7 Best Expandi Alternatives in 2026: Pricing, Features and Who Each Suits

Short answer: the best Expandi alternative depends on why you're leaving. For LinkedIn outreach plus AI-written posts in one tool, look at Bearconnect (our product). For agencies running many sender accounts, HeyReach. For LinkedIn and email in one simple cloud tool, Dripify. For true multichannel sequences, La Growth Machine. For deep sequence logic with built-in email warm-up and image personalisation, Skylead. For LinkedIn, email and X with social post scheduling, Meet Alfred. For the lowest starting price, Waalaxy. And if you need Expandi's specific mix of features, staying may be the right call; we cover that too.

Last checked: November 2026. Every price and feature below comes from each vendor's own website, linked in the Sources list at the end. Prices are for monthly billing; most of these tools offer a discount if you pay quarterly or yearly. Tools change often, so check before you buy. Bearconnect is our product; we've tried to treat it the same as the others.

Expandi in brief

Expandi is a cloud-based LinkedIn and email outreach tool. Its Business plan costs $99 per seat a month. An Agency plan for 10+ seats is priced on request and adds white label and a dedicated customer success manager.

What Expandi includes, according to its own site:

  • LinkedIn and email steps in one sequence, with unlimited campaigns
  • A "Global Smart Inbox" for replies from all connected accounts, with labels, tags and notes
  • A dedicated country-based IP per account and automatic profile warm-up
  • Native HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive integrations, plus Zapier, webhooks and an API
  • Workspaces with custom roles; inviting coworkers or clients costs nothing extra
  • Live chat support seven days a week
  • A 7-day free trial with all features

Where costs can add up: image and GIF personalisation costs extra on top of the subscription, and video personalisation runs through SendSpark, a paid add-on. Pricing is per seat, so each person or LinkedIn profile you add increases the bill.

Why people look for Expandi alternatives

  • Price per seat. At $99 a month per seat, costs grow quickly for teams and agencies.
  • Paid add-ons for visual personalisation. Image, GIF and video personalisation cost extra.
  • No LinkedIn content tools. Expandi doesn't write or schedule LinkedIn posts.
  • Different needs. Some teams want built-in email warm-up, sender rotation across many accounts, or a lower entry price.

"Not stated" means the vendor's website doesn't say, not that the feature is missing.

1. Bearconnect: best for LinkedIn outreach and LinkedIn content in one tool

Our product, so weigh this section accordingly.

Bearconnect combines LinkedIn outreach with LinkedIn content. You run connection, message and follow-up campaigns, write and schedule posts with AI in your own Brand Voice, and manage replies from every account in one inbox.

What it includes

  • Cloud campaigns with a dedicated country-based IP per account, automatic warm-up, and daily limits you set per campaign (up to 25 connection requests and 50 messages)
  • Six lead sources: LinkedIn search, Sales Navigator, CSV, 1st-degree connections, people who engage with a post, and LinkedIn Groups
  • AI post writing in your Brand Voice, scheduling, and Post Magnet, which replies or sends a DM automatically when someone comments a keyword on your post
  • One inbox across all connected LinkedIn accounts
  • Workspaces with roles, and unlimited team members at no extra cost
  • HubSpot and Pipedrive (native), plus Zapier, Make, n8n and webhooks
  • Live chat support, usually within 2 hours

Pricing (bearconnect.io/pricing)

Accounts Price per month
1 $67
5 $285 ($57 each)
10 $570

Where it falls short

  • No email outreach or email finder. If you want LinkedIn and email in one sequence, Dripify, La Growth Machine, Skylead or Expandi itself are better fits.
  • No sender rotation and no white label, which large agencies may want (see HeyReach).
  • Newer than most tools here, with a smaller review base: 4.9/5 from 21 reviews on G2 as of November 2026.

2. HeyReach: best for agencies running many sender accounts

HeyReach is built for running LinkedIn outreach across many accounts at once. It rotates sending across your LinkedIn senders, gives you one inbox where you can reply on behalf of any account, and keeps each client's senders, leads and campaigns in a separate workspace.

