HeyReach vs Waalaxy
HeyReach and Waalaxy overlap without being the same purchase: HeyReach is aimed at an agency running many client accounts and Waalaxy at one person running their own outreach. Both will do the job the other is built for, less well. Decide which channel or which size of operation is actually yours, and the answer follows from that rather than from a feature list.
What each one is
HeyReach
LinkedIn-only automation built for agencies running outreach across many sender accounts.
How it runs: LinkedIn-only by design, with dedicated residential proxies and a unified inbox spanning senders.
Waalaxy
Entry-level LinkedIn outreach with a free tier, aimed at first-time users.
How it runs: Primarily a Chrome extension on the cheaper plans, so automation runs while your browser is open.
Where they actually differ
Structural differences only. Anything either of them could change next quarter is left out on purpose.
Channels
Both cover LinkedIn. Waalaxy adds email.
Where it runs
HeyReach runs in the cloud, so it keeps working with your browser closed. Waalaxy is a browser extension at its core, with a cloud tier on the higher plans. This is the difference people notice first in daily use.
Who it is for
HeyReach is aimed at an agency running many client accounts. Waalaxy is aimed at one person running their own outreach. Buying the one built for a bigger operation than yours means paying for administration you will not use.
Trying it for nothing
Waalaxy has offered a free tier and the other has not, which makes it the cheaper way to find out whether this category suits you at all. Check both directly, because this is the kind of thing that changes.
What they have in common
- Both work over LinkedIn.
- Both are organised around LinkedIn.
- Both build a campaign and push contacts through it, which is the assumption they share and the one OutreachConvert does not make.
What each is good at
Stated plainly, because it is true of both.
HeyReach
- Purpose-built for many accounts at once
- A unified inbox across senders
- A whitelabel tier for agencies
Waalaxy
- A usable free tier
- Low commitment to try
- Approachable for a first automation

Choose Waalaxy when

A third option, if neither fits
Both HeyReach and Waalaxy start from a list: you choose who to contact, then a sequence decides when. OutreachConvert starts from an event. It watches the connections you already have, notices when somebody changes role or posts something worth answering, drafts a reply to that specific thing, and holds it for you to approve before anything sends. If your problem is reaching more strangers, neither of those sentences helps you and one of the two above is the better buy. If your problem is that the right people are already in your network and you never catch the moment, that is the gap this fills.

Can you use HeyReach and Waalaxy together?
You can, but there is little point. They overlap enough that the second one mostly duplicates the first, and two tools driving the same LinkedIn account doubles the activity that account is judged on without doubling what you get back.
