A bigger list isn’t a warmer one

HeyReach splits one list across more senders. Expandi starts from intent, someone who viewed you or liked your post, then branches on what they do next.

Both run from the cloud, give each account its own IP, and have a unified inbox, an API and an MCP. HeyReach is the simpler, more affordable way to push volume across many senders. Expandi is the pick when you want laser-focused outreach that starts from buyer signals and branches on behavior.

Expandi MCP

Ask your AI why a campaign stalled

Connect Claude or ChatGPT to Expandi, ask it to check a campaign, and it reads your live numbers, names the cause, and drafts the fix. Nothing changes until you approve. Both tools ship an MCP; Expandi’s covers the whole loop, from lists and campaign drafts to replies and diagnosis.
See what the MCP can do
  1. Step 1

    Reads on request

    You ask; it pulls live data, not a background watcher.
  2. Step 2

    Names the cause

    Limit hit, sending outside hours, account disconnected, out of leads.
  3. Step 3

    Drafts, you decide

    It proposes; nothing sends without your yes.
Signal-led outbound

Reach out when something actually happens

A profile view, a post like, a company-page visit. Expandi enrolls them automatically and syncs new matches about every 24 hours. Profile and company-page signals need LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator.
Static list

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Expandi and HeyReach, side by side.

If your outreach starts from a signal and branches on behavior, yes. Expandi enrolls profile visitors and post engagers automatically and runs email in the same sequence. If you scale by rotating many senders on a simple connect-and-follow-up, HeyReach is simpler and cheaper.

Yes. Email is a step in the same sequence (connect Gmail, Outlook or SMTP), and a reply on either channel pauses the lead. HeyReach has no email step; it hands leads to Instantly, Smartlead or EmailBison.

No. At one seat it’s $99 against HeyReach’s $79 per sender, and HeyReach drops to $59 at 10+. Expandi earns its price on signals, branching and in-sequence email, not on being the cheaper tool.

A connector that lets Claude or ChatGPT build lists, draft campaigns and replies, and tell you why a campaign stalled. You approve before anything sends. HeyReach has an MCP too.

Safety is built into how Expandi runs. Every account gets its own dedicated country-based IP, a gradual warm-up that ramps activity like a real person, human-like delays, and daily limits you control, so you stay inside LinkedIn’s normal patterns, not spiking past them. No tool can promise zero risk, but keeping those guardrails on is what keeps accounts healthy.
