What Waalaxy does well

  • According to Waalaxy's help center, campaigns run regardless of whether your machine is on or your browser is open.
  • Cold email and LinkedIn in one plan from Business upward — without setting up your own SMTP server.

CompLeadly is right for you if

  • You want to build relationships with Smart Comments and congratulations, not only send message chains.
  • Your AI messages should use profile context and learn your own writing style.
  • REST API, webhooks and a native MCP server should keep your workflows openly integrable.
  • Your own IP, German data routes and support from real humans are central for you.

Go with Waalaxy instead if

  • Waalaxy starts cheaper and is quick to set up for simple LinkedIn sequences.
  • Waalaxy bundles cold email and an Email Finder directly in its Business plan.
  • Waalaxy's publicly advertised trial is four days longer.

Switch to CompLeadly if

  • You want to automate LinkedIn from your own machine and your own IP instead of someone else's servers.
  • You want to comment on posts and congratulate on ten occasions, not only send sequences.
  • You need German-language support, a documented REST API and an MCP server.

Stay with Waalaxy if

  • Your campaigns should keep running while your computer is off.
  • You want to send cold email without running your own SMTP server.
  • The €19-a-month entry price is your most important criterion.

What it costs per year

Waalaxy – Business (multichannel)

€34.50 per year

CompLeadly – Premium

€599.88 per year

The annual price is derived from the 50% annual-billing discount Waalaxy states; the vendor does not publish an absolute annual figure. The comparison uses CompLeadly Premium because the table shows email sending and CRM connections, which are only included from Premium upward.

The short version

Waalaxy and CompLeadly both run classic LinkedIn sequences with follow-ups and templates — connection requests, messages and profile visits are automated on both.

Waalaxy scores with a cheaper entry price, a 14-day trial, and adds cold email plus a credit-based Email Finder on its Business plan. CompLeadly focuses on relationship signals beyond the sequence: Smart Comment AI, a congratulation automation for ten occasions, A/B testing for audiences and copy, and a native MCP server for your own AI agents — on top of that, CompLeadly runs over your own IP with German data routes instead of purely in the cloud — Waalaxy retired its Chrome extension on 1 July 2026 and has run fully cloud-based since.

In short: if you want the cheapest way into ready-made multichannel sequences, look at Waalaxy. If you want to systematically nurture LinkedIn relationships beyond the message and keep control over your own IP and German data routes, CompLeadly is the better fit.

The other tools from our comparison – each with the one point where it beats CompLeadly.

Expandi

from $99.00/month · Cloud

Expandi is a cloud-based multichannel alternative from LeadExpress B.V. in Eindhoven.

The Business plan costs $99 a month, or $79 billed annually. Agencies get a dedicated plan with white label, roles and client reporting. On Trustpilot, Expandi sits at 4.5 out of 5 from 234 reviews.

Best for: Agencies and sales teams running several client accounts from the cloud with their own country IP.

lemlist

from $69.00/month · Cloud

lemlist is a cloud-based outbound platform that bundles email, LinkedIn, SMS, WhatsApp and calling into one sequence editor. The email-only plan starts at $69 a month, or $55 billed annually; the multichannel plan including LinkedIn costs $109, or $87 billed annually. This is where lemlist is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: its built-in deliverability infrastructure with lemwarm and rotating IPs is not something local SMTP sending gives you without extra software. On its pricing page, lemlist displays a G2 rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 1,396 reviews. CompLeadly is narrower, goes deeper on LinkedIn and runs locally over your own IP.

Best for: Outbound teams for whom email deliverability is business-critical and who run several channels in one system.

Better than CompLeadly: lemlist brings its own deliverability infrastructure (lemwarm, rotating IPs) and five channels in a single sequence editor.

ZenMode

from $15.00/month · Local desktop app

ZenMode is the only alternative in this comparison selling exactly the same execution model as CompLeadly: a local desktop app for macOS and Windows that automates LinkedIn through your own Chrome and your own IP — the vendor states your password and session never leave your machine. Entry costs $15 a month for one LinkedIn account; the Sensei plan costs $299. This is where ZenMode is objectively ahead of CompLeadly: from the Master plan a team pays a flat rate instead of per seat, and the Sensei plan includes a full white label with a custom domain. On its own testimonial page ZenMode states a Trustpilot rating of 4.3 out of 5, without naming a total number of reviews. CompLeadly instead focuses on AI personalization, congratulations and open interfaces.

Best for: Solo sellers and small agencies who automate locally and need a white label with a custom domain at a flat rate.

Better than CompLeadly: ZenMode bills teams as a flat rate rather than per seat from the Master plan, and its Sensei plan ships a full white label with a custom domain.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to bring my audiences over from Waalaxy?

No — you build them fresh, and faster than before. In Waalaxy you set up your search in LinkedIn or Sales Navigator and then hand it to the tool. In CompLeadly you set the filters right in the tool: the same filter depth as Sales Navigator, without the detour through LinkedIn and without search links. Or you describe your service and your ideal customers, and the AI builds the audience for you.

I've just paid Waalaxy for a year — is switching still worth it?

Test ten days in parallel. Both tools run side by side as long as you don't write to the same audience twice. Afterwards you'll know, without having cancelled anything.

How long does switching take?

One afternoon: install, connect LinkedIn, create your audience, set up the sequence. In the launch workshop we set it up together with you — included in every package, otherwise €199.

You don't have to decide before you've seen it

Ten days, no credit card, nothing to cancel. If Waalaxy suits you better, you'll know it afterwards as surely as we do.
