Dripify alternatives compared: Looply, HeyReach, Expandi, Waalaxy, La Growth Machine, with published prices, LinkedIn limits, email and lead sources.

Direct answer
Dripify is a cloud LinkedIn automation tool that puts LinkedIn steps and email in one sequence, priced per seat. It is the right pick when one person or a small team wants LinkedIn and email in one sequence without managing infrastructure. If it is not, the alternatives are Looply if you want to start from buying signals and your ideal customer profile and run LinkedIn and cold email together (from $97 a month for 2 LinkedIn accounts and 2 email senders), or HeyReach if you run LinkedIn outreach across many accounts, often for clients; Expandi if you want LinkedIn sequences that react to triggers such as profile visits or job changes; Waalaxy if you want the cheapest way to start LinkedIn prospecting on one account; La Growth Machine if you want LinkedIn, email, voice and X in one sequence. Prices and limits below come from each vendor’s own pages, checked November 7, 2026.
Probably not the right fit
- Teams getting good replies from Dripify with no specific reason to change.
- A switch made only for a lower sticker price: count accounts, email tools and hours too.
- Anyone looking for a way around LinkedIn’s limits or rules.
Evaluation framework
What to verify before you buy
Count accounts, not seats
Most tools charge per LinkedIn account. Price the number of senders you will really run, then add email tools if the product does not send email.
Ask how it limits volume
Look for per-account daily and weekly caps, a warm-up for new accounts and automatic pauses when LinkedIn asks for verification.
Decide where prospects come from
A list you upload, a LinkedIn search, people engaging with posts, or buying signals such as a new role or a funding round.
Check email in the same flow
Native email, email through integrations, or email only on the top plan changes both the price and the work.
Keep replies in one inbox
One inbox across every LinkedIn account and email sender, with the reason you reached out next to each reply.
Plan the exit
Check CSV export, CRM sync and API access before you commit, so a switch never loses contacts or reply history.
Current market snapshot
Prices and positioning at a glance
Published prices from each vendor’s own pages, checked 2026-11-07. Prices exclude tax.
| Product | Published price | What it emphasizes | Limitation to validate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Looply | $97/month Growth (2 LinkedIn accounts and 2 email senders), $247/month Scale; 7-day trial, card at checkout | Finds people from buying signals, scores them against your ideal customer profile, then runs LinkedIn and cold email from your own accounts | A younger product with fewer integrations than older tools. It is built around signals, so a team that only wants to automate a list it already has may not need that layer. Each account is capped at 100 invitations a week. |
| HeyReach | $79 per sender/month (1–9 senders), $59 from 10; Agency $999/month for 25 senders | Many LinkedIn senders from one workspace, with a unified inbox, API, webhooks and an MCP server; built for agencies and GTM teams | Email runs through Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison integrations rather than natively. Job-change signals were not found on its pages, and Agency and Unlimited plans bring their own proxies. |
| Dripify | $79/month Pro, $99/month Advanced per seat (one LinkedIn account); $59 and $79 billed yearly | LinkedIn and email in the same sequence on every paid plan, cloud sending and a dedicated IP | High-intent signals are listed as coming soon. Each seat connects one LinkedIn account, so cost grows with every sender, and its pages describe limits differently (75 a day versus about 100–200 a week). |
| Expandi | $99/month per seat, $79 billed yearly; Agency custom (10+ seats) | Cloud LinkedIn automation with email follow-ups, signal triggers (profile visits, job changes, webhooks) and one smart inbox | One seat per LinkedIn account. Its pages give different weekly invitation figures (300+ in the menu, 100 in its help center), so plan your own caps; agency pricing is quote-based. |
| Waalaxy | €39/month Pro, €99 Advanced, €139 Business per user (€19, €49, €69 billed yearly) | Low-cost LinkedIn prospecting, fully cloud since July 2026, targeting post reactions, groups and events | Cold email sequences are on Business only, Pro is capped at 300 invitations a month, and the inbox is a €20/month add-on in which teammates cannot see each other’s conversations. |
| La Growth Machine | €60/month Basic, €120 Pro, €180 Ultimate per identity (€50, €100, €150 billed yearly) | Multichannel sequences: LinkedIn, email from your mailbox, voice messages, calls and X, with intent signals on Pro | Signals and the multichannel inbox start on Pro at €120 per identity, HubSpot and Pipedrive sync only on Ultimate, and invoices are in euros even when prices show in dollars. |

How to run the decision
01Write your ideal customer profileIndustries, size, roles and disqualifiers decide who any tool should contact. Start with the free ICP template.
