Expandi vs Dripify: pricing, weekly LinkedIn limits and which is better

The short answer

Expandi and Dripify are both cloud LinkedIn automation tools with a dedicated IP per account, and at the top of Dripify's range they cost the same: Expandi Business is $99 per LinkedIn account a month, or $79 on annual billing, and Dripify Advanced is $99 or $79 per user. Dripify also sells cheaper seats, $39 on Basic and $59 on Pro annually, with email steps and 100 email finder credits a month on every plan. What Expandi sells for the higher entry price is reach: its Mobile Connector campaign type adds up to 100 connection requests a week on top of LinkedIn's usual limit of about 100. Buy Dripify for most reps. Buy Expandi when weekly invitations are the bottleneck. AutoMail is the email channel neither one is built to run.

Quick verdict

Who each tool is for

Both Expandi and Dripify are capable. Here is the shortest honest way to choose, with where AutoMail fits.

Pick Dripify

Most individual reps and small teams. Pro at $59 a seat on annual billing gives unlimited campaigns, a dedicated IP, email steps in the sequence and 100 email finder credits a month, which is $20 a month less than Expandi for the same channel. Basic at $39 covers one campaign at light volume.

Pick Expandi

LinkedIn invitations are the constraint on your pipeline and each account is worth protecting: a founder, a senior AE, a recruiter with a strong network. The Mobile Connector adds up to 100 requests a week beyond the usual limit, and the Agency plan adds white label from ten seats.

Pick AutoMail

LinkedIn is handled and the email channel is the gap. The AI researches each company, writes the opener and follow-ups for that prospect, warms and rotates your own sending inboxes, pauses the moment someone replies and sends interested prospects your booking link. Flat per workspace, from $39 a month on annual billing.

Expandi and Dripify look alike on the surface. Both run LinkedIn campaigns on their own servers, so nothing depends on a browser tab staying open, both tie each account to a dedicated IP address, and both run email follow-ups inside the same sequence as connection requests and messages. Buyers usually shortlist them together for exactly that reason, then get stuck because the feature lists read almost the same.

The prices do not. Dripify charges per user on three published tiers: Basic $39, Pro $59 and Advanced $79 a month on annual billing, or $59, $79 and $99 monthly. Expandi publishes one plan, Business, at $99 per LinkedIn account a month or $79 on annual billing, and quotes an Agency plan from ten seats with white label on a call. So Expandi's entry price is Dripify's top price, and a rep who would be fine on Dripify Pro pays $20 a month more on Expandi.

The reason to pay that gap is the weekly ceiling. LinkedIn allows most accounts roughly 100 connection invitations per rolling week, whatever a tool advertises per day. Dripify lists up to 75 requests a day on Pro and Advanced, but LinkedIn's weekly limit binds long before that. Expandi's pricing page says its Mobile Connector campaign type lets an account send an additional 100 connection requests a week. If that holds for your account, the same $79 buys about twice the invitations, which is the only line on either pricing page that changes how many prospects you reach.

The third option

Where AutoMail fits between them

The AI writes the sequence

Both tools above leave the copy to you. AutoMail researches each prospect and writes a genuine 1:1 opener and follow-ups, so relevance, not just volume, drives the reply rate.

Deliverability built in

Inbox rotation, gradual warm-up and a spam-score check on every send keep personalized copy in the primary inbox, built for the 2026 Google and Microsoft sender rules.

Replies become meetings

When a prospect answers, the sequence pauses, intent is classified, and meeting-ready replies route to your booking link and CRM. Flat per workspace, unlimited seats, no credits.

One honest caveat: AutoMail has no built-in lead database, so bring or sync your own verified list. If prospecting data is what you need most, keep a data tool for that and run the outreach here.

Good questions

Expandi vs Dripify, answered

Dripify is better for most reps, because Pro at $59 a seat on annual billing covers unlimited campaigns, email steps and 100 email finder credits a month for $20 less than Expandi. Expandi is better when weekly LinkedIn invitations are the bottleneck: its Mobile Connector adds up to 100 connection requests a week beyond the usual limit, and its Agency plan adds white label.

Work out whether your pipeline is limited by invitations or by budget. If a rep sends fewer than about 100 connection requests a week, Dripify Pro does the job for $59 a seat annually. If your best accounts hit LinkedIn's weekly limit every week, Expandi's extra 100 requests are worth the $79, which matches the price of Dripify Advanced.

Dripify, below its top tier. On annual billing Dripify is $39 a user on Basic and $59 on Pro, while Expandi's only published plan is $79 per LinkedIn account. At the top the two are identical: Dripify Advanced and Expandi Business both cost $99 monthly or $79 annually. For five accounts that is $295 on Dripify Pro against $395 on Expandi.

Expandi Business is $99 per LinkedIn account a month on monthly billing, or $79 a month on annual billing, which Expandi describes as 20 percent off or two months free. The Agency plan starts at ten seats, adds roles, client reports and white label, and is quoted on a call. Image, GIF and video personalization cost extra.

Dripify is $39 a user a month on Basic, $59 on Pro and $79 on Advanced with annual billing, or $59, $79 and $99 monthly. Enterprise is quoted by seat count. Each seat connects one LinkedIn account, and every plan includes email steps and 100 email finder credits a month.

Yes, according to Expandi's pricing page. Its Mobile Connector campaign type lets an account send an additional 100 connection requests a week on top of the standard limit, which LinkedIn sets at roughly 100 per rolling week for most accounts. Dripify advertises up to 75 requests a day on Pro, but LinkedIn's weekly limit caps it first.

Dripify prices the user and sells three tiers, so a light user pays $39 a month and email finder credits are included. Expandi prices the LinkedIn account on one $79 annual plan and spends the difference on reach and safety: a country-based dedicated IP, profile warm-up and the Mobile Connector that adds weekly invitations.

Both run LinkedIn sequences from the cloud with connection requests, messages, InMails and email follow-ups. Pick Dripify for a rep or small team that wants the lowest working price and a built-in email finder. Pick Expandi for a high-value account that needs more weekly invitations, or for an agency that wants client-facing white label.

They use the same core protections: cloud sending and a dedicated IP tied to each account. Expandi adds profile auto warm-up and hard limit ranges; Dripify adds adaptive activity control and advanced protection on Advanced. LinkedIn prohibits third-party automation in its User Agreement either way, and sending above the usual weekly limit carries more risk, not less.

Expandi does. Its Agency plan, quoted from ten seats, lets you run Expandi under your own brand with roles, permissions and client reports. Dripify has no white label on any plan; Advanced adds multi-team management so one admin can oversee several teams from one login.

No. Both give you templates and personalization variables, and Expandi adds image and GIF personalization as a paid extra, but you write the messages. AutoMail does that part for the email channel: it researches each prospect, writes the full sequence, sends from your warmed inboxes and routes interested replies to your booking link.
