Disclosure This page is written by GTME, one of the options compared. We’ve tried to be fair; every price links to its source so you can check.
If you have the time to run a tool well, a tool is the cheaper answer. We’re for people who don’t. Below: what each option costs, what it leaves for you to do, and what LinkedIn’s own rules say about all of them, from public prices checked on .
Costs, a month
Tools cost $39 to $120 per LinkedIn profile, AI agents $99 to $499, and done-for-you agencies about $400 to $3,500 a month. Sales Navigator, which most serious outreach needs for searching and for personalized notes at volume, adds $119.99 a month unless someone else pays for it.
| Option | List price a month | Billing basis | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dripify (tool) | $59 to $99 per user | Monthly; $39 to $79 on yearly billing | dripify.com/pricing |
| Expandi Business (tool) | $99 per seat | Monthly; $79 on yearly billing | expandi.io/pricing |
| LinkedIn Sales Navigator Core | $119.99 | Monthly; $89.99 on yearly billing | LinkedIn plan comparison |
| AI agents | $99 to $499 per profile | Monthly | gojiberry.ai; joinvalley.co/pricing |
| Done-for-you agencies | About $400 to $3,500 | Monthly, usually with a minimum term | Cleverly, “start at $397 per month” (cleverly.co); Tactera Digital, “$3,500 / month” (tacteradigital.com) |
| GTME, Starter | $299 | Monthly in advance | Our pricing page |
| GTME, Signal | $699 | Monthly in advance; Sales Navigator lists included | Our pricing page |
| GTME, Authority | $1,999 | Monthly in advance | Our pricing page |
A tool’s price is for the software only. It doesn’t include Sales Navigator, a data or signal tool, or the time someone spends choosing who to invite, and that is where the real cost sits.
Who does what
All four send LinkedIn invitations and messages. They differ in who picks the people, who writes, who answers the replies and how much is left for you to do.
| Question | A LinkedIn tool | An AI agent | A done-for-you agency | GTME |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who picks who to contact | You | The software, you check | Their team | Your operator |
| Who writes the messages | You, or a template | The software drafts, you check | Their team | Your operator |
| Who answers replies | You | You, or an AI | A person, usually on plans from about $1,000 a month | A person, on every plan |
| Buying signals | Rarely | Not published | Usually on higher plans | From Signal, $699 |
| Price a month | $39 to $120 per profile, plus your time | $99 to $499 | About $400 to $3,500 | From $299 |

Which fits you
01
If you have the time to run a tool well, a tool is the cheaper answer. We’re for founders who don’t. A tool fits best when:
02
An agency fits when you need more than LinkedIn, or more volume than one profile can send. Choose one if:
Before you sign, ask who picks the people, who writes, who answers, what runs on your account and how you leave. The nine questions, with the answers that should end the call, are in how to choose a LinkedIn outreach agency.
03
An operator fits a founder who still sells and wants someone else picking who to contact, writing every message and answering every reply. At GTME your operator, a GTM engineer on our team, does that on every plan, from $299 a month. Signal adds buying signals and Sales Navigator lists; Authority adds profile management and posting for inbound. The full terms are on the pricing page, and how the four steps run is written out step by step.
The rules
LinkedIn’s User Agreement doesn’t allow automation tools, and tools, AI agents and most agencies, GTME included, send through one. Section 8.2 says members must not:
“Use bots or other unauthorized automated methods to access the Services, add or download contacts, send or redirect messages, create, comment on, like, share, or re-share posts, or otherwise drive inauthentic engagement.”
LinkedIn’s help page on prohibited software adds that members who use such tools “risk having their accounts restricted or shut down.” The risk sits with the account, whichever option you choose. What changes is who controls the volume, who writes and what happens if LinkedIn restricts you. Ours is on how we run your LinkedIn account, and it matches the contract.
How we compare
Every price is the vendor’s own public list price, with its billing basis, read on . Where a fact isn’t public, we say it isn’t published. We name tool vendors because their prices are public and comparable, and we quote two agencies only for the ends of the agency price range. We recheck every figure each quarter and before any edit.
