// The eight tools in detail
CompLeadly: local, on your own machine
Best for: Anyone who wants to run LinkedIn outreach from their own IP address instead of a third-party cloud server.
CompLeadly is a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. Your campaigns run through your own IP address and your own logged-in browser, not through a shared cloud server. You build audiences with the same filters you already know from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator; sequences, follow-ups and congratulation automation run on top of them. A REST API, an MCP server and webhooks push the data into your CRM. The honest downside: your machine has to be running for the automation to work. Continuous 24/7 operation is only possible with a separately booked cloud package — it does not automatically take over the moment your computer goes off.
Waalaxy: Teams who want LinkedIn and cold email running in the cloud without keeping a computer switched on for it.
Waalaxy is a cloud-based LinkedIn alternative. Since 1 July 2026 the tool runs entirely on the vendor's servers; the Chrome extension was removed from the Web Store. That is exactly where Waalaxy is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: campaigns keep running even when your computer is off. Entry pricing is €19 per user per month on the Pro plan billed monthly; cold email and multichannel start on the Business plan at €69. On Trustpilot, Waalaxy sits at 4.7 out of 5 from 1,294 reviews. CompLeadly instead automates locally over your own IP and focuses on Smart Comments, congratulations and an MCP server.
What it does better than CompLeadly: Waalaxy runs fully in the cloud — your campaigns keep running even when your computer is off.

Expandi is a cloud-based multichannel alternative from LeadExpress B.V. in Eindhoven. Every account gets a dedicated country-based IP, and this is exactly where Expandi is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: it runs in the cloud with its own country IP, without you providing hardware or a location. The Business plan costs $99 a month, or $79 billed annually. Agencies get a dedicated plan with white label, roles and client reporting. On Trustpilot, Expandi sits at 4.5 out of 5 from 234 reviews. CompLeadly instead automates locally on your machine and focuses on profile-based AI copy, Smart Comments and congratulations.
What it does better than CompLeadly: Expandi runs in the cloud and gives every account a dedicated country IP — with no hardware of your own and no computer left switched on.
Full comparison — Expandi →Dripify: Sales teams who want LinkedIn and email in one cloud platform with a built-in email finder.
Dripify is a cloud-based LinkedIn alternative with a visual sequence builder, a built-in email finder and email sequences on every paid plan. The Basic plan costs $39 per user per month billed annually, or $59 billed monthly. This is where Dripify is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: sequences run regardless of whether your computer is on, on a consistent account IP you do not have to provide yourself. On Trustpilot, Dripify sits at 4.6 out of 5 from 523 reviews. CompLeadly instead runs as a desktop app over your own IP and focuses on Smart Comments, congratulations for ten occasions and an MCP server.
What it does better than CompLeadly: Dripify runs in the cloud — sequences keep running even when your computer is off, on a consistent account IP.
Full comparison — Dripify →lemlist: Outbound teams for whom email deliverability is business-critical and who run several channels in one system.
lemlist is a cloud-based outbound platform that bundles email, LinkedIn, SMS, WhatsApp and calling into one sequence editor. The email-only plan starts at $69 a month, or $55 billed annually; the multichannel plan including LinkedIn costs $109, or $87 billed annually. This is where lemlist is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: its built-in deliverability infrastructure with lemwarm and rotating IPs is not something local SMTP sending gives you without extra software. On its pricing page, lemlist displays a G2 rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 1,396 reviews. CompLeadly is narrower, goes deeper on LinkedIn and runs locally over your own IP.
What it does better than CompLeadly: lemlist brings its own deliverability infrastructure (lemwarm, rotating IPs) and five channels in a single sequence editor.

Linked Helper is the alternative architecturally closest to CompLeadly: desktop software with its own browser engine that works locally over your own IP — explicitly not a browser extension. The Standard plan with local storage costs $15 a month; a cloud-storage variant starts at $29.90. This is where Linked Helper is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: it brings a built-in CRM with tags, notes and custom fields right inside the tool, and it starts cheaper. Its registered address is in Wilmington, Delaware. CompLeadly instead focuses on congratulations for ten occasions, Smart Comment AI, an MCP server and German-language support.
What it does better than CompLeadly: Linked Helper brings a built-in CRM with tags, notes and custom fields right inside the tool — and starts at $15 a month.

Dux-Soup is the cheapest alternative in this comparison and the only one offering both execution models in the same product: Pro and Turbo run as a browser extension locally over your own IP, while Cloud Dux, Cloud Team and Cloud Agency run in the cloud. This is exactly where Dux-Soup is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: entry costs $14.99 a month, or $11.25 billed annually, and you can switch between local and cloud without changing tools. On Trustpilot, Dux-Soup sits at 4.6 out of 5 from 43 reviews. CompLeadly instead focuses on profile-based AI copy, Smart Comments, congratulations and German-language support.
What it does better than CompLeadly: Dux-Soup has the cheapest entry point in this comparison ($14.99 a month) and lets you choose between local browser execution and cloud.

ZenMode is the only alternative in this comparison selling exactly the same execution model as CompLeadly: a local desktop app for macOS and Windows that automates LinkedIn through your own Chrome and your own IP — the vendor states your password and session never leave your machine. Entry costs $15 a month for one LinkedIn account; the Sensei plan costs $299. This is where ZenMode is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: from the Master plan a team pays a flat rate instead of per seat, and the Sensei plan includes a full white label with a custom domain. On its own testimonial page ZenMode states a Trustpilot rating of 4.3 out of 5, without naming a total number of reviews. CompLeadly instead focuses on AI personalization, congratulations and open interfaces.
What it does better than CompLeadly: ZenMode bills teams as a flat rate rather than per seat from the Master plan, and its Sensei plan ships a full white label with a custom domain.
