HeyLeads, compared

Every LinkedIn outreach tool automates the send. HeyLeads puts AI in every step around it.

Updated October 2026 · Each page is based on that tool's public website, and says where it's ahead

The short answer

Most LinkedIn outreach tools automate the send: connection requests, messages and follow-ups. They differ on price, whether they run in the cloud, how many LinkedIn accounts they handle, and whether they also do email.

HeyLeads is the AI-native option. It finds leads in LinkedIn post engagement (reactors and commenters) and Sales Navigator, builds a campaign from one sentence, sends voice notes in your cloned voice, branches on what replies mean, and sends from unlimited LinkedIn accounts for $79 per sender. Pick an email-first tool if email is your main channel; pick HeyLeads if LinkedIn is.
