Say you sign up for Waalaxy on a Monday to find out whether LinkedIn outreach is worth your time. You import 200 prospects, write one message and look for the start button. On the free plan there is none that sends: Waalaxy's own quotas article, updated on 8 July 2026, says "In Freemium, you cannot launch campaigns."
That is the free plan working as designed. It is a place to keep your data and look at the product, not a small version of the paid one. This is what it covers, what the paid seats really cost, and what to reach for if what you want is the people found and each message written for you. Every Waalaxy fact below was read on its own pricing page and help center on 3 October 2026.
What the Waalaxy free plan is now
Waalaxy's subscriptions article describes Freemium as "limited access to the Waalaxy application. It is completely free." Two sentences set its limits: "All your data (prospects, campaigns) is available, but you can't use any automation features" and "You can only import prospects from a CSV file."
The quotas article draws the consequence: since you cannot launch campaigns, "no action quota (invitations, messages, follows, profile visits) applies to this plan."
Older write-ups, ours included, described a free plan of 3 actions a day per type, or "80 invitations a month". Neither matches what Waalaxy's help center says today.
The full free‑plan limits table
| What you might want | On Freemium |
|---|---|
| Launch a campaign | No: "you cannot launch campaigns" |
| Invitations, messages, follows, visits | No quota applies, because nothing runs |
| Import prospects | From a CSV file only |
| Keep prospects and campaigns | Yes, all your data stays available |
| Prospects stored | 10,000 in total, 1,000 per list |
| LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search import | Paid plans |

What changed in July 2026, and why it matters
On 1 July 2026 Waalaxy moved to the cloud: "Waalaxy no longer relies on a browser extension. Everything runs directly inside the app at app.waalaxy.com." Campaigns no longer stop when your laptop closes, which now separates it from a browser-bound tool (see Octopus CRM vs Waalaxy).
The free plan moved with it. Automation is a paid feature, so the way to try Waalaxy's sending is its trial: 14 days on the pricing page, with a card. Its subscriptions article warns: "If you start with a trial period, the subscription automatically converts to a paid plan at the end of the trial unless canceled beforehand", and "No reminder is sent before your first charge." If you start one, put the date in your calendar.
What the free plan quietly leaves out
- Sending of any kind. No invitations, messages, follows or visits.
- Imports from a search. LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite searches, post reactions, groups and events are paid imports.
- The Inbox. It is "an optional add-on for €20/month" on the paid plans.
- Email Finder credits. 25 a month on Pro and Advanced, 500 on Business.
None of this is a knock on Waalaxy. A free plan exists to show you the product. The trap is planning a campaign around it.
Less searching.
More conversations.

Where the free plan sends you next: the paid plans
Every paid plan is per seat, and one seat is one LinkedIn account: "one seat = one LinkedIn account = one Waalaxy account". Per seat a month, before VAT:
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed yearly (paid upfront) | Invitations | Email Finder credits a month | Cold email |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | €39 | €19 | at most 11 a day, or 300 a month | 25 | No |
| Advanced | €99 | €49 | up to 100 a day, 200 a week | 25 | No |
| Business | €139 | €69 | up to 100 a day, 200 a week | 500 | Yes |
Quarterly billing sits between the two (€31, €79, €109). The API and the MCP for Claude start at Advanced. Billing basis: per seat per month, EUR, read on waalaxy.com/pricing and the quotas article on 3 October 2026; prices "may vary depending on your country".
The thing to read off that table: the €19 that pricing pages lead with is the yearly price, paid in one go. Billed monthly, the cheapest seat is €39, and the plan most teams compare on, Advanced, is €99 per LinkedIn account.
When the free plan is genuinely enough
- You want to look at the interface before paying.
- You want to keep a list of prospects in one place.
- You are deciding between tools and want to look at the interface and your lists first.
When you have outgrown it
The moment you want anything to go out. Then the real question is not which Waalaxy seat, but who does the work: on any Waalaxy plan you still build the list, pick the sequence and run the campaign. If the hours go there, a bigger plan does not give them back.
The alternatives, by what you are optimizing for
| If your priority is... | A reasonable option | The trade to know |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest price for one account | Waalaxy Pro, €19 a month billed yearly or €39 monthly | Your list, your sequence, at most 300 invitations a month |
| LinkedIn and cold email in one tool | Waalaxy Business, €139 a month billed monthly | Per seat, Inbox €20 a month on top |
| The people found and each message written for you | BeReach, 99 EUR a month billed monthly | LinkedIn, with follow-ups and email run in Claude |
| A shortlist of people, free, before any plan | BeReach's free finder tools | You still send yourself |
Where BeReach fits, and where it does not
BeReach has no free plan either. What it has is a 14-day trial of the whole thing, and a different job: you agree the search plan and approve the messages, and BeReach takes it from there. It plans the searches from your own words, runs them live on public data, writes one first message per person from their profile and posts.
The price is one plan, not a seat per account: 99 EUR a month billed monthly, or 79 EUR billed yearly, everything included: two LinkedIn accounts, the AI that writes every message, the lead search, the Claude and ChatGPT connector and the API, from one monthly allowance with nothing to top up. See pricing.
The trade-offs are real. In the app, BeReach sends one first message per person; the follow-ups and email run in Claude, through the BeReach MCP, each one approved by you. There is no cold email at volume (no warm-up, no sender rotation). And for one account on a tight budget, Waalaxy Pro is cheaper. The full side by side is in BeReach vs Waalaxy, and the wider field in Waalaxy alternatives.
Free to try: paste a LinkedIn search URL and get the people. For what LinkedIn itself allows, the connection request limits breakdown has the numbers.
The takeaway
Waalaxy's free plan is a showroom: your data, the interface, a CSV import, and no sending. Any outreach starts at a paid seat per LinkedIn account, €39 a month billed monthly. Decide on the full monthly bill for the number of accounts you will run, and on who does the work. Every other tool is in the full list of comparisons.
Waalaxy free plan: frequently asked questions
How many invitations does Waalaxy free give you?
None. Waalaxy's quotas article (updated 8 July 2026) says "In Freemium, you cannot launch campaigns", so no invitation, message, follow or visit quota applies. The "80 a month" and "3 a day" figures in older articles describe an earlier free plan.
Is the Waalaxy free plan enough to run real outreach?
No. Freemium keeps your prospects and campaigns and imports a CSV, but "you can't use any automation features". To send anything you need a paid seat, or the 14-day trial, which converts to a paid plan unless you cancel it and sends no reminder first.
Does the Waalaxy free plan include email finder and sequences?
No sending of any kind runs on Freemium. Email Finder credits come with the paid seats: 25 a month on Pro and Advanced, 500 on Business, where cold email sequences also live.
What is the cheapest paid Waalaxy plan?
Pro: €39 per seat a month billed monthly, or €19 a month billed yearly and paid upfront, with at most 11 invitations a day or 300 a month. One seat is one LinkedIn account. Prices read on waalaxy.com/pricing on 3 October 2026.
Are there free alternatives for finding LinkedIn prospects?
Yes, for the finding half. BeReach's free finder tools search public data from a sentence or a pasted search link. For the sending, BeReach has a 14-day trial and then one plan, 99 EUR a month billed monthly, with two LinkedIn accounts, the AI and the sending included.
