Expandi
Expandi starts at $99/month per seat with a 7-day free trial. All core features are included in the single plan.

Where LinkAngler Wins
AI-Powered Lead Discovery
Expandi is an outreach tool -- you need to import leads from elsewhere. LinkAngler discovers prospects automatically based on your ideal customer profile.
ICP Lead Scoring
Every discovered lead gets a transparent 0-100 fit score with per-criterion breakdowns. Expandi does not offer lead scoring.
Voice Note Outreach
Send personalized LinkedIn voice notes as part of your campaign sequence. Expandi does not support voice note steps.
BYO AI with No Markup
Connect your own AI provider and pay model costs directly. No per-lead credits or bundled AI charges.
Where Expandi Wins
Dedicated Country IP per User
Expandi assigns each user a dedicated IP address in their country, reducing geographic flag risk on LinkedIn.
