These two tools get compared constantly, and they are not really competing for the same buyer. Waalaxy sells a seat to one person who wants their own outreach running by Friday. HeyReach sells sending capacity to whoever is responsible for many LinkedIn accounts, often not their own.
Both do the same thing once the list exists: they send a sequence you built to people you imported. So this piece fixes the prices at source, does the arithmetic on where each pricing model overtakes the other, and ends on the question both leave open: who finds the people and writes to them.
Waalaxy vs HeyReach, decided in one paragraph
Waalaxy charges per seat, one LinkedIn account each, from €39 a month billed monthly (€19 billed yearly), and meters invitations by plan. HeyReach charges $79 per LinkedIn sender billed monthly, gives team seats away and bundles senders on its agency plans. For one account, Waalaxy is cheaper. Past 16 accounts, HeyReach's bundle wins.

What each one actually costs per LinkedIn account
Billed monthly, per month:
| LinkedIn accounts | Waalaxy Pro | Waalaxy Advanced | HeyReach Growth | BeReach |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | €39 | €99 | $79 | €99 / $119 (Pro, 2 accounts in it) |
| 2 | €78 | €198 | $158 | €99 / $119 |
| 3 | €117 | €297 | $237 | €199 / $239 (Max) |
| 5 | €195 | €495 | $395 | €299 / $359 (Max+) |
Outside those figures: Waalaxy's Inbox (€20 a month) and email credits past 25 a month below Business; HeyReach's AI, which you pay to your AI vendor, its email-finding top-ups, whose price is not published, and an email tool if you want email. BeReach's plan holds the search, the AI that writes every message, the sending, the Claude and ChatGPT connector and the API in one monthly allowance, with nothing to top up.
HeyReach scales in steps. Growth at $79 per sender, $59 from 10 senders, stays cheaper than Micro Agency at $999 for 25 senders until 17 senders:
| Senders | Growth ($79, $59 from 10) | Micro Agency at $999 | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | $237 | $999 | Growth |
| 8 | $632 | $999 | Growth |
| 16 | $944 | $999 | Growth |
| 17 | $1,003 | $999 | Micro Agency |
| 25 | $1,475 | $999 | Micro Agency |
All monthly billing. Unlimited at $2,999 is what you buy past the agency sender counts, or for extra white-label brands at $500 each.
Where other comparison pages go wrong
- Waalaxy's €19, €49 and €69 are yearly prices. Billed monthly the seats are €39, €99 and €139. Pages that print €19 "per month" are quoting the yearly rate, paid upfront.
- Waalaxy's free plan sends nothing. Its quotas article: "In Freemium, you cannot launch campaigns." The "80 a month" figure belongs to an older plan; see what the Waalaxy free plan limits.
- HeyReach Unlimited is $2,999 a month, not $1,999. Agency pricing changed in 2026: $999 now buys 25 senders, and 50 senders are $1,399.
- Waalaxy is not a Chrome extension any more. It runs in the cloud since 1 July 2026; an argument built on the old extension describes a product that no longer ships.
Prices in this category move. Read the live plan card before you sign, not the comparison blog, this one included.
Waalaxy fits when the constraint is one account and a budget
Waalaxy is right for a solo founder or a first sales hire sending from their own profile. €19 a month billed yearly is the lowest entry here, its 99+ sequences get a first campaign out fast, and Business adds cold email. Pro's 300 invitations a month suit one person doing considered outreach; Advanced lifts the quota to 100 a day and 200 a week, and opens the API and MCP.
Where it bites: every account is another seat, and the headline is the yearly price. Five people on Advanced is €495 a month billed monthly, before the Inbox. When that happens, the Waalaxy alternatives are sorted by the work they leave you and their full bill.

HeyReach fits when the constraint is many accounts, not many people
HeyReach is built for many LinkedIn accounts and few logins. A sender is "a LinkedIn account that you add to your organization", and teammates, VAs and clients are free. Client workspaces, a unified inbox and white-label branding are made for agencies, and volume grows by adding senders.
Where it bites: for one account it is the dearest option here, and it does not find people or write per-person messages itself. Leads arrive by import, "from Sales Navigator, Clay, RB2B, HubSpot, or any other tool", messages are templates with variables, and the per-person writing runs in an AI plan you pay separately. The HeyReach alternatives page sorts the options by what you need, and PhantomBuster vs HeyReach sets it against a per-workspace bill.
Where neither one is the answer
Both price sending capacity. Neither does the work before the send: you build or buy the list, you write or template the copy, you build the sequence. If the hours go there, a bigger plan or more senders does not give them back. And on volume, both already sell more than one account sends: practitioners plan around roughly 100 invitations a week per account, a consensus figure rather than one LinkedIn publishes, explained in LinkedIn connection request limits.
A third shape: you approve, BeReach runs the rest
BeReach starts a step earlier and runs a step further. Describe who you sell to; it plans the searches, runs them live on public data, and says so when nobody matches instead of padding the list. It writes one first message per person from their profile and posts. You approve, and it sends the invitations, waits for each acceptance and delivers the message, every day, at the pace each account can carry, about 100 invitations a week per account. It stops writing to anyone who replies.
It is one plan, not a seat or a sender: 99 EUR a month billed monthly ($119), or 79 EUR billed yearly, for two LinkedIn accounts, the AI that writes every message, the lead search, the Claude and ChatGPT connector and the API, from one allowance with no key to bring. Max is 199 EUR for 3 accounts, Max+ 299 EUR for 5. Inside Claude or ChatGPT, the connector gives 27 tools to find people, read their profiles and posts, draft and send what you approve.
What it does not do: no automated follow-up (replies come back to your inbox and the chat), no cold email, and no agency bundle of dozens of senders. The head to heads are BeReach vs Waalaxy and BeReach vs HeyReach. To try the finding half free, turn a search link into a list. BeReach is one price with the AI included, and all our LinkedIn tool comparisons sit on one page.
Frequently asked questions
Is Waalaxy or HeyReach cheaper?
For one LinkedIn account, Waalaxy: €39 a month on Pro billed monthly against $79 for a HeyReach sender. From two accounts, Waalaxy Pro stays cheaper while Waalaxy Advanced (€198 for two) costs more than HeyReach Growth ($158). Past 16 senders, HeyReach's Micro Agency bundle at $999 for 25 wins. Prices read on both pricing pages on 3 October 2026.
What counts as a sender on HeyReach, and do team members cost extra?
HeyReach defines a sender, also called a seat, as a LinkedIn account you add to your organization, and does not charge for teammates, VAs, clients or users. So an eight-person team running three LinkedIn accounts pays for three. Waalaxy bills one seat per LinkedIn account, so accounts and seats rise together.
Does Waalaxy still require a Chrome extension?
No. Waalaxy has run in the cloud at app.waalaxy.com since 1 July 2026, so campaigns keep going with your laptop closed. An optional extension still helps with imports.
Which one writes the messages for me?
Neither writes a message per person on its own. Waalaxy has an AI writer for a first draft inside a sequence step, and its separate Waalaxy AI agent is in beta. HeyReach's messages are templates with variables; per-person writing runs in your own AI client through its MCP. BeReach writes one first message per person on every plan, and you approve it before it goes.
How many invitations can each tool actually send?
Waalaxy caps by plan: at most 11 a day or 300 a month on Pro, up to 100 a day and 200 a week on Advanced and Business. HeyReach publishes no plan cap and paces each sender. The binding limit is LinkedIn's: practitioners plan around roughly 100 invitations a week per account.
