HeyReach vs Expandi is a choice between two cloud LinkedIn automation tools that send connection requests and messages for you without a browser extension.

Expandi publishes no equivalent. - Extras: HeyReach Growth includes 100 enrichment credits per sender. Both need you to supply the LinkedIn accounts; see [LinkedIn account rental](https://getaob.com/linkedin-account-rental) if you need more. ## Features compared - Multi-account sending: HeyReach rotates one campaign across many LinkedIn accounts and balances limits per account. Expandi runs campaigns per account. - Inbox: HeyReach has a unified inbox across every sender. Expandi has conversation tags and notes, with central inbox management on Agency. - Account safety: both are cloud tools that send from a server, not your browser. Expandi gives each account a dedicated country-based IP and auto warmup. HeyReach lets Agency users bring their own proxies. - Sequences: Expandi's sequence builder mixes LinkedIn and email steps and can target people who engaged with a post. HeyReach sequences cover connection requests, messages, InMails, and profile actions, and hand email off to Instantly or Smartlead. - API: HeyReach has an API, webhooks, and an MCP server on Growth. Expandi lists integrations but its pricing page does not mention an API. - Agency features: both offer white-label. HeyReach includes it on Agency at a published price; Expandi includes it on its sales-priced Agency plan. - Free trial: HeyReach 14 days with up to 3 LinkedIn accounts; Expandi 7 days with all features. ## Who should pick HeyReach - Agencies and outbound teams running three or more LinkedIn accounts. - Teams that want one inbox for every sender, so replies do not get missed. - Anyone loading leads and building campaigns from code or Claude Code through the API and MCP server. - Teams already sending email on Instantly or Smartlead who want LinkedIn tied to the same lead list. ## Who should pick Expandi - A founder or seller running outreach from their own single LinkedIn profile. - Teams that want email steps inside the LinkedIn sequence instead of in a separate sender. - Sellers who prospect from post engagement and want that built into campaigns. - Anyone who wants a dedicated country-based IP per account without managing proxies. ## Migrating from Expandi to HeyReach (or back) The LinkedIn accounts are yours, so a move means disconnecting them from one tool and connecting them to the other. The thing to protect is the account. LinkedIn notices sudden jumps in activity from a new location. - Export leads, campaign status, and conversation history from the old tool. - Let active sequences finish, or pause them and note where each lead stopped. - Connect accounts to the new tool one at a time and start at low daily limits for the first week. - Rebuild sequences and exclude anyone already contacted, so nobody gets the same first message twice. - Cancel the old tool only once every account is sending normally in the new one. ## The verdict If you run more than two LinkedIn accounts, pick HeyReach. Rotating one campaign across many senders, one inbox for all of them, and published pricing that drops as you scale are what multi-account outreach needs. The API and MCP server are why OneGTM can load leads and build campaigns from Claude Code instead of by hand. If you are a founder running outreach from your own profile, Expandi is a fair pick. Its sequences are richer for one account, the email steps save you a second tool, and the price on annual billing matches HeyReach's monthly rate. Either way, results depend on the list and the message. Automation sends whatever you give it, faster. ## When to get help with LinkedIn outreach Connecting accounts to a tool is quick. The work is picking who to target, writing messages people answer, keeping accounts safe, and tying LinkedIn to email so the same lead does not get hit twice. OneGTM builds that on HeyReach and Instantly, in your own accounts. For Coastal Recruiting, accepted candidate intros went from 72 to 340 a month, a 4.7x increase. - Your LinkedIn acceptance or reply rates are dropping. - You run several sender accounts and replies are getting lost. - You want LinkedIn and cold email working from one lead list.
