HeyReagent / Linked Helper alternative
Linked Helper and HeyReagent: two different jobs
Linked Helper is desktop software: it runs on your own computer or a server you rent, sends invitations and message sequences, and lists a license from $15 a month. HeyReagent is one agent in the cloud that reads each conversation, writes the next message for that person, and asks you before it sends. It costs more, and it does a different job.
Side by side
| Linked Helper | HeyReagent | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Desktop software for LinkedIn automation: invitations, message sequences, reply detection, data enrichment. | One agent on your own LinkedIn. It reads each conversation and writes the next message for that person. |
| Where it runs | On your own computer or a VPS, on both its versions. Its page says the computer has to be on and running the app. | In the cloud. Nothing to keep running on your computer. |
| Writing | AI personalized messages wait in a drafts queue for your approval, one by one or in bulk. It also lists an AI reply assistant for the inbox. | It writes each message from the conversation so far, in your voice, and waits for your approval. |
| What you set up | Campaigns. Its page lists unlimited campaigns. | How many qualified meetings you want a week, and what a qualified meeting is. No campaigns. |
| Where your data lives | Local version: on your device. Cloud version: on its servers. | In your HeyReagent account. |
| For your own tools | Outgoing webhooks on both versions, incoming ones on the cloud version. | An MCP address and a plain API, free to start. |
| Price | Standard: a $15 a month list price per license on a one-month term, less for longer terms and more licenses. A free start with no card. | Agent $499 a month. The API and MCP address alone: free, or $29.99 a month kept connected. |
What is said about Linked Helper is from its own site, read on 29 October 2026. Check it for today's prices.
When Linked Helper is the better choice
- You want software you run yourself, with your data on your own device.
- You want invitations, sequences and data enrichment in one tool.
- Price matters most.
When HeyReagent is
- Replies and half-finished conversations are where you lose deals, more than a lack of new people.
- You would rather approve a draft written for one person than build a campaign.
- You do not want to keep a computer or a server running.
What is the same for both
Both act on your own LinkedIn account, and LinkedIn's User Agreement does not allow automated activity. LinkedIn can limit or restrict an account, whichever tool you use. HeyReagent puts a daily limit on every kind of action for each account; the numbers are public.
Questions
How much does Linked Helper cost?
On its pricing page on 29 October 2026, the Standard plan with local storage had a list price of $15 a license a month on a one-month term, with discounts for longer terms (3 months 11%, 6 months 33%, 12 months 45%) and for more licenses. It offers a free start with no card.
Is HeyReagent cheaper than Linked Helper?
No. The Agent plan is $499 a month, and Linked Helper’s Standard license was listed at $15 a month when we read its pricing page on 29 October 2026. They do different jobs: Linked Helper automates campaigns from software on your computer, and the agent reads each conversation and drafts the next message.
Do I have to keep my computer on?
Not for HeyReagent, which runs in the cloud. Linked Helper’s page says its software runs on your own computer or a VPS and has to be running.
Can I bring my Linked Helper campaigns over?
No. There is nothing to import, because HeyReagent has no campaigns. You connect LinkedIn, it reads how you write, and it starts from your inbox.
Rather have it done for you?
The Agent plan answers your inbox in your voice, follows up, and finds who to talk to today. You approve what it sends.
HeyReagent is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by LinkedIn. LinkedIn's own terms apply to your account. What this page says about other products was read on their own pages on 29 October 2026.
