HeyReach is built around LinkedIn campaigns across sender accounts, client workspaces and a shared inbox. It also imports leads directly from several LinkedIn sources. Leadsforlinked combines profile extraction with optional campaign, inbox and AI tools. The useful comparison is the job you need to finish, not whether one product can claim the longest feature list.
Disclosure: we make Leadsforlinked. This comparison checks HeyReach's current public documentation against our observed product and plan catalogue. It is not a head-to-head campaign performance test.
What is HeyReach?
HeyReach is a LinkedIn outreach platform for individual senders, sales teams and agencies. Its agency workflow is especially relevant when you manage several clients and need separate workspaces, sender pools and permissions. A solo operator can also use its Growth plan; you do not have to be an agency.
Its Leads documentation lists direct imports from standard LinkedIn People search, Sales Navigator, Recruiter, event attendees and post reactors, alongside CSV and HubSpot. A separate extraction subscription is therefore not an automatic requirement. The same screen can combine, intersect or exclude lists and export the default columns to CSV; custom variables are excluded from that export.
When a smaller workflow may be enough
If your immediate need is a file of selected profiles, buying a multi-account campaign system may be more than the task needs. Start by specifying the columns and destination: a research sheet, a CRM import or a campaign. Profile export, verified email enrichment and message sending are different jobs.
- You only need a profile CSV. Try an initial export and inspect the actual fields. Leadsforlinked's free path and Basic plan cover extraction and CSV; campaigns are a separate upgrade.
- You want one LinkedIn account's campaigns and pipeline. Compare the controls you will actually use with Starter, not with an extraction-only price.
- You manage clients or several staff members. Keep workspace separation and human permissions in the decision. Three connected LinkedIn accounts are not proof of three human seats or equivalent client workspaces.
If HeyReach's native imports and workspaces already do the job, keep them. For a mixed-source CSV with custom fields, our HeyReach CSV preparation guide explains the mapping checks. It describes a manual file handoff, not a tested direct integration.
HeyReach vs Leadsforlinked: compare the workflow
| Your requirement | HeyReach | Leadsforlinked |
|---|---|---|
| Collect profiles from LinkedIn search | Native LinkedIn and specialist-source imports are documented. | Standard People search → Chrome extension → app audience → CSV is the checked free route. Sales Navigator is optional for that route. |
| Download a profile file | Leads screen exports default fields; custom variables are excluded. | One existing-free-account check produced a 10-row file with 11 headers. Inspect completeness for your own source. |
| Run LinkedIn campaigns | Campaigns and unified inbox across connected senders. | Starter adds campaigns, inbox, Kanban and analytics for one connected account. |
| Manage an agency's senders | Growth per sender; fixed Agency pools of 25 or 50; Unlimited capped at 300. | Diamond Plus includes three connected LinkedIn accounts. This does not establish HeyReach-equivalent team permissions. |
| Use AI in the workflow | Documents an MCP connection to external AI agents; evaluate the connected workflow you need. | Diamond Pro includes AI Hunter, lead scoring and AI Responder. Controls were inspected; reply quality and execution were not benchmarked. |
| Evaluate before subscribing | 14-day no-card trial, without automatic conversion to paid. | 100 signup profile leads once, released in batches of 20; no card. Paid campaigns and AI have separate plan gates. |
Compare the right plans and billing terms
Prices checked 20 October 2026. HeyReach quotes below are USD before VAT; Leadsforlinked quotes are EUR on monthly billing. They are different products and currencies, so these are not currency-adjusted savings calculations. Check the current checkout and billing terms before buying.
HeyReach's monthly pricing starts Growth at $79 per sender. Its fixed Agency pools are $999 for 25 senders or $1,399 for 50; Unlimited is $2,999, with a 300-sender cap. Growth also has volume tiers. Quarterly and annual commitments change the figures.
For Leadsforlinked, choose the task before the tier:
- Basic: €4.99/month. Recurring profile extraction, CSV export and audiences.
- Starter: €29/month. Basic plus one connected LinkedIn account, multi-step campaigns, inbox, Kanban and analytics.
