Which HeyReach alternative fits your team?

Three questions about how you prospect today, one recommendation at the end.

HeyReach runs several social accounts from a single dashboard, which is why agencies like it so much. Small teams tend to outgrow it for three reasons: it covers one channel, it can't tell you who's ready to buy, and the bill climbs with every seat you add. Below are nine alternatives that are alive and worth your money, what each one is good at, and how to choose without paying for a stack you don't need.

Stop guessing who to contact. Get the leads who are already looking.

The 9 best HeyReach alternatives

If you're a team of 2 to 10 and you want fewer, better conversations, Gojiberry is the pick, because it works on who you contact rather than how many messages you push out. If you run dozens of accounts for clients, Expandi stays closer to what HeyReach already does for you.

Entry prices come from each vendor's public pricing page, checked in July 2026. They move, and most of them are cheaper on annual billing.

How we tested these tools

We spent roughly a week inside each tool between May and June 2026, on a paid plan whenever the trial ran out before the setup did. The workload we simulated is the one a three person sales team carries: around 400 new prospects a month, split across social and email, with an ICP tight enough that most of a scraped list gets thrown away. Every account was set up from scratch, without vendor onboarding.

What we looked at, in order: how long it takes to get a first campaign live, how much of an imported list survives an ICP check, what happens the moment a prospect replies, and how fast support answers a question that isn't in the help centre. Two things are worth stating before you read further. We pay for these tools like anyone else and no vendor reviewed a line of this article, and Gojiberry is our own product, which is precisely why its limits are written down alongside everyone else's.

The 9 alternatives in detail

1. Gojiberry, the intent based alternative

Gojiberry is an AI powered multichannel prospecting platform. It tracks more than 30 buying intent signals across socials and the web, surfaces the leads who are actively looking right now, and triggers personalized outreach across several channels. Every other tool on this list helps you send more messages, Gojiberry changes who receives them.

What you can do with it:

  • ๐ŸŽฏTrack intent: more than 30 signals, from a new head of sales landing in an account to a hiring push, a funding round or a competitor's post getting engagement.
  • ๐Ÿ”Open the app to a list, not a search bar: the accounts showing activity this week are already there when you log in on Monday.
  • ๐Ÿ’ฌRun one campaign across channels: social and email live in the same sequence, and the first line references the signal that surfaced the lead.
  • ๐Ÿง Filter against your ICP: contacts who don't match get dropped before they reach a sequence, so nobody burns a sender on a bad fit.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ฅWork as a small team: every plan includes 2 social senders, which covers a founder plus a rep without an enterprise contract.
Gojiberry homepage showing warm leads delivered every day

The Pro plan costs $99 a month and includes 2 social senders, unlimited campaigns and the full set of 30+ signals, which covers a founder and one rep without an enterprise contract. Beyond five people there's a custom tier that adds senders and volume, and setup starts with a conversation about your ICP rather than a checkout page.

A message to someone who wrote about your exact problem last Tuesday lands in a different conversation than a connection request sent to a name pulled off a scraped list, and that gap is where the whole product lives: Wispra now sources 60% of its weekly demos from intent signals. What you won't find here is the cheapest way to fire a thousand requests a week, so if raw volume is the plan you're after, Dux-Soup a few rows down will cost you a fraction of this.

2. Waalaxy

Waalaxy is a browser extension for social prospecting, built by a French team and known for a free plan that's usable rather than decorative. It's the softest landing on this list for someone who has never automated anything.

  • ๐ŸงฉPrebuilt sequences: pick a template, drop in a list, and you're running in under an hour.
  • ๐Ÿ“งEmail finder credits: enrich a batch of profiles to add an email step.
  • ๐Ÿ“ŠSimple dashboard: acceptance and reply rates per campaign, without the reporting layer you'd never open.
  • ๐Ÿ”งCRM sync: push contacts out through native integrations or a webhook.
Waalaxy homepage and campaign templates

The free tier is real, and paid plans stay in the low double digits per month per seat, which makes it one of the cheapest ways to test whether automation moves anything for you.

What Waalaxy gets right is the absence of a learning curve, and for a founder who has never touched a sequence builder that counts for more than any feature comparison. The catch sits in the architecture: everything runs through an extension on a single channel, so your campaigns depend on a browser session staying open and the email side never stands on its own.

3. Expandi

Expandi is a cloud tool aimed at people who run many accounts at once, which puts it closest to what HeyReach does. Its reputation was built on account safety rather than on features.

  • ๐Ÿ””Dedicated IP per account: each sender runs from its own country matched address.
  • ๐ŸงญSmart sequences: branch the follow up depending on what the prospect did.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ฅMulti account management: agencies handle client seats from one place.
  • ๐Ÿ”งWebhooks: connect campaigns to the rest of your stack.
Expandi homepage presenting its cloud automation platform

Expect around $99 a month per seat, with agency bundles above that. For a team of three that's roughly $300 before you've added an email tool.

