The best HeyReach alternatives for agencies in 2026 are Cadency, Skylead, Salesflow, Expandi, MeetAlfred, La Growth Machine, lemlist and Dux-Soup. Cadency and Skylead compete with HeyReach on its own ground, one campaign spread across a pool of senders with a shared inbox, Cadency costs less at 25 accounts and Skylead ties HeyReach's $999. Salesflow publishes a per-seat ladder, Expandi sells a quoted agency tier on top of per-seat Shared Campaigns and a Global Inbox, MeetAlfred and La Growth Machine add channels, lemlist anchors on email, and Dux-Soup is the per-seat option with one dashboard for client accounts.
HeyReach's figures below were read on heyreach.io/pricing on 24 October 2026, and every other vendor's numbers on its own pricing page the same day, monthly billing unless marked. The lens throughout is agency scale: not what one seat costs, but what a roster of 25 or 50 client accounts costs, and who controls the brand the client sees.
What does HeyReach cost in 2026?
HeyReach prices per LinkedIn sender, then flattens into agency tiers. On 24 October 2026 the page read as follows.
| HeyReach tier | Monthly billing | Annual billing | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth | $79 per sender | $64 per sender | Per-sender pricing under ten accounts |
| Growth, 10 plus senders | $59 per sender | $48 per sender | Rate for every sender once you run ten or more |
| Agency, 25 senders | $999 | $800 | 25 senders |
| Agency, 50 senders | $1,399 | $1,120 | 50 senders |
| Unlimited | $2,999 | $2,399 | 300-seat fair-use pool, done-for-you migration |
Annual billing works out at about 20 percent off every tier. What the money buys is a strong core: rotation across many senders, one unified inbox, white label from the $999 tier, enrichment credits (1,000 at that tier, 3,000 on Unlimited), and an API, webhooks and an MCP server on every plan, which remains unusual. Bring-your-own proxies and a dedicated Slack channel on the upper tiers complete the agency pitch. Our HeyReach review walks the product feature by feature, and the head to head sets Cadency against it line by line.
Why do agencies look for a HeyReach alternative?
The reasons are structural, not bugs, and each alternative below removes one of them.
- The per-sender rate under ten accounts. A five-client agency pays five times $79, or $395 a month, and the $59 volume rate only kicks in at the tenth sender. Two or three small clients cost more per seat than a single large one.
- No prospect data inside the tool. Audiences come from a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search, imported directly, or from a data vendor as a CSV, for every client, every campaign.
- Email is outsourced. Email steps hand off to Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison rather than sending natively. That is a second subscription, a second warm-up regime and a second inbox to reconcile in client reports.
Against that, the flat tiers and the included white label are real strengths. An alternative has to beat HeyReach on something specific, and the table below shows where each one tries.
How do the HeyReach alternatives compare?
Every vendor as read on 24 October 2026, monthly billing unless marked.
| Tool | Entry price a month | Agency or flat tier | White label |
|---|---|---|---|
| HeyReach | $79 per sender, $64 on yearly billing | $999 for 25 senders, $1,399 for 50 | From the $999 tier |
| Cadency | $89 for 2 LinkedIn senders, $39 each after | $699 for 20 senders, $25 each after | On request: your brand and domain, scoped on a call with sales |
| Skylead | $100 per account | $999 for 25 seats (first-year promotion), $1,999 unlimited; read 24 October 2026 | On the agency plans |
| Salesflow | $99 per seat, ladder down to $24.99 | About $1,500 at 50 seats | Branded UI on every plan, custom URL from Pro |
| Expandi | $99 per account, $79 annual; read 24 October 2026 | Quoted Agency tier from 10 seats | On Agency |
| MeetAlfred | $59 to $99 per user, $35 to $59 annual | Teams at $79 per seat, $47 annual, 3-seat minimum; read 24 October 2026 | On Teams and Unlimited |
| La Growth Machine | 60 EUR (about $70) per identity | Agency offer, 6 identity minimum | Not advertised |
| lemlist | $109 per user with LinkedIn, $87 annual | Enterprise, quoted | Not advertised |
| Dux-Soup | $55 per seat, $41.25 annual | Cloud at $99 per seat, $74.17 annual; 10% off per 10 seats on yearly plans, up to 50% | Not advertised |
Only HeyReach and Skylead publish a genuinely flat agency price. Cadency publishes a base plus a per-sender add-on, Salesflow publishes a ladder, Dux-Soup publishes a per-seat price with a volume discount, and the rest quote or bill per seat all the way up. Once a client roster passes twenty accounts, that structural difference is worth more than any entry price.
