Valley alternatives 2026: 7 LinkedIn tools compared
2026-10-22 · updated 2026-10-22 · 8 min read · Adam Axelsson, founder of Revexa
Valley is an AI outbound platform built around LinkedIn: it finds buyers from signals such as profile views, post engagement and hiring, qualifies and researches each one, and writes in your voice. Starter costs $199 per seat a month, or $149 billed quarterly, for LinkedIn only; email is included from Plus at $299 and is an add-on on Starter, and the trial needs a payment method. The main options are lemlist, Gojiberry, Leo by Revexa, traxy, AiSDR, Teamfluence and Amplemarket.
Checked on 22 October 2026 against each vendor's own pages as a buyer in the United States sees them. Prices are in US dollars excluding tax, unless another currency is named.
Revexa builds Leo, one of the alternatives below, so weigh what we say about it accordingly. The alternatives are ordered by starting price, lowest first: the lowest monthly price listed for the cheapest paid plan, whatever the billing term. Free plans don't count and ties are alphabetical. AiSDR has no monthly fee, so it is placed by its lowest daily pace: 5 people a day at $1.50 is about $225 a month if it runs every day (our estimate). Teamfluence lists only a euro price and is placed at €449.

What Valley does well
- Research you can see. Valley "reads each prospect's posts, interviews, company news, podcasts and newsletters, and shows the sources it used".
- Fit you can correct. It "explains why someone fits or does not", and you can correct a decision and re-check it.
- LinkedIn sent, not assigned. Connection requests and messages go out from your own account, alongside email in the same sequence, with one inbox for replies.
- Guardrails. Valley "respects LinkedIn's monthly limits automatically", for example about 500 connection requests and 100 standard InMails a month.
- No annual contract. Monthly per seat, or a discount for paying quarterly.
Valley also says its customers see "15-45% reply rates, against a category average of about 2%". That is the vendor's own figure, and we could not verify it.
Why teams look for Valley alternatives
Per-seat cost. Three reps on Plus cost $897 a month, or $747 billed quarterly (our calculation). On Starter, email is an add-on whose price the pricing page does not list.
Credits on top. "Finding new prospects, finding and verifying email addresses, and upgraded message generation use credits." Growth includes $300 of credits a month; the pricing page does not say what extra credits cost.
Review is a per-campaign switch. Valley's help center calls "Autopilot" "recommended for most users". With it off, approving a sequence approves the follow-ups too, and "If Autopilot is OFF and you're not checking Approvals regularly, messages pile up and never send" (approvals).
A card to try it. The 7-day trial requires a payment method; you cancel before it ends to avoid paying.
HubSpot is the only CRM named. The pricing card lists "CRM, API and MCP integrations (HubSpot, Claude, etc.)", and the about page says Valley "connects to HubSpot". No other CRM is named, so teams on Salesforce or Pipedrive should ask before buying.
The done-for-you tier is closed. The $1,499 managed option was "Currently not accepting more users" on 22 October 2026.
If your buyers live on LinkedIn, the underlying idea is sound: engagement on LinkedIn posts is one of the clearer buying signals. The question is price, control and fit.

