[Source: help.heyreach.io ↗](https://help.heyreach.io/en/articles/10475396-leads-screen-overview) 2. ### Rebuild the audience in CompLeadly Set the filters right in CompLeadly — the same filter depth as Sales Navigator, without the detour via search links. 3. ### Rebuild the sequence and test in parallel Rebuild your sequence and run both tools side by side for ten days, as long as you don't write to the same audience twice. 4. ### Only then let the subscription go Cancel HeyReach only once your new sequence is running and you have been able to compare results. ## The short version HeyReach and CompLeadly both build LinkedIn sequences with follow-ups, show you which copy lands better, and connect to your own tools via API, webhooks and a native MCP server. HeyReach is built for many senders: you connect several LinkedIn accounts, sending rotates between them automatically, and each account runs through its own static proxy. On top come InMail steps, a shared inbox, a native HubSpot integration and white label from the Agency plan. CompLeadly focuses on LinkedIn relationship signals: profile-based AI messages with style training, Smart Comment AI, congratulations for ten occasions and more than 260 documented reasons why a profile was skipped. At €29.99 a month the entry price is below HeyReach’s $79 per sender. In short: if you run outreach across many accounts, for example as an agency, and want everything in the cloud, HeyReach fits. If you want to work over your own IP, nurture LinkedIn relationships with AI, comments and congratulations, and get in for less, CompLeadly is the better fit. _Competitor details based on publicly available vendor information (heyreach.io, help.heyreach.io), as of 23 September 2026\.

In HeyReach you pull leads from a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search, a CSV file or a HubSpot list, or you search by keyword with a few filters inside 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 HeyReach 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) - [Expandi](https://compleadly.com/comparison/vs-expandi) - [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) [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.
