Expandi.io vs Meet Alfred: conditional sequences or a cheaper seat

Both automate LinkedIn from the cloud, price each LinkedIn account in dollars and send email through your own mailbox. Expandi sells one plan with a builder that branches on conditions and CRMs on every seat; Meet Alfred splits its features across three plans and keeps team tools and native CRMs for Agency. Emelia, shown alongside, puts several LinkedIn accounts and mailboxes in one plan.

Sequence builders: Expandi branches on conditions, Meet Alfred chains channels

The real difference between the two sits in the campaign editor. Expandi builds a tree: each step can test a condition and send the lead down one branch or another. Meet Alfred builds a line of steps across LinkedIn, email and X, and adds email-only campaigns of its own.

Expandi: 20 actions and 11 conditions

Its builder pairs "If" conditions with actions: invitations, messages, InMails, likes, profile visits, endorsements, follows and emails. The email step sits behind the "If email exists" condition, so it only goes out when the address is public on LinkedIn or imported, over SMTP from the mailbox you connect. Campaigns can also start from signals, such as visitors to your profile or to a company page you administer, with LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator.

The limits are written down: 15 active campaigns, 5,000 leads each, and a help centre that advises staying around 100 invitations a week.

Meet Alfred: LinkedIn, email and X in one line

A multichannel campaign chains LinkedIn steps, emails and X messages, and when it opens with an invitation the rest waits for the acceptance. Its help centre describes no if/else branch, and Meet Alfred's own comparison with Expandi lists "Standard multi-step sequences" on its side, while its pricing page says sequences take "as many touches and conditions" as needed. X messages are sold on Multi-Channel but listed as under maintenance in a help article updated on August 19, 2026.

Where Meet Alfred goes further is email on its own: a campaign type that sends to a CSV of addresses or to your first-degree connections, with unlimited steps, attachments and an unsubscribe link, plus LinkedIn campaigns aimed at groups, events, newsletters and company pages.

Mailboxes behind each LinkedIn account

Meet Alfred connects one email integration per account at a time. Expandi has not published how many mailboxes a seat takes on its current plan; an "Expandi Email" beta, on request, announces up to 10 per LinkedIn account. Neither warms mailboxes up. Emelia puts 3 mailboxes behind 1 LinkedIn account on Start and 50 behind 3 on Grow, warm-up included.

Seat prices side by side: Expandi's single plan, Meet Alfred's three

Each line starts from an Emelia plan and the LinkedIn accounts it includes, LinkedIn and email together, billed monthly. In front: Business for each account at Expandi, and the cheapest Meet Alfred plan that sends email. Expandi and Meet Alfred in dollars, the only currency their pricing pages show; Emelia in yours.

1 LinkedIn account

Emelia$37 (Start)
Expandi$99 (Business)
Meet Alfred$69 (Multi-Channel)

3 LinkedIn accounts

Emelia$97 (Grow)
Expandi$297 (3 × Business)
Meet Alfred$207 (3 × Multi-Channel); $237 on Agency

10 LinkedIn accounts

Emelia$297 (Scale)
Expandi$990 (10 × Business)
Meet Alfred$690 (10 × Multi-Channel); $790 on Agency

Before tax. Meet Alfred's LinkedIn Only seat ($59) sends no email and is left out; its Agency plan needs 3 seats. Expandi's Agency plan, with white label, is on quote from 10 seats, and Meet Alfred suggests a sales call from 10: the 10-account line is the list price. At least until September 15, 2026, Meet Alfred's multichannel seat cost $99, the same as Expandi; its help centre still quotes that figure.

Trustpilot read on November 3, 2026 for both, Capterra on October 7, 2026 for Expandi; G2 blocks automated reading for both. On Meet Alfred's Trustpilot page, recent complaints mention LinkedIn accounts disconnecting and a refund refused after an outage; more in the Meet Alfred overview.

CRM, API and white label: HubSpot on every Expandi seat, on Meet Alfred's Agency only

Expandi puts its integrations on its one plan. Meet Alfred spreads them across three: Zapier and webhooks from Multi-Channel, native CRMs from Agency.

Native CRM

ExpandiHubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive, on every seat
Meet AlfredHubSpot and Salesforce, on Agency (3 seats at least)

At Emelia, the API comes with every plan (100 to 1,000 requests a minute), one native CRM from Start and several on Scale.

Expandi.io or Meet Alfred, and what Emelia puts on a single plan

Between the two

Expandi is the one with branching sequences, signals and CRMs on every seat, at $99 per LinkedIn account. Meet Alfred costs less per seat with email ($69), adds email-only campaigns, a Lead Finder and social posting, and asks for Agency at $79 a seat before a team shares one account or connects HubSpot or Salesforce natively.

Emelia, on the same need

3 LinkedIn profiles running LinkedIn and email cost $297 at Expandi and $207 at Meet Alfred, billed monthly. Emelia Grow covers them for $97, with 50 mailboxes instead of one per account, warm-up, the email and phone finder in credits charged only when something is found, a CRM integration and the API.

Campaigns run on Emelia's servers too. Its Chrome extension connects the LinkedIn account (setup guide) and sends Sales Navigator searches to Emelia with its "Export with Emelia" button: export your searches with no cap on the number of exports, from $37 a month before tax.

Expandi.io and Meet Alfred: installation, team seats and the companies behind them

No, for either. Neither uses a Chrome extension: both run in the cloud, you connect your LinkedIn account in the tool, and campaigns keep running with your computer off.

At Expandi, yes: teammates join a workspace for free, and you pay for each LinkedIn account connected. At Meet Alfred, each user needs their own licence under its terms, and several users under one account start with Agency, $79 a seat for 3 seats or more. Emelia does not count users: you pay for the plan.

Expandi is published by ProfitSoft B.V., based in Eindhoven, and was started in 2019. Meet Alfred names no legal entity in its terms; it says it was founded in 2016 or 2017, depending on the page, by Martin Martinez, and its Trustpilot page lists an address in Roseville, Australia.

11 conditions and 20 actions, according to Expandi's help centre. Meet Alfred's comparison page, last updated on February 17, 2026, credits it with 9 conditions and 11 actions: Expandi's own figures are the ones to go by.