Years of iteration show up in how conservatively it sends, and conservative is exactly what you want when the account at risk belongs to a client who signed a retainer. Where it stops making sense is a small team, because per seat pricing adds up fast and you're still the one deciding, one profile at a time, who deserves a message.

4. Dripify

Dripify sells simplicity: a drag and drop sequence builder, cloud based, with enough reporting for a manager to see who's doing what. It's the tool you pick when the last one felt like a cockpit.

  • ๐ŸงฉVisual drip campaigns: conditions and delays you can set without opening a manual.
  • ๐Ÿ“ŠTeam analytics: per rep activity and conversion, useful for a small crew.
  • ๐Ÿ“จShared inbox: answer replies without leaving the app.
  • ๐Ÿ”งZapier export: move responders into your CRM.
Dripify homepage and its drip campaign builder

Plans start around $59 a month per user, and the cheapest tier holds back the team features you'd probably want.

A rep who has never run a campaign will be shipping one the same afternoon, which matters in a team that can't spare a week for onboarding. The ceiling arrives quickly though, as soon as you want a sequence that branches on anything more subtle than whether someone answered.

5. Lemlist

Lemlist comes at prospecting from the email side and adds a social step on top, which is the reverse of most tools here. Its personalization features are still the best argument for it.

  • ๐ŸŽจPersonalized images and video: insert a visual that carries the prospect's name or site.
  • ๐Ÿ“งDeliverability warmup: ramp new mailboxes before they send at volume.
  • ๐ŸงญMultichannel steps: email, social touch and a call task in one sequence.
  • ๐Ÿ—ƒBuilt in lead database: source contacts without a separate subscription.
Lemlist homepage with its multichannel outreach pitch

Entry plans sit around $39 a month per user, and the multichannel tiers cost noticeably more once you add the database and the social steps.

Nothing else here works as hard to keep a cold email from reading like a template, and for a team whose pipeline comes entirely from the inbox that alone can justify the invoice. The awkward part is paying every month for a lead database you open twice, and for the fact that the product will happily send at the worst possible moment without warning you.

6. PhantomBuster

PhantomBuster isn't a campaign tool so much as a box of automations you wire together yourself, where each Phantom handles a single job: pulling a list out of a search, enriching a batch of profiles, or pushing the result into whatever comes next. Nothing here runs a campaign for you, it prepares the material one step at a time.

  • ๐Ÿ”Scraping: turn a search or a group into a clean CSV.
  • ๐Ÿง Enrichment: add emails and firmographics to a raw export.
  • ๐Ÿ”งFlows: chain Phantoms so one feeds the next on a schedule.
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆAPI access: plug the output into whatever you already built.
PhantomBuster homepage and its automation catalogue

Plans open around $69 a month and are metered in execution time, so a heavy scraping month costs more than a quiet one.

The flexibility is not a marketing claim, and if you can describe a workflow in a sentence you can usually assemble it here in an afternoon. All of it is plumbing though, and someone on your team has to enjoy maintaining plumbing while also carrying a quota, which in a five person company is the same person twice.

7. Dux-Soup

Dux-Soup is one of the oldest tools in this category and by far the cheapest way in. It runs in your browser, which is both the reason it costs so little and the reason it frustrates people.

  • ๐Ÿ“Profile visits and follow ups: the classic drip, with delays you control.
  • ๐Ÿ—ƒTagging and notes: keep a light CRM inside the extension.
  • ๐Ÿ”งCSV in and out: your lists go in and come back out, so nothing gets locked inside the tool.
  • ๐Ÿ’กTurbo tier: adds sequencing and integrations for a bit more.
Dux-Soup homepage showing its browser based automation

The entry plan is about $15 a month, with the Turbo tier around $55, which makes it the budget answer of the nine.

At fifteen dollars the decision barely needs a spreadsheet, which is why the tool is still standing after all these years. You pay for it elsewhere: your laptop has to stay open for anything to run, and there's no cloud, no email channel and no team layer worth the name.

8. Meet Alfred

Meet Alfred bundles social, email and a few extras into one subscription at a price that undercuts most multichannel tools. It's the budget option for a team that wants more than one channel.

  • ๐ŸงญMultichannel campaigns: mix social steps and emails in a single flow.
  • ๐Ÿ“Template library: a starting point for reps who freeze at a blank page.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ฅTeam management: shared templates and per member limits.
  • ๐Ÿ“ŠCampaign reporting: the numbers stay basic, though they carry a weekly review well enough.
Meet Alfred homepage and its multichannel campaigns

Plans start around $29 a month per user, so three reps land near $87, which is hard to beat for multichannel.

