## Closely review — what it is, what it isn't

Closely's positioning is unambiguous : it's built for teams running outreach across many LinkedIn accounts in parallel. Where Dripify, Expandi, and Waalaxy each focus on the single-power-user use case (one rep, one LinkedIn, sometimes a Chrome extension running on a desktop), Closely runs entirely in the cloud and scales linearly with the number of senders you connect.

The platform layer is more mature than most LinkedIn tools : 600M+ B2B contacts searchable by company, role, industry, and tech stack ; a Sales Nav scraper that exports up to 2,500 leads per search ; integrated email-finding (via Hunter and Snov-style waterfalls) ; and a cold-email sender for the email half of multichannel sequences. AI-assisted personalization (auto-generated icebreakers based on profile, posts, recent activity) is baked in across all paid tiers as of 2025.

Cloud execution is the key differentiator versus Chrome-extension-based competitors. Your sequences keep running when your laptop's closed, when you're on vacation, when you change devices. The trade-off is LinkedIn's anti-automation detection : cloud-based tools are slightly more detectable than the best Chrome-extension tools (Expandi, Heyreach), though Closely's account-rotation + human-emulation features have brought detection rates near parity since the 2024 platform upgrade.

## Closely pricing 2026

Closely's pricing is per-sender (a sender = 1 connected LinkedIn account), with a volume discount as you add more senders. Solo users pay $29-49/sender/month depending on billing frequency. Agencies running 6+ accounts now negotiate Enterprise custom (old $17-29 transparent tier ELIMINATED 2026), which is the lowest per-sender cost in the multi-account category — Heyreach and SuperGrow charge $50-80/sender at the same scale.

All paid tiers include the full feature set (database, scraper, AI personalization, email finder, sequencer). The only locked features are white-label, dedicated CSM, and the API — those gate to Enterprise. Annual billing saves ~40% over monthly across all tiers.
