The best HeyReach alternative
HeyReach is a LinkedIn outreach tool focused on agency-scale, multi-account sending. The strongest HeyReach alternative is Autocloz: it runs safety-first LinkedIn outreach with the same class of guardrails HeyReach is known for — adaptive warmup ramps, weekly caps and human-paced jitter — but stops LinkedIn being a silo by running it in one sequence with email, calling, SMS and WhatsApp. Replies from every channel land in a single inbox, on a free-forever CRM — 5 users free, unlimited on paid, with no per-seat fee.
Why teams look for a HeyReach alternative
HeyReach is built for LinkedIn at scale, but LinkedIn is one channel. Autocloz runs LinkedIn alongside email, calling, SMS and WhatsApp in a single sequence with a shared CRM and compliance gate — so LinkedIn is a step in the journey, not a separate tool.
Outreach is spread across too many tools
HeyReach is LinkedIn-first (linkedin (multi-account)). LinkedIn alone rarely closes; teams want to follow an accepted invite with an email, a call or a WhatsApp — and that means leaving HeyReach for other apps.
Per-seat pricing punishes growth
HeyReach is priced per-seat / per-account, so every new rep, SDR or contractor adds to the bill — and the cost of inviting a teammate quietly caps how your team uses the tool. Autocloz includes unlimited users on every paid plan, so adding people never raises the price; you scale on per-channel volume instead.
There's no CRM under the outreach
With HeyReach the CRM is integrate — a second subscription and a sync to maintain. Autocloz includes a free-forever, AI-native CRM with contacts, companies, deals and a unified inbox, so every channel writes to one timeline automatically.
Replies scatter outside one inbox
LinkedIn replies in HeyReach stay in HeyReach; email and other channels live elsewhere. Autocloz federates every channel — LinkedIn, email, calling, SMS, WhatsApp — into one Unibox, so a rep works a single queue instead of five tabs.

Where Autocloz pulls ahead
Safety-first LinkedIn, in one sequence
Run LinkedIn the careful way — adaptive warmup ramps, weekly caps, burst guards and human-paced jitter — but as a step inside a sequence that can also email, call, text or WhatsApp the same lead. LinkedIn becomes part of the journey instead of a tool you tab into.
Free-forever CRM, no per-seat fee
The CRM core is free forever with 5 users and 100,000 contacts, and every paid plan lifts that to unlimited users — so you can invite every rep, SDR and contractor without raising the bill. You only move to a paid plan to lift per-channel daily limits, mailboxes, contacts and verifications, so spend tracks volume, not headcount.
One unified inbox for every channel
Email, LinkedIn, SMS, WhatsApp and call notes federate into a single Unibox, so a rep works one queue instead of switching between apps. AI-assisted replies are available with your own model key — no per-credit metering.
A compliance gate on every send
TCPA, DNC, quiet hours and 10DLC/WhatsApp opt-in are enforced at the dispatch gate across all channels, so a sequence can't reach a number or contact it shouldn't. Compliance is structural, not a checkbox you remember to tick.
Who should switch from HeyReach — and who shouldn’t
An honest read. The best switch is the one that fits your motion, so here’s where Autocloz is a clear win — and where HeyReach or a specialist tool might still suit you better.
- Outbound sales teams that want email, calling, LinkedIn, SMS and WhatsApp on one timeline instead of stitching HeyReach to four other tools
- Teams tired of per-seat pricing — every paid plan includes unlimited users, so a growing team doesn't mean a growing bill
- Anyone who wants a real CRM under their outreach without paying for a second subscription
- LinkedIn-led teams who want to follow an accepted invite with email, a call or WhatsApp from the same sequence
- Teams whose entire motion is LinkedIn at agency scale across hundreds of accounts and who want a single-purpose tool for just that
How to switch from HeyReach
- 1
Import your contacts and deals
Export your contacts, companies and pipeline from HeyReach and bring them in by CSV or API. The free plan covers up to 100,000 contacts and 5 users, and any paid plan lifts that to unlimited, so the whole team and book of business land in one workspace.
