People look past Waalaxy when the monthly invitation count becomes the limit, or when email and an inbox have to be bought as extras. The alternatives below include small European vendors, cloud and desktop tools, agency-priced products and one lead exporter.
Short answer: Looking for a replacement for Waalaxy? Expandi, Skylead and La Growth Machine come first in our linkedin automation tool ranking. Smaller vendors fill the top three places where the category offers them, and the household names start at place 4. Start with Expandi if you want a named Dutch company and branching sequences on one plan. Every one of the 11 products below comes from Best LinkedIn Automation Tools in 2026, with a note on how it departs from Waalaxy.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Pricing: Published monthly plans per user with quarterly and yearly discounts; 14-day trial; Enterprise quoted
Established in: Not stated by the vendor
Built for: Small sales teams starting outreach who want published plans and a trial
Not for: Agencies running many client accounts at high monthly volume
01
Why buyers look past Waalaxy
01
Quotas are counted in invitations, and Pro stops at 300
Waalaxy's pricing page gives Pro 300 LinkedIn invitations a month, Advanced 800 and Business 800, at €19, €49 and €69 monthly per user. The FAQ puts the ceiling at 800 new connection requests a month. A team that wants more reach per seat, or reach that is not measured in invitations, meets that ceiling before it meets any feature wall.
02
Email and the inbox cost extra or need the top plan
Cold email sequences, multiple sender accounts and multichannel campaigns start on Business at €69. Pro and Advanced carry 25 email finder credits a month against 500 on Business. The LinkedIn inbox is an optional add-on at €20 a month. Someone who wants email next to LinkedIn pays for the most expensive tier or accepts a second tool.
03
The risk of LinkedIn restrictions stays with you
Article 22c of the terms says SAS Waapi cannot be held liable for a restriction or suspension of your LinkedIn account, and notes that LinkedIn's own terms may restrict automation. The terms say LinkedIn is reached through a specialised service provider and point to a separate policy for hosting, which we did not read. Buyers who need to document where prospect data goes should ask first.
your problem is building clean lead lists, not sending sequences

What each one does differently

Expandi
Netherlands · Published
ProfitSoft B.V. of Eindhoven is named in Expandi's privacy policy, with no parent company mentioned. A single Business plan carries unlimited campaigns, and the 7-day trial opens every feature. Smart Sequences let a campaign branch, combining ten actions with ten conditions. Video or GIF personalisation costs extra, and teams of ten or more are pushed to an agency plan whose price is unclear.
Switch from Waalaxy if you want a named Dutch company and branching sequences on one plan.
Skylead Technologies Ltd is incorporated in the United Kingdom and sells one All-in-one plan at a per-seat monthly price. LinkedIn steps and email sit in the same sequence, with unlimited email accounts and 100,000 emails a month. Paying annually covers ten months of twelve. The trial lasts seven days, and agency seats are offered as first-year promotions, so later cost needs a question.
Switch from Waalaxy if email should join LinkedIn steps without moving up to a top tier.
Plans are counted in identities rather than seats and billed in euros, with a 14-day trial. Basic runs three active campaigns, Pro six and Ultimate removes the cap, so the ceiling is campaigns where Waalaxy's is invitations. The vendor says each identity gets a dedicated 5G mobile connection from the cloud. No legal entity or address appears on the pages we read.
Switch from Waalaxy if you want multichannel sequences priced per identity in euros.
Esterson Limited, a Cyprus company with a correspondence address in Nicosia, operates Closely. Plans are priced by how many LinkedIn accounts you connect (one, three or five), with 40% off for annual billing, and email accounts are unlimited throughout. Contact limits and trial length are not published, so volume has to be tested before committing to a year.
Switch from Waalaxy if you outgrow one seat and want pricing by connected account.
Octopus CRM puts four monthly tiers on its homepage, Starter to Unlimited, with a 7-day trial that needs no card. Two sets of prices are shown without saying which is monthly and which annual, and plan limits are not given as numbers. Its FAQ quotes LinkedIn's allowance of up to 100 connection requests a week, a useful yardstick for any quota.
Switch from Waalaxy if you only need basic invitations and messages from a low entry tier.
Terms that follow Australian law and no stated address sit behind Meet Alfred, which runs from cloud servers so no browser extension is involved. It reaches beyond LinkedIn to X, email, Facebook and Instagram. Prices are per user on annual billing in three currencies. Individual covers LinkedIn alone, and native Salesforce and HubSpot links start at the Teams plan.
Switch from Waalaxy if one tool should post across LinkedIn, X and email from the cloud.
We-Connect Systems LLC is named in the terms under Delaware law, and seats are billed annually across Growth and Professional, with a Scale tier marked as coming soon. It syncs to Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Zoho CRM and scores leads from 0 to 100. Email enrichment is charged only when an email is found. The agency plan starts at ten seats.
Switch from Waalaxy if CRM sync and lead scoring matter more than the lowest price.
Two builds exist: a desktop app on your own Mac or Windows machine, and a cloud version on Dux-Soup's infrastructure that costs more per seat. Both run unlimited campaigns under built-in daily limits and auto-snooze, though no numeric caps are given. The pricing page mentions no trial, and the footer names no company, address or owner.
Switch from Waalaxy if you want to choose between local running and a managed cloud.
Linked Helper is a desktop application with storage kept locally or in the cloud on United States servers. One list price per licence is prepaid for terms of one to twelve months, and one-time licences exist alongside. The Standard plan holds advanced actions to roughly ten to twenty a day. The 14-day trial asks for no card and only a Delaware address is given.
Switch from Waalaxy if you would rather own a licence than rent a monthly quota.
HeyReach is built around senders, not invitations: pricing is per sender, with flat agency tiers for 25 or 50 senders and an Unlimited tier carrying a fair-use cap of 300. Teammates, VAs and clients cost nothing extra, and no seat or lead limit is listed. Instantly, Smartlead and EmailBison connect natively. Its privacy policy calls it EU-based without giving an address.
Switch from Waalaxy if you run many client accounts and want to pay per sender.
Evaboot exports Sales Navigator searches with verified emails, so it replaces only the list-building half of what Waalaxy does. Credit packs vary by month, each export is capped at 2,500 leads or 1,000 companies, and the Chrome extension carries the main workflow. An API offers export, enrich, find and verify endpoints. No trial or company details appear on the pages read.
Switch from Waalaxy if your problem is building clean lead lists, not sending sequences.
Expandi: ProfitSoft B.V. in Eindhoven is named in the privacy policy, and one Business plan comes with a 7-day trial that includes every feature.
02
You want email in the same sequence without paying for a top tier
Skylead: The All-in-one plan lists unlimited email accounts and 100,000 emails a month, with a 7-day trial.
03
You want multichannel sequences billed in euros per identity
La Growth Machine: Plans count identities rather than seats, run on a 14-day trial, and Basic allows three active campaigns.
04
You run LinkedIn outreach for several clients
HeyReach: Pricing is per sender, flat tiers cover 25 or 50 senders, and teammates, VAs and clients are not charged.
05
You would rather run the tool on your own machine
Linked Helper: It is a desktop application with prepaid terms of one to twelve months, one-time licences and a 14-day trial without a card.
04
When Waalaxy is still the right choice
Waalaxy is a sound choice when invitations are the main unit of work and the budget is small. Unlimited campaigns, pre-built sequence templates and CRM sync come on every plan, HubSpot and Pipedrive link directly, and Make, Zapier and n8n reach more than 2,000 apps. The publisher is SAS Waapi in Montpellier under French law, the trial lasts 14 days on each plan, and yearly billing is listed at 50% below the monthly price. Teams of five or more can ask for Enterprise, so a company already inside its quota has little reason to move.
05
What moving off Waalaxy involves
01
Export lists and sequence logic first
Download prospect lists as CSV, which every plan supports, and write out each campaign's steps, delays and message text. Another tool will not import Waalaxy sequences, so the written copy is what you rebuild from.
02
Run both tools through one billing period
Keep Waalaxy active until the new account has sent a full week of invitations and replies are visible. Annual billing at Waalaxy cannot be cut short, since cancelling only stops renewal and access ends with the period.
03
Rewire CRM links and warm up gradually
Reconnect HubSpot, Pipedrive or Zapier flows in the new tool and raise daily volume in steps rather than copying the old pace on day one.

