Where HeyReach is the better choice.
Stated plainly, because a comparison that wins every row is an advert.
Bundle and unlimited-sender plans that suit very large sender counts.
Integrations with Clay, Instantly, Smartlead and others, if your stack is built around them.
A white-label app on the Agency plan; we white-label the client reports, not the app.
A longer track record. We're a newer product.
Where Outember differs from HeyReach.
- 01
Native cold email
Email steps send from your own Google, Microsoft or SMTP/IMAP mailboxes inside the same sequence, with daily limits, a 21-day ramp-up, a DNS checker and threaded follow-ups. No second tool to pay for or connect.
- 02
AI included
AI writes each note, message and email from the person's profile and recent posts, with an optional review queue, and every reply is classified with a suggested answer. It's in every plan.
- 03
CRM sync built in
HubSpot, Pipedrive and Salesforce sync on a reply, an interested reply or an accepted invite, with the reply logged on the record.
Moving from HeyReach in an afternoon.
Five steps, and nobody hears from you twice.
Step 1: Pause the old campaigns
Never run two automation tools on the same LinkedIn account at once. Pause your campaigns in HeyReach first.
Step 2: Export your leads
If HeyReach lets you export your lists, a CSV with names and LinkedIn profile URLs is all you need. No export? A LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search link rebuilds the list.
Step 3: Import the CSV
Columns are matched automatically, duplicates are merged, and any extra column becomes a {{variable}} you can use in messages.
Step 4: Bring your do-not-contact list
Upload the people, emails, domains and companies you never want to contact. Every campaign checks the list before each action.
Step 5: Connect and relaunch
Connect your accounts on the Safe preset (your LinkedIn conversations are imported into the inbox), rebuild the sequence from a template, and launch.
