HeyReach does not send email. It is a LinkedIn automation tool, and for the email half of a sequence it hands leads to a separate cold email platform: natively to Instantly or Smartlead, or to anything else through webhooks, Zapier or Make. So "HeyReach email automation" really means buying a second tool. With one LinkedIn sender on annual billing, HeyReach Growth ($63) plus Instantly Growth ($37.60) costs about $101 a month, plus Smartlead Base ($32.50) about $96, and plus AutoMail Starter ($24) about $87. The right pick depends less on price than on who writes the emails and how many inboxes you need.
What HeyReach does with email today
HeyReach's own multichannel page, read in September 2026, describes the setup plainly: HeyReach runs LinkedIn at scale across many sender accounts, and "Instantly or Smartlead handle email volume and deliverability." Three email-related pieces live inside HeyReach itself.
| Piece | What it does | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|
| Find Email step | Looks up a professional address for a lead inside the campaign | Send anything. Credits are a one-time allocation per plan (100 per sender on Growth, 1,000 on Agency, 3,000 on Unlimited) |
| Native Instantly and Smartlead integrations | Push leads to an email campaign on a trigger (invite ignored, no reply) and pull leads back from email into LinkedIn, both ways | Cover any other sender natively |
| Webhooks, Zapier, Make, HubSpot | Route lead events to any other tool and log activity in the CRM | Warm inboxes, rotate senders or write copy |
That is a sensible division of labor. LinkedIn automation and cold email deliverability are different engineering problems, and HeyReach chose to be very good at the first one. It does mean the email budget sits outside the HeyReach invoice, and most comparison pages quote only the LinkedIn side.
HeyReach email automation pricing and the full monthly bill
The table below prices one person running LinkedIn plus email, with vendor list prices checked in September 2026. HeyReach Growth is $79 a sender a month, $71 quarterly or $63 annually. The email platform is the line that changes.
| Pairing | Annual billing, per month | Monthly billing | Native link to HeyReach | Who writes the emails |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HeyReach Growth plus Instantly Growth | $100.60 | $126 | Yes, two-way | You, with AI assists |
| HeyReach Growth plus Smartlead Base | $95.50 | $118 | Yes, two-way | You, with AI assists |
| HeyReach Growth plus AutoMail Starter | $87 | $128 | Through webhooks, Zapier or Make, or a CSV | The AI, one sequence per prospect |
Those email prices are the base tiers. Smartlead Base does not include the mailboxes themselves; its own add-on rows price Zapmail mailboxes at $4.50 each and domains at $13, so a five-inbox pool adds roughly $23 a month plus domains. Instantly's outreach Growth plan is $47 monthly or $37.60 annually and also expects you to bring or buy inboxes. On AutoMail you connect your own inboxes too (up to five on Starter, 25 on Growth), and warm-up and rotation are in the plan. Our inbox rotation pricing breakdown shows how those pool limits compare across ten tools.
Agency math for 25 LinkedIn senders
Agencies are HeyReach's core buyer, so here is the same exercise at scale. HeyReach Agency is $999 a month for 25 senders, $899 quarterly or $799 annually, and its FAQ asks Agency and Unlimited customers to bring their own residential proxies.
| Email side for 25 LinkedIn senders | Annual billing, per month | What the email plan adds |
|---|---|---|
| Smartlead Pro | $78 | Unlimited mailboxes and seats, API; white label is $29 per client workspace on top |
| Instantly Hypergrowth | $77.60 | Unlimited inboxes, higher sending and contact limits |
| AutoMail Agency | $124 | Unlimited workspaces, AI-written sequences per prospect, warm-up and rotation |
At agency scale the email line is under 15 percent of the total, so it should be chosen on labor, not list price. The expensive part of running 25 client campaigns is the hours spent writing sequences and triaging replies. We worked through that trade in cold email cost per meeting, and the conclusion holds here: the software that removes writing time is cheaper than the software with the lowest sticker.
Does HeyReach have email automation?
No, not as a sending step. HeyReach automates LinkedIn actions across many sender accounts and adds a Find Email step, but the emails themselves go out through a separate platform. It has native two-way integrations with Instantly and Smartlead and connects to other senders through webhooks, Zapier or Make.
Can HeyReach send cold emails?
HeyReach cannot send cold emails on its own plans. It finds addresses and passes leads to an email tool when a LinkedIn trigger fires, for example an invite not accepted after five days. The sending, warm-up, inbox rotation and email reply handling all happen in the connected cold email platform.
What is the best email tool to pair with HeyReach?
Instantly or Smartlead if you want a native two-way link and plan to write the sequences yourself; HeyReach documents both integrations. Pick AutoMail if the bottleneck is writing emails good enough to get replies, because it researches each prospect and writes the sequence, and connect it through webhooks, Zapier or a CSV export.
Does HeyReach integrate with Instantly and Smartlead?
Yes. Both are native and bidirectional. You paste an API key from Instantly or Smartlead into HeyReach's integrations screen, then leads move to an email campaign when a LinkedIn step goes unanswered, and email non-responders can move back into a LinkedIn campaign. Replies on either channel can pause the other.
How many emails can I send with HeyReach?
None through HeyReach itself. Email volume is set by the connected sender and by how many warmed inboxes you run. A common working limit is 30 to 50 cold emails per inbox per day, so a rep reaching 1,000 new prospects a month with follow-ups usually needs three to five inboxes, which is what rotation plans are sized around.
Is the Find Email step enough to feed the email half?
Usually not for long. HeyReach's credits are a one-time allocation rather than a monthly refill: 100 per sender on Growth. That covers a pilot. For a steady campaign you will want a separate source of verified addresses; a dedicated email finder with verification built in keeps bounce rates low before a single message goes out, which protects the sending domains you just paid to warm.
Which pairing to buy
- HeyReach plus Smartlead if you run an agency, want the cheapest native link and have people whose job is writing sequences.
- HeyReach plus Instantly if you already use Instantly's lead database or its bundles and want the native two-way sync.
- HeyReach plus AutoMail if email is the channel that books most of your meetings and the writing is where your team loses time. You keep HeyReach for LinkedIn and let AutoMail research, write, warm, rotate and route replies to your booking link, from $24 a month on annual billing.
