These two are the usual shortlist for LinkedIn automation, and comparing them is harder than it looks because almost nothing lines up. One prices in euros and the other in dollars. One publishes invitation quotas per month and the other per week. One starts at nineteen and the other at ninety-nine, which sounds decisive until you notice the nineteen does not include email.

This is what each actually publishes, the arithmetic that makes the quotas comparable, and the ceiling that applies to both regardless of what you pay.

TL;DR

Waalaxy prices per user in euros: Pro at EUR 19 a month with 300 LinkedIn invites, Advanced at EUR 49 with 800 invites and API access, Business at EUR 69 with 800 invites plus cold email and multichannel sequences. Expandi prices in dollars at $99 a month, or $79 on annual billing, and publishes its quota as 300 or more connection requests per week rather than per month. Convert that and Expandi's published ceiling is roughly 1,300 a month against Waalaxy's 800, which is the single biggest structural difference between them. Waalaxy's annual discount is unusually deep at 50%, against Expandi's 20%, so the gap at the comparable tier narrows much less than the sticker prices suggest. Waalaxy gives fourteen days to trial, Expandi seven. Expandi does not publish what a seat covers in terms of LinkedIn accounts, which is worth asking before you commit if you run more than one profile. And the quota that actually binds is neither of theirs: LinkedIn's own tolerance sits below both published ceilings, so the tool that lets you send more is not the tool that will let you send more safely.

What each one publishes

Waalaxy has three tiers, all priced per user in euros. Pro at EUR 19 a month covers 300 LinkedIn invitations a month, unlimited campaigns, pre-built sequences, CRM sync across a stated 2,000 or more tools, and 25 email finder credits. Advanced at EUR 49 raises invitations to 800 and adds API access with Make, Zapier and n8n integrations plus live chat support with a four-hour response target. Business at EUR 69 keeps the 800 invitations and adds cold email sequences, true multichannel across LinkedIn and email, 500 email finder credits and priority support.

Expandi publishes one Business tier at $99 a month, or $79 on annual billing. That is a 20% discount which Expandi describes as equivalent to two months free. It covers unlimited campaigns, multichannel outreach, personalisation, analytics, scheduling and integrations, with a stated ceiling of 300 or more connection requests weekly.

Expandi's agency plan starts at ten seats and is custom priced. It adds a dedicated success manager, specialised support and a white-label option, with Expandi stating that the more seats you take the greater the discount. No figures are published.

Waalaxy's billing has an unusually deep annual option. Monthly as listed, quarterly at 20% off, yearly at 50% off. A 50% annual discount is far outside the normal range and it changes the comparison materially, so price the annual commitment rather than the monthly sticker if you are serious.

Neither has a free plan. Waalaxy gives fourteen days, Expandi seven, both with full features.

Making the quotas comparable

This is the part that decides it for high-volume users, and it is obscured by the units.

Waalaxy publishes monthly invitation quotas. 300 a month on Pro, 800 on both Advanced and Business.

Expandi publishes a weekly figure. 300 or more connection requests per week. Multiplied by 4.33 weeks in an average month, that is roughly 1,300 a month, and Expandi frames it as a floor rather than a ceiling.

So Expandi's published ceiling is around 60% higher than Waalaxy's top tier. If raw volume from a single account is the constraint, that is the finding, and no amount of feature comparison changes it.

But the binding constraint is LinkedIn, not the tool. Both published ceilings sit above what LinkedIn itself will tolerate on most accounts, particularly newer ones or those without a paid seat. A tool quota is permission to send, not safety in sending, and treating the published number as a target is the fastest route to a restricted account.

Which makes the quota comparison less decisive than it looks. For most B2B teams neither tool's ceiling is the limiting factor, so the decision comes back to multichannel, price and how many accounts you run.

Which one fits

LinkedIn only, one or two people, tight budget: Waalaxy Pro. EUR 19 a month per user with 300 invitations covers a founder or a single SDR doing focused outreach, and the annual discount takes it lower still. Nothing else on this comparison competes at that price.

