// The nine 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. For round-the-clock operation, you can add your own cloud server with a fixed Surfshark IP.
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.

Cold email and multichannel start on the Business plan at €139, or €69 billed annually (as of 9 October 2026). 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.
