LinkedIn automation & outreach

Folkscope vs HeyReach

HeyReach runs LinkedIn outreach at scale. You connect sender accounts, load a list, and it rotates connection requests and messages across those senders with one unified inbox on top. Agencies like it because pricing is per sender rather than per user, with a flat $999 a month agency tier for 25 senders. Folkscope sits before any of that: it finds and scores the people worth messaging by tracking engagement on chosen accounts. Plenty of teams run both, with Folkscope picking targets and HeyReach doing the sending.

Where Folkscope is stronger

  • Supplies the targeting HeyReach assumes you already have: engagers on tracked accounts, scored against your ICP.
  • Competitor audience capture: point it at rival pages and profiles and work their active audience.
  • Authorized APIs with public engagement data only, so no sender accounts sit at risk of LinkedIn restrictions.
  • Daily sync with retained history and delivery to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Slack, Teams, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, and webhooks.
  • Credit pricing from €74 a month with agency mode included on every plan.

Where HeyReach is stronger

  • Sender rotation at scale: campaigns spread across many LinkedIn accounts with one unified inbox on top.
  • Agency pricing is flat and honest: $999 a month covers 25 senders, and extra team members cost nothing.
  • API, webhooks, and native integrations make it easy to plug into a wider outbound stack.

The verdict

Choose based on which problem you have. If you already know who to contact and need volume across many sender accounts, HeyReach is a strong tool with fair flat pricing for agencies. If your lists are the weak point, sending faster won't fix them. Folkscope fills that gap with scored engagers from accounts you track, delivered daily to your CRM or a webhook. Try the 7-day trial and route the output straight into your HeyReach campaigns.

Frequently asked questions

Does Folkscope send LinkedIn messages like HeyReach?

No. Folkscope finds and scores leads from engagement on the accounts you track, then delivers them to your CRM, Slack, Google Sheets, or a webhook. HeyReach handles the sending side: connection requests, message sequences, and a unified inbox across the sender accounts you connect.

Is HeyReach risky for LinkedIn accounts?

It automates actions from real connected accounts, which LinkedIn's terms restrict, so some account risk exists even with HeyReach's sending limits and rotation in place. Folkscope avoids the question entirely: it reads public engagement through authorized APIs and never connects to anyone's LinkedIn account.

Can I use Folkscope and HeyReach together?

Yes, and it's a natural pairing. Folkscope captures and scores the people engaging with your tracked accounts, including competitors' audiences, and pushes them out through a webhook or Zapier. From there they can land in a HeyReach campaign, so your sequences target people who already showed interest in the category.