02Shortlist two toolsPick by your main job: many senders, LinkedIn plus email, the lowest price, or signal-led prospecting.
03Pilot on one accountRun the same audience and message through both for two to three weeks at a safe volume, warming up new accounts first.
04Compare replies, not sendsJudge by accepted invitations, replies and meetings per 100 invitations, plus the hours each tool took.
What Dripify does well
From Dripify’s own pages, checked November 7, 2026:
- LinkedIn and email steps in the same sequence on every paid plan, sent from your own inbox.
- Cloud sending with a dedicated IP, so it runs without your browser open.
- Leads from LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter searches, events, CSV, and post likers and commenters.
Why teams look at Dripify alternatives
Trade-offs worth checking against your own needs:
- Its homepage lists high-intent signals as coming soon.
- One seat per LinkedIn account, so a second sender doubles the price.
- The pricing page and help center describe daily and weekly limits differently, so set your own caps.
Looply as an alternative, and where it falls short
Looply finds people from buying signals, such as a new role, a funding round or engagement with a competitor, scores each one against your ideal customer profile, and runs LinkedIn and cold email from your own accounts with one inbox for replies. Growth is $97 a month for 2 LinkedIn accounts and 2 email senders, capped at 20 invitations a day and 100 a week per account, with a 3-week warm-up for new accounts.
It is a younger product with fewer integrations than older tools, and if you only want to automate a list you already have, Dripify or another list-based tool may be simpler.
LinkedIn limits and safety
LinkedIn publishes no weekly invitation number. Its help page says reaching the limit can block invitations, typically for one week, for free and Premium members alike.
LinkedIn’s User Agreement (section 8.2) and its “Prohibited software and extensions” help page say it does not permit third-party software that automates activity on its website. That applies to every tool on this page, Looply included: any of them can lead to a restricted account. Low daily volumes, a warm-up for new accounts, personal messages and stopping when LinkedIn asks for verification lower the risk; they do not remove it.
Common questions
Questions buyers ask
What is the best Dripify alternative?
It depends on why you are leaving. Looply fits if you want to start from buying signals and run LinkedIn and email together; the other options are HeyReach if you run LinkedIn outreach across many accounts, often for clients; Expandi if you want LinkedIn sequences that react to triggers such as profile visits or job changes; Waalaxy if you want the cheapest way to start LinkedIn prospecting on one account; La Growth Machine if you want LinkedIn, email, voice and X in one sequence.
How much does Dripify cost?
Dripify’s pricing page lists Pro at $79 a month and Advanced at $99 a month per seat, or $59 and $79 a month billed yearly. Each seat connects one LinkedIn account.
Does Dripify send cold email?
Yes. Dripify says LinkedIn and email can share one sequence on every paid plan, sent through your connected inbox.
Does Dripify have a free trial?
Dripify lists a 7-day free trial of Advanced features with no card, and says nothing is charged automatically.
Is LinkedIn automation allowed?
LinkedIn’s User Agreement and its help page on prohibited software say it does not permit third-party software that automates activity on its website, so every automation tool, Looply included, carries a risk of restriction. Low volumes, a warm-up, personal messages and stopping at verification requests lower the risk; nothing removes it.
