What are the best Valley alternatives for LinkedIn outbound with buying signals?

Seven Valley alternatives worth a trial

We ordered the list by how much of Valley's approach each tool keeps: targeting from signals, research behind each message and approval before anything sends.

1. Gojiberry

Lower-cost signal outreach on LinkedIn and email · From $99/mo (Pro); free trial

Gojiberry is the nearest like-for-like swap. You give it your website, it learns what you sell and who buys, then its agents detect buying and social signals (competitor engagement, people following your company, profile visits, job changes, hiring), score prospects against your ideal customer and contact the best of them on LinkedIn and email. Valley's own alternatives page points buyers there for the signal approach at a lower entry price.

Pro is $99 a month for 2 agents and up to 1,800 prospects contacted a month, and it includes email and phone enrichment from 15+ providers, website visitor identification and a unified inbox. Valley charges credits for email finding and keeps waterfall email enrichment for Plus. Gojiberry connects to HubSpot, Pipedrive, Attio and Claude, with an API and MCP.

Watch out for: Gojiberry can run fully on its own, so decide up front whether you want approval on. Teams of three or more go to a custom plan through a demo and the price isn't published. See Bingle vs Gojiberry and our Gojiberry alternatives post for more.

2. Fuzzy AI

Sellers who'd rather build familiarity than send cold · From $149/mo (USD); no free trial

Fuzzy costs the same as Valley's quarterly Starter seat but works another way. It shows your target buyers' posts in a feed, drafts comments in your voice so you turn up there, writes posts for your own profile, and then moves the people who engage into personalised outreach that you can approve before it sends.

Building a list doesn't need Sales Navigator: you describe the buyer and it pulls verified emails and phones through Firmable, Exa and ContactOut, paying only for successful hits. You can also build lists from people who engaged with your posts or a competitor's. Every plan has the same features and differs by credits; Starter's 3,000 a month cover at most 600 personalised sequences or 300 competitor audience pulls.

Watch out for: No free trial, and multi-seat management sits on the custom Enterprise plan, so a three-person team starts with a sales conversation. Valley at least gives you 7 days to test.

3. Bingle

Founders on LinkedIn who want ranked leads with the reason shown · 7 days free, no card; then from US$49/mo

Bingle is the one we make. Like Valley it starts with the signal: who viewed your profile, who liked or commented on a competitor's or an influencer's post, who engaged with yours, who changed jobs, and which companies are hiring, raising money or heading to an event. It scores each person against your ideal customer and shows the signal behind the score, with its date and a link.

Valley says it researches each prospect across 200+ data points. Bingle keeps the message tied to the moment that made someone a lead, and its Dig deeper button reads the person's latest posts and their company's news to write a short brief with a suggested opener. Drafts wait for your approval by default, any reply stops the sequence, and it all runs from your own LinkedIn profile, or from Claude and ChatGPT once you connect it there.

The price gap is large. Growth is US$79 a month with every signal Bingle watches, and Agency is US$149 for up to three LinkedIn accounts, where Valley charges $199 for each seat.

Watch out for: Valley can send email from your own inbox in the same sequence (an add-on on Starter, included on Plus). Bingle never sends email and has no HubSpot sync or contact database, so if email was why you chose Valley, Bingle won't cover that part.

4. lemlist

Teams that want to build multichannel sequences themselves · From $55/mo billed yearly; LinkedIn needs Multichannel, from $87/mo per user; 14-day trial

lemlist is a sequencer first, with email, LinkedIn, calls, SMS and WhatsApp as steps you arrange. Its intent signal agents watch for companies hiring, raising funds, visiting your site or changing tech stack, contacts changing jobs and people engaging with a LinkedIn profile, company or topic, then suggest a sequence and copy for each trigger.

LinkedIn automation (visits, invites, messages, voice notes and InMail) comes with the Multichannel plan: $109 a month per user, or $87 billed yearly, with 5 senders per user. The buying-signals add-on starts at $29 a month for 100 signals. It includes a 650M+ lead database, an email finder and an MCP server.

Watch out for: You do more of the setup than in Valley. Each signal spotted uses credits on top of the seat, and the website visitor signal needs a tracking script on your site.

5. HeyReach

Agencies that count cost per LinkedIn sender · From $79/mo per sender; 14-day trial, no card

Valley's homepage names HeyReach as one of the tools its customers moved off, and the reverse move suits one kind of buyer: an agency running many LinkedIn accounts. HeyReach charges per sender rather than per user, so teammates, VAs and clients log in free, and each client's data, senders and campaigns stay in a separate workspace.

The entry plan covers every LinkedIn action, unlimited campaigns, a shared inbox and 100 enrichment credits per sender, and its FAQ says each sender gets a dedicated residential proxy. Signals come in from outside: site visits, ad engagement or post interactions pushed in from tools such as RB2B or Clay.

