Linked Helper vs HeyLeads

The AI-native Linked Helper alternative. AI at every step of LinkedIn outreach.

Updated October 2026 · Based on Linked Helper's public website and help center

The short answer

Linked Helper is a desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux) that automates LinkedIn outreach from your own computer, with a built-in CRM and inbox. Linked Helper starts lower, at $15 per LinkedIn account / month; HeyLeads is $79 per LinkedIn sender.

The difference is everything around the send. HeyLeads builds a campaign from one sentence, sends voice notes in your cloned voice with each lead's name spoken, branches on what a reply actually means (eight intents), rewrites your replies with AI, and pulls both reactors and commenters off any LinkedIn post with its Chrome extension.

Linked Helper is ahead today on much lower price per account ($15/mo, $8.25/mo yearly), built-in email finder and data enrichment, InMail sending and rebrand the app with your own name and logo. If those matter most, it is a fine choice. If LinkedIn is your channel and you want AI doing the work around the send, HeyLeads does more.

Five things Linked Helper doesn't do.

AI

A campaign from one sentence

"Book demos with RevOps leads at Series A SaaS in the UK." AI builds the steps, waits, branches and variants.

AI

Your cloned voice

Every lead hears their own name and company, in your voice. Nobody records 200 notes.

AI

Branches that read replies

"Talk to Sam, she owns this" becomes a referral. "Try me in March" waits until March.

Developers

An MCP server for your AI

Claude or Cursor can build lists and run campaigns with your API key, and asks you before anything goes live.

Keyboard

⌘K everything

Clear an inbox of 50 replies without touching the mouse: E done, H snooze, Z undo.
