Comparison
Both automate LinkedIn. One is cloud-native and built for running many sender profiles as a single campaign; the other is a desktop tool with deeper per-profile control. That distinction decides which one fits your team.

| Dimension | HeyReach | Linked Helper | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Cloud, vendor-hosted | Application-based workflow; distinguish local-storage and cloud-storage plans | Confirm execution requirements. Cloud storage alone does not mean vendor-hosted automation. |
| Multi-profile campaigns | Built around pooling many senders into one campaign | Multiple profiles possible, coordinated per instance | Deciding factor for agencies and multi-client work. |
| Deduplication across senders | Handled at campaign level | Needs your own process across instances | Two senders touching one prospect is the fastest way to look automated. |
| Per-profile control | Campaign-level settings | Granular, per-instance control | Matters when one profile needs different behaviour from the rest. |
| Reporting | Campaign-level, across the sender pool | Per instance | Pooled reporting is what a client report needs. |
| Running cost model | Per sender seat, vendor-published | Licence-based, vendor-published | Check the vendor pages — we do not restate prices that change. |
| Where our reply desk sits | Outside the tool | Outside the tool | Neither platform inbox should be where interest waits. |
HeyReach was designed for exactly this: pool ten sender profiles, share one list, and every prospect is touched once by one sender. Linked Helper can do multi-profile work, but each instance runs on its own machine, so coordination is manual.
Restriction risk comes from behaviour, not branding. We cap connection requests and messages well below platform thresholds, use a dedicated residential proxy per profile, and ramp new senders over two weeks. Both tools support this; only discipline enforces it.
Our reply desk sits outside either tool: replies stream into a live checker that pushes to Telegram within minutes so a human answers the same hour. Whichever tool you pick, do not let interest sit in a platform inbox nobody watches.

Product architecture and feature statements below come from each vendor's own documentation, linked at the bottom of the page. Workflow guidance comes from how we run pooled-sender LinkedIn campaigns. We have not run a controlled head-to-head test, and we do not publish one.
