# Waalaxy

> Waalaxy is a Chrome extension that automates LinkedIn connection requests, messages, and profile visits, and can extend sequences into cold email using its own Email Finder credits. It runs locally through your browser rather than in the cloud, and is best known for a generous template library and one of the category's few genuinely free entry tiers.

- Category: LinkedIn Outreach (https://saastracker.org/categories/linkedin-outreach)
- Website: https://waalaxy.com
- Starting price: €19/user/mo (Pro, billed monthly)
- Free plan: A genuinely permanent free tier, not just a trial: roughly 3 actions per day per action type (visits, invites, messages), no email finder credits, and no CRM sync. Enough to test messaging and workflow, not to run real volume.
- Free trial: 14 days on paid plans
- Founded: 2019, HQ: Montpellier, France, Ownership: Privately held, bootstrapped

## Overview

Waalaxy started life as ProspectIn, a scrappy internal tool the Waapi team in Montpellier, France built in 2019 to stop wasting hours hand-prospecting for their own SaaS. It rebranded to Waalaxy in early 2021 with a friendlier interface, a space theme running through the product copy, and multichannel email sequences layered on top of the original LinkedIn automation.

The defining architectural choice is that Waalaxy runs as a Chrome extension injected into your open LinkedIn tab, not as a cloud server acting on your behalf. That keeps setup trivial (install, log in, go) and avoids handing LinkedIn credentials to a third-party server, but it means campaigns only run while your browser is open and your computer is on, and it puts Waalaxy in the same detection bucket LinkedIn has gotten better at flagging over the past two years.

Its other identifying feature is scale of adoption at the low end: a library of 99+ pre-built campaign templates, a real (if narrow) free plan, and pricing that starts at 19 euros a month, all aimed squarely at solo founders, freelance recruiters, and consultants who want LinkedIn pipeline without learning an operator-grade tool or paying operator-grade prices.

## How it works

1. You install the Waalaxy Chrome extension, log into LinkedIn as normal in that browser, and the extension reads your session to run actions (visits, invites, messages, follows) from a list you build off a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search URL, a CSV import, or a saved list of prospects already in the tool.

2. Campaigns are assembled from templates or a visual builder: a connection request, a delay, a follow-up message if accepted, an optional second follow-up, with LinkedIn safety delays and daily/weekly caps enforced by the extension itself, tuned to LinkedIn's own invite limits.

3. On Advanced and Business plans, Waalaxy's Email Finder (built on Dropcontact's semantic-matching engine) resolves a prospect's professional email address, consuming one credit only when an address is actually found, and Business plans let that same sequence fall back to a cold email step if the LinkedIn side goes cold. Replies land in Inbox Waalaxy, a paid add-on that consolidates LinkedIn conversations with templates and tags, separate from LinkedIn's native inbox.

## Best for

Solo operators, freelancers, and small teams who want a cheap, self-serve way into LinkedIn prospecting and are comfortable keeping a browser tab open while it runs.

## Not the right fit for

- Agencies managing outreach across many client accounts from one seat; Waalaxy has no rotation or pooled-account architecture the way HeyReach does.
- Anyone who needs campaigns to keep running with their laptop closed; Waalaxy needs an open browser and an awake machine, unlike cloud-based competitors.
- Teams that need deep conditional logic, engagement-based targeting, or dedicated-IP infrastructure; Expandi goes further on all three.
- Buyers who treat browser-extension automation as an unacceptable account risk; the architecture is inherently easier for LinkedIn to fingerprint than a cloud tool with a stable proxy.

## Features

### Prospecting & lists

Getting people into Waalaxy in the first place.

- **LinkedIn & Sales Navigator search import**: Paste a search URL from LinkedIn or Sales Navigator and Waalaxy scrapes the result list into a prospect list, respecting the search's own filters.
- **CSV import/export**: Bulk-load existing prospect lists in or pull Waalaxy data out at any point, useful for building lists outside LinkedIn's own search.
- **Event and group scraping**: Pull attendee or member lists from LinkedIn events and groups as prospecting sources, not just search results.
- **Duplicate prevention**: Prospects already contacted in a prior campaign are flagged so the same person isn't hit twice by accident.
- **List segmentation**: Tag and filter prospects into custom lists to route different segments into different sequences.

