Dripify alternatives in 2026: 8 tools compared on price and setup

List prices on monthly billing, excluding tax, from each vendor's pricing page checked November 5, 2026. Dripify is the baseline row; the rest are alphabetical. On a narrow screen, scroll the table sideways.

On November 5, 2026, Dripify's pricing page listed three plans: Pro at $79 per user a month on monthly billing ($59 billed annually), Advanced at $99 ($79 annually), and a custom Enterprise plan. Each seat connects one LinkedIn account. The 7-day trial needs no card and includes Advanced features. Older roundups that quote other plan names or lower entry prices may be out of date.

Dripify's strengths are real: cloud execution, LinkedIn and email steps on every paid plan, and team management on Advanced. The usual reasons to look elsewhere are price for a single sender, the jump to Advanced for team features, wanting campaigns to run on hardware you control, or needing agency features such as white label. Each alternative below answers one of those reasons.

Expandi matches Dripify on the points most Dripify users care about: it runs in the cloud and puts email follow-ups in the same sequence as LinkedIn steps. On November 5, 2026, Business cost $99 a month, or $79 a month billed annually, the same as Dripify Advanced. Expandi adds a dedicated country-based IP address and an If/Action builder for branching sequences. Its 7-day trial converts to the billing period you selected unless you cancel.

Switch to Expandi if you want more control over sequence logic. Stay with Dripify if you are on Pro and price is the main concern, since Expandi has no plan below $99 on monthly billing.

• Strength: same cloud model and channels, with conditional branching.
• Strength: an Agency plan with white label and roles for ten or more seats.
• Trade-off: $20 a month more than Dripify Pro on monthly billing.
• Trade-off: image personalization costs extra, and the trial bills automatically.

Next: Compare Dripify, Expandi and Waalaxy

Waalaxy's US-dollar display on November 5, 2026 showed Pro at $19 per user a month on monthly billing, Advanced at $39 and Business at $69, or $16, $32 and $55 on yearly billing. The euro display shows different amounts, so check the price at checkout. Waalaxy said in July 2026 that it is now fully cloud-based and removed its Chrome extension.

The catch for a Dripify user is where the limits sit. Pro allows 300 invitations a month, and email sequences are only on Business. A Dripify Pro user who relies on email steps would compare $79 at Dripify with $69 at Waalaxy Business, not with $19.

• Strength: the lowest cloud price for a LinkedIn-only workflow.
• Strength: no browser or extension to keep running.
• Trade-off: 300 invitations a month on Pro; 800 on Advanced and Business.
• Trade-off: the free tier cannot run automation, and the trial requires a card.

HeyReach fits a Dripify team that has grown into several LinkedIn senders or works for clients. On November 5, 2026, Growth cost $79 per sender a month, the same as Dripify Pro per seat, while Agency covered 25 senders for $999 a month. HeyReach does not charge for teammates, clients or assistants, and its Growth plan includes a dedicated residential proxy per sender. The 14-day Growth trial covers three accounts without a card.

The trade is email. Dripify has native email steps; HeyReach connects to Instantly or Smartlead for that, which means a second tool and a second bill.

• Strength: per-sender cost falls to about $40 on the 25-sender Agency bundle.
• Strength: unified inbox and client workspaces built for multi-account work.
• Trade-off: no native email step.
• Trade-off: Agency and Unlimited plans require your own proxies.

Linked Helper is the opposite of Dripify's hosted model. It is desktop software that runs on your computer or a VPS you rent, and the LinkedIn session never leaves that machine. On November 5, 2026, Standard cost $15 per license a month with local data storage on a one-month term and Pro $45; cloud data storage raised those to $29.90 and $59.90. Longer terms and larger license counts are discounted. The 14-day Pro trial needs no card and does not renew.

Pick it if you want the lowest price per account and do not mind keeping a machine running. Skip it if you need email sending, which its pricing page does not list.

• Strength: about a fifth of Dripify Pro's price on the Standard plan.
• Strength: workspaces with roles and view-only client access.
• Trade-off: the machine must be on for anything to run.
• Trade-off: Standard caps some actions; Pro costs $45.

Octopus CRM is a Chrome extension with four plans. On monthly billing they cost $9.99, $14.99, $21.99 and $39.99 a month; billed annually, $6.99 to $24.99. Each comes with a 7-day trial without a card.

