What is HeyReach?

HeyReach is a LinkedIn automation tool that runs campaigns across many LinkedIn accounts. Its homepage says you can "Connect unlimited LinkedIn accounts for one flat fee and automatically rotate sending between them", and names agencies, sales teams and GTM experts as its audience.

As of October 2026, HeyReach lists a unified inbox to "Handle all LinkedIn messages in one centralized inbox, without logging in and out of accounts all the time". It offers an API, webhooks and an MCP server, which is a way for AI agents to control the tool, plus integrations with Clay, n8n, Make, Zapier and HubSpot. For email, its homepage lists "Native integrations with Instantly, Smartlead, and EmailBison". HeyReach can also find verified emails with enrichment credits.

What is Outbind?

Outbind is the autonomous client engine for founders, agencies and sales teams. It maps your market from your website, finds and scores people who fit on fit, persona and intent, with the reasons, then researches them. Its AI, Obi, writes messages that cite real sources and sends from your own Gmail or Outlook.

It also automates LinkedIn in the cloud, sorts replies into one Unibox, answers people who want to talk with your booking link and moves your pipeline. You run it from the web dashboard or WhatsApp.

Autopilot is the mode where Outbind sends on its own, with no per-email approval. You OK the first leads once, or choose to review every lead. Pricing questions, objections and anything unclear come to you.

How does HeyReach pricing compare with Outbind?

HeyReach charges by LinkedIn sender, and email needs a separate tool. Outbind charges one flat price that covers email, LinkedIn, data and signals, and sending never uses credits.

As of October 2026, HeyReach's pricing page lists these plans. Quarterly billing is shown as a 10% saving and yearly as 20%.

Plan	Price a month	What it includes
HeyReach Growth	$79 per sender, or $63 billed yearly	All LinkedIn actions, unified inbox, 100 enrichment credits per sender, API, MCP
HeyReach Agency	$999 for 25 senders, or $799 billed yearly	Growth features, 1,000 enrichment credits, white-label
HeyReach Unlimited	$2,999, or $2,399 billed yearly	Unlimited senders (300 fair use), 3,000 enrichment credits
Outbind Pro	$49	5,000 credits (about 400 leads), 1 LinkedIn account, email
Outbind Pro Plus	$99	12,000 credits (about 1,000 leads), 2 LinkedIn accounts
Outbind Team	$199	25,000 shared credits, 3 seats, 4 LinkedIn accounts
Outbind Team Scale	$399	50,000 shared credits, 5 seats, 8 LinkedIn accounts

A few details matter. HeyReach's FAQ says it charges "per sender/seat" and does not charge for teammates, VAs or clients. Its enrichment credits are a "one-time credit allocation" that you can top up. Growth includes a dedicated residential proxy per sender, while Agency and Unlimited ask you to bring your own proxies. A "Done for you" service with a dedicated GTM engineer is priced on request.

Worked example: a founder who wants LinkedIn and email

Say you are a founder with one LinkedIn profile and one mailbox.

HeyReach. Growth for one sender is $79 a month, or $63 billed yearly. That covers LinkedIn. For email you add a separate tool such as Instantly or Smartlead, at that tool's own price, and connect the two.
Outbind. Pro is $49 a month. It covers email from your own Gmail or Outlook, one LinkedIn account, 5,000 credits for data, and hiring and funding signals. Yearly billing gives 2 months free.
A small team. Outbind Team is $199 a month for 3 seats and 4 LinkedIn accounts, sharing one Autopilot, credits and one Unibox. On HeyReach Growth, 4 senders list at $316 a month before an email tool.

For an agency with 25 or more LinkedIn profiles, the sums change. HeyReach's Agency plan is built for exactly that, with white-label included.

Is LinkedIn only enough, or do you need LinkedIn and email automation?

For most small teams, LinkedIn and email automation together reach more people than either alone. The question is whether you join them yourself or use one tool.

HeyReach focuses on LinkedIn and connects to email tools. That works well if you already run Instantly or Smartlead. You manage two products and two bills, and you decide how the channels hand off.

Outbind runs both channels in one Flow, which is its sequence of steps for one lead. A Flow stops the moment someone replies or books, on either channel. Replies from email and LinkedIn land in the same Unibox.

Who writes the messages and handles replies?

On HeyReach you write the campaigns, or connect your own AI agent. On Outbind, Obi researches and writes each message, and Autopilot answers interested replies.

HeyReach's homepage says you can "Let your AI agents run LinkedIn" campaigns through its MCP server, which can create campaigns with custom messages and adds "sentiment analysis, and auto-tagged warm leads" to replies. That is powerful if you have an AI agent or a GTM engineer to set it up. The pricing page does not list built-in AI writing.

Outbind researches each person, writes a message that cites real sources and runs every draft through 35+ pre-send checks. When someone wants to talk, Outbind replies with your booking link.

How does LinkedIn sending differ?

HeyReach is built for many senders. Outbind is built for a few senders paced carefully.

HeyReach rotates sending across your connected LinkedIn accounts, and its Unlimited plan allows up to 300 senders under fair use. That scale is the main reason agencies choose it.

Outbind runs LinkedIn in the cloud with a short personal note on each invite and human pacing on messages. Plans include 1 to 8 accounts, and extras are $10 a month. Any LinkedIn automation carries risk, so read our guide to LinkedIn automation safety first.

Where do the leads and data come from?

HeyReach gives you enrichment credits to find emails for leads you bring. Outbind finds the leads for you and records where every field came from.

HeyReach lists 100 enrichment credits per sender on Growth, 1,000 on Agency and 3,000 on Unlimited, and it connects to Clay for richer data. You bring the lead lists.

Outbind maps your market from your website and finds people who fit. Enrichment uses a verified pool first and other sources only for gaps, recording source, date and confidence on every field. Emails are never guessed from name patterns. Hiring and funding signals come on every plan, and new leaders, expansions and acquisitions on Pro Plus and up.

When is HeyReach the better choice?

HeyReach is the better choice for agencies and teams that run many LinkedIn profiles and want LinkedIn at scale.

You run 25 or more LinkedIn senders. The Agency and Unlimited plans are priced and built for this.
You resell to clients. White-label is included on Agency, and multi-brand white-label is an add-on on Unlimited.
You already have an email stack. If Instantly or Smartlead is set up and working, HeyReach slots in next to it.
You build with AI agents and APIs. The MCP server, API and webhooks suit teams with a GTM engineer.
You want a trial without a card. HeyReach's FAQ describes a 14-day trial with no card required.

When is Outbind the better choice?

Outbind is the better choice when you want LinkedIn, email and data in one plan, run for you.

You do not have lead lists. Outbind maps your market from your website and scores who fits.
You want the writing done. Obi researches and writes messages that cite real sources.
You want replies handled. Autopilot books interested people with your booking link.
