## What HeyReach does better

- Many senders under one price: the Agency plan bundles 25 senders for $999 a month, and team members are free [[1]](https://www.heyreach.io/pricing). HeyLead charges $29 for each connected account.
- One inbox across every sender, and white-label included on Agency [[1]](https://www.heyreach.io/pricing). HeyLead has no white-label.
- Voice notes, including AI voice notes in the sender's voice [[3]](https://help.heyreach.io/en/articles/16790621-ai-voice-notes-overview). HeyLead sends no voice messages.
- Email through Instantly and Smartlead [[5]](https://www.heyreach.io/multichannel-outreach), and an API with custom webhooks [[1]](https://www.heyreach.io/pricing).

## What HeyLead does differently

- You brief it in a sentence and it saves a draft campaign. Nothing is sent 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 HeyReach if

- You run many LinkedIn sender accounts and want one price for a bundle of them [[1]](https://www.heyreach.io/pricing).
- You need white-label for clients [[1]](https://www.heyreach.io/pricing), or voice notes [[3]](https://help.heyreach.io/en/articles/16790621-ai-voice-notes-overview).
- Your email already runs in Instantly or Smartlead and you want LinkedIn next to it [[5]](https://www.heyreach.io/multichannel-outreach).

## When HeyLead is the wrong choice

- You run dozens of sender accounts. HeyLead bills each connected account at $29 a month and has no bundle.
- You need white-label or voice messages. HeyLead has neither.
- You need email through Instantly or Smartlead, or a CRM other than HubSpot.

## Choose HeyLead if

- You are a founder or a small team with one or a few LinkedIn accounts, and want to start at $0 with no card.
- You want the people found from a sentence, and each message written in the voice of your own LinkedIn posts.
- You want opening messages and follow-ups to wait for your approval until you switch to autopilot.
- Your campaign is not only sales: a job search or vendor scouting has a goal of its own.