### Campaign builder

The templates and sequencing logic that do the actual outreach.

- **99+ campaign templates**: Pre-built sequences for common goals (cold outreach, event follow-up, content engagement) that can be used as-is or edited, the fastest path to a first campaign.
- **Visual sequence builder**: Chain connection requests, messages, profile visits, and follows with delays and accept/no-accept branching.
- **Personalization variables**: First name, company, job title, and custom fields drop into invite notes and messages per prospect.
- **Multichannel LinkedIn + email**: On Business, a sequence can fall through to a cold email step if a prospect doesn't respond on LinkedIn, using the same contact record.
- **AI-assisted messaging**: Built-in AI suggestions draft or rewrite invite notes and follow-up messages from a short prompt.

### Email enrichment

Turning a LinkedIn profile into a usable email address.

- **Email Finder (Dropcontact-powered)**: Semantic matching against name and company domain resolves a professional email address; a credit is spent only when an address is actually found, not on every search.
- **Credit pools by plan**: 25 email credits/month on Pro, 500/month on Advanced and Business, enough to enrich a meaningful share of a mid-size list without add-on purchases.
- **GDPR-aligned enrichment**: Dropcontact's matching process is built around EU data rules, relevant for any France- or EU-based buyer running the tool.

### Inbox & lead management

Working replies once a campaign starts converting.

- **Inbox Waalaxy (add-on)**: A separate paid module that centralizes LinkedIn conversations with reply templates, scheduled follow-ups, tags, and CRM export; not bundled into the base subscription tiers.
- **Smart reply detection**: Campaigns automatically pause a prospect's sequence once they reply, avoiding an awkward follow-up landing after a conversation has already started.
- **CRM synchronization**: Native sync to 2,000+ tools via the CRM connector on every paid tier, plus Zapier, Make, and n8n on Advanced and above for anything not natively supported.

### Safety, team & access

Guardrails and the multi-seat layer.

- **Built-in delay and quota engine**: Randomized action delays and monthly invite caps (300 on Pro, 800 on Advanced/Business) enforced inside the extension to stay under LinkedIn's own weekly invite ceiling.
- **Multiple sender accounts**: Business plans allow more than one LinkedIn account under a single subscription for small teams running parallel outreach.
- **Team collaboration tools**: Shared templates and lists across teammates on multi-seat subscriptions.
- **API access**: Available from Advanced up, for teams that want to push or pull campaign data programmatically rather than through Zapier.

## Use cases

- **Solo freelance consultant**: Needs a steady trickle of discovery calls but has no budget for a $99/seat tool and no time to learn one. Outcome: Starts on the free plan to test messaging, upgrades to Pro at 19 euros a month once it's working, and runs one evergreen template campaign alongside client work with the browser open during the day.
- **Independent recruiter**: Sources candidates for several open roles at once and wants sequenced outreach without per-role manual tracking. Outcome: Builds a list per role from Sales Navigator search URLs, runs a template sequence per list, and uses smart reply detection so responding candidates stop getting automated follow-ups.
- **Early-stage SaaS founder**: Is doing first sales personally and wants LinkedIn plus email in one motion without stitching together two tools. Outcome: Runs Business-tier multichannel sequences that fall back to a Dropcontact-sourced email when a LinkedIn invite goes unanswered, doubling the number of prospects who get a real touch.
- **Two-person agency**: Serves a handful of small clients and needs to run outreach from more than one LinkedIn account without buying separate subscriptions. Outcome: Uses a Business plan's multiple sender accounts to run both partners' outreach under one bill, though they outgrow this fast if the client roster expands past a couple of accounts.

## Pricing

Per-user monthly pricing in EUR, billed monthly, quarterly (20% off), or annually (50% off); each seat corresponds to a LinkedIn account.

- **Pro**: €19 per user / month. 300 LinkedIn invites/month; Unlimited campaigns; 99+ pre-built sequence templates; 25 email finder credits/month; CRM sync (2,000+ tools). Roughly €9.50/mo effective on annual billing.
- **Advanced**: €49 per user / month. 800 LinkedIn invites/month; 500 email finder credits/month; API access; Zapier, Make, and n8n integrations; 4-hour live chat support. Roughly €24.50/mo effective on annual billing.
- **Business**: €69 per user / month. 800 LinkedIn invites/month; 500 email finder credits/month; Multichannel LinkedIn + cold email sequences; Multiple LinkedIn sender accounts. Roughly €34.50/mo effective on annual billing; the tier most reviewers call the practical default.