Which HeyReach alternatives are best for agencies?
1. Cadency
Disclosure first: Cadency is our product, and it is on this list because it is the closest architectural match to HeyReach. One campaign runs across every LinkedIn sender and every mailbox in the pool, one sender per lead, and every conversation lands in a single inbox where a teammate can be assigned and can reply as any sender. Only conversations started from Cadency are tracked, so the rest of a rep's LinkedIn inbox stays private, which matters when the senders are client accounts.
It removes two of the three HeyReach frictions directly. Email is native: Google and Microsoft mailboxes with warm-up, unlimited mailboxes rotated inside the same campaign as the LinkedIn senders, 100,000 emails a month on Essential and Small Team and 500,000 on Scale. Data is native too: a B2B database for people and company search, waterfall enrichment across several providers paid per verified hit, plus CSV and Sales Navigator imports for agencies that already have lists. LinkedIn coverage runs to eight steps, profile visit, connection request, message, InMail, a comment on the lead's last post that is AI drafted and waits for your approval, voice note, like and follow, with branching on connected, replied or email found, waits and A/B splits. Safety is per sender: individual ceilings, pacing, a dedicated proxy for each account, checkpoint handling, all cloud based with nothing running from a browser. Agencies that need extra reach can add ambassador accounts, vetted LinkedIn profiles operated on demand.
Pricing, monthly billing with 30 percent off on annual terms: Essential is $89 a month with 2 LinkedIn senders included and $39 per additional sender; Small Team is $199 a month with 5 LinkedIn senders included and $39 per additional sender; Scale is $699 with 20 senders included, $25 per additional sender, upgrades to 1M emails (+$200) and 2M (+$500), and priority support. On annual billing the plans drop to $62, $139 and $489. Teammates and workspaces are unlimited on every plan, so one workspace per client costs nothing extra, and the API and webhooks are on every plan, with any CRM or ATS connected through them.
The honest fleet math against HeyReach's 24 October 2026 prices:
- One sender: HeyReach wins on monthly billing, $79 against Cadency's $89 Essential plan. Essential includes two senders, so from the second sender Cadency's $89 beats HeyReach's $158.
- Five senders: Cadency's $199 against HeyReach's $395.
- 25 senders: Scale plus five add-ons is $824 against HeyReach's $999 Agency plan for 25 senders ($800 a month on yearly billing).
- 50 senders: Scale plus 30 add-ons is $1,449 against HeyReach's $1,399 Agency tier, so HeyReach edges it on monthly billing at 49 and 50 senders, and the two tie at 48.
Where HeyReach still wins: a white label priced on its pricing page, bring-your-own proxies, done-for-you migration on Unlimited, and the single-seat entry price. Cadency's white label is on request rather than priced on the page: your brand and your own domain, scoped on a call with sales, next to unlimited client workspaces and teammates. Every plan is self-serve, with a free trial on Essential and none on Small Team or Scale: start a free trial, or talk to sales to scope a larger fleet, and the agency page covers the client-workspace model in more depth.
2. Skylead
Skylead is the bundle. At $100 per account a month it includes unlimited connected email accounts with warm-up, an email finder and verifier, image and GIF personalization, and smart sequences with if and else branches that react to what a lead does. It runs in the cloud and offers a 7 day trial. The agency headline is the white-label pricing: as read on skylead.io on 24 October 2026, $999 a month for 25 seats as a first-year promotion or $1,999 for unlimited seats, which matches the price of HeyReach's 25-sender tier rather than beating it. Annual billing gives two months free. Versus HeyReach, Skylead sends email natively where HeyReach hands it off; the trade is a smaller ecosystem, and we found no MCP documented on its pricing page, only API integration and webhooks.
3. Salesflow
Salesflow is the vendor that prints its ladder. Per seat: $99 for one, $70 from 5, $39.95 from 20, $29.98 from 50 and $24.99 from 100, with the larger tiers on annual commitments billed monthly. A branded UI ships on every plan and the white-label login URL arrives from Pro, API access is included everywhere, and the unified inbox covers LinkedIn and Sales Navigator conversations. Two things to know before booking: the 7-day free trial (no card) is shown on Basic, which starts at one seat but takes any number at $99 each, and every plan on the pricing page, Basic included, is bought through "Book a demo". At 50 seats the ladder lands near $1,500 a month, above HeyReach's $1,399 Agency tier and below Skylead's $1,999 unlimited-seat plan, since Skylead publishes no 50-seat tier. Six-month terms take 15 percent off and twelve months take 30.