- 2
Connect LinkedIn and your other channels
Connect your LinkedIn account under Autocloz's safety-first guardrails (warmup ramp, weekly caps, jitter), then add mailboxes (Google, Microsoft or SMTP), a carrier for calling, and SMS/WhatsApp senders — so LinkedIn runs in the same sequence as everything else.
- 3
Rebuild your sequences as multichannel
Recreate your best-performing HeyReach sequences in Autocloz and enrich them: drop in a call step, a LinkedIn touch or a WhatsApp follow-up where the old flow had only email. The compliance gate (TCPA, DNC, quiet hours, opt-in) checks every send for you.
- 4
Go live and watch one timeline
Enroll your leads and switch sending over. From here every email, call, LinkedIn message, SMS and WhatsApp writes to one lead timeline and federates into a single inbox — so the whole team sees the full story per prospect, with nothing left behind in HeyReach.

Frequently asked
What is the best free alternative to HeyReach?
Autocloz is the strongest free alternative for outbound teams: a free-forever, AI-native CRM with email, calling, LinkedIn, SMS and WhatsApp built into one login. Unlike most HeyReach alternatives, the core CRM stays free for 5 users and 100,000 contacts, and every paid plan lifts the seat count to unlimited — you only pay to raise per-channel daily limits.
Is Autocloz cheaper than HeyReach?
For most teams, yes. Autocloz charges no per-seat fee, so adding users never raises the bill, and the CRM is free forever. Calling uses carrier pass-through (your own Telnyx, DIDLogic or FreJun rates, with no per-minute markup), so you scale on volume instead of seats or bundled minutes.
How do I migrate from HeyReach to Autocloz?
Import your contacts, companies and deals by CSV or API, connect your mailboxes (Google, Microsoft or SMTP) and carrier, and rebuild your sequences as multichannel. You keep every channel — email, calling, LinkedIn, SMS and WhatsApp — on one lead timeline, and built-in warmup means you can move sending over without rebuilding your stack.
Does Autocloz do everything HeyReach does?
For LinkedIn, Autocloz applies the same class of safety controls HeyReach uses — adaptive daily ceilings, weekly caps, burst guards and jitter — and runs that outreach in one sequence with email, calling, SMS and WhatsApp. It isn't a single-purpose LinkedIn tool, so a team that only wants hundreds of LinkedIn accounts and nothing else might prefer a specialist.
Is there a contract or per-seat fee?
No. Every paid Autocloz plan includes unlimited users with no per-seat fee, and the CRM is free forever for 5 users — you can start without a card and invite the whole team. Paid plans simply raise per-channel daily limits, mailboxes, contacts and verifications, and you can change or cancel any time.
How long does it take to switch from HeyReach?
Most teams are sending the same day. Importing contacts and connecting a mailbox takes minutes; rebuilding your best sequences as multichannel is the bulk of the work. Built-in warmup and deliverability tooling mean you can ramp sending safely rather than cutting over cold.
Is Autocloz a HeyReach alternative?
If you want LinkedIn plus the rest of the stack, yes. Autocloz runs human-paced LinkedIn outreach in the same sequence as email, calling, SMS and WhatsApp, with a built-in CRM and a unified inbox.
What does HeyReach genuinely do better?
Agency-scale LinkedIn. HeyReach is designed around running many sender accounts at once — pooled sending, per-client separation and reporting shaped for an agency whose deliverable is LinkedIn volume. If that is your business model, a tool built only for it will stay ahead of an all-channel platform on that specific workflow.
How does Autocloz pace LinkedIn to keep accounts safe?
LinkedIn publishes no official limits, so Autocloz treats every quoted number as an observed norm rather than a documented cap. New accounts ramp instead of starting at full volume, daily ceilings adapt, weekly caps and burst guards apply, and sends carry jitter rather than firing on a fixed schedule. Every skip or defer is logged with a readable reason so you can see why a touch held back.
Does running multiple LinkedIn accounts work in Autocloz?
Yes — you can connect more than one account and the per-account limits, warmup and pacing apply independently to each. The difference from an agency-first tool is emphasis: Autocloz optimises for one prospect being touched across five channels, rather than for one channel being sent from many accounts.
A free-forever alternative to HeyReach
All five channels + a free-forever CRM for 5 users, unlimited on paid. Most teams send their first sequence the same day.
