Waalaxy is the budget option: €19 to €69 per user per month for LinkedIn sequences from a browser extension, with a 14-day trial and templates to copy. The quotas are tight (300 invites a month on Pro), the inbox is a paid add-on and the leads come from whatever LinkedIn search you paste in. Updately costs more per month and does a different job: it finds the people showing intent, scores them against your ICP, researches each one and writes the message, then handles the replies, from the cloud, with your laptop closed.

What would Waalaxy cost your team?
Waalaxy lists at about €49 per seat per month. Updately is $19 per account for sending only, or $39 / $69 / $99 a month for 1 / 2 / 3 accounts with signals finding the leads.

Waalaxy Advanced lists at €49 per user per month billed monthly (Pro is €19 with 300 invites a month, Business €69 adds cold email). Quarterly billing takes 20% off and yearly 50%. The LinkedIn inbox is a separate paid add-on. Their prices are in euros and ours in dollars; the saving treats them as roughly equal. The saving compares like for like: Waalaxy sends to lists you bring, so it is set against Updately Outreach. The signals plans add the lead sourcing Waalaxy does not do.
Where Waalaxy fits
Waalaxy is the tool people try first. It installs as a Chrome extension, pulls prospects straight from a LinkedIn search and runs a pre-built sequence of visits, invites and messages. At €19 a month it is hard to argue with for a solo user who wants to send a few hundred invites.
The limits show up quickly: invite quotas per plan, a browser that has to stay open unless you pay for cloud mode, an inbox sold separately and messages that are templates with a first name dropped in.
What teams hit with Waalaxy
- Quotas. 300 invites a month on Pro, 800 on Advanced. Hit it and the campaign stops.
- Your browser is the server. The extension runs where you are logged in, from your own IP. Cloud mode is extra.
- The list is a search URL. Everyone in the results gets the sequence; nothing tells you who is actually in market.
- Templates. Pre-built sequences save time and read like everyone else’s.
- Inbox costs extra. Managing replies is a paid add-on on top of the plan.
How to move from Waalaxy to Updately
- 1Connect your LinkedIn account. Updately runs in the cloud on a dedicated IP; uninstall the extension.
- 2Describe your ICP once. Leads are scored against it before anyone is messaged.
- 3Turn on three signals – profile viewers, competitor post engagers, hiring – instead of pasting search URLs.
- 4Import your Waalaxy prospects as CSV if you want to keep them; they are scored like the rest.
- 5Set the reply agent’s playbook. The inbox is included, and the agent answers the easy replies.
When Waalaxy is the better choice
- Budget is the only constraint and €19 a month for 300 invites is the whole requirement.
- You want to prospect by hand from LinkedIn searches and just need the clicks automated.
- You are happy with templates and have time to answer every reply yourself.
Which should you choose?
| If you are… | Choose |
|---|---|
| Solo, €19 budget, 300 invites is enough | Waalaxy |
| A founder who wants pipeline without building lists | Updately – signals and scoring for $39 |
| Hitting Waalaxy quotas or paying for inbox and cloud add-ons | Updately – cloud, inbox and reply agent included |
| Messages that read like templates | Updately – research-based, in your voice |
| You have a list and only need it worked | Updately Outreach at $19 per account |
