A capability check, scored the same way for both tools.

"Limited" means available but not a core strength. HeyReach is LinkedIn-first and adds email and proxies separately; Expandi bundles the IP and warmup into the per-account price but is not built for pooled multi-account rotation.
What real users say
Public review scores and the themes that come up most, checked June 2026. Counts drift, so the live links are the source of truth.
HeyReach
Praised for: the multi-account dashboard with sender rotation and unified inbox, simple setup, and responsive support.
Watch-outs: occasional bugs and LinkedIn sessions expiring, cost that climbs as you add accounts, and isolated slow-support reports.
Expandi
Praised for: dedicated IPs and cloud safety over extensions, powerful conditional workflows, and a knowledgeable support team.
Watch-outs: LinkedIn account restrictions reported even on safe settings, a steep learning curve, and team-collaboration gaps.
Read the scores in context. HeyReach scores higher on G2 (4.7) but on a smaller base of around 69 reviews, while Expandi's 4.2 sits on a larger, longer-running sample (about 112 on G2 and 203 on Trustpilot). Both carry LinkedIn-platform risk, and both have account-restriction reports, so weigh the safety themes alongside the score.
Where each one actually wins
Six things separate these tools in practice. Here is the honest call on each.
Multi-account and agency scale
Edge: HeyReachPooled sender rotation, shared seat pools, and a flat-rate unlimited tier are purpose-built for running dozens or hundreds of LinkedIn accounts. Expandi manages multiple accounts but charges per account with no pooled rate, so at high account counts HeyReach wins clearly on economics and workflow.
Account safety and limits
Edge: tieExpandi includes dedicated country IPs and account warmup; HeyReach uses gradual sending, per-account caps, and anti-duplication but you bring your own proxy. Both run from the cloud and both carry LinkedIn-platform risk, with restriction reports on each. Neither can guarantee account safety.
Email and multichannel
Edge: ExpandiNative LinkedIn and email in one sequence, where HeyReach is LinkedIn-first and bolts email on through Smartlead or Instantly. If you want both channels in a single tool without another subscription, Expandi has it built in.
Unified inbox for teams
Edge: HeyReachBoth have a unified inbox, but HeyReach adds reply-on-behalf and voice notes, which matter when an agency inbox manager handles conversations across many client accounts at once.
Pricing model
Edge: dependsFor a few accounts, Expandi's $79 to $99 all-in (IP included) is simpler. For many accounts, HeyReach's $59 per sender at scale or its flat unlimited tier is far cheaper per account. Your account count decides this one.
Ease and setup
Edge: HeyReachReviewers consistently call HeyReach simpler to set up, while Expandi is flagged for a steeper learning curve. Support is praised on both, so onboarding effort is the real difference here.

What each one costs in 2026

white-label, roles, centralized management, CSMCustom
7-day full-feature trial. Personalization add-ons (image and video) are paid extras that raise the real cost. Agency pricing is quote-only.
True cost at scale. The per-account math flips fast. At fifty accounts, HeyReach's Agency tier runs near $1,399 a month, or Unlimited removes the per-seat count entirely. Expandi at fifty accounts on Business is roughly $4,000 to $5,000 a month before any custom discount. But HeyReach's sticker excludes proxies and email, while Expandi bundles the IP in. Price the whole stack, including proxies and the email tool, before you decide.
What neither tool does well
Both are LinkedIn automation tools, so they share the same blind spots. Worth knowing before you expect either to carry your whole motion.
Both automate against LinkedIn's terms, and account restrictions are reported on each regardless of settings. Neither can promise your accounts stay open.
Expandi's email is a companion channel and HeyReach has none natively. Neither replaces a dedicated cold-email platform for real sending volume.
Both run the lists you feed them. Neither sources leads or surfaces buying intent, so targeting is still on you.

Our take, after running both
This one is mostly about account count and channel mix. Here is how we'd call it.
Pooled senders, a unified multi-client inbox, white-label, and per-account economics make multi-account LinkedIn manageable.
Native LinkedIn and email, a dedicated IP, and conditional sequences in one per-account tool fit a solo operator or small team.
Both send connection requests and messages. Neither picks the right accounts or times the outreach on a real signal. That part is on you, or on us.
