 "summary": "LinkedIn outreach automation for outbound sales teams — connection requests, follow-up sequences and Open InMails, with email steps for multichannel campaigns, plus an admin panel and seat management for agencies.",
 "best_for": "outbound sales teams and agencies running LinkedIn sequences across several seats, where the per-seat price drops and the admin panel earns its keep",
 "skip_if": "you are one person sending a handful of connection requests a week — the quotas are far above what you need and the seat price is at its highest",
 "honest_knock": "The per-seat rate falls with team size but the monthly bill does not follow it: 19 seats on Starter is $1,330 while 20 seats on Pro is $799, so a team that stops one seat short of a tier pays $531 a month more for less. The same cliff sits at 49-to-50 seats and again at 99-to-100. And the monthly quotas are the real ceiling: 400 invites and 800 Open InMails is a fixed budget, not a starting point.",

Agency and Enterprise require an annual commitment billed monthly, and the comparison table adds seats one at a time on Basic, Starter and Pro but in batches of 5 on Agency and 10 on Enterprise. Longer terms are discounted on top of that: 15% off at six months and 30% off at twelve. There is no free tier and the trial is seven days without a card. The monthly quotas — around 400 LinkedIn invites, 2,000 follow-up messages and 800 Open InMails — are reported by independent reviews and do not appear on the pricing page itself.",
