat, billed monthly: one LinkedIn account, with or without email. Expandi, Dripify and HeyReach are quoted in dollars, Waalaxy from its dollar price list, and Emelia in your currency, which it bills at the same figure in euros or dollars. Expandi includes an email step, so the fair comparison is a plan that sends emails too; where a tool only covers LinkedIn, we say so.

  • Emelia Start, $37: 1 LinkedIn account and 3 mailboxes with warm-up, email finder and API. Grow covers 3 accounts for $97, where a single Expandi seat costs $99.
  • Waalaxy Business, $69 on its dollar price list: LinkedIn and cold email, 800 invitations a month. If LinkedIn alone is enough, Pro costs $19 for 300 invitations a month. Waalaxy's euro price list uses other figures.
  • Dripify Pro, $79: LinkedIn plus an email step from one Gmail or Outlook mailbox, unlimited campaigns and up to 200 emails a day. Advanced, which adds team management and A/B testing (in beta), costs $99: the price of an Expandi seat.
  • HeyReach Growth, $79, then $59 per account from 10: cheaper for LinkedIn only, because HeyReach sends no email itself; it hands leads to Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison, each a separate subscription.

What Expandi’s one plan includes, and what Emelia covers

Expandi puts every feature in one plan. Here is what it includes, next to what Emelia’s plans cover.

  • LinkedIn actions: Expandi adds InMail (paid ones need Sales Navigator), event invitations, group messages, company-page invitations, visitor signals and the Mobile Connector to invitations and messages; Emelia runs profile visits, invitations, messages and post likes in the same sequence as the emails.
  • CRM: HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive natively for every Expandi customer; Emelia connects 1 CRM on Start and Grow, several on Scale.
  • Price: unchanged since February 2024 at Expandi, every feature on its one plan; every Emelia plan has the full toolkit too, from $37 a month.
  • Inbox: Expandi’s Global Inbox gathers the LinkedIn conversations of every account in a workspace; Emelia’s unified inbox gathers the LinkedIn and email replies.

Alternatives that send cold email at volume, with warm-up and an email finder

Expandi's email step needs an address you already have, goes out through the SMTP mailbox connected to each LinkedIn account and leaves replies to Gmail or Outlook. If email is half your pipeline, these tools treat it as a channel of its own.

Emelia

3, 50 or unlimited mailboxes depending on the plan, warm-up included, one inbox for replies, and an email finder that uses 1 credit only when it finds an address. LinkedIn steps run in the same sequences, with 1 to 10 accounts included.

lemlist

Multichannel costs $109 a month per user, with 1 LinkedIn account and up to 5 sending addresses each. lemwarm Essential warm-up is included; finding and verifying an email uses 5 credits.

La Growth Machine

Billed per "identity" (a LinkedIn account and its email addresses): $70 on Basic with 1 address, $135 on Pro with 5. Its finder uses 5 credits per verified email; there is no built-in warm-up (it points to MailWarm or MailReach).

Expandi with Smartlead

Expandi's own answer to volume: each LinkedIn account can push leads into a Smartlead campaign, and import leads from it. You then pay for two tools and run two inboxes.

Running client accounts: Emelia’s plans, HeyReach’s agency packs, Expandi’s quote

Expandi's white label is thorough: your domain, logo and colours, your own Stripe account to bill clients, voucher codes to activate their accounts. But it sits in the Agency plan, from 10 seats, at a price Expandi does not publish.

  • Emelia prices agency work by plan: 10 LinkedIn accounts and unlimited mailboxes on Scale for $297, $29 per extra account, with no fee per user.
  • HeyReach publishes its agency prices: $999 a month for 25 LinkedIn senders, $1,399 for 50, $2,999 for Unlimited (up to 300), white label included from Agency. Proxies are yours to provide on those plans, and email sending stays in a separate tool.
  • Dripify offers no white label.

