Updately vs Dripify

Dripify is a cloud LinkedIn drip-campaign tool at $59–$99 per user. Updately adds what Dripify leaves to you: finding leads from buying signals, ICP scoring, research-based messages and an AI reply agent, from $39 a month.

Verdict

Dripify is a tidy cloud LinkedIn automation tool: drip campaigns with A/B tests, a team view and an inbox on Pro, at $59 to $99 per user per month. The list comes from a LinkedIn search or CSV and the messages are templates. Updately does the sending too, and starts a step earlier: buying signals find who to contact, an ICP score decides who is worth it, the AI researches and writes each message, and an agent answers the replies, for $39–$99 a month.

What would Dripify cost your team?

Dripify Pro lists at $79 per user per month billed monthly ($59 yearly). Basic is $59 ($39 yearly) with limited campaigns and quotas; Advanced $99 ($79 yearly) adds team management. One licence covers one LinkedIn account. The saving compares like for like: Dripify sends to lists you bring, so it is set against Updately Outreach. The signals plans add the lead sourcing Dripify does not do.

Where Dripify fits

Dripify is LinkedIn automation done cleanly. You paste a search, build a drip sequence of visits, invites, messages and endorsements, A/B test the copy and watch the funnel in a dashboard. On Advanced a manager sees every rep’s campaigns in one place.

It stops at the sending. Who goes into the campaign, what the message says and what happens when someone replies are all still your work.

What teams hit with Dripify

  • Per-user pricing on top of per-user Sales Navigator. Three reps on Pro are $237 a month before anyone has a list.
  • The list is a search. Everyone in the results gets the drip, fit or not. No scoring, no signals.
  • Template copy. A/B testing two templates is still testing two templates.
  • Basic is tight. The cheapest plan limits campaigns and quotas; most teams end up on Pro.
  • Replies are manual. The inbox collects them; a rep answers each one.

How to move from Dripify to Updately

  1. 1Connect your LinkedIn account. Updately is cloud-based with a dedicated IP, like Dripify.
  2. 2Describe your ICP once. Every lead is scored against it before the first message.
  3. 3Turn on three signals – profile viewers, competitor post engagers, hiring – and let the leads arrive scored and enriched.
  4. 4Import your Dripify lists as CSV or straight from Sales Navigator.
  5. 5Set the reply agent’s playbook and approvals, then launch.

When Dripify is the better choice

  • You want simple A/B tests of two templates and a funnel dashboard, nothing more.
  • You have a list process you trust and only want a reliable cloud sender.
  • Your team is large and a manager needs a per-rep view on Advanced. Updately’s workspaces cover small teams.

What Updately customers say

“We were finding prospects who were literally complaining about their PagerDuty bill on Reddit and Twitter. Updately surfaced them, crafted the perfect message, and we just had to show up to the demo. It's like having a sales team that never sleeps.”
Mansi, Head of Growth, PagerlyRead the case study
“I found myself looking at some of the messages that it's created and thinking like, wow, where did it find this? This went really deep to find information that you could never do in just a cursory search.”
Tim O'Neil, CRO, VP Sales & BizDev, GGWP
“Updately gave us control of what we were doing as opposed to giving the keys and letting them go. But most importantly, the reason why we joined Updately was because it was a third of the price of the agency that we were using to do a similar type of outreach.”
