HeyReach vs Waalaxy: Which LinkedIn Outreach Tool Fits Your Use Case?

HeyReach and Waalaxy sit at opposite ends of LinkedIn outreach. Waalaxy is a simple, low-priced tool for individuals and small teams, starting at EUR 19 per user a month. HeyReach is built for agencies and teams that run many LinkedIn accounts ("senders") in one campaign, starting at $79 per sender a month.

Pick Waalaxy if you are one person or a small team watching budget. Pick HeyReach if you manage many accounts, clients or a white label offer.

HeyReach vs Waalaxy at a glance

What each tool does

HeyReach in brief

HeyReach describes itself as a LinkedIn automation tool for agencies, sales teams and growth teams. You add LinkedIn accounts to one campaign and HeyReach rotates between them, with every reply landing in one unified inbox. Its help center puts the idea plainly: "The only way to do this is to scale by the number of senders."

Campaign steps include connection requests, messages, InMails, profile views, follows, post likes and voice notes (in beta). Every paid plan lists API access, webhooks, workspaces and an MCP server. HeyReach does not send email.

You can start a HeyReach trial with 3 LinkedIn accounts and no card.

Waalaxy in brief

Waalaxy calls itself a "simple LinkedIn outreach tool" that finds prospects, sends messages and follows up automatically. Every plan lists unlimited campaigns, pre-built sequences, automated follow-ups, CSV import and export, and imports from LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite. Waalaxy says it is "Trusted by 200,000+" users (Waalaxy's figure).

Plans differ mainly by invite volume and channels. Pro allows 300 LinkedIn invites a month, Advanced and Business allow 800, and Business adds cold email sequences plus 500 email finder credits. Waalaxy names HubSpot and Pipedrive integrations and connectors for Make, Zapier and n8n.

Pricing compared (as of November 2026)

HeyReach pricing

Users are free on HeyReach; you pay per connected LinkedIn account. Growth includes a dedicated residential proxy per sender. Agency and Unlimited require your own proxies, and HeyReach does not publish that cost.

Our HeyReach pricing guide covers each tier, the trial and the add-ons.

Waalaxy pricing

Waalaxy's page shows a quarterly option at 20% off and a yearly option at 50% off, but the discounted amounts were not listed in the content we could read. The LinkedIn Inbox is an add-on, listed at EUR 20 a month in the pricing FAQ, with 500 free conversations. Waalaxy's agency page says discounts start at 5 licenses, without publishing them.

Cost by number of LinkedIn accounts

This is list-price arithmetic on monthly billing. HeyReach prices in US dollars and Waalaxy in euros, so we show each in its own currency and do not convert.

The math is ours, from published prices. It leaves out Waalaxy's unpublished volume discounts, the Waalaxy Inbox add-on, HeyReach's proxy cost on Agency plans and the separate email tool HeyReach needs.

Even with those caveats, the shape is clear. Waalaxy costs less at 1 to 9 accounts, and Waalaxy Pro at EUR 19 is far below anything HeyReach sells. From 25 accounts up, HeyReach's bundles cost less per account on list price.

Invite volume and stated limits

The two vendors describe volume differently. Waalaxy sells a monthly invite allowance: 300 on Pro and 800 on Advanced and Business. HeyReach sets caps per sender: 40 connection requests a day at most (default 25) and 200 a week.

By our arithmetic, 200 a week over four weeks is about 800, so the two top-end figures are in the same range per account. HeyReach's help center also says it pauses a sender when LinkedIn stops accepting requests, which HeyReach calls Cooldown Mode.

None of these are LinkedIn's numbers. HeyReach's help center says LinkedIn does not publicly disclose its weekly connection request limit and that it is set per account. A plan that allows 800 invites a month does not mean every LinkedIn account can send that many.

Where HeyReach differs is how it adds volume. Each account stays within its own limits, and total volume comes from the number of accounts in the campaign. Our guide to the LinkedIn connection request limit explains what is and is not published.

How each tool runs

HeyReach connects accounts by cookies or credentials and runs them from its own servers through a proxy assigned to each account, so your browser does not need to stay open (per its help center's description of how accounts connect). On Growth, HeyReach supplies a dedicated residential proxy per sender, and says it "never shares that IP between two accounts."

Waalaxy's pricing page does not say how the product runs, though it links a Chrome Web Store listing. A Waalaxy blog post, updated November 7, 2025, describes Waalaxy Cloud as launching your LinkedIn account on a server so actions continue when Chrome is closed. It says Cloud is included and mandatory on Advanced and Business subscriptions and during trials.

