Waalaxy Review 2026: Pricing, Limits, Pros & Cons + 6 Alternatives

Waalaxy is a French LinkedIn prospecting tool that automates invitations, messages and follow-ups, and on its Business plan adds cold email from your own mailbox. In 2026 it costs €39, €99 or €139 per user per month on monthly billing (Pro, Advanced, Business), or €19, €49 or €69 per month billed yearly. Since July 1, 2026 Waalaxy runs fully in the cloud: the old Chrome extension has been removed from the Chrome Web Store, so there's nothing to download. It's one of the easiest tools for beginners; teams that want more LinkedIn accounts per dollar, native AI writing or data in the same tool have good alternatives.

We checked every price and feature below on waalaxy.com and Waalaxy's help center in October 2026.

What is Waalaxy?

Waalaxy was founded in 2019 in Montpellier, France, and says it's trusted by 200,000+ sales reps, founders and teams. You import prospects from a LinkedIn, Sales Navigator or Recruiter Lite search, pick a ready-made sequence (visit, invite, message, follow-up, email...) and Waalaxy runs it within daily limits. Sales Navigator is not required.

The biggest change since our 2024 test: Waalaxy no longer depends on a browser extension. Everything runs in the web app at app.waalaxy.com, campaigns keep running when your browser is closed, and it works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge (Waalaxy help center, July 2026).

Is there still a Waalaxy Chrome extension to download?

No. The Waalaxy extension was removed from the Chrome Web Store when the app moved to the cloud. To import prospects now, you run a search on LinkedIn, copy the URL and paste it into the Prospects tab of the app. An optional extension called Alien Copilot exists only to speed up imports; you don't need it to run campaigns.

Waalaxy pricing in 2026

Prices per user (one license = one LinkedIn account), excluding VAT, from waalaxy.com/pricing. The pricing page opens on yearly billing, which is why you often see "€19/month" quoted.

• Pro covers unlimited campaigns, pre-built sequences, automated follow-ups, CRM sync and team tools.
• Advanced adds the highest invitation quotas, API access, Make, Zapier and n8n modules, and live chat support.
• Business adds cold email sequences and LinkedIn + email campaigns, plus 500 email finder credits.
• LinkedIn Inbox (to manage conversations, templates, reminders and tags) is a paid add-on at €20/month on every plan, with 500 free conversations to try it.
• Yearly plans are paid upfront; you can cancel anytime by disabling auto-renewal and keep access until the end of the paid period.

Is Waalaxy free?

Partly. A Freemium mode still exists, but it can't run any automation: you can browse the app and import prospects from a CSV file, nothing more. The real way to test Waalaxy is the free trial (the pricing page advertises 14 days). According to Waalaxy's subscriptions help article, you must enter a credit card to start it, you get Business features during the trial, and the trial converts automatically into a paid plan unless you cancel before it ends (Settings → Invoices → Cancel my free trial).

Waalaxy limits: how many invitations can you send?

Waalaxy's help center documents these quotas (July 2026):

• Advanced and Business: up to 100 invitations per day and 200 per week, in line with the 200-per-week LinkedIn limit Waalaxy's help center describes; messages, visits and follows have their own daily caps.
• Pro: about 11 invitations per day, 300 per month.
• Daily quotas are randomized between 80% and 100% of the maximum to look more natural.

Waalaxy doesn't "bypass" LinkedIn's limits, and no tool should claim to. If you want the details, see our guide to how many LinkedIn invitations you can send per week.

AI features

Waalaxy has caught up on AI since 2024:

• Waami generates message drafts from your target, value proposition and call to action.
• Waalaxy Copilot is an AI skill for Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini that turns a website URL into LinkedIn searches, cleans prospect lists and writes sequences (any plan).
• MCP server and API (Advanced and Business) let you import prospects or trigger campaigns from AI assistants and automations.
• Waalaxy AI, an autonomous LinkedIn outreach agent, was in beta when we checked.

Email prospecting with Waalaxy

Cold email is only available on the Business plan. You connect your own mailbox (Gmail, Outlook/Office 365 and other providers), and sending volumes follow your provider's limits. The email finder checks several providers in a row (BetterContact, then FullEnrich, then Dropcontact) and refunds the credit if no email is found. Extra finder credits are sold as a monthly add-on and don't roll over.

Our verdict: pros and cons

Pros

• Very easy to start: ready-made sequences and a clean interface, built for people who've never done outreach.
• Fully cloud-based since July 2026, works in any major browser.
• Low yearly prices for a single LinkedIn account (from €19/month billed yearly).
• Native HubSpot and Pipedrive integrations, plus Zapier, Make and n8n from Advanced.
• AI tools included: the Waami message generator, the Copilot skill on any plan, MCP and API on Advanced and Business.

Cons

• Monthly billing is expensive: €99 per account for Advanced, €139 for Business.
• One license per LinkedIn account, so costs grow quickly for teams and agencies.
• Cold email only on Business; the LinkedIn Inbox is a paid add-on.
• Only 25 email finder credits a month below Business.
• The trial requires a card and converts to a paid plan if you forget to cancel.

