For teams that want the work emails found in the same app, and LinkedIn and email replies answered from one inbox.

Side by side
A tick where the tool does it, a dash where it does part of it, through another tool or within a cap, a cross where its pages say it cannot. Expandi's side is from its own pages and its help center.

Why teams switch
AI Search finds the people from one sentence, typed or said, and the ones who fit go straight from the table into the workflow. Nothing to export between tools.
Accepted, they get a LinkedIn message. Not accepted after five days, an email to the work address the table found, from the sender profile's mailbox. A reply on either channel pauses their steps by default.
The table shows each person's stage, the step they are on and how the AI SDR labelled their reply, on the same row as their work email.

Thanks for connecting, Maya. Saw the two SDR roles. Most teams hire before the pipeline is ready for them. Worth comparing notes?
Jordan O.Sounds useful. Can you send a short overview?

Happy to, Maya. Here is a two-page overview of how teams your size run it with GetSales. Would 15 minutes on Thursday help?

Three things we changed in how our SDRs plan the week, and the one we rolled back after a month. Monday starts with the pipeline now, not the inbox. ...more

Curious which one you rolled back. In our experience the shared call list goes first.
Sam K.
It was the shared call list. Nobody owned an account after week two.

That matches what we see. Named accounts per rep usually fix it. Did you go back to territories?

The rest of the market
If you are leaving Expandi for one reason, one of these may fit it better. Each line is what the vendor's own homepage says, read on 27 October 2026.
| Tool | Best for | Channels |
|---|---|---|
| Waalaxy | LinkedIn prospecting and follow‑ups, with email follow‑ups and an email finder | LinkedIn, email |
| HeyReach | LinkedIn outreach across many senders for one fixed cost | LinkedIn, email through Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison |
| Dripify | LinkedIn and email sequences, with an email finder and verifier and a dedicated inbox | LinkedIn, email |
| lemlist | Find and enrich prospects and run outbound across many channels | Email, LinkedIn, calls, WhatsApp, SMS |
| La Growth Machine | Multichannel sequences with data enrichment and a shared inbox | LinkedIn, email, calls |
| Skylead | Multichannel outreach with AI data enrichment and smart sequences | LinkedIn, email |
It depends on why you are leaving. On Trustpilot, read in October 2026, two complaints come back in reviews from 2024 to 2026: a charge after a trial or a cancellation, with the refund refused, and bugs that stall or pause campaigns; many more reviews there praise its onboarding and support. Waalaxy and Dripify pair LinkedIn with email, HeyReach runs many LinkedIn senders for one fixed cost, lemlist adds calls, WhatsApp and SMS, and La Growth Machine and Skylead run multichannel sequences with data enrichment, each from its own homepage, read on 27 October 2026. GetSales finds the people and their work emails, runs the LinkedIn and email steps in one flow and drafts each answer, sent on its own or held for your OK as each scenario sets.
Expandi's Business plan is $99 a month per seat on monthly billing, or $79 a month billed annually and paid upfront, and one seat holds one LinkedIn account at a time. A seat stays billed until you remove it, even with no account connected, and seats added during the 7-day trial are charged when it ends. Agency, for 10 seats and up with white label, is priced on a sales call. Image and GIF personalization cost extra, and video runs through Sendspark, a paid add-on. Its terms make fees nonrefundable unless the law requires otherwise. Read on its site and in its help center on 27 October 2026. GetSales prices LinkedIn accounts, email capacity and data credits on our pricing page, billed monthly, with no per-user fees. Sign up free: Playtables stay free with your own API keys, and LinkedIn and email come with a 7-day trial.
Expandi calls itself a LinkedIn automation tool, for sales teams, lead generation agencies and recruiters. It runs connection requests, messages, InMail, profile visits, likes, endorsements and event invites in sequences with if-then conditions, adds email steps from your own mailbox, and puts the LinkedIn conversations of every account in one inbox. It has native HubSpot, Pipedrive and Salesforce integrations, webhooks, a white label on its Agency plan and an MCP in private beta for Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants. It is priced per seat, one LinkedIn account on each. Read on its site and in its help center on 27 October 2026.
Both are built around LinkedIn outreach with email beside it, and they differ on price and on where email sits. Waalaxy's pricing page prices three plans, Pro, Advanced and Business, per user a month, billed monthly, quarterly or yearly, with cold email sequences on Business only, its LinkedIn Inbox as a paid add-on and a 14-day free trial. Expandi has one published plan, $99 a month per seat or $79 a month billed annually, with email steps in its sequences and a 7-day trial. Both read on their own sites on 27 October 2026.
Both run LinkedIn outreach across many accounts, and they differ on email and on price. HeyReach sends email through Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison and, on monthly billing, prices Growth at $79 a month per sender and Agency at $999 a month for 25 senders. Expandi sends its email steps from your own mailbox inside its sequences and charges $99 a month per seat on monthly billing, with Agency priced on a sales call. Expandi's inbox shows campaign emails beside the LinkedIn messages, view only. Both read on their own sites on 27 October 2026. More on HeyReach on its own page.
Both run LinkedIn and email sequences and price each LinkedIn account. Dripify's pricing page lists Pro at $79 and Advanced at $99 per user a month on monthly billing, or $59 and $79 billed annually, with 100 email finder credits a month, team management on Advanced and a 7-day trial with no card. Expandi is $99 a month per seat, or $79 a month billed annually, and its email step reaches addresses that are public on LinkedIn or in your CSV. Both read on their own sites on 27 October 2026.
No. Its help center says emails in the inbox are view only: you reply from your own mailbox, and the reply shows in Expandi at its next check. It shows an email only for a lead already in Expandi, from the mailbox used for that lead, without attachments, and the box under a conversation sends LinkedIn and Sales Navigator messages only. Its AI writes up to 20 replies a day per LinkedIn account, in English. Read in its help center on 27 October 2026. In GetSales, LinkedIn and email replies from every sender profile land in Unibox, and you answer both from there.
In part. Expandi's help center says that once a builder campaign has been activated, its flow can no longer be changed: steps cannot be added, removed or reordered, while delays and message copy still can. It also caps an account at 15 active campaigns at a time and 5,000 leads per campaign. Read in its help center on 27 October 2026. In GetSales you edit a draft beside the live version, adding or removing steps, and publish it while the workflow runs. People who enter from then on take the new version, and the people already inside finish the one they started.
Yes, by setting the outreach up again in GetSales: there is no Expandi integration, and campaigns are not copied over. Expandi's help center, read on 27 October 2026, says a cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing cycle, so the seats you paid for keep working while you move. Bring your leads as a CSV, or from a LinkedIn search or Sales Navigator. A person already in any table of your workspace is not added again. Connect your LinkedIn account and your mailboxes as a sender profile, then build the workflow, or let Creator build it from one sentence.
Moving over
Each LinkedIn account and its mailboxes become one sender profile, in one flow.
