Which LinkedIn automation tool is safe and worth using?
None of them is safe by LinkedIn's rules: section 8.2 of its User Agreement bans bots or other unauthorized automated methods to add contacts, send messages, or like, comment and share, and its help page on prohibited software says members who use such tools risk having their accounts restricted or shut down, and that the tools may stop working without notice. People still pay for Expandi ($99 a month, $79 billed annually), Waalaxy (from Rs 431 a user a month), Dripify ($59 a user a month billed annually) and HeyReach ($79 a month per sender), and the risk sits with your own profile, the one asset you cannot replace. The sanctioned way to work LinkedIn at volume is Sales Navigator, Core at US$119.99 a month, with you sending the requests and messages yourself. The rule: let software research and remind you, and do every click on someone's profile by hand.