7 Valley alternatives
1. lemlist
A sequencing tool with AI agents for signals, enrichment and messaging. The Email plan costs $55 a month billed yearly or $69 monthly with unlimited users; Multichannel adds LinkedIn automation, SMS and a dialer from $87 a month per user billed yearly or $109 monthly. Buying intent signals are an add-on: 100 signals a month for $21 billed yearly or $29 monthly (lemlist pricing).
- Strength: LinkedIn, email and calls in your own sequences, with signals bolted on at a low price.
- Weakness: you design and run the sequences yourself, and buying signals are a paid add-on.
- Best for: teams that want to own their LinkedIn and email sequences.
2. Gojiberry
The closest match to Valley at a lower price. You enter your website, and its agents detect buying and social signals, score prospects and contact them "across email and socials" (Gojiberry). Pro costs $99 a month for 2 AI agents and "Up to 1,800 prospects contacted/month, more available"; Custom covers more agents.
- Strength: two agents for less than one Valley seat, with "Full auto or approve before it sends".
- Weakness: the homepage leads with automatic sending without saying whether approval is on by default, so check that setting before you launch. More in Gojiberry alternatives.
- Best for: founders who want signal-based LinkedIn outreach at a flat price.
3. Leo by Revexa (ours)
Leo is a buying-signal agent that also watches LinkedIn engagement, on your own posts and company page and on competitors' and industry voices' posts, plus hiring, funding, headcount growth, new executives, competitors' tools on a company's website and job ads. It builds your ideal customer profile from your website, judges each company's business model, finds the right person and drafts LinkedIn and email messages in your voice. $99 a month in the US and rest of world, €89 in Europe and 999 SEK in Sweden, excluding VAT, for two LinkedIn profiles and one mailbox; 7 days free, no lock-in (Leo pricing).
- Strength: review mode is the default, and you approve or skip each draft in the portal, in iMessage or in Slack, in your own words. CRM integrations cover HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Upsales and Close.
- Weakness: new and small, founded in 2026, with no published customer results. Messages go in the lead's own language only when your website has that language, otherwise in English, and there are no cold messages to leads in Germany under UWG §7.
- Best for: small B2B teams that want Valley-style signals with approval by default and a flat price.
4. traxy
A signal feed rather than a full agent. traxy tracks "unlimited profiles for buying signals", qualifies engagers and adds email and phone. Pro costs $149 a month for 5,000 credits, billed monthly (yearly billing "saves 20%"), with a 7-day free trial; automated sending needs 15,000 credits and its Outbound Agent 30,000 or more. Done-for-you costs $1,099 a month with a 3-month minimum (traxy pricing).
- Strength: leads pushed to "Slack, Meta Ads, and 8+ more", so you keep your own sending tool.
- Weakness: sending and the agent sit on larger credit plans.
- Best for: teams that already send with another tool and want the signals.
5. AiSDR
An AI SDR that runs email and LinkedIn, including connection requests, DMs, InMails and voice notes, at $1.50 per person contacted with no monthly fee, charged daily (AiSDR pricing).
- Strength: no subscription, and campaigns from $3.
- Weakness: "No manual approval is needed for each outgoing message" (AiSDR help), and LinkedIn signals such as profile views and post engagement are on team plans only.
- Best for: testing LinkedIn plus email without a contract.
6. Teamfluence
Tracks engagement "on your posts, your team's posts, competitors, influencers, keywords and ads", and prices by leads instead of seats. One plan costs €449 a month with unlimited seats, 1,000 qualified leads and 20,000 credits, billed monthly; HubSpot and Salesforce connect natively (Teamfluence pricing). Its networking campaigns send LinkedIn connection requests spread across your team's accounts (Teamfluence).
- Strength: the whole team's LinkedIn activity becomes a signal source without paying per seat.
- Weakness: "We don't do self-service sign-ups", so there is no free trial, and a lead counts once you move it out of Teamfluence.
- Best for: companies where many employees post and get engagement.
7. Amplemarket
Data, multichannel sequences, AI intent signals and a dialer, with Duo Copilot to "scan your market daily for buying signals and surface the exact people to contact" (Duo). Startup costs $600 a month on an annual term with 2 users and 27,000 contacts (Amplemarket pricing).
- Strength: a broader sales platform than Valley, with calling and data included.
- Weakness: annual term only, and Growth and Elite are custom.
- Best for: teams of several reps that want more than LinkedIn.
Valley vs Leo, honestly
| Valley | Leo | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $199 per seat a month or $149 quarterly, LinkedIn only; email from $299 | $99, €89 or 999 SEK a month for two LinkedIn profiles and one mailbox |
| Trial | 7 days, payment method required | 7 days free, no lock-in |

| Where you approve | Approvals tab | Portal, iMessage or Slack |
| Research per prospect | Posts, interviews, podcasts and news, with sources shown | Signals and the company's business model |
| LinkedIn signals | Profile viewers, your and competitors' post engagement | Your posts and company page, competitors' and industry voices' posts |
| Other signals | Hiring, fundraising | Hiring, funding, headcount growth, new executives, competitors' tools, job ads |
| Languages | 39, chosen per campaign | The lead's own language when your website has it, otherwise English |
| CRM | HubSpot named ("HubSpot, Claude, etc."), API, MCP | HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Upsales, Close; MCP server |
| Track record | Founded 2023, 300+ teams | New and small, no published customer results |
Valley wins on visible research, language choice and track record. Leo wins on price for two senders, approval by default and the number of CRMs it names.