Pricing (heyreach.io/pricing)

Growth (10+ senders) $59 per sender

Limits: priced per user, so costs rise with each LinkedIn profile. No LinkedIn content tools.

Choose Dripify if you want an easy, lower-cost way to run LinkedIn and email outreach from one cloud tool. Read our Dripify review or Bearconnect vs Dripify.

4. La Growth Machine: best for multichannel sequences

La Growth Machine builds sequences across LinkedIn, email, voice messages, call tasks and X, sending from each person's own LinkedIn and mailboxes. It runs in the cloud with no browser extension and assigns a dedicated mobile proxy to each identity.

Pricing (lagrowthmachine.com/pricing)

Basic €60 per identity Up to 3 identities, 3 active campaigns
Pro €120 per identity Unlimited identities, 6 active campaigns, calls, A/B testing, multichannel inbox

Choose La Growth Machine if you want LinkedIn, email and calls in one sequence. See our La Growth Machine alternatives guide.

5. Skylead: best for deep sequences with email warm-up built in

Skylead pairs LinkedIn and email in "smart sequences" with if/else conditions, and includes several things Expandi charges extra for or leaves out.

Pricing (skylead.io/pricing)

  • All-in-one: $100 per seat a month. Includes LinkedIn automation, unlimited email accounts (100,000 emails a month), infinite email warm-up, email finder and verifier, unlimited image and GIF personalisation, and an API.
  • Agency: listed as $999 a month for 25 seats as a first-year promotion, then $1,999 a month for unlimited seats, with white label available.

Strengths: if/else sequences across LinkedIn and email, built-in warm-up, image and GIF personalisation included, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Salesforce sync, white label, and 7 languages.

Limits: the highest per-seat price on this list; no LinkedIn content tools.

Choose Skylead if you want Expandi-style sequence depth with email warm-up and visual personalisation included.

6. Meet Alfred: best for LinkedIn, email and X, with social post scheduling

Meet Alfred runs LinkedIn, email and X outreach from the cloud (no browser extension). Its Multi-Channel plan also includes social media scheduling for LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and X.

Pricing per seat (meetalfred.com/pricing)

Plan Price per month
LinkedIn Only $59
Multi-Channel (adds email, X, social scheduling, CRM, Zapier, webhooks) $69
Agency (3-seat minimum; adds team inbox, roles, white label, native HubSpot and Salesforce) $79

Strengths: low pricing, three outreach channels, social post scheduling, and a 7-day trial with no credit card.

Limits: team features and native CRM integrations sit on the Agency plan; each seat covers one user and one LinkedIn account.

Choose Meet Alfred if you want LinkedIn, email and X outreach plus social scheduling at a low price. Read our Meet Alfred review.

7. Waalaxy: lowest starting price

Waalaxy is a simple, template-driven LinkedIn prospecting tool and says it is used by more than 200,000 people. It runs 100% in the cloud, so campaigns keep sending when your computer is off.

Quarterly and annual billing cost less. Every plan has a 14-day free trial. The LinkedIn inbox is a €20/month add-on.

Strengths: the lowest entry price here, quick template campaigns, CRM sync with HubSpot and Pipedrive.

Limits: email sequences need the Business plan; the inbox costs extra.

Choose Waalaxy if you want the cheapest way to start LinkedIn prospecting. Read our Waalaxy review.

When to stay with Expandi

Expandi is a capable tool. Staying makes sense if you want:

  • LinkedIn and email in one sequence, with native HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive integrations
  • A shared inbox, workspaces with detailed roles and free client invites
  • A dedicated IP, automatic warm-up and live chat support seven days a week

If those matter more to you than price per seat or LinkedIn content tools, the switch may not be worth it.

How to switch from Expandi

  1. Export your lead lists from Expandi as CSV.
  2. Pause your Expandi campaigns before starting the new tool, so two tools aren't acting on one LinkedIn account at once.
  3. Connect your LinkedIn account to the new tool and import your leads.
  4. Rebuild your sequence and copy across your message templates.
  5. Start at a lower daily volume than you ran before and increase it over a couple of weeks.
