Editorial Face-off
The Case for Octopus CRM
“Octopus CRM is one of the most affordable LinkedIn automation tools available. Perfect for individual reps and small teams who want basic LinkedIn outreach automation, but it lacks the sophistication and multi-channel capabilities of more advanced tools.”
The Case for Waalaxy
“Waalaxy is the go-to LinkedIn automation tool for simplicity and value. Its free tier, pre-made templates, and AI writer make it perfect for individuals and small teams. The Business plan adds email for true multi-channel outbound. Best for those who want LinkedIn as their primary acquisition channel.”
