COMPARE:
HeyReach or Expandi for LinkedIn outreach
A straight comparison of HeyReach and Expandi for running LinkedIn outreach across several sender accounts, answered on the same seven dimensions as every other compare page here. Mamba Labs builds the Apify actors here, Prospect Engine included, and the page says where it is the wrong answer.
The short answer
Expandi is the safer tool on one account. HeyReach is the only one of the two that treats twenty accounts as one campaign. The number of senders you run decides this and nothing else really does.
Dimension by dimension
| HeyReach | Expandi | Prospect Engine | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it actually does | Runs connection requests, messages and follows from a pool of LinkedIn accounts on one campaign. | Runs LinkedIn sequences from one account at a time, with human like delays and a dedicated IP. | Takes a market definition or a domain list and returns enriched company and contact rows. |
| Coverage and hit rate | Many senders on one campaign, with the daily limits spread across them and tracked per account. | Deep on one account: smart sequences, conditional branches and image personalization. | Public sources, read directly, with the field's origin on the row. |
| What it costs | Per connected LinkedIn account per month, so the bill scales with senders and not with leads. | Per connected account per month, and it sits at the higher end of the LinkedIn tools. | Cents per row, charged on a returned row rather than on an attempt. |
| How it fits a workflow | A real API, webhooks on every reply, and a unified inbox that a team can work together. | Campaign builder first, integrations second. Webhooks exist and the API is limited. | One API call, or an HTTP column in Clay, and finished rows come back. |
| Where the data comes from | It sends. Lists come from Sales Navigator, from your own export, or from an API push. | It sends. Lists come from Sales Navigator searches or an upload. | The public web and public registers, named per field. |
| What it takes to set up | Connect the accounts, set the schedule, warm them up slowly. A few days before it is safe at volume. | The dedicated IP and the warmup ramp mean a longer, safer start than most of its competitors. | Point it at a market or a list of domains and run it. |
| Where it stops | It is LinkedIn only. Email is a different product and this one does not pretend otherwise. | Running twenty accounts means twenty campaigns, which is where agencies feel the design. | It is not a table. Reviewing and editing rows is something you do elsewhere. |
The same seven questions are asked on every compare page here, in this order, so two of these pages can be read against each other.
Where each one genuinely wins
- HeyReach wins on coverage and hit rate, how it fits a workflow. LinkedIn outreach built for running many sender accounts at once.
- Expandi wins on where the data comes from, what it takes to set up. LinkedIn automation with a dedicated IP per account and heavy safety controls.
- Prospect Engine wins on what it costs. One call that finds the companies, enriches them and returns finished rows.
- Nobody wins on what it actually does, where it stops. HeyReach and Expandi give the same answer on those, and we are not going to invent a difference.
Where to get them
What we would actually do
One person sending from one profile should take Expandi. The dedicated IP and the slower ramp are worth having when the account being restricted is your own. An agency, or any team pooling several profiles into one motion, should take HeyReach, because running that in Expandi means twenty separate campaigns and twenty separate reports. Both are safe enough when you respect the daily limits, and neither is safe when you do not. The account risk comes from your volume, not from the vendor.
