Meet Alfred (meetalfred.com) is a cloud-based LinkedIn automation tool that also runs email and X (Twitter) steps and schedules social media posts. It is still active in October 2026 and costs $59 per seat/month for Individual (LinkedIn only), $99 for Business (email, multichannel, Sales Navigator, InMails) and $79 per seat for Teams (3 seats minimum), with up to 40% off on yearly billing. It's a fair choice for a solo user or a small team that wants LinkedIn plus a bit of email and social, but the useful features sit on Business, and its lead filtering felt basic in our test.

What is Meet Alfred?
Meet Alfred automates LinkedIn prospecting from the cloud: connection requests, follow-up messages, profile visits and follows, and InMails to open profiles. On higher plans the same sequence can move a lead to email or X depending on what they do. Around that, it adds a smart inbox for LinkedIn conversations, a LinkedIn CRM (tags, notes, pipeline stages), automated greetings (birthdays, new roles, work anniversaries) and a social media scheduler.
Because it runs on Meet Alfred's servers, campaigns continue when your computer is off. There is no Chrome extension to install, which answers a frequent question: Meet Alfred says explicitly that it works through its cloud infrastructure, "no browser extension, nothing installed on your machine".
What changed since our 2024 test
We tested Meet Alfred in May 2024. Since then:
- New plan lineup: Individual, Business, Teams and Unlimited, with monthly, quarterly (-20%) and yearly (-40%) billing in USD, EUR or GBP.
- Lead Finder with AI lead search, so you can search LinkedIn and Sales Navigator and push results straight into a campaign.
- LinkedIn CRM and customizable AI settings for AI-personalized messages.
- InMail automation (to open profiles) is now available on Business and above; in our 2024 test we couldn't send InMails.
- Teams plan with white label, native Salesforce and HubSpot integrations and a collaborative inbox.
How much does Meet Alfred cost in 2026?
As of October 2026, the Meet Alfred pricing page shows:
| Plan | Monthly billing | Yearly billing | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual | $59 per seat/month | $35 per seat/month | LinkedIn automation, Lead Finder (1,000 results), smart inbox, templates, automated greetings, dashboard |
| Business | $99 per seat/month | $59 per seat/month | + email automation, multichannel sequences, Sales Navigator, unlimited campaigns, InMails, group/event/post/CSV campaigns, social scheduling, attachments, Zapier, webhooks and CRM integrations, Lead Finder (5,000 results) |

Things to note:
- Individual is LinkedIn-only: no email steps, no Sales Navigator, no CSV or group campaigns and no CRM integrations. Most B2B prospectors will need Business.
- Teams is cheaper per seat than Business ($79 vs $99) but requires at least 3 seats, so $237/month minimum on monthly billing.
- Prices on the page can be shown in EUR (Individual €55, Business €85, Teams €70 per month) or GBP.
Our hands-on test (May 2024)
The screenshots below come from that test; the interface has been updated since.
Signing up and connecting LinkedIn. You can sign up with Google, LinkedIn or email. Connecting a LinkedIn account was quick: you enter your credentials, Meet Alfred handles two-factor authentication and email codes, and it assigns a proxy in your region so the connection looks consistent.
Creating a campaign. The dashboard puts a single "Create campaign" button front and center. We picked "LinkedIn search" as the lead source and targeted startup founders. Two limits stood out: filtering was basic (no company size or funding filters at the time), and the sequence builder, a vertical list of steps, gets hard to read once a sequence grows.
The CRM was our favorite part. In two clicks you can search a lead, exclude contacts from campaigns (useful for prospects already in talks) and filter by "with email", "with Twitter" or "LinkedIn Premium".
Support answered our questions without issue, and the help center and video tutorials cover most setup questions.
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Fully cloud-based, no extension or app to install | Individual plan is LinkedIn-only and lacks Sales Navigator |
| LinkedIn, email and X in one sequence (Business) | Multichannel needs Business at $99/seat/month on monthly billing |
| Useful CRM, smart inbox and automated greetings | Lead filtering was basic in our test |
| Social post scheduling included from Business | Sequence builder less visual than some competitors |
| Up to 40% off with yearly billing, white label on Teams | Teams plan requires 3 seats minimum |
Verdict: is Meet Alfred worth it?
For a solo user on a yearly plan, Meet Alfred is reasonably priced: $59/month on yearly billing gets you Business with LinkedIn, email, Sales Navigator and InMails in one cloud tool. The CRM, greetings and post scheduler are nice extras if you also manage your LinkedIn presence.
On monthly billing it competes head-on with Expandi and Dripify at $79 to $99 per seat, and those tools go further on safety settings or sequence design. If you need lead data with verified emails, you'll have to add another tool, or pick an alternative that includes it.