That post does not state whether the Pro plan includes Cloud. It also says each user is assigned a fixed IP with a maximum of 5 users per IP. We state these as each vendor's description, not as a ranking of which setup is less likely to be restricted.

Multi-sender campaigns, teams and agencies

HeyReach's team and agency features are the main reason to pay its higher entry price:

• An unlimited number of senders in one campaign, with rotation.
• Separate workspaces per client and a shared pool of sender seats.
• A Master View with stats and inbox across every workspace.
• Free users, plus Admin and Member roles with per-feature permissions.
• White label on Agency and Unlimited, with your own domain and sign-in page.

White label has trade-offs in HeyReach. White label accounts cannot use the native Instantly and Smartlead integrations, and setup is done by HeyReach's team on request. The full HeyReach review covers these in detail.

Waalaxy supports teams and agencies in a lighter way. Its site lists roles and permissions, team dashboards, shared prospect lists and a rule to never message the same prospect twice. Its agency page says each client gets a dedicated account within your workspace, that Admins see all accounts while Members see their own, and that seats can be swapped between members at no cost.

Two gaps matter for agencies. Waalaxy's agency FAQ says it does not offer white label, and the pages we read do not mention rotating several accounts inside one campaign. All team members must also share the same subscription level and billing cycle.

Email, inbox and integrations

If you want LinkedIn and email in one subscription, Waalaxy Business is the simpler route. HeyReach expects you to pair it with a dedicated email tool, which suits teams that already run serious email volume. Our best cold email software roundup and cold email infrastructure guide cover that side.

LinkedIn's rules apply to both

LinkedIn's User Agreement restricts bots and other automated methods for adding contacts and sending messages, and LinkedIn's help center has a page on prohibited software and extensions. Our research tools could not open LinkedIn's pages, so we paraphrase and link them in the sources instead of quoting them. Neither HeyReach nor Waalaxy is approved by LinkedIn.

HeyReach says this directly. It states that LinkedIn's User Agreement bans software that automates connecting and messaging, and that it is not associated with or endorsed by LinkedIn. It also says LinkedIn removed its company page and restricted four executives' profiles in March 2026, and that customer accounts were not affected.

No tool is risk-free. Waalaxy says it is "built with LinkedIn limits and account safety in mind," and HeyReach says its limits and dedicated proxies reduce risk, but no vendor can promise an account will not be restricted. The decision and the risk sit with the account owner.

Who should choose which

Choose HeyReach if:

• You run many LinkedIn accounts and want them in one campaign with one inbox.
• You are an agency that needs client workspaces and white label.
• You want API, webhooks and an MCP server on every paid plan.
• You already send email from Instantly or Smartlead.
• You run 25 or more accounts, where bundle pricing lowers the cost per account.

Choose Waalaxy if:

• You are a solo founder, freelancer or small team with one account each.
• Price is the main factor and 300 to 800 invites a month is enough.
• You want LinkedIn and email in one subscription (Business).
• You want Pipedrive listed among the integrations.
• You do not need white label or client workspaces.

If neither fits, our HeyReach alternatives guide compares more tools by use case. If you would rather outsource the channel, see our LinkedIn lead generation services.

Limits on each side

• HeyReach: no email sending; entry price well above Waalaxy's; Agency and Unlimited need your own proxies; "Unlimited" is capped at 300 senders; enrichment credits are one-time; no native Pipedrive or Salesforce integration listed; fees are non-refundable per its terms.
• Waalaxy: monthly invite caps by plan; cold email only on Business; API only from Advanced; the Inbox is a paid add-on; no white label; Enterprise and discounted prices not published; a fixed IP may be shared by up to 5 users, per Waalaxy's own description.

Our take

Most people comparing these two should start with a headcount. With 1 to 5 LinkedIn accounts and no clients to manage, Waalaxy does the job for less money, and its Business plan adds email without a second tool.

Once you manage accounts for clients, or a team of 10 or more, the things Waalaxy lacks start to cost time: one campaign across many senders, client workspaces and white label. That is the point where it makes sense to compare HeyReach's plans.

Rather not build the list yourself?

Nerdy Joe is owned by Agency Growth Partners (AGP), and AGP builds verified lists and runs outbound for agencies. If you would rather hand off the list building and sending, book a call with David.

Verdict

HeyReach vs Waalaxy is a choice between scale and simplicity. For a low-cost start on one or a few accounts, Waalaxy fits. For many accounts, agency workspaces and white label, try HeyReach.

Both offer 14-day trials, so test each on a real list before paying. Read our complete HeyReach review to match a plan to your sender count, then start the HeyReach trial with up to 3 accounts.
