OnlyLeads vs Linked Helper

Linked Helper is desktop software: it automates LinkedIn from your own computer and keeps the session there. OnlyLeads runs in the cloud, drafts each message in your voice and holds it for your approval. Linked Helper is very cheap per licence; OnlyLeads is for teams who want signal-led prospects and reviewed messages without keeping a machine running.

What it is LinkedIn automation that runs as desktop software, not a browser extension. Signal-led LinkedIn outreach. An LLM drafts each message in your voice, you approve it, and it sends from your own account.
Pricing model Per-licence (one per LinkedIn account), discounted for longer terms, with data-credit allowances and storage add-ons. 14-day free trial, no card. One flat monthly price per connected LinkedIn sender (Solo, Duo, Team, Agency). No credits, no overages. 7-day free trial, no card.
Where it runs On your computer; the LinkedIn session stays on that machine. In the cloud. You connect LinkedIn once; campaigns run with your laptop closed.
Human approval before sending Automation runs the campaign. No 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.
How messages are written Templates plus AI-personalised messages from profile data. One message per prospect, drafted from a voice profile you fill in once. Or write a verbatim campaign step, which sends your exact words without a review stop.

The real difference: who reads the message

Linked Helper 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 Linked Helper?

Linked Helper is desktop software: it automates LinkedIn from your own computer and keeps the session there. OnlyLeads runs in the cloud, drafts each message in your voice and holds it for your approval. Linked Helper is very cheap per licence; OnlyLeads is for teams who want signal-led prospects and reviewed messages without keeping a machine running.

Is OnlyLeads a good Linked Helper 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 desktop software that keeps your LinkedIn session on your own machine.

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.
