The short answer
Both sides assessedReachy compared with Valley
Valley is several times Reachy's price and needs a card for its 7-day trial, but it adds signal-sourced prospect discovery, ICP scoring with explanations, and research before writing; Reachy remains the cheaper way to test AI-assisted outbound.
Valley compared with Reachy
Reachy starts at $39 a month with a 14-day trial and no card required, which makes it the far cheaper way to try AI-assisted outbound. Valley costs several times more per seat and needs a card for a 7-day trial, but adds signal plays, explained ICP scoring, and sourced research before anything is written. Start with Reachy to test the motion on a budget; move to Valley when LinkedIn targeting and message quality are the bottleneck.
Choose Reachy if
Solo founders, consultants, recruiters, and small agencies who sell through LinkedIn, want signal-based prospecting rather than filtered lists, and would rather run automation locally than hand their LinkedIn credentials to a cloud service.
Choose Valley if
Founders and small B2B sales teams whose buyers are active on LinkedIn, who want signal-based targeting and research-grounded messages written in their own voice, and who are willing to review every draft before it goes out.

| Setup time | Under an hour. Download the desktop app, connect your LinkedIn account, add an AI provider key, point it at a post or group, and run. There is no infrastructure to provision because there is no email side. | The vendor describes getting from website to launched play in a few clicks and says outreach can be running in under 5 minutes. Expect longer in practice to tune the ICP criteria, review the first drafts, and connect email if your plan includes it. |
| Learning curve | Low. The signal-based audience model is the only genuinely new idea to absorb, and it is intuitive once you have built one audience from a post's reactions. Getting an AI provider key is the step most non-technical users find unfamiliar. | Low for the mechanics, since Scout builds the first plan from your website and plays are prebuilt. The real skill is refining ICP criteria and editing drafts until they sound right, which improves over the first few campaigns. |

Strengths and limitations
Reachy
Strengths
- Local execution against your own LinkedIn session materially reduces the account restriction risk that cloud automation tools carry, which is the single biggest hidden cost in LinkedIn outreach.
- Bring your own AI key with zero stated markup is unusually transparent and puts model choice and cost control in your hands.
- Signal-based sourcing from post reactions, group members, and event attendees produces warmer audiences than a filtered Sales Navigator export.
- Flat pricing with no per-contact or credit metering anywhere, so enthusiastic use does not produce an unexpected bill.
Limitations
- Single channel. There is no email sending, no domain or mailbox management, and no warmup, so it cannot be your only outbound tool if email matters.
- Automation only runs while the machine is on and the application is open, which is the unavoidable cost of the local architecture.
- AI costs are a separate variable bill from a model provider, so the flat subscription price is not the whole story.
- Local execution reduces LinkedIn account risk but does not remove it; LinkedIn's terms still discourage automation and a restricted profile is your loss.
Valley
Strengths
- Targeting starts from live buying signals (hiring, content engagement, competitor complaints, keywords) rather than only a static contact database.
- Qualification is explained and correctable, and research shows its sources, which makes it easier to trust or overrule what the AI decided.
- Messages are drafted in your own style and every draft can be reviewed and approved, a safer default than fully autonomous sending.
- The entry tier is published, self-serve, and cancellable monthly, with a quarterly option that cuts the seat price by $50.
Limitations
- Email is secondary: an add-on with an unpublished price on Starter and 1,000 messages a month on Plus and Growth, with no domains, mailboxes, or warmup supplied.
- The trial is 7 days, limited to Starter, and requires a payment method, and there is no free plan.
- Credits for discovery, email finding and verification, and upgraded generation are charged on top of the seat, and credit prices are not published on the pricing page.
- Only Starter can be bought without a sales conversation; Plus and Growth go through a demo.
Pricing compared
Reachy
Flat monthly subscription per tier, priced by the number of LinkedIn accounts, with no per-contact or usage metering. AI model costs are separate and paid directly to your model provider.
- Solo$39
- Team$79
- Agency$179
Reachy is the cheapest credible way for one person to run LinkedIn outreach properly, and the Agency tier at under twelve dollars per managed account is the best per-account price in the category by a wide margin. The flat structure with no credit meter removes the anxiety that makes most tools here expensive to use enthusiastically, and bring your own key means the AI component costs what it actually costs. The honest deductions are that it is single-channel, it only runs while your machine does, and the AI spend is a second invoice you have to watch. For a LinkedIn-led motion, none of those undo the value; for an email-led one, the tool is simply irrelevant.
Valley
Per seat, billed monthly or quarterly at a discount. Starter is self-serve with a 7-day trial; Plus and Growth are bought through a demo; five or more seats are quoted under Valley Scale. Credits for discovery, email finding and verification, and upgraded message generation are charged on top. No annual plan is published.
- Starter$199
- Plus$299
- Growth$499
- Valley ScaleCustom
At $149 to $199 a month per seat, Valley costs several times a plain LinkedIn sequencer and less than the bundled AI SDR services that supply their own mailboxes. What the premium buys is the part those sequencers leave out: signal-sourced lists, explained ICP scoring, sourced research, and drafts in your own voice, all sharing one context. For a founder or small team whose buyers live on LinkedIn, that is fair value if it replaces a separate enrichment tool and writing assistant. It is weaker value for email-heavy outbound, where the 1,000-message allowance, the unpriced Starter add-on, and the absence of sending infrastructure push the real cost up, and the credit meter makes the monthly total harder to predict than the seat price suggests.
Editorial verdict on each
Reachy
InnovationReachy is the most sensibly designed cheap tool in this batch, and the local architecture is not a gimmick: handing your LinkedIn credentials to a cloud service so it can act as you from a foreign data centre is the actual reason people lose accounts, and Reachy simply does not require it. Signal-based sourcing from post reactions, groups, and events is a better starting point than a Sales Navigator filter, the flat pricing with no credit meter means you can use it enthusiastically without watching a counter, and bring your own AI key at zero markup is more honest than any bundled token allowance. The Agency tier at fifteen accounts for $179 is the best per-account price anywhere in this category. Understand the boundaries before buying: it is LinkedIn only, it only runs while your machine does, the AI is a second variable bill, and every reply is still yours to answer. Within those limits, for a founder or agency selling through LinkedIn, it is very hard to beat at the price.
Read the full Reachy profileValley
Valley is one of the more carefully built AI SDRs a small team can actually buy without a sales call, and its strength is the front half of outbound: it starts from buying signals rather than a static list, explains why each prospect fits, shows the sources behind its research, and drafts messages that aim to sound like you, with a review step before anything is sent. That makes it a strong fit for founders and small teams whose buyers are on LinkedIn. Be clear about the edges. It is LinkedIn first, with email as an add-on or a 1,000-message allowance and no sending infrastructure of its own; the seat price is only part of the bill once credits for discovery and email finding come in; and the trial is seven days with a card. Buy Starter quarterly if LinkedIn is where your buyers are, keep a human on the review step, and look elsewhere if your outbound is mainly high-volume cold email.