4. Expandi
Expandi is the mature per-account tool. It lists $99 per LinkedIn account a month, $79 on annual terms with 20 percent off, a 7 day trial, and a quoted Agency tier from 10 seats that bundles volume pricing, white label, roles, client-facing reports and a dedicated CSM. Workspaces, a Global Inbox across accounts and Shared Campaigns come with every plan, and teammates add no seats. Warm-up and a dedicated country-based IP per account are automatic, daily limit ranges are yours to set, email runs natively over SMTP, and its personalized images and GIFs, sold as a paid add-on through Hyperise, remain the feature other agencies copy. The gap against HeyReach is the missing published flat tier: the agency math depends entirely on the quote. Our comparison covers what years of edge-case handling look like in practice.
5. MeetAlfred
MeetAlfred runs LinkedIn, email and X from one sequence on Business and Teams, while Individual is LinkedIn only, and its X campaigns were still marked "under maintenance" in the help centre on 24 October 2026. As read on 24 October 2026, it prices per user a month: Individual at $59, Teams at $79 a seat and Business at $99 on monthly billing, or $35, $47 and $59 on annual billing. A second LinkedIn account in one workspace needs Teams, which starts at 3 seats, or the custom Unlimited tier. White label, roles and permissions, a dedicated account manager and priority support come only with Teams and Unlimited, and Unlimited adds volume pricing and hands-on migration. Two constraints to price in: imports cap at 1,000 profiles per LinkedIn search URL and 2,500 per Sales Navigator search, and per-user pricing means fifty client accounts is fifty Teams seats, $3,950 a month on monthly billing or $2,350 on annual. It earns a place for clients who want LinkedIn and email in one flow, and X too if its campaigns return from maintenance; for LinkedIn-first work the tools above go deeper. Our MeetAlfred alternatives guide takes it entry by entry.
6. La Growth Machine
La Growth Machine is the multichannel boutique. It prices per identity: 60 EUR a month on Basic (about $70), 120 EUR on Pro, which adds calls, and 180 EUR on Ultimate, the only tier with a native X channel in the sequence. LinkedIn voice messages ship on every plan, sequences branch on real if and else conditions, and each tier includes enrichment for 250 to 1,000 leads a month. The agency offer starts at a 6 identity minimum, with a separate custom plan from 150 EUR. Against HeyReach, we found no flat tier and no white-label option on its pricing page, which is why it suits boutique agencies more than volume shops.
7. lemlist
lemlist is the email-first suite. Its deliverability tooling, warm-up and unified inbox are strong, and the Email plan, priced per workspace by volume from $69 a month for 50,000 emails, comes with unlimited users. The catch for a LinkedIn-led agency: LinkedIn automation starts on the Multichannel tier at $109 per user a month ($87 annual), with one LinkedIn account per seat; InMail works only from a LinkedIn Premium sender, and post comments are AI-drafted tasks that you approve before they are published. Choose it when clients buy email campaigns with LinkedIn as the warm touch, not the other way round. Our comparison has the full matchup.
8. Dux-Soup
Dux-Soup, now sold as STACKED, is the per-seat agency option with one dashboard. As read on dux-soup.com on 24 October 2026, its cloud edition is $99 a month per seat, or $74.17 billed annually, with flexible metered seats above 5 and a volume discount of 10% off per 10 seats on yearly plans, up to 50%. Its agency page describes unlimited client accounts on one dashboard, a shared inbox, team access management and client reports. The product has run since 2015 with a claimed 300,000+ users, and its local desktop edition starts at $55 a month ($41.25 on annual terms). The older Pro Dux tier is gone, and the $371 five-seat cloud package now lives on only in the help centre as the Flexible Seat cloud plan: 5 prepaid seats for $371 a month, then $74.25 per extra seat. The framing that matters: we found no campaign rotation across a sender pool documented on its pricing or agency pages, so treat it as client campaigns managed side by side, not multi-sender orchestration.
What do 50 client accounts cost on each tool?