Watch out for: HeyReach's site doesn't describe per-prospect research or writing in your voice. Messages come from your campaign copy or from an AI agent you connect through its MCP, and you'll want a signal source and an email tool beside it.

6. Expandi

Big LinkedIn campaigns from lists you already have · $99/mo per seat, or $79/mo billed yearly; 7-day free trial

Expandi is a cloud LinkedIn sequencer that leads on account safety: a dedicated country-based IP per account, automatic warm-up and limit ranges it won't let you go over. Its builder mixes connection requests, messages, InMails and email follow-ups with if/then branches that react to accepts, replies and engagement.

Audiences come from searches, CSV imports and LinkedIn groups, events and posts. Its new MCP lets Claude or ChatGPT build lists, draft campaigns and write replies, and Expandi says nothing sends until you approve it. Agency plans for 10+ seats add white label.

Watch out for: Expandi doesn't look for buying signals or score leads; it runs the list you feed it. Bingle vs Expandi covers the differences in more detail.

7. AiSDR

Buyers who want outreach run for them, email first · Pay as you go at $1.50 per person prospected

If what you liked about Valley was handing over the work, AiSDR goes further. You chat with its agent, Ami, which proposes audiences and angles from your website and past wins, then finds people, researches them and runs email, LinkedIn and phone steps. It can watch any public signal you define, such as a keyword in a LinkedIn post or a competitor named in an earnings call.

Pay-as-you-go needs no sales call and no card to start building; you pay when you launch. Team plans for 1,000+ people a month add LinkedIn profile-view, post and keyword signals, website visitor tracking, a Salesforce integration and lower prices per contact. A managed service runs one campaign for $149, or the whole channel for $2,500 a month.

Watch out for: Per-person pricing adds up: 300 people a month is $450, more than two Valley Starter seats billed quarterly. Its plan includes email infrastructure on lookalike domains with warm-up, the cold-email approach Valley says it avoids by sending from your own inbox.

What Valley offers today

Valley's Starter plan is LinkedIn only: prospecting, qualification and research, messages in your voice, LinkedIn campaigns and follow-ups, a unified inbox, ICP scoring and its assistant, Scout. It's $199 a seat a month, or $149 billed quarterly, and one seat connects one LinkedIn account. Plus ($299, or $249 quarterly) adds 1,000 emails a month and onboarding. Growth ($499) adds $300 of credits a month. Five seats or more go to custom Valley Scale pricing.

Credits pay for finding new prospects, finding and verifying email addresses and upgraded message writing. Research, base message writing, imports and LinkedIn sending are in the seat price. Valley's own blog says email arrived in August 2026 and is capped at about 30 a day per seat from your own inbox, by design.

The usual reasons to look around follow from that: the per-seat price for a small team, a trial that needs a card, credits on top, or wanting a different balance between research and volume.

Pick by what you want to keep from Valley

If your Valley results disappointed, check the input before the tool. Look at your last 30 days of profile views and post engagement, and at whether your competitors post often enough to have engagers worth contacting. A thin signal pool makes every tool in this group look bad. Our page on LinkedIn buying signals explains which ones tend to carry weight, and the signal check shows what your market gives off.

Monthly cost for one seller and for three

List prices from each site on 24 October 2026, before tax and before any credit top-ups.

Bingle's annual plans charge 10 months for 12, which puts Agency at US$1,490 a year for three LinkedIn accounts. The cheapest rows here (HeyReach and Expandi) are also the ones where you supply the signals yourself, so add the cost of whatever finds your leads.

LinkedIn's rules don't change when you switch

LinkedIn's User Agreement, quoted on its help page about prohibited software, bans bots and other unauthorised automated methods that send messages or like, comment on or share posts, and says members using such tools risk having their accounts restricted or shut down. That covers every tool here, including Bingle and Valley. A dedicated IP or a residential proxy changes how a tool connects, not what LinkedIn's rules say.

Two habits matter more than the vendor. Don't connect one LinkedIn account to two automation tools at once while you trial a replacement, and let a newly connected account start slowly. Bingle starts new accounts on lower daily limits and ramps up over the first couple of weeks. Our connection request limit post covers the numbers in more depth.

How to move off Valley without dropping conversations

1. Let sequences already in flight finish in Valley rather than moving people mid-thread. A prospect notices when the tone and timing change halfway through.
2. Export your leads and conversation history before the billing date.
3. Write down the plays that worked: which signal, which audience, which opener. That's the part worth rebuilding.
4. In the new tool, add the competitors and influencers you tracked. In Bingle they go in Brain > Market, and Bingle starts watching who engages with their posts.
5. Bring across the people you still want to reach. Bingle takes pasted LinkedIn profile links, one or hundreds at a time.
6. Disconnect LinkedIn from Valley before you connect it to the new tool, and keep volume low for the first week.