You get more channels per euro than anywhere else here, and for a crew that reviews every subscription line by line that's a real argument. The trade shows up the moment you lean on it, because each channel covers the basics and none of them goes deep enough to let you cancel the specialist tool you were hoping to drop.

9. Smartlead

Smartlead is a cold email platform rather than a social one, and it earns a place here because a good share of the teams leaving HeyReach are trading one channel for another rather than adding a second. Everything in it is designed to let you send at volume without burning the domain you send from.

  • ๐Ÿ“งUnlimited mailboxes: spread sending across many addresses on one plan.
  • ๐Ÿ”ฅAutomatic warmup: included rather than sold as an add on.
  • ๐Ÿ“จMaster inbox: every reply from every mailbox in one thread list.
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆDeliverability reporting: spot a domain going bad before it costs you a month.
Smartlead homepage focused on cold email at volume

The Basic plan costs about $39 a month and the Pro tier about $94. That's enough to test the thing properly before committing.

Once you're sending at serious volume the cost per message becomes difficult to argue with, and nothing else here competes on that ground. There's no social side to it whatsoever, which makes it a companion to a social tool rather than a straight replacement for HeyReach.

Nine tools, one question none of them answer

They all make you send more. Gojiberry watches 30+ buying signals across socials and the web, then tells you which accounts are worth a message this week. Free to start, $99 a month after that.

What is HeyReach?

HeyReach is a cloud based social prospecting platform designed around one idea: run many sender accounts from a single place without them stepping on each other. That's an agency problem, and the product is shaped by it. Campaigns are assigned to pools of accounts, replies land in a shared inbox, and each client can be walled off from the next.

What can you do with HeyReach?

  • ๐Ÿ‘ฅRun campaigns across a pool of accounts: one sequence draws from several senders, which spreads the daily limits.
  • ๐Ÿ“จAnswer from a unified inbox: every reply across every account sits in one list.
  • ๐ŸงญSeparate clients: workspaces keep each account's data and reporting apart.
  • ๐Ÿ”งPush data out: native integrations and an API move responders into a CRM.
  • ๐Ÿ“ŠReport per campaign and per account: useful when someone else is paying the invoice.

Pros and cons of HeyReach

What works
What doesn't
  • Multi account management that holds up at agency scale
  • A shared inbox that stops replies from getting lost
  • Clean workspaces for client separation
  • Solid integrations and an API
  • One channel only, so email lives in another subscription
  • No buying intent detection, you still pick targets by hand
  • Cost climbs with every sender seat you add
  • Most of the feature set assumes an agency workflow

How much does HeyReach cost?

The entry plan sits around $79 a month for a single sender seat, and the agency tiers climb into the high hundreds once you're handling dozens of accounts for other people. The pricing is fair for what the product does, it's built around a business model that isn't yours if you're a team of three. Two reps and a founder means three seats, so roughly $237 every month for social outreach and nothing else.

What do HeyReach users think?

The public feedback is consistent enough that summarizing it doesn't require cherry picking. Agencies come back to the account pooling and the shared inbox, and support gets mentioned kindly more often than it does for most tools in this category. The recurring complaints follow the shape of the product: one channel, and a bill that grows with every seat a small team adds. Nobody complains about the missing intent detection, because the product never claimed to offer any.

Why do people look for a HeyReach alternative?

Four reasons come up again and again, and they're all structural rather than bugs.

  • ๐ŸงญOne channel: your buyers don't live in a single app, so you end up paying for a second tool and stitching the reporting together yourself.
  • ๐ŸŽฏNo buying intent: the tool sends what you tell it to send. Choosing who deserves the message is still a manual job, and it's the job that decides your reply rate.
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆPrice per seat: what looks reasonable for one account becomes real money at three or five, and a small team feels it immediately.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ฅBuilt for agencies: workspaces, client separation and account pooling are excellent features. They're also features you'll never open if you sell your own product.

Run the math for a team of three. Three seats at $79 is $237 a month, and that covers social only. Add a cold email tool at $39 to $94 and you're between $276 and $331 a month before a single prospect has replied. The question isn't whether that's expensive, it's what you're buying: more sends, to the same list you picked by hand.

Changing the list changes the arithmetic. GTE Localize booked 100+ meetings after moving from outbound email to intent based outreach, with the same team.

Which HeyReach alternative is right for you?

Gojiberry fits the widest case here, a team of two to ten that needs better conversations rather than more of them. The five profiles after it are the situations where another tool earns its place, and each one says where we sit on that profile.

You're a team of 2 to 10

Gojiberry, because nobody in a team that size has a spare afternoon each week to qualify a list by hand, and the signals take that job off you.

You're an agency at scale

Expandi, whose account pooling, client separation and campaign safety exist for precisely that situation. Gojiberry is the layer you add when the accounts run fine and the lists don't.

