REST API and MCP server are included in every plan, including the free version. All prices as stated by the vendor, as of 09/23/2026\. Source: [expandi.io ↗](https://www.expandi.io/pricing/) ## The short version Expandi and CompLeadly both build conditional LinkedIn sequences with workflows and follow-ups, bring email into the sequence, and both offer white label. Expandi scores with dynamic image and GIF personalization, a dedicated agency plan and a cloud IP by country — though partly as paid add-ons. CompLeadly offers white label ([See white label →](https://compleadly.com/white-label)), plus profile-based AI copy with style training, Smart Comment AI, a congratulation automation for ten occasions, a native MCP server, and at $29.99 a month, a noticeably cheaper entry than Expandi's $79 per month on annual billing. In short: if you need dynamic image personalization and an established agency plan for large teams, Expandi fits. If you want white label, a cheaper entry, and deeper AI- and congratulation-driven LinkedIn relationships, CompLeadly is the better fit. _Competitor details based on publicly available vendor information (expandi.io), as of 23 September 2026\.

In Expandi you set up your search in LinkedIn or Sales Navigator and then hand it to the tool. In CompLeadly you set the filters right in the tool: the same filter depth as Sales Navigator, without the detour through LinkedIn and without search links. Or you describe your service and your ideal customers, and the AI builds the audience for you. I've just paid Expandi for a year — is switching still worth it? Test ten days in parallel. Both tools run side by side as long as you don't write to the same audience twice. Afterwards you'll know, without having cancelled anything. How long does switching take? One afternoon: install, connect LinkedIn, create your audience, set up the sequence. In the launch workshop we set it up together with you — included in every package, otherwise $199. ## All comparisons - [Waalaxy](https://compleadly.com/comparison/vs-waalaxy) - [Dripify](https://compleadly.com/comparison/vs-dripify) - [lemlist](https://compleadly.com/comparison/vs-lemlist) - [Linked Helper](https://compleadly.com/comparison/vs-linked-helper) - [Dux-Soup](https://compleadly.com/comparison/vs-dux-soup) - [ZenMode](https://compleadly.com/comparison/vs-zen-mode) - [HeyReach](https://compleadly.com/comparison/vs-heyreach) [All tools at a glance →](https://compleadly.com/comparison) ## You don't have to decide before you've seen it Ten days, no credit card, nothing to cancel.