Questions about replacing Waalaxy
7 answers
Which tool ranks first among Waalaxy alternatives?
Expandi ranks first in our list. It is operated by ProfitSoft B.V. in Eindhoven, sells one Business plan with unlimited campaigns and a 7-day trial that includes every feature, and lets a sequence branch on conditions.
Skylead and La Growth Machine follow, both adding email or other channels to LinkedIn.
Who should I choose if Waalaxy's 800 invitations a month are not enough?
The tools above count differently. HeyReach charges per sender with flat agency tiers, Closely prices by connected LinkedIn account, and Skylead and Expandi list unlimited campaigns on a single plan.
None of them can lift LinkedIn's own limit, which Octopus CRM's FAQ puts at up to 100 connection requests a week.
Is there an alternative to Waalaxy that sends email as well?
Skylead combines LinkedIn steps with email and lists unlimited email accounts and 100,000 emails a month.
Meet Alfred adds X, Facebook and Instagram, La Growth Machine runs multichannel sequences, and Closely allows unlimited email accounts on every plan. Waalaxy itself needs Business at €69 for cold email.
Which alternative runs on my own computer?
Linked Helper is a desktop application with local or cloud storage and licences that can be bought once or prepaid for one to twelve months.
Dux-Soup offers a desktop build for Mac or Windows next to a cloud build. Both differ from Waalaxy, whose pages we read do not describe where it runs.
What about agencies running several LinkedIn accounts?
HeyReach prices per sender, offers flat tiers for 25 or 50 senders, and does not charge teammates, VAs or clients.
Closely sells plans for one, three or five accounts. Expandi points teams of ten or more to an agency plan, and We-Connect has a custom agency plan from ten seats.
Can any of these replace Waalaxy's email finder?
Evaboot exports Sales Navigator searches with verified emails on credit packs, and We-Connect charges enrichment only when an email is found.
Waalaxy itself gives 25 credits a month on Pro and Advanced and 500 on Business, so Evaboot suits a team that mostly needs that half.
Which Waalaxy alternative has a European operator?
Expandi names ProfitSoft B.V. in Eindhoven, Skylead is run by a UK company, and Closely by Esterson Limited in Cyprus. Waalaxy itself is published by SAS Waapi in Montpellier. La Growth Machine bills in euros, though the pages we read name no legal entity.
