Where Closely wins

  • Email and LinkedIn in one campaign

    Closely runs multichannel campaigns across LinkedIn and email with enrichment built in. We are LinkedIn only and don't find email addresses.

  • Cheaper paid yearly

    Closely's Starter is $39 a month billed yearly, against our $20 a month yearly. Paid monthly, it is $65 against our $29.

  • A trial first

    Closely offers a free trial on every plan. We have no trial; we refund your first payment within 14 days instead.

What you get with Connected Outreach

  • One price, every tool

    There is one plan with all six tools: $29 a month, $78 every 3 months ($26 a month), $139 every 6 months ($23 a month), $239 a year ($20 a month). No tiers, no per-seat add-ons.

  • Leads are part of the plan

    The built-in finder searches LinkedIn people by keywords, job title, industry and company, or from a pasted LinkedIn people-search link: 300 finds a month. You can also upload a CSV.

  • A live log and a daily report

    Every run has a live log and a cancel button, and a short daily report arrives in Telegram through your own bot.

Switching from Closely

Can I bring my leads over from Closely?
Yes, if you can export them. Save the list as a CSV with a column of LinkedIn profile links and upload it on the Leads page. Run Profile Scraper once to fill in names and companies. You can also let the lead finder build a new list from a job title.
Should I run Closely and Connected Outreach at the same time?
No. Pause or cancel your Closely campaigns before you start here, so two tools never act on the same LinkedIn account. One account, one tool at a time.
Can my LinkedIn account still be restricted?
Yes, with any tool. Automating LinkedIn is against its terms, so there is always some risk. We keep it lower with fixed caps (20 connection requests a day and at most 100 in any 7 days), a random gap between sends, your own static IP address in your country, and runs that stop when LinkedIn shows a security check. We reduce the risk; we never remove it.
Does a sequence stop when someone replies?
It checks the conversation before each message and skips anyone who has replied, but that check has not been proven against live LinkedIn yet. Keep sequences to one or two messages and read your LinkedIn inbox every day.
Is there a free trial, and can I cancel?
There is no free trial. If it isn't right for you, ask within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full. Cancel any time from the billing portal; the plan runs to the end of the paid period.
