OnlyLeads vs HeyReach

HeyReach is built for agencies running many LinkedIn senders at once, with a unified inbox and fixed-price sender bundles. OnlyLeads is built for fewer senders who want every message written for one person and approved before it sends. If you run dozens of accounts, HeyReach fits; if you run a few and care what each message says, OnlyLeads does.

Where it runs In the cloud. In the cloud. You connect LinkedIn once; campaigns run with your laptop closed.
Human approval before sending Campaigns run automatically. No native per-message approval step advertised. On by default. Every AI draft waits in a review queue. Auto-send is opt-in, per sending account, and only for drafts that pass every quality check.

Channels LinkedIn natively; email through Instantly and Smartlead integrations. LinkedIn: connection requests, messages, follow-ups, profile views and post likes. Follow-ups stop when someone replies.
Targeting Routes website visits, ad engagement and post interactions into campaigns. Job changes, engagement with your posts or your competitors' posts, and funding rounds in selected sectors. Plus list import from Sales Navigator, LinkedIn search, 1st-degree connections or CSV.
CRM Unified inbox; HubSpot sync, Clay, Zapier, API and webhooks. Built-in pipeline board: positive replies become opportunities. No HubSpot or Salesforce sync today.

Choose HeyReach if

  • You are an agency running many LinkedIn accounts and want one price for all of them.
  • You want an API, webhooks and Clay in the loop.
  • You pair LinkedIn with a cold-email tool like Instantly or Smartlead.

Choose OnlyLeads if

  • You want every message drafted for one person in the sender's voice.
  • You want a human to approve each message, by default.
  • You want replies turned into pipeline opportunities inside the same tool.

The real difference: who reads the message

HeyReach is built to send sequences: you write a template once, add variables, and the tool works through your list within daily limits. That is fast, and for some teams it is exactly right.

OnlyLeads starts from the other end. It looks for a reason to write to someone (a new role, a funding round, engagement with a post), scores whether they fit, and then drafts one message for that person from your voice profile. The draft goes to a review queue. You approve it, edit it, or reject it. Only then does it send, paced through your own LinkedIn account, and follow-ups stop the moment they reply.

You can switch on auto-send later, per sending account, for drafts that pass every quality check.

Questions

What is the difference between OnlyLeads and HeyReach?

HeyReach is built for agencies running many LinkedIn senders at once, with a unified inbox and fixed-price sender bundles. OnlyLeads is built for fewer senders who want every message written for one person and approved before it sends. If you run dozens of accounts, HeyReach fits; if you run a few and care what each message says, OnlyLeads does.

Is OnlyLeads a good HeyReach alternative?

It is if you want LinkedIn messages drafted in your own voice and approved by a person before they send, at a flat monthly price per sender. It is not if you need dozens of LinkedIn senders under one price, or an API and webhooks.

Does OnlyLeads send messages without my approval?

Not by default. Every AI draft waits in a review queue. You can switch on auto-send for a sending account, and it then sends only drafts that pass every quality check. The one exception you set up yourself is a verbatim campaign step: it sends the exact words you wrote, so there is nothing new to review.

How is OnlyLeads priced?

One flat monthly price per connected LinkedIn sender, across four plans: Solo, Duo, Team and Agency. No credits and no overages. There is a 7-day free trial and no card is needed.
