What Dripify does better

Email as a step in the same sequence on every paid plan, with an email finder[1]. HeyLead emails only as a fallback, to people whose record carries an address.
Team management for a sales team: roles, lead deduplication and rep-level analytics[3].
An Open API and webhooks[4], and A/B testing on the Advanced plan[1].
24/7 live support on every plan[1].

What HeyLead does differently

You brief it in a sentence, from Claude Code, Cursor, any MCP client or the web dashboard. It saves a draft campaign and sends nothing until you press Launch.
Each message is written for the person, in the voice of your own LinkedIn posts. The agents plan each person's next step as accepts and replies land; every decision is readable with inspect or on the campaign page.
Replies are answered from your campaign's facts. Anything ambiguous is held for you, and "not now" gets a check-in in 30 days.
Free is $0 with one LinkedIn seat and cloud sending, no card.

A campaign has one of six goals, and the ICP, the fit check and the messages follow it: Sell a product or service, Find a job, Hire people, Find partners or investors, Find a vendor and Research interviews. Hire people, Find partners or investors and Research interviews run on a custom brief until their message sets exist.

HeyLead sends from your own LinkedIn account at a human pace: at most 20 invitations a day and 100 a week on a free LinkedIn account (more on Premium or Sales Navigator), Monday to Friday 08:00 to 22:00 in your time zone, minutes apart. It backs off when LinkedIn pushes back and resumes on its own. You can pause any campaign at any time.

Choose Dripify if

You want LinkedIn and email steps in one sequence you design[1].
You manage a team of reps and want roles, deduplication and per-rep analytics[3].
You need an API and webhooks to move leads into your own tools[4].

When HeyLead is the wrong choice

You want to design each step of the sequence yourself. HeyLead has no visual sequence editor; the agents choose each person's next step.
You want email in every sequence. HeyLead emails a person only when their record carries an address, 14 days after an invitation with no answer, once you connect a Gmail or Outlook mailbox.
You manage a team of reps. HeyLead has editor and viewer roles per workspace, not a manager view across reps.
You need a CRM other than HubSpot, or a calendar other than Google.

Choose HeyLead if

You would rather describe a campaign in a sentence than build it step by step.
You work in Claude Code, Cursor or another MCP client, and want outreach from the same chat.
You want each message written for the person, in the voice of your own LinkedIn posts, and replies answered from your campaign's facts.
You want a free plan, not a trial.
