30 LinkedIn Automation Tools, One Crawl: 6 Gone, 3 Renamed, Prices From $11 to $149
By Jonah Beckett, Founder-Led Growth & Revenue. Last updated: 2026-08-16
Every "best LinkedIn automation tools" list is a snapshot that starts decaying the day it publishes. We wanted to know how fast, so we took 30 names that would appear on any such list and checked whether they still answer the door.
How many LinkedIn automation tools from a typical list are still alive?
We fixed a corpus of 30 tools before crawling: Expandi, Dripify, Waalaxy, La Growth Machine, Linked Helper, Dux-Soup, Octopus CRM, Zopto, MeetAlfred, Salesflow, Skylead, HeyReach, PhantomBuster, TexAu, Closely, Kennected, We-Connect, SalesRobot, LiProspect, Botdog, LinkedFusion, Linvo, lemlist, Reachium, Salesloop, Reply.io, LinkedRadar, Scrab.in, LeadConnect and Zaplify. Each got a served fetch and a rendered load in headless Chromium.
| Status | Tools | Names |
|---|---|---|
| Live LinkedIn outreach product | 24 | see below |
| Unreachable | 1 | Kennected (connection timed out) |
| Dormant | 1 | LiProspect ("relaunching soon") |
| Broken | 1 | Salesloop (HTTP 500, WordPress critical error) |
| Down | 1 | LinkedRadar (Cloudflare 520) |
| Discontinued | 1 | Scrab.in (pricing page: "has been discontinued") |
| Pivoted out of the category | 1 | Linvo (redirects to Postiz, a scheduling tool) |
| Rebranded or moved domain | 3 | Zopto to Zeekeo, Zaplify to Andsend, Dripify .io to .com |
One in five is gone. Three more would 404 an old bookmark. That is what a year or two does to a category where the barrier to entry is a Chrome extension and the barrier to exit is a lapsed domain.
Which tools are gone, and how do you know?
Each of the six is recorded with the evidence, because "dead" is a strong word.
Kennected's domain refused the connection on port 443 from both a plain HTTP client and a browser. LiProspect's homepage loads a single holding page: "LiProspect Is Evolving. We're thrilled to announce that LiProspect is relaunching soon." Salesloop's homepage returns a 500 with WordPress's "There has been a critical error on this website." LinkedRadar's returns Cloudflare's 520 "unknown error" page from the origin. Linvo's domain redirects to postiz.com, a social-media scheduling product that does not do LinkedIn outreach.
Scrab.in is the strangest case. Its homepage is live and still advertises "You can send up to 500 invitations per day, which is 14,000 invitations per month," a figure roughly 35 times the industry-reported weekly limit. Its pricing page, one click away, says: "Scrab.in Tool has been discontinued. For any question refer to support chat." A tool can be dead and still ranking.

Zopto's domain now redirects to zeekeo.com, and the pricing page carries the Zeekeo brand. Zaplify's redirects to andsend.com. Dripify moved from dripify.io to dripify.com. None of the three is a product failure; all three will break links in older comparison posts, and all three will confuse a buyer who searched for the old name. If you maintain a tools list, these are the three rows to fix first.
What do the survivors charge?
Twenty-three of the 24 live tools publish a per-seat price on the pricing page we rendered. Octopus CRM's linked pricing URL returned a 404. Taking the lowest visible per-seat monthly figure, annual billing where both are shown:
| Band | Tools |
|---|---|
| Under $30 | Dux-Soup ($11.25), Salesflow ($24.99), LeadConnect ($25.95), Waalaxy ($29), MeetAlfred ($29), Reply.io ($29), Linked Helper ($29.90) |
| $30 to $60 | Botdog ($35), Dripify ($39), SalesRobot ($39), LinkedFusion ($46.95), Closely ($49), We-Connect ($49), Andsend (about $49), lemlist ($55, LinkedIn on higher tiers), PhantomBuster ($56) |
| $60 to $100 | HeyReach ($79), TexAu ($79), Reachium ($79 annual, $99 monthly), Expandi ($99), Skylead ($100) |
| Over $100 | La Growth Machine (about $110), Zeekeo ($149) |
Two thirds of the market sits between $25 and $60 a seat, which is roughly the price of a single Sales Navigator licence. The premium tier is small and mostly justifies itself with multichannel scope (La Growth Machine, Expandi's Mobile Connector, Reachium's inbox and CRM). Prices are the lowest visible figure and are noisy for tools that price by account, credit or in euros; the data file lists each.
For what the tools do at those prices, our ranked comparison of LinkedIn automation tools is the companion piece; this one is only about who is still standing and what they charge.
Why does churn in this category matter?
Because the tools hold your LinkedIn credentials, your sequences and your prospect lists, and a vendor that quietly stops answering takes those with it. Kennected did not announce anything on the page we could reach. Salesloop's error page has no forwarding address. A buyer who chose either in 2025 based on a listicle now has a migration project.
It also matters for how the category is read by search engines and answer engines. Every stale listicle that still names Scrab.in, Kennected or Zopto is teaching a model that those are current options. Our audits of how these tools describe their mechanism and what safety they claim use the same 24-tool live corpus, so a reader gets a consistent picture across all three.

Start Free →What are the limits of this map?
One crawl on 2026-08-16. A tool that was down that day may be up tomorrow, and a dormant one may relaunch. "Dead" is recorded with the exact evidence so a reader can re-check. Prices are the lowest visible per-seat figure on the rendered pricing page and will drift. The corpus is 30 recognisable tools, chosen before crawling to avoid picking winners, and is not the whole market. Reachium is in the corpus and was fetched, rendered and priced by the same script as every other tool.
