[01] WHO DOES THE LINKEDIN STEP

SmartReach assigns it.

Seleqt sends it.

SmartReach is a well-rounded email and sales engagement platform with calling, a free email verifier, and no per-seat pricing. On LinkedIn, its plans include manual seats: the step becomes a task for a rep, unless you add automation per account.

SMARTREACH FITS IFSmartReach

Email and calling lead, and your reps are happy to handle LinkedIn tasks by hand.

Sales Engagement Basic is $39 a month with one calling seat and one manual LinkedIn seat. LinkedIn automation is $29 per account.

SELEQT FITS IFSeleqt

You want LinkedIn steps to run on schedule, without a rep clicking through tasks.

Seleqt sends invites and messages itself, follows up by email, and collects every reply in one inbox.

01 / AUTOMATE

LinkedIn runs on schedule.

SmartReach’s Sales Engagement plans include manual LinkedIn seats, so each LinkedIn step becomes a task for a rep. Automating it is a $29 add-on per account a month. Seleqt sends invites and messages itself on Starter, follows up by email if there is no reply, and collects every reply in one inbox.

No per-account automation add-on

02 / AI

AI on the first plan.

SmartReach’s Smart Email AI Agent and AI automations like reply classification are listed on Pro and Scale. Seleqt includes AI qualification and messaging on Starter, at $79 a month. Each lead gets a verdict with reasoning and sources, and the message is written from that lead’s company research.

03 / TIME

Hours back each week.

With manual LinkedIn seats, someone has to open each task and send the invite or message by hand. That takes hours a week. On Seleqt, those steps run automatically in the sequence, so the queue clears itself and reps spend their time on the replies instead.