You want cheap automation

Waalaxy or Dux-Soup, which start near zero and keep you on a single channel. Perfectly reasonable for a first test, and Gojiberry is the step up once volume stops moving anything.

You live in cold email

Smartlead, where unlimited mailboxes and built in warmup make volume affordable. It has no social side, which is where Gojiberry picks up.

You want multichannel on a budget

Lemlist if the copy matters most, Meet Alfred if the monthly bill matters most, Gojiberry if the timing of the message matters more than either.

You build your own workflows

PhantomBuster, on the condition that someone on the team enjoys maintaining it. Teams who run out of that patience end up on Gojiberry.

For most people reading this, the shortest path is Gojiberry, and the reason is narrow: a team of three can't out send an agency, so the only lever left is contacting better people at a better moment. If you do run twenty client accounts, ignore that advice and stay with a tool built for pooling.

Gojiberry vs HeyReach: which one brings you leads?

Both tools get you in front of prospects, and they do it from opposite ends. HeyReach increases how many accounts you can send from. Gojiberry changes who you send to. That single difference decides which one fits a team of three, because a small team's constraint has never been how many messages it can technically push out.

Which one has the best customer support?

Gojiberry

A human walks you through ICP and signal setup before you send anything, then stays reachable by chat and email in English and French.

HeyReach

Chat and email support with a good reputation among agencies, plus documentation aimed at people already comfortable with the category.

The cheap tiers elsewhere

On entry plans at Dux-Soup, Waalaxy or Meet Alfred, expect a help centre first and a human second. That's the trade for the price.

What that changes in practice

A rep sending 400 connection requests to a scraped list is having 400 conversations with strangers. A rep sending 60 messages to people who changed jobs, posted about the problem or started hiring for the role you sell into is having a different kind of conversation, and it shows up in the reply rate before it shows up anywhere else. Mindflow lifted its reply rate by 31% with intent based outbound, and Baur Software doubled its network while keeping outreach authentic.

Where HeyReach wins, and it does win, is the day you're running fifteen accounts for five clients. Nothing in Gojiberry is designed for that. Pick the tool that matches the shape of your business.

Why we built this in the first place

Before Gojiberry, our cofounders ran Coco.ai. Roman spent his days prospecting on socials, and he kept doing the same manual routine: scanning for people who'd just changed roles, just raised, or just started asking about the problem, then writing to them while the moment was still warm. It worked, and it didn't scale past one person.

Coco.ai became the testing ground. Every signal that survived that period made it into the product, and every one that produced noise got cut. Gojiberry is that manual routine, running on its own.

Your questions about HeyReach alternatives

What's the best HeyReach alternative for cold emailing?

If email is the whole plan, Smartlead is the strongest option of the nine, with unlimited mailboxes, warmup included and a master inbox from around $39 a month. If you'd rather keep email and social inside one sequence instead of paying two subscriptions, Gojiberry and Lemlist both handle that, though only one of them tells you when the moment is right to send.

Which HeyReach alternative is the cheapest?

Dux-Soup, at roughly $15 a month, with Waalaxy's free plan sitting right behind it. Both keep your monthly costs near zero and both keep you on one channel with a browser window open all day. Cheap per month and cheap per meeting are two different numbers, so it's worth working out what a booked call has cost you once the quarter is over.

How do I switch from HeyReach to another tool?

Export your contacts and your campaign data first, then pause the sequences rather than deleting them so nobody receives a follow up from a campaign you've already left. Rebuild a single sequence in the new tool and run it beside the old one for two weeks on a small segment, compare reply rates across the same audience, and move the rest once you've seen the numbers. Give yourself a week rather than a day, mostly because sender warmup takes about that long.

Is there a HeyReach alternative that detects buying intent?

That's the gap Gojiberry fills, and it's why every other row in the table above says no. It tracks more than 30 signals across socials and the web, from role changes to hiring pushes and funding news, then surfaces the accounts worth contacting this week. Wispra now gets 60% of its weekly demos from those signals.

Can a two person team use HeyReach?

Yes, and it'll work. The question is whether you'll use what you're paying for, since the account pooling, the workspaces and the client reporting exist for agencies. At about $79 per sender seat, two people is roughly $158 a month for one channel, and you'll still be building your target lists by hand.

Do these tools put my social account at risk?

Any automation carries some risk, and the way you use it matters more than the logo on the invoice. Cloud tools with a dedicated address per sender are generally safer than browser extensions running from your home connection. Keep daily volumes low for the first two weeks, personalize enough that recipients don't report you, and don't run two tools on the same account at once.

Your next customer is already looking. You just can't see them yet.

Gojiberry tracks 30+ buying signals across socials and the web, surfaces the accounts in market right now, and runs the outreach for you. Built for teams of 2 to 10, with 2 social senders on every plan.