How Expandi's rivals bill: per account, per user or per plan

The unit each tool charges for decides how the bill grows with your team. Prices are monthly list prices.

  1. 1

    Emelia

    Best for: LinkedIn and cold email on one plan

    Expandi bills one seat per LinkedIn account; Emelia bills per plan, by mailboxes (3, 50 or unlimited) and LinkedIn accounts (1, 3 or 10, then $29 each). Cold email from several warmed-up mailboxes, the email finder, a unified inbox and the API come with every plan, where Expandi’s email step has neither mailbox warm-up nor a finder. Conditions in sequences and an integrated proxy come with every plan too.

  2. 2

    Waalaxy

    Best for: LinkedIn with ready-made templates

    Waalaxy sells one LinkedIn account per licence, with euro and dollar price lists that both start below an Expandi seat. Cold email only comes with its Business plan. Its campaigns start from ready-made templates, where Expandi lets you build conditional workflows.

  3. 3

    Dripify

    Best for: A per-account tool with tiers

    Dripify is the closest per-account rival to Expandi, billed in dollars too, with Advanced at $99 a month, the price of an Expandi seat. Each licence sends email from one Gmail or Outlook mailbox and gets 100 email finder credits a month, which Expandi does not include. It has no white label, where Expandi sells one on its Agency plan.

  4. 4

    HeyReach

    Best for: Agencies with many LinkedIn senders

    HeyReach prices agencies differently from Expandi’s per-seat model: $79 per sender, $59 each from 10, then flat agency plans with white label. It sends no email itself, where Expandi has email steps in its plan. Its campaigns can rotate several LinkedIn accounts, with a unified inbox for all of them.

  5. 5

    lemlist

    Best for: Cold email at the core, LinkedIn as an extra step

    lemlist puts cold email at the core and LinkedIn as an extra step: Multichannel includes 1 LinkedIn account, up to 5 sending addresses, lemwarm warm-up and 400 credits per user. It costs more than an Expandi seat but covers volume email, which Expandi only treats as a step. LinkedIn runs through its Chrome extension, where Expandi runs in the cloud.

    • YesEmail finder
    • YesLinkedIn automation
    • YesPhone number finder
    Price
    $109/month
    Who it’s for
    Teams whose pipeline comes from cold email, with LinkedIn as a supporting step.
  6. 6

    La Growth Machine

    Best for: Multichannel sequences per sender

    La Growth Machine bills per identity, a LinkedIn account with its email addresses (1 on Basic to 10 on Ultimate), close to Expandi’s per-account logic. It adds lead enrichment, where Expandi has no email finder, and a company database to build lists. Like Expandi, it includes no mailbox warm-up.

    • YesEmail finder
    • YesLinkedIn automation
    • YesPhone number finder
    Price
    From $70/month
    Who it’s for
    Sales teams that want enrichment and LinkedIn-led sequences per sender.

Already compared in depth: Expandi against Waalaxy, and against Dripify

Waalaxy vs Expandi: ready-made templates against a condition builder, and two different ways of keeping a LinkedIn account safe.

Dripify vs Expandi: two tools billed per LinkedIn account in dollars, compared on daily caps, email, integrations and white label.

Expandi replacements: price per account, email finder, euro billing

With email in the same plan: Emelia Start ($37 a month), Dripify Pro ($79) or Waalaxy Business ($69 on its dollar price list), against $99 for an Expandi seat. For LinkedIn alone, Waalaxy Pro and HeyReach Growth are cheaper too.

Emelia (1 credit per email found and verified, nothing charged when no email is found), lemlist (5 credits), La Growth Machine (5 credits), and Dripify, whose licence includes 100 finder credits a month.

Yes. Emelia, Waalaxy, lemlist and La Growth Machine all bill in euros; Expandi, Dripify and HeyReach only in dollars. Waalaxy and La Growth Machine use different figures in euros and in dollars; Emelia and lemlist charge the same figure in both.
