The seven tools in more detail
1. Salesbot: Czech LinkedIn outreach with AI and MCP
Salesbot is built for B2B teams, founders and agencies that want to manage LinkedIn prospecting with Czech-market context and connect it to AI assistants. It combines lead discovery, campaigns, CRM context, inbox work and approval of AI drafts in one workflow.
The differentiating layer is the MCP server. Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can use natural language to search for leads, prepare campaigns, generate drafts and work with CRM context. Account limits and approval workflows still control sensitive actions.
Price: starts at CZK 590 per month, or CZK 500 per month when billed annually, with a 14-day free trial. Check the current plan details in the Salesbot pricing page.
Consider it if: you sell to Czech or Central European B2B markets, do not want to switch between several tools, and want AI to support real sales work rather than only generate copy.
2. Expandi: established cloud software for LinkedIn sequences
Expandi is one of the better-known specialist LinkedIn automation tools. It offers cloud operation, a dedicated IP, gradual warm-up and sequences for connection requests, messages, InMails and event outreach.
Price: USD 99 per account per month; the annual plan is discounted according to the official pricing page. It is primarily aimed at teams with clearly defined LinkedIn sequences that want detailed campaign configuration.
Consider it if: you need a mature specialist tool for several LinkedIn campaign types and are comfortable with an English-language environment.
3. HeyReach: a strong option for agencies and multiple senders
HeyReach focuses on managing multiple LinkedIn accounts in a team or agency. In addition to campaigns, it offers a unified inbox, workspaces, integrations, API/webhooks and its own MCP server.
Price: the Growth plan starts at USD 79 per sender per month on monthly billing. The agency plan for 25 senders starts at USD 999 per month; confirm details on the official HeyReach pricing page.
Consider it if: you manage client accounts or need multiple senders, separate workspaces and agency-level campaign operations.
4. Waalaxy: an accessible start for LinkedIn prospecting
Waalaxy is known for its simple interface, ready-made sequences and low entry price. It supports campaigns, follow-ups, imports from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, and CRM synchronisation. Higher plans add API access and multichannel email sequences.
Price: Pro starts at EUR 19 per user per month, Advanced at EUR 49 and Business at EUR 69. The Waalaxy pricing page lists a 14-day trial for the plans shown.
Consider it if: you are starting with LinkedIn outreach, want ready-made templates and need a low budget per account.
5. Dripify: sequences, inbox and reporting for sales teams
Dripify combines LinkedIn and email sequences, campaign management, inbox, reporting and team features.
Price: Basic is USD 59, Pro USD 79 and Advanced USD 99 per user per month on monthly billing. Annual prices are lower; compare plans on the official Dripify pricing page.
Consider it if: you want to launch standard sequences quickly and track performance without configuring a custom workflow.
6. La Growth Machine: multichannel outbound beyond LinkedIn
La Growth Machine is useful when LinkedIn is only one channel. It combines LinkedIn, email and, in some plans, calls, contact enrichment, CRM synchronisation and AI copywriting.
Price: Basic starts at EUR 60 per identity per month and Pro at EUR 120. Each identity is billed separately; the La Growth Machine pricing page describes the current enrichment and feature scope.
Consider it if: your strategy requires multichannel sequences and your team already has a structured outbound and CRM process.
7. PhantomBuster: flexible automation and data workflows
PhantomBuster is more than a LinkedIn outreach tool. It is a platform for automation and public-data workflows across multiple platforms. You can build custom processes for discovery, enrichment, exports and follow-up outreach.
Price: Start is USD 69 per month, Grow USD 159 and Scale USD 439. Plans differ mainly in execution time, concurrent automations and credits; see the official PhantomBuster pricing page.
Consider it if: you need flexible data workflows, custom integrations or automation across several platforms.
How to choose a LinkedIn automation tool
- Define the workflow first. Do you need only connection and follow-up sequences, or also research, enrichment, CRM and email?
- Calculate the cost per active sender. A tool costing USD 79 can be inexpensive for one account but much more expensive for a ten-person sales team.
- Check how replies are handled. Inbox, stop-on-reply, human handoff and CRM context matter more to sales outcomes than the number of automated actions.
- Keep account operations conservative. Daily limits, allowed hours, relevant personalisation and approval workflows are essential. No tool can guarantee zero risk of LinkedIn account restrictions.
- Evaluate AI and integrations. If your team uses Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, check whether the product offers real MCP or API capabilities and whether you can use them with appropriate controls.
Which tool is the best?
There is not enough context for one universal answer. Waalaxy can make sense for a low-cost start, Expandi for specialist LinkedIn sequences, HeyReach for agencies and multiple senders, La Growth Machine for multichannel outreach, and PhantomBuster for data-heavy workflows.
If you are a Czech or Central European B2B team that wants to combine LinkedIn automation, CRM context and AI agents through MCP, try Salesbot for 14 days. Before launching a campaign, also review the guide to LinkedIn automation rules, MCP documentation and account-risk controls.
