Same engine, different fuel

Matched on features. Split on whose signals matter

Both tools branch and personalize. Skylead points its signals at strangers engaging with a topic. Expandi points them at your audience, and hands you the controls from a prompt.

Expandi
Run by prompt (MCP) Expandi MCP: build lists, draft campaigns and replies, and find why a campaign stalled, by prompt AI SDR and enrichment add-ons; no MCP listed
Whose signals Your audience: profile visits, company-page visits, follows Strangers engaging with a chosen topic or keyword
Smart sequences (if/then) Yes Yes
LinkedIn, email and InMail Yes Yes

Price $99/seat/month, $79 annually About $100/seat; $999 for 25 seats (Agency)

Even on sequences, channels and image personalization, and near-identical on price. The real difference is this: you run Expandi by prompt, its signals act on your own audience, and it manages many accounts from one dashboard.

Expandi MCP

Run campaigns by prompt, from Claude or ChatGPT

Connect your AI and drive Expandi with a single sentence: build lists, draft campaigns and replies, and get a straight answer on why a campaign stalled. Skylead’s AI is an SDR and enrichment layer; Expandi’s MCP is the whole tool, run from a prompt.
See what the MCP can do
  1. Step 1

    One prompt, one draft

    “Qualify my leads for fintech founders and draft the Q4 sequence.” The list and the draft land in your account.
  2. Step 2

    Reads the room

    Ask why a campaign’s flat and it points at the step, the limit, or the dry lead list.
  3. Step 3

    You’re still the boss

    Every list, reply and draft waits for your yes.
Signal-led outbound

Warm beats keyword-matched

Skylead finds people engaging with posts on a topic. Expandi finds the ones who viewed your profile, visited your company page, or followed you, so they’re already warm, and routes them to the right branch within about 24 hours. Profile and company-page signals need LinkedIn Premium or Sales Navigator.
Skylead

Keyword match

  • Find strangers engaging with posts about fintech.
Expandi

Your audience

  • Find who viewed my profile twice and checked our company page.
  • They already know us.
Many accounts, one view

Run ten accounts without ten logins

Workspaces manage every account from one dashboard, and Shared Campaigns split leads so two reps never hit the same prospect. Skylead ties one LinkedIn account to one seat.

Workspaces

Every LinkedIn account in one dashboard, with teammates and clients added free.

Shared Campaigns

Leads split across reps, so no prospect hears from two of them.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Expandi and Skylead, side by side.

They’re genuinely close on sequences, channels and image personalization. Pick Expandi if you want to run outreach by prompt, act on signals from your own audience, add video, and manage many accounts from one dashboard. If a topic-based email-and-data stack is the job, Skylead fits.

Yes, both run multichannel sequences across LinkedIn, email and InMail. The difference sits on top: Expandi’s signals target your audience, and you can drive the whole tool from a prompt.

Workspaces manage multiple accounts from one dashboard and Shared Campaigns stop double-touches. Skylead works one account per seat, so scale means logins and lists to reconcile.

A live connector that lets Claude or ChatGPT build lists, draft campaigns and replies, and tell you why a campaign stalled. You approve before anything sends. Skylead’s AI is an SDR add-on, not run-it-by-prompt control.

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.
