Expandi Pricing 2026: Real Cost vs Listed $99/mo Plan

Expandi advertises a simple, all-inclusive plan at $99/month. What the pricing page doesn't make immediately obvious is that the personalization features they prominently market โ€” personalized images, GIFs, and videos โ€” each require a separ

Expandi's pricing plans

Expandi ships 2 tiers. Per-seat pricing combined with a credit system for data lookups - the listed price is rarely the real cost.

Business

$79/mo annual (-20%, $950/year) $99/mo monthly
  • Credits1 LinkedIn account/yr
  • Min seats1
  • 1 LinkedIn account (cloud-based, dedicated IP)
  • Smart warm-up + safety algorithms
  • If/then conditional campaign logic
  • LinkedIn + email sequencing combined
Per-LinkedIn-account model (no per-user fee). 7-day trial. The headline $99 doesn't include personalization add-ons (images, GIFs, videos) โ€” those cost +$69-$118/mo extra. Most marketed differentiators are PAID add-ons.

Agency / Custom

Annual contract typical Custom (10+ accounts) monthly
  • Credits10+ accounts/yr
  • Min seats1
  • 10+ LinkedIn accounts (agency model)
  • Volume discount on per-account price
  • Centralized agency dashboard
  • Dedicated account manager
Hard 10-account minimum to access agency tier โ€” below that you're stuck on Business pricing ($99/account). For agencies managing 3-9 client accounts, the math doesn't work โ€” HeyReach Agency tier (50 senders at $20 each annual) is materially cheaper.

Hidden costs to know before buying Expandi

Things Expandi's pricing page doesn't put in big type.

Personalized images add-on = +$69-$118/mo

Expandi's marketing showcases personalized images, GIFs, and videos as core features. They're actually PAID add-ons via Hyperise integration : ~$69/mo for images, +$118/mo for video. Buyers expecting these in the $99 base tier get the bill mid-month.

Sales Navigator effectively required ($1,188/year/seat)

Most powerful Expandi workflows (advanced search, hyper-targeting, smart sequences) leverage Sales Nav data. Without Sales Nav per active user, you lose 60-70% of the platform's value. Add $99/seat/mo per active rep.

Agency tier requires 10+ LinkedIn accounts

Below 10 accounts you pay Business rate ($99/account annual or $79 annual = $948/year per account). For 3-9 client accounts, HeyReach Agency ($999/mo for 50 senders = $20/sender) is 60-75% cheaper at equivalent volume.

7-day trial only โ€” very short evaluation

Most LinkedIn automation tools offer 14-30 day trials. Expandi gives 7 days. Hard to assess sequence performance + safety in 1 week (typical LinkedIn warm-up is 2-3 weeks). Test cautiously.

Cloud-based + dedicated IP = real safety moat

Unlike Chrome-extension tools (Dripify, MeetAlfred light tier), Expandi runs cloud-based with dedicated IPs per account. For account safety + LinkedIn ToS posture, this is the platform's main moat. Worth the $99 if you've been LinkedIn-restricted before.

Expandi’s $99/month sits in the mid-to-premium range for LinkedIn automation. Its real differentiators are cloud-based safety (dedicated IPs, smart warm-up), the if/then conditional campaign logic, and the combined LinkedIn + email sequencing. For teams where those capabilities matter, the price is justifiable. For simpler use cases, tools like Dripify or Meet Alfred offer comparable automation at 40โ€“50% less.

Should you buy Expandi? Our verdict

Pick Expandi ifโ€ฆ

  • You've been LinkedIn-restricted before and need cloud-based + dedicated IP for safety
  • Your motion needs if/then conditional logic + LinkedIn + email in one sequencer
  • You're a 1-2 account team where account safety > raw cost (vs HeyReach/Dripify trade-off)

Skip Expandi ifโ€ฆ

  • You're an agency with 3-9 client accounts โ€” HeyReach Agency ($20/sender annual at scale) is 60-75% cheaper
  • You don't need personalized images/GIFs โ€” the +$69-$118/mo add-on math kills the headline value
  • You want a simpler tool โ€” Dripify ($39 annual) covers basic LinkedIn automation at 50% the cost

Pick Derrick instead ifโ€ฆ

  • You need to enrich LinkedIn prospect lists in Google Sheets BEFORE pushing to Expandi โ€” $10/mo flat
  • You want phone + tech + firmographics on top of your LinkedIn-sourced leads without another subscription
  • Your team works in Sheets and wants the data layer there, not in Expandi's UI

Expandi is a well-built, cloud-based LinkedIn automation platform with strong conditional sequencing, genuine multi-channel capability, and safety features that matter for LinkedIn account longevity. At $99/month base, it delivers solid value for teams where LinkedIn outbound is a core revenue activity.

The pricing story is more nuanced than it first appears. If your sequences rely on personalized images or video thumbnails โ€” features Expandi markets prominently โ€” the real cost is closer to $200/month per seat. For agencies managing 5+ accounts, the per-seat model adds up to $400โ€“500/month before add-ons.

For teams that need enriched, complete prospect lists before automation, Expandi pairs naturally with Derrick โ€” which handles the enrichment side natively in Google Sheets, without requiring LinkedIn Sales Navigator.


FAQ - Common questions about Expandi pricing

How much does Expandi cost per month?

Expandi charges $99/month per LinkedIn account with monthly billing, or $79/month ($950/year) with annual commitment. Note that image/GIF personalization (Hyperise, ~$69/month) and video personalization (Sendspark, ~$49/month) are add-ons not included in this price.

Does Expandi have a free plan?

No permanent free plan. Expandi offers a 7-day free trial with access to all Business plan features and no credit card required. Action limits are reduced during the trial to protect account safety during the warm-up period.

How much does Expandi cost for an agency with 10 accounts?

Agency pricing for 10+ accounts is available on request. Based on G2 and Capterra user reports, expect roughly $79/month per account at 10โ€“20 account volumes, with larger discounts (30โ€“40%) available for 50+ accounts. Contact Expandi’s sales team for a formal quote.

Do I need LinkedIn Sales Navigator to use Expandi?

No. Expandi works with a free LinkedIn account or any premium tier. Sales Navigator is not required for core automation features. It does unlock Open InMails (messages to non-connections) and improves search targeting for list building, but it’s optional.

What are Expandi's main limitations?

Expandi doesn’t include native data enrichment, email finding, or LinkedIn scraping. You must supply your own enriched contact lists. Daily action volumes are also capped by LinkedIn platform limits (not Expandi itself): approximately 100 connection requests/week and 150โ€“200 messages/day.

What's the cheapest way to get a complete LinkedIn outbound stack?

For budget-conscious teams: Derrick Medium ($20/month) for data enrichment + Expandi Business annual ($79/month) = $99/month total for enriched data and automated LinkedIn + email sequences, no Sales Navigator required.