LinkedIn plus email in one sequence: Waalaxy Business or Expandi. This is the real comparison. Waalaxy Business at EUR 69 and Expandi at $79 annual are close enough that currency and quota decide it rather than price, and Expandi's higher published ceiling favours it if volume matters.

Several LinkedIn accounts: ask Expandi what a seat covers first. Expandi does not publish how many LinkedIn accounts a seat includes, and this is the one gap in its published pricing that could change the total materially. Get it in writing before committing.

An agency running many client accounts: neither may be the answer. Expandi's agency tier is custom from ten seats and Waalaxy prices per user, so at scale both become per-seat maths. Our HeyReach pricing breakdown covers a competitor whose flat-fee tiers are built for exactly that shape, and our HeyReach versus Expandi comparison covers that decision directly.

You want a shorter evaluation: Waalaxy gives you double the time. Fourteen days against seven is meaningful when you are testing a sequence that takes a week to produce replies.

What neither of them fixes

Neither tool improves your list. Both will send whatever you point them at, and a badly built list produces a low reply rate and a restricted account regardless of which one sent it.

Neither writes a message worth replying to. Both have templates and personalisation tokens. Neither of those is the reason someone replies.

Neither raises LinkedIn's tolerance. Warming a new account, keeping acceptance rates high and staying well under the published ceiling matter more than any feature either sells.

Neither replaces the seat underneath. These are automation layers on top of a LinkedIn account, and what that account can see and reach is set by whether it is free, Premium or Sales Navigator, which our LinkedIn Premium versus Sales Navigator comparison covers.

FAQ

Is Waalaxy or Expandi cheaper?

Waalaxy, at every published comparison point, though the gap narrows once you account for what each tier includes. Waalaxy Pro is EUR 19 a month per user against Expandi's $99 or $79 annual, but Pro has no email sequencing. The fair comparison is Waalaxy Business at EUR 69 against Expandi at $79 annual, which are close, and Waalaxy's 50% annual discount widens the gap again if you commit for a year.

How many LinkedIn invitations can each tool send?

Waalaxy publishes 300 a month on Pro and 800 a month on Advanced and Business. Expandi publishes 300 or more connection requests per week, which is roughly 1,300 a month on the same basis. Both ceilings sit above what LinkedIn itself reliably tolerates, so the published number is not a target.

Does Waalaxy do cold email as well as LinkedIn?

Yes, on the Business tier at EUR 69 a month, which adds cold email sequences and true multichannel campaigns across LinkedIn and email along with 500 email finder credits. The cheaper Pro and Advanced tiers include 25 email finder credits but not email sequencing, which is the main thing to check before buying on price.

How many LinkedIn accounts does an Expandi seat cover?

Expandi does not publish this, and its own pricing page does not define a seat in terms of connected LinkedIn accounts. If you run more than one profile, ask before committing, because it is the one variable in its published pricing that could change your total materially.

Which has the better free trial?

Waalaxy, at fourteen days against Expandi's seven, both with full feature access. Fourteen days matters for this category specifically, because a LinkedIn sequence takes several days to produce the replies you would judge it on, and a seven-day window often ends before the second follow-up has landed.

Should you use either instead of a LinkedIn-native approach?

Automation is a multiplier on a motion that already works, not a substitute for one. If your acceptance and reply rates are poor manually, either tool will simply produce poor results faster and put the account at risk while doing it. Get the list and the message right first, then automate the sending.

Bottom line

Convert the quotas before you compare anything, because Waalaxy publishes per month and Expandi per week, and on the same basis Expandi's published ceiling is roughly 60% higher. Then note that the ceiling probably does not matter, because LinkedIn's tolerance sits below both. If it is LinkedIn only and the budget is tight, Waalaxy Pro at EUR 19 is not seriously challenged here. If email is part of the sequence, compare Waalaxy Business against Expandi properly, price the annual commitment since Waalaxy discounts at 50%, and ask Expandi what a seat covers before you sign.