Waalaxy vs Cognism, Lusha and Salesloft

These comparisons come up often, but they're different categories:

• Cognism and Lusha are contact data providers: they give you emails and phone numbers, but don't automate LinkedIn. Many teams pair one of them with a LinkedIn automation tool.
• Salesloft (merged with Clari in December 2025) is an enterprise sales engagement platform for sales teams running cadences, calls and forecasting inside their CRM, sold on annual contracts.
• Waalaxy automates LinkedIn actions and, on Business, email. It's aimed at founders, freelancers, recruiters and small teams.

The best Waalaxy alternatives in 2026

Several tools from our 2024 list have changed: Dux-Soup now sells a desktop app called STACKED, Zopto redirects to another company, and LeadFuze stopped selling self-serve software. Here are the alternatives that are active, with prices checked in October 2026:

1. useArtemis

useArtemis is the closest alternative for people who like Waalaxy's simplicity but want more included. Each plan connects several LinkedIn accounts through a secure connection and runs in the cloud, with sequences that mix LinkedIn invitations, messages, profile visits and likes with email steps from Gmail, Outlook or any SMTP/IMAP mailbox. Messages are written by AI and personalized per prospect, and a unified inbox for LinkedIn and email is included, not an add-on.

To find prospects, you get Discover (a B2B lead database with verified emails), a LinkedIn and Sales Navigator scraper, an email finder and verifier, and AI enrichment columns. Pricing: Starter $69/month (2 LinkedIn accounts, 500 verified emails, 2,500 Discover leads), Scale $159 (5 accounts, automatic AI replies), Agency $399 (10 accounts). Credits roll over. There's no free plan or trial.

Compared with Waalaxy on monthly billing, two LinkedIn accounts on Waalaxy Business cost €278/month before the Inbox add-on; on yearly billing a single Waalaxy Pro account (€19/month) is cheaper if you only need basic LinkedIn automation.

2. La Growth Machine

A French multichannel tool (LinkedIn, email, and calls on Pro) that runs in the cloud with waterfall email enrichment. Basic costs $70 per identity per month ($60 billed yearly); Pro $135 ($110). Read our La Growth Machine review.

3. lemlist

lemlist's Multichannel plan ($109 per user per month, $87 billed yearly) combines email, LinkedIn steps, SMS and calls, with lemwarm warmup included. It's stronger than Waalaxy on email, weaker on simplicity. See our lemlist review.

4. Expandi

Cloud LinkedIn automation with a dedicated country-based IP, auto warm-up and an if/then sequence builder. $99 per seat per month, or $79 billed yearly, with a 7-day trial. Our Expandi review goes deeper.

5. HeyReach

Built for agencies and teams that run many LinkedIn senders: you pay per sender ($79/month, $63 billed yearly) or $999/month for 25 senders on the Agency plan, with unlimited users and a unified inbox.

6. Dripify

LinkedIn and email steps in the same sequence, 100 email-finder credits a month per seat. Pro costs $79 per user per month ($59 billed yearly). See our Dripify review.

For a broader comparison, see our list of the best LinkedIn automation tools.

Should you use Waalaxy?

Waalaxy is a good choice if you're starting LinkedIn outreach alone, want a tool you can set up in an afternoon and can pay yearly. It's less cost-effective if you need several LinkedIn accounts, email on every seat, a shared inbox or prospect data, because each of those adds a license, a plan upgrade or an add-on. If that's your case, compare the total monthly cost with an all-in-one tool before committing.

FAQ

How much does Waalaxy cost in 2026?

Waalaxy costs €39 (Pro), €99 (Advanced) or €139 (Business) per user per month on monthly billing, €31/€79/€109 on quarterly billing, and €19/€49/€69 per month billed yearly, as of October 2026. The LinkedIn Inbox is a €20/month add-on, and Enterprise pricing for 5+ seats is custom.

How do I download the Waalaxy Chrome extension?

You no longer need to: since July 1, 2026, Waalaxy is fully cloud-based and its extension has been removed from the Chrome Web Store. Log in at app.waalaxy.com from any major browser and import prospects by pasting a LinkedIn search URL. An optional extension, Alien Copilot, only speeds up imports.

Is Waalaxy free?

Waalaxy has a Freemium mode, but it can't launch campaigns or automate anything; it only lets you browse the app and import prospects from a CSV. To automate LinkedIn, you need a paid plan or the free trial, which requires a credit card and converts to a paid plan unless you cancel.

Is Waalaxy safe for your LinkedIn account?

Waalaxy applies daily and weekly quotas (up to 100 invitations a day and 200 a week on Advanced and Business) with randomized volumes. That reduces risk but doesn't remove it: LinkedIn's user agreement doesn't allow automation, so keep volumes moderate and your messages relevant, whatever tool you use.

What is the best alternative to Waalaxy?

For LinkedIn and email with prospect data and a unified inbox included, useArtemis. For multichannel with calls, La Growth Machine. For email-heavy sequences, lemlist. For agencies managing many LinkedIn accounts, HeyReach. For a dedicated IP per account, Expandi.