Agencies compare entry prices and then sign at a scale where the entry price is irrelevant. Here is one 50-account roster priced on each vendor's cheapest published route, monthly billing.
| Tool | 50 accounts a month | Route to 50 |
|---|---|---|
| HeyReach | $1,399, $1,120 on yearly billing | Agency plan, 50 senders, read 24 October 2026 |
| Cadency | $1,449 | Scale at $699 with 20 senders, plus 30 senders at $25 |
| Salesflow | About $1,500 | $29.98 per seat from 50, annual commitment |
| Dux-Soup | $2,062.50 | Flexible Seat STACKED local plan: 10 prepaid seats for $412.50 plus 40 extra seats at $41.25, monthly billing (50 Fixed seats would be $2,750; the up-to-50% volume tiers apply to yearly Fixed plans only, $300 a seat a year at 41 to 50 seats) |
| Skylead | $1,999 | Unlimited-seat agency plan at a first-year promotional price, no 50-seat tier published, read 24 October 2026 |
| MeetAlfred | $3,950, $2,350 annual | Teams tier, 50 seats at $79 ($47 annual), read 24 October 2026 |
| Expandi | Quote | Agency tier, 10 seat minimum |
| La Growth Machine | Quote, from 150 EUR terms | Agency offer, 6 identity minimum |
Annual terms reshuffle the table. HeyReach and Expandi take about 20 percent off, Salesflow 15 percent at six months and 30 at twelve, Skylead gives two months free, and Cadency takes 30 percent off the plan base, so Scale becomes $489 before add-ons. Re-run the roster on annual rates before signing, because the ranking between the per-seat ladders and the flat tiers can flip.
Three caveats. Dux-Soup's number is its Flexible Seat price for the local desktop app on monthly billing, since its volume discounts apply only to yearly Fixed plans, and we found no rotation of one campaign across a sender pool documented, so check how it handles fifty accounts before comparing it with a pooled tier. The crossover between Cadency and HeyReach sits between 25 and 50 accounts: at 25, Cadency's $824 beats HeyReach's $999; at 50, HeyReach's $1,399 edges Cadency's $1,449 on monthly billing. And HeyReach's 25 and 50 sender options are two sizes of one Agency plan (its help centre still names them Micro agency 25 and Agency 50), so an agency growing through that range should check which size its contract follows and what the step between them costs mid-term.
Which tools did not make the list?
Closely came close. It prices per LinkedIn account at $65 for one, $159 for three and $259 for five on monthly billing, dropping to $39, $95 and $155 a month on annual terms, with warm-up and a dedicated residential IP per account. It stayed off because its pricing page was still displaying Black Friday and Christmas promo codes in August, and a stale pricing page is the kind of freshness signal an agency should weigh before wiring client accounts into a tool. Zopto was cut for a harder reason: it closed between 30 December 2025 and 16 January 2026 (an archive capture dated 16 January 2026 shows a closure notice on zopto.com), so there is no current price to publish.
Instantly needs its own note because agencies keep asking. It is an email sending platform, and its own help center lists LinkedIn actions as running through integrations with Aimfox, HeyReach and Valley. Adding LinkedIn to Instantly can therefore mean buying HeyReach anyway. Use it for the email leg if you like it; it does not replace anything above.
What should an agency ask on every demo?
Every demo runs on the happy path. These five questions expose the parts of a deal that only surface in month three, and a vendor worth signing answers them on the call.
- Where exactly does the flat tier stop, and what is the published price of the step from 25 to 50 accounts?
- What does white label mean here: a themed dashboard, a custom login domain, or your brand end to end in client reports?
- When a sender hits its daily ceiling, does that one action pause or does the whole account stop?
- Who supplies the proxies, who pays for them, and is warm-up automatic or a setting someone has to remember?
- On the day you leave, can you export every client's leads, conversations and stats without a support ticket?
A vendor that answers all five without a follow-up call is a vendor you can leave, which is exactly why it is safe to stay. Put the safety questions ahead of the pricing questions: what LinkedIn's user agreement says about automated access applies to your clients' accounts, not yours, and our safety guide explains what per-sender ceilings, pacing and dedicated proxies actually protect against.
Which HeyReach alternative fits which agency?
- LinkedIn-led agency scaling client accounts: Cadency on Scale with per-sender add-ons, or Skylead at $999 flat for 25 seats or $1,999 for unlimited seats (first-year promotional prices), then decide on data, email and safeguards.
- Need seat pricing you can forecast against in a proposal: Salesflow's ladder.
- Clients want three channels in one sequence: MeetAlfred on Business or Teams (its X campaigns are marked under maintenance), or La Growth Machine for the boutique version with calls and X.