Add-ons:

- Inbox Waalaxy (~€20/user/month): Separate subscription for the unified LinkedIn reply inbox with templates, tagging, and scheduled follow-ups; includes 500 free conversations with no time limit before it starts billing further usage.

Billing notes:

- Prices are listed in EUR; US buyers pay the euro amount converted at the card processor's rate, there's no separate USD price list published.
- Annual billing cuts list price by 50%, the steepest discount of any tool in this category's comparison set, which matters a lot given the low starting price.
- Email finder credits are consumed only when an address is actually found, not per search, which stretches the monthly allotment further than the raw number suggests.
- Inbox Waalaxy bills separately from the core plan; budgeting for it as a bolt-on cost is easy to miss when comparing Waalaxy's headline price to competitors that bundle a reply inbox.

Value assessment: At €19 to €69 a month, Waalaxy is priced well under Dripify, Expandi, and HeyReach, and its free plan is one of the only real (non-trial) free tiers in the category. The catch is that the sticker price undersells the real cost: Inbox Waalaxy is a separate line item, and the browser-extension architecture asks the user to supply the always-on machine that a cloud tool would otherwise provide. For a solo operator already at their desk during outreach hours, that trade is a good one; for anyone wanting true set-and-forget automation, the effective cost includes keeping a computer running.

## Strengths

- Lowest entry price in the category with a genuinely useful free tier, not just a time-boxed trial.
- 99+ template library removes the blank-page problem for first-time users.
- Email Finder credits only burn on a successful match, stretching modest monthly allotments.
- Multichannel LinkedIn-to-email fallback on Business closes a gap pure-LinkedIn tools leave open.
- Simple enough to be productive within an hour with no formal onboarding.

## Limitations

- Chrome-extension architecture means campaigns only run while the browser is open and the computer is awake, unlike cloud-based competitors.
- No account rotation or pooled-limit model, so agencies working multiple client accounts outgrow it quickly.
- Inbox Waalaxy is billed separately from the core subscription, an add-on cost easy to miss when comparing headline prices.
- Browser-extension execution is generally considered easier for LinkedIn to fingerprint than server-side cloud tools with stable dedicated IPs.
- Same category-wide caveat as every LinkedIn automation tool: it operates against LinkedIn's terms of service, and no vendor can eliminate that risk, only manage it.

## Comparisons

- **Waalaxy vs Expandi**: Expandi runs from the cloud with dedicated IPs and engagement scraping at roughly 1.5 to 5 times Waalaxy's price; Waalaxy runs from a browser extension you have to keep open at a fraction of the cost. Pick Expandi when account safety architecture and always-on execution matter more than price; pick Waalaxy when budget and simplicity matter more and you're at your desk anyway.
- **Waalaxy vs HeyReach**: HeyReach is built for agencies pooling many LinkedIn accounts behind one cloud-run limit; Waalaxy is built for one person running one account from their own browser. An agency scaling past a couple of client seats should not try to make Waalaxy do HeyReach's job.
- **Waalaxy vs Dripify**: Both target the same solo-operator and small-team buyer, but Dripify runs cloud-side with no browser dependency, while Waalaxy needs an open tab and undercuts Dripify's price by roughly half on comparable tiers. The deciding question is whether always-on execution is worth Dripify's premium, or whether Waalaxy's lower price and free tier are worth tolerating the browser requirement.

## Implementation

- Setup time: Under 30 minutes to install the extension and launch a first template campaign.
- Learning curve: Very low; templates remove most of the setup decisions a new user would otherwise face.
- Onboarding: Self-serve, with an active blog and template library standing in for formal onboarding.
- Migration: CSV import/export and LinkedIn/Sales Navigator search URLs make both entry and exit low-friction, since prospect data and conversations ultimately live on LinkedIn itself.

