Expandi vs HeyReach pricing, agency costs and which is better

The short answer

Expandi and HeyReach both run LinkedIn outreach from the cloud with a dedicated IP per account, but they price for different buyers. Expandi charges per LinkedIn account: $99 a month, or $79 on annual billing, and keeps that seat price at ten seats and up. HeyReach charges $79 per sender a month on Growth ($63 annual), then sells flat blocks: Agency at $999 a month for 25 senders ($799 annual) and Unlimited at $2,999 ($2,399 annual) up to 300 senders. Expandi sends email follow-ups inside the sequence; HeyReach sends no email and hands leads to Instantly or Smartlead. Buy Expandi for a few high-value accounts that need email and deep branching. Buy HeyReach once you run ten or more LinkedIn profiles or work for clients.

Quick verdict

Who each tool is for

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

Pick Expandi

One to about eight LinkedIn accounts that each matter: a founder, senior AEs, a recruiter. You get If/Action branching, email follow-ups in the same sequence and the Mobile Connector campaign that Expandi says adds up to 100 connection requests a week, for $79 an account on annual billing.

Pick HeyReach

Ten or more LinkedIn profiles, or any client work. The $799 annual Agency block covers 25 senders with white label and one inbox, about $32 a profile, against $1,975 for the same 25 seats on Expandi. Budget your own residential proxies and a separate email tool.

Pick AutoMail

LinkedIn is handled and email is the channel that should book meetings. The AI researches each company, writes the opener and follow-ups for that prospect, warms and rotates your own inboxes, pauses on reply and routes interested answers to your booking link. Flat per workspace from $24 a month annual, unlimited seats.

Buyers shortlist these two when LinkedIn outreach is becoming serious enough to pay for, and the vendors make the choice harder by publishing comparison pages about each other. Both run campaigns on their own servers instead of a browser tab, both tie each LinkedIn account to a dedicated IP address, and both warn you about LinkedIn limits. The difference is who they were built for. Expandi is built around one account at a time: conditional If/Action sequences, profile warm-up, limit ranges and email follow-ups in the same campaign. HeyReach is built around many accounts at once: sender rotation across a campaign, one unified inbox for every profile and client workspaces under one login.

The pricing follows the design. Expandi publishes a Business plan at $99 per LinkedIn account a month, or $79 on annual billing, which it describes as 20 percent off. Its Agency option starts at ten seats, shows the same $99 and $79 per seat on the page, and adds roles, client reports and white label on a sales call. HeyReach Growth is $79 per sender a month, $71 on quarterly billing and $63 on annual. After that it stops counting seats: Agency is $999 a month for 25 senders ($899 quarterly, $799 annual) with white label included, and Unlimited is $2,999 a month ($2,699 quarterly, $2,399 annual) under a 300-sender fair-use cap. Both pages were read in October 2026.

Two details change the real bill. HeyReach Agency and Unlimited require you to bring your own residential proxies, while Growth includes a dedicated proxy per sender. And HeyReach has no email step at all, so anyone who wants email in the sequence pays for a second tool. Expandi includes email follow-ups from a mailbox you connect, which covers a light second touch but is not a cold email system with rotation and warm-up. Neither tool writes the messages for you, which is the gap AutoMail fills on the email side.

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 HeyReach, answered

HeyReach is better for agencies and teams running ten or more LinkedIn accounts, because $799 a month on annual Agency covers 25 senders with white label and one inbox. Expandi is better for a few accounts that each matter, because it adds If/Action branching, email follow-ups and the Mobile Connector campaign for $79 an account a month on annual billing.
Count the LinkedIn profiles you will run in six months. Under about ten, and no client work, buy Expandi or HeyReach Growth on features: Expandi for branching and email steps, HeyReach for the unified inbox and rotation. Ten or more, or any client accounts, buy HeyReach Agency, because flat blocks of 25 senders cost far less than ten-plus Expandi seats.
HeyReach, at every published size. One account is $63 a month annual on HeyReach Growth against $79 on Expandi. Five accounts are $315 against $395. At 25 accounts the gap is large: $799 on HeyReach Agency against $1,975 at Expandi's published seat price, before any custom Expandi discount and before you buy proxies for HeyReach.
For most agencies, yes. HeyReach was designed around client work: separate workspaces per client, a unified inbox across every sender, white label included on Agency and free logins for clients and VAs. Expandi has white label too, but only on its Agency plan, which starts at ten seats and is priced on a sales call.
Expandi Business is $99 per LinkedIn account a month, or $79 a month on annual billing, which Expandi calls 20 percent off. The Agency plan starts at ten seats, shows the same per-seat price on the page and adds roles, client reports and white label on a sales call. Image, GIF and video personalization cost extra.
Growth is $79 per LinkedIn sender a month, $71 quarterly and $63 annually. Agency is $999 a month for 25 senders, $899 quarterly and $799 annually, with white label. Unlimited is $2,999 a month, $2,699 quarterly and $2,399 annually, capped at 300 senders. Agency and Unlimited need your own residential proxies.
No. HeyReach is LinkedIn only and passes leads to Instantly or Smartlead through native two-way integrations, or to other tools through webhooks, Zapier or Make. Expandi can send email follow-ups from a mailbox you connect to each LinkedIn account, inside the same campaign, which is enough for a light second touch.
You can, but few teams should. Both automate the same LinkedIn actions, and running two tools on one profile doubles the activity LinkedIn sees against the same weekly limits. The usual split is by account: high-value profiles on Expandi, a pool of SDR or client profiles on HeyReach, with one email tool behind both.
They use the same core protections: cloud sending, a dedicated IP or proxy per account and configurable daily limits. Expandi adds profile auto warm-up and limit ranges; HeyReach spreads volume across many senders so each stays low. LinkedIn prohibits third-party automation either way, and sending above the usual weekly limit raises the risk.
No. Both give you templates and personalization variables, and you write the messages. AutoMail does that job for the email channel: it researches each company, writes the opener and every follow-up for that prospect, sends from your warmed inboxes with rotation, and stops the thread the moment someone replies.