- Email is the anchor product and LinkedIn the supporting touch: lemlist.
- Per-seat pricing with one dashboard and a shared inbox for client accounts: Dux-Soup's STACKED cloud.
- Want a quoted agency deal from a long-standing per-account vendor: Expandi.
The wider market beyond agency tools lives in our automation tools hub, and the pricing comparison lets you plug in your own sender count.
The short version
HeyReach set the template for agency LinkedIn outreach, and the template now has competition at every price point. Skylead matches HeyReach's 25-seat flat tier at $999 for the first year and bundles email, with unlimited seats at $1,999 on the same promotion, and Cadency matches its architecture while adding native email and a database, cheaper from two senders through 47, level at 48 and slightly dearer at 49 and 50. Salesflow publishes the ladder others hide. Expandi, MeetAlfred, La Growth Machine and lemlist each remove one constraint, whether channels, data or contract shape, and Dux-Soup sells a per-seat dashboard for agencies that do not need one campaign spread across a sender pool.
Price the roster you will actually run, ask who owns the white label, and put the safety architecture in the first call rather than the last one.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best HeyReach alternative for agencies?
Cadency is the alternative that matches HeyReach's multi-sender architecture and beats its price at 25 accounts. Cadency runs 25 LinkedIn senders for $824 a month on Scale, with native email and a built-in database, against HeyReach's $999 Agency plan for 25 senders. As read on skylead.io on 24 October 2026, Skylead's agency plan ties that $999 at 25 seats as a first-year promotion and bundles email. Salesflow is the pick if you want a published per-seat ladder you can forecast against instead of a flat tier.
Is there a cheaper alternative to HeyReach?
Yes, at most fleet sizes, though not at one sender. HeyReach's $79 Growth seat is cheaper than Cadency's $89 Essential plan at one sender, but Essential includes two, so from the second account Cadency's $89 beats HeyReach's $158. From five senders Cadency's $199 for five beats HeyReach's $395, and at 25 senders Cadency's $824 beats $999. Dux-Soup's STACKED local starts at $41.25 per seat on annual billing ($55 monthly), but it is priced per seat with a volume discount, not as a flat agency tier, so compare it at your real roster size.
Does HeyReach include a prospect database?
No. HeyReach includes a one-time allocation of enrichment credits for finding emails on every plan: 100 per sender on Growth, 1,000 on Agency (25 senders at $999 a month or 50 at $1,399) and 3,000 on Unlimited, with top-ups after that. There is no searchable prospect database inside the product, so every campaign starts from a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search, LinkedIn Recruiter, a LinkedIn event or post, HubSpot or a CSV from a data vendor. Among the alternatives here, Cadency is the one with a native people and company database plus waterfall enrichment, and La Growth Machine bundles a monthly enrichment allowance of 250 to 1,000 leads per plan.
Which HeyReach alternatives send email natively?
Cadency, Skylead, Expandi (over SMTP), MeetAlfred (on Business and Teams), La Growth Machine and lemlist all send email from the same sequence as LinkedIn. HeyReach hands email steps to Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison, which means a second subscription and a second inbox. Cadency rotates unlimited Google and Microsoft mailboxes inside the same campaign as its LinkedIn senders, with 100,000 emails a month on Essential and Small Team and 500,000 on Scale, and one inbox thread per lead across both channels.
How much does HeyReach cost per sender in 2026?
As read on heyreach.io/pricing on 24 October 2026, HeyReach charges $79 per LinkedIn sender a month on Growth, $64 on yearly billing, dropping to $59 a sender from ten senders, $48 on yearly billing. The Agency plan is $999 a month for 25 senders ($800 billed yearly) or $1,399 for 50 senders ($1,120 billed yearly), and Unlimited is $2,999 ($2,399 billed yearly). Annual billing works out at about 20 percent off every tier.
How hard is it to move an agency off HeyReach?
The rebuild is the easy part: sequences are recreated in an afternoon per client and lead lists export as CSV. The operational work is the risk: disconnect each client account from HeyReach before connecting it anywhere else, restart at reduced volume for a few days instead of full pace, and move whatever inbox history your client reporting depends on. Cadency's API and webhooks help agencies automate onboarding, and HeyReach itself offers done-for-you migration on Unlimited.
Ready to run LinkedIn and email from one engine?
Cadency pools every LinkedIn sender and mailbox into one campaign and one inbox. Essential starts at $89 a month with 2 LinkedIn senders and a free trial.