## Platform, API & security

- Platforms: Chrome extension (Chromium-based browsers)
- API: REST API available on Advanced and above; Zapier, Make, and n8n cover most no-code automation needs.
- Compliance: GDPR-aligned processes (France-based company, EU data handling for email enrichment via Dropcontact)
- Data residency: EU-based company and infrastructure (Montpellier, France).
- SSO: Not offered; standard email/password login.
- Security notes: Runs entirely client-side through the browser extension using your existing LinkedIn session rather than server-managed credentials; no SOC 2 or ISO certification publicly listed.

## Support

- Channels: Live chat (4-hour response on Advanced/Business), Email, Help center
- Documentation: An extensive, actively updated blog covering setup, quotas, and prospecting tactics, functioning as the de facto knowledge base.
- Community: Active French and English-language blog content; no formal user community or forum.

## FAQ

### What is Waalaxy used for?

Waalaxy automates LinkedIn prospecting, connection requests, messages, profile visits, and follow-ups, through a Chrome extension, and can extend the same sequence into cold email using its own Email Finder credits on higher tiers.

### How much does Waalaxy cost?

Pro is €19/user/month, Advanced €49, and Business €69, all billed monthly, with quarterly billing cutting 20% and annual billing cutting 50%. A free plan exists permanently, capped at roughly 3 actions per day per action type.

### Is Waalaxy really free, or is that just a trial?

There is a genuine free plan with no time limit, distinct from the separate 14-day free trial offered on paid tiers. The free plan is capped tightly (around 3 actions per day per type, no email finder, no CRM sync), enough to test the workflow but not to prospect at any real volume.

### Does Waalaxy require keeping my browser open?

Yes. Waalaxy runs as a Chrome extension acting on your live LinkedIn session, so campaigns only progress while that browser tab is open and the computer is on, unlike cloud-based competitors such as Dripify or Expandi.

### Is Waalaxy safe to use with LinkedIn?

Waalaxy builds in randomized delays and monthly invite caps to stay under LinkedIn's own limits, but like every LinkedIn automation tool it operates against LinkedIn's terms of service, and running automation through a browser extension is generally considered easier for LinkedIn to detect than server-side cloud execution with a stable proxy. Risk is managed, not eliminated, and that's true of the entire category, not just Waalaxy.

### What is Inbox Waalaxy and is it included in the plan price?

Inbox Waalaxy is a unified reply inbox with templates, tagging, and scheduled follow-ups. It is not bundled into Pro, Advanced, or Business; it's a separate paid add-on priced around €20/user/month, with 500 free conversations before further usage bills.

### How does Waalaxy's Email Finder work?

It's powered by Dropcontact's semantic-matching algorithm, which tests likely combinations of a prospect's name against their company's email domain. A credit is spent only when a valid address is actually found, not on every search attempt, which is why the monthly allotment (25 on Pro, 500 on Advanced and Business) tends to go further than it first appears.

### Can Waalaxy send cold email, not just LinkedIn messages?

Yes, but only on the Business plan, where a sequence can automatically fall back to a cold email step if a prospect doesn't respond to a LinkedIn invite, using the email address the Email Finder resolved for that same prospect.

### What was Waalaxy called before, and why does that matter?

Waalaxy launched in 2019 as ProspectIn, built by the French company Waapi for their own use, before rebranding to Waalaxy in early 2021 with a redesigned interface and multichannel features. The company has stayed bootstrapped and France-based (Montpellier) throughout.

### Waalaxy vs Dripify, which should I pick?

Both target solo operators and small teams, but Dripify runs from the cloud with no browser dependency at a higher price, while Waalaxy runs from a Chrome extension you have to keep open at roughly half the cost and with a real free tier. Pick Dripify if always-on execution matters more than price; pick Waalaxy if the reverse is true.

## Editorial verdict

Waalaxy earns its popularity honestly: it's the cheapest credible way into LinkedIn automation, its template library removes the intimidation factor for first-timers, and its free plan is one of the only real ones in the category. The trade for that price is architectural, a Chrome extension that needs an open browser and an awake machine, and a reply inbox billed separately from the core plan, both of which are easy to miss when comparing sticker prices against cloud competitors. For a solo founder, freelancer, or independent recruiter already working from their laptop during outreach hours, that trade is a clear win; for an agency or anyone wanting true unattended automation, it's the wrong tool no matter how good the price looks.
