Which fits your situation?
Choose HeyReach if
you have someone to build and run LinkedIn campaigns, you want many senders under one bill (agencies especially), or you're wiring LinkedIn into a Clay/n8n stack you already run.
Choose HeyReach's done-for-you service if
you want an outsourced team to run LinkedIn + email outbound for you and you're comfortable with their stack and process. Ask whose accounts send and who owns the records.
Choose Audienti if
you want outreach to come from the credible people already on your team, human-reviewed until it's right, measured on opportunities your team accepts, without adding tools or headcount.
Audienti is the wrong fit if
you want to operate the tool yourself, you need dozens of senders or agency white-label, high volume is the goal, you have no proven offer, or you can't commit to a 90-day term.
What is HeyReach?
HeyReach is a "LinkedIn Automation Tool For Agencies, Sales & Growth teams" (homepage). The core proposition: connect multiple LinkedIn accounts ("senders"), build outreach campaigns, and HeyReach rotates sending between them automatically.
HeyReach supports connection requests, messages, voice notes, InMails, and profile views. It has a unified inbox across all your senders, MCP/API integrations for connecting AI and other tools, and native email through Instantly and Smartlead integrations.
The vendor claims "Trusted by 7,000+ companies" (homepage). Their footer states HeyReach "is not associated with, or endorsed by, the LinkedIn Corporation."
How much does HeyReach cost?
HeyReach pricing on monthly billing, checked September 25, 2026 (pricing page):
- Growth: $79 per sender per month. Includes dedicated residential proxy per sender, per-sender daily limits, unified inbox, and basic integrations.
- Agency: $999/month for 25 senders. Bring your own proxies, white-label, priority support.
- Unlimited: $2,999/month, fair-use cap of 300 senders.
Quarterly billing saves 10%; yearly saves 20%.
The seat price is one cost. The hidden cost is everything around it: someone's time to build lists, write templates, set up campaigns, and handle replies. If nobody on your team has those hours, the tool sits unused.
Is HeyReach safe for your LinkedIn account?
HeyReach describes several measures on its pricing page:
- Growth plan includes a "dedicated residential proxy" per sender
- Agency and Unlimited plans: bring your own proxies
- Per-sender daily sending limits
- Auto-rotation between senders to distribute activity
The homepage footer states HeyReach "is not associated with, or endorsed by, the LinkedIn Corporation."
LinkedIn's own policy prohibits third-party software that automates activity on its site and says accounts using such tools risk restriction (LinkedIn Help).
That policy applies to every automation tool and to services like Audienti that work through LinkedIn accounts. We do not call any option "safe." The question is whether the operating model fits your risk tolerance.
Many senders or three credible ones?
HeyReach's model is built for volume: connect many LinkedIn accounts, rotate sending between them, reach more people. For agencies and high-volume plays, that is the right tool.
For a mid-market sales team selling to senior buyers, the question is different: which people on your team do buyers actually want to hear from?
With Audienti, outreach runs from three people on your team—your founders, executives, or senior AEs. The connection lands on their profile, the conversation history stays in their inbox, and when they leave (or don't), the relationship stays with your company.
Rotating through dozens of senders and scaling volume is one playbook. Building from credible people who represent your company is another.
HeyReach's done-for-you service vs Audienti
HeyReach offers a done-for-you service at custom pricing: "We run your full outbound motion. You take the meetings."
Their DFY offer includes ICP research, campaign setup, LinkedIn + email outreach using their stack (Clay, Claude, HeyReach, Instantly, Trigify, n8n), and a dedicated GTM engineer and inbox manager.
Fair: both run outbound for you. The differences worth asking about with any DFY provider:
- Whose accounts send? HeyReach's DFY page doesn't specify. Ask whether outreach runs from your team's profiles or theirs.
- Where do the records live? When the engagement ends, whose CRM has the data and relationships?
- What counts as success? Meetings booked, or opportunities your team accepts?
- What's the term? Monthly? Quarterly? Annual?
With Audienti, outreach runs from your team's own profiles. Everything syncs to your CRM. Success is measured by opportunities your team accepts. The term is 90 days.

How does Audienti work?
Audienti is a managed prospecting service. Here is how it works:
- Premise. We build a written premise: why a specific buyer should care now, tied to what your company does and who it helps.
- Signals. We watch for live signals—job changes, funding, content engagement, company news—that make the premise true for a specific person.
- Research. When a signal fires, we research the person, their company, and their situation to find the genuine opening.
- Outreach. Outreach goes from your team's own LinkedIn profiles; email is a secondary channel, not volume-driven. New buyer-facing messages get human review until the system has learned your voice; our operators do the reviewing by default.
- CRM sync. Everything lands in your CRM with the signal that surfaced each prospect. Your team takes the meeting and accepts or rejects the opportunity.
Meetings with the right people. Opportunities Knit could work.
Knit sells vendor-performance management to enterprise CIOs and their teams. Knit wanted more qualified pipeline from its own team. With Audienti, Knit reached relevant buyers, booked meetings, and turned those conversations into opportunities in its own pipeline. Prospects and their activity appeared in Knit's HubSpot, so Matt and his team could see the work and advance the relationships.
“The meetings were with the right people, and they became opportunities in our pipeline.”
Matt Glenn, CEO, Knit