- Diamond Pro: €79/month. Starter plus auto-sourcing, AI lead scoring, AI Hunter and AI Responder.
- Diamond Plus: €149/month. Pro plus monitoring, three connected LinkedIn accounts in total and priority support.
You can choose a subscription directly. There is no requirement to buy a lead pack first or exhaust the free allowance. Plan allowances do not guarantee accessible profiles, complete fields or unrestricted LinkedIn throughput.
Try the profile file before changing your stack
- Set your audience rule. Open a standard LinkedIn People search and inspect whether the available filters find relevant people.
- Install and sign into the Chrome extension. Follow the app's Extension page, then collect a small supported search into an app audience.
- Download from the audience in the app. Choose Export to CSV and keep the raw file before editing it.
- Check the next system's needs. Review profile identity, missing fields and duplicates. Map columns deliberately before importing anywhere.
Our 18 October check with one existing free account produced 10 rows and 11 headers. Company was filled in one row and blank in nine, and there were no email or phone columns. That is one sample, not a source-wide completeness rate, a fresh-signup test or proof of a saved Sales Navigator list export. See the actual header row and sample limitations before planning a larger job.
The signup offer is 100 profile leads once, no card, released in batches of 20. Use the sample to decide whether the fields fit your work. If you need verified contact details, that requires a separate verification step; a profile record does not establish permission to contact someone.
When to choose each
Keep or choose HeyReach when its native imports cover your sources and you need client workspaces, delegated team access or a large sender pool. Its permission model documents Admin and Member roles and workspace/screen access. Check inbox visibility against your client requirements.
Try Leadsforlinked's profile route when the first task is a selected-person CSV from standard LinkedIn search. If the file meets your requirements and you repeat the task, Basic is the relevant recurring plan. You do not need to buy campaigns to obtain a profile file.
Compare Starter or a higher tier when you want extraction, LinkedIn campaigns and pipeline work together for your own operation. Choose Pro for its AI tools or Plus for monitoring and three connected accounts; do not assume those accounts provide separate staff roles or client workspaces.
Neither product makes automated LinkedIn activity risk-free. LinkedIn's prohibited-software policy applies to scraping extensions and automation. Browser operation, pacing and a vendor's allowance are not LinkedIn approval.

Frequently asked questions
Does HeyReach require a separate lead-sourcing tool?
Not for every list. HeyReach documents native imports from LinkedIn People search, Sales Navigator, Recruiter, event attendees and post reactors, plus CSV and HubSpot. Check whether those inputs already cover your audience before adding another tool.
Is HeyReach priced per account?
Growth is priced per connected LinkedIn sender. Agency has fixed 25- and 50-sender pools, while Unlimited is a flat plan capped at 300 senders under the published fair-use policy. The price therefore does not always rise linearly with each account.
Is HeyReach free?
HeyReach documents a 14-day trial with no card required; it does not automatically become a paid subscription. Leadsforlinked offers 100 profile leads once at signup, released in batches of 20, with no card required. That allowance is not a trial of every paid feature.
Do I need Sales Navigator for a profile CSV?
Not for the standard LinkedIn People-search route checked with an existing Leadsforlinked free account. Collect profiles with the Chrome extension into an app audience, then export CSV from that audience. The one checked file contained 10 rows and 11 headers; complete saved-list extraction is not established.
Which Leadsforlinked plan includes LinkedIn campaigns?
Starter is EUR 29 per month on monthly billing and adds one connected LinkedIn account, multi-step campaigns, an inbox, Kanban pipeline and analytics. Basic is EUR 4.99 per month for recurring extraction, CSV export and audiences. Diamond Pro adds AI tools; Diamond Plus includes three connected accounts. Connected accounts do not establish separate human team seats.
Can I import a Leadsforlinked CSV into HeyReach?
Treat this as a manual file handoff. Check and map your own exported fields against HeyReach requirements before import. The separate custom-variable guide explains that preparation; an end-to-end destination import was not tested, so this is not a verified one-click integration.