For a Dripify user, Octopus is a step down in infrastructure and a large step down in price. Actions run from your browser, so they stop when Chrome is closed, and there are no email steps. It fits an individual who used Dripify lightly and wants to keep a few LinkedIn sequences going for under $10 a month.

• Strength: the cheapest paid plan in this comparison.
• Strength: Zapier and HubSpot connection on its plan list.
• Trade-off: browser-dependent execution.
• Trade-off: LinkedIn only; check which actions your tier includes.

Dux-Soup's STACKED app comes in two versions. On November 5, 2026, the local version, which runs on your Mac or Windows machine, cost $55 per seat a month ($41.25 billed annually). The cloud version, run on Dux-Soup's infrastructure, cost $99 per seat a month ($74.17 billed annually). Its setup guide offers a two-week trial without card details.

That makes Dux-Soup a way to leave Dripify's cloud for a cheaper local setup without closing the door on cloud later. It does not list email steps, so Dripify users who depend on email would need another tool.

• Strength: switch execution model without switching vendor.
• Strength: native CRM integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive.
• Trade-off: the cloud version costs the same as Dripify Advanced.
• Trade-off: no email sequences listed.

Some teams choose Dripify for LinkedIn and then add a separate cold-email tool. lemlist reverses that: email first, with LinkedIn steps on the Multichannel plan. On November 5, 2026, Multichannel cost $109 per user a month on monthly billing, or $87 billed yearly, with a 14-day trial.

lemlist's help center says its Chrome extension is required for LinkedIn automation and that the integration relies on your browser session, with one LinkedIn account per lemlist seat. So for LinkedIn steps, lemlist behaves like an extension tool, not a cloud one.

• Strength: email, LinkedIn, calls and SMS in one sequence.
• Strength: lead data and email warm-up in the same platform.
• Trade-off: $30 a month more than Dripify Pro per LinkedIn sender.
• Trade-off: LinkedIn steps need an open Chrome profile per account.

Dripify has a 7-day trial; OutreachGenie has a Free plan that does not expire. On November 5, 2026, Free cost $0 with no card and allowed 80 outreach actions and 500 new prospects a week. Pro cost $15 a month per workspace ($150 a year) without those caps, and Agency $20 per connected LinkedIn account a month. MCP, Zapier and API keys are on every plan.

It is not a like-for-like replacement. Dripify runs in the cloud and sends email; OutreachGenie runs its LinkedIn actions through a Chrome extension in your own signed-in browser and covers LinkedIn only. It fits a Dripify user who mainly wants lower cost for LinkedIn sequences and can keep Chrome open.

• Strength: a $0 plan that runs campaign actions, with no card.
• Strength: Pro at $15 a month is about a fifth of Dripify Pro.
• Trade-off: LinkedIn only, no email steps; the browser must stay open.
• Trade-off: a newer product with a smaller review footprint, and Free stops at its weekly caps.

Pause Dripify campaigns and export leads, replies and exclusions before importing anything into a new tool, or people may receive the same invitation twice. Our migration checklist covers the order of steps.

Switching vendors does not change LinkedIn's position. Section 8.2 of its User Agreement says members must not use bots or other unauthorized automated methods to access LinkedIn, add or download contacts, send or redirect messages, or engage with posts, and it separately rules out plugins and scripts that scrape or copy the service. LinkedIn's Help Center page on prohibited software and extensions says tools that scrape, modify or automate activity on the site are not allowed and that accounts using them can be restricted or shut down. Its page on automated activity explains that a restricted member has to disable the tool before the account is restored. That applies to Dripify and to every alternative here, whether it runs in the cloud, a browser or a desktop app.

We checked Dripify's pricing page and each alternative's own pricing page on November 5, 2026, using a browser set to US English, and opened vendor help articles for trial terms and execution details where the pricing page was silent. Prices are list prices on monthly billing, excluding tax. We did not run campaigns, so this comparison does not measure acceptance, replies or restriction rates.

The tools were chosen because they compete for the same buyer: LinkedIn-first sequence tools, plus lemlist for teams that lead with email. The picks are editorial judgment based on those published facts, following our comparison methodology.
