Waalaxy is a French tool, based in Toulouse, that automates prospecting on LinkedIn and by email. You pick your prospects, launch message sequences, and the tool sends the invitations and email follow-ups for you. Paid plans start at €19/month. Is it worth it? Yes, as long as LinkedIn is your main channel and you're willing to stay within the platform's limits.
What is Waalaxy?
Waalaxy is a Chrome extension paired with a web app. It automates sales prospecting on LinkedIn and adds an email layer on top. Here's how it works: you import a list of prospects (from a LinkedIn search, Sales Navigator, or a file), choose a sequence, and the tool runs the steps on its own. It visits the profile, sends a connection request, follows up with a message, sends a reminder, and switches to email if the connection doesn't go through.
The company says it has more than 200,000 users. It's one of the most widely used LinkedIn prospecting tools in the French-speaking market, partly because you can get started without any training. You can launch your first campaign the day you sign up, with no growth hacking background.
Waalaxy is built for founders, solo salespeople, and small teams who want to fill their pipeline without assembling a technical stack. For a broader look at what's on the market, see our guide to B2B prospecting tools.
Key features (LinkedIn + email prospecting)
Waalaxy has three main building blocks: sequence building, contact data lookup, and an inbox that works as a lightweight CRM.
Multichannel sequences (LinkedIn + email)
Sequences are the heart of the tool. A sequence is a chain of conditional actions: visit the profile, send an invitation, wait X days, follow up, then switch to email if the person hasn't replied. Waalaxy ships with ready-made sequences, so you don't have to design everything from scratch.
LinkedIn + email multichannel comes only with the Business plan. Lower plans are LinkedIn-only. Check this before you pick a subscription, because LinkedIn alone hits its ceiling quickly (invitation quotas).
Email Finder & enrichment
Waalaxy includes an email finder that pulls a prospect's work email from their profile. The Business plan comes with 500 email finder credits, so you can enrich your lists without a third-party tool. You start from a LinkedIn audience, the tool finds the emails, and you can add an email sequence alongside your LinkedIn messages.
Keep in mind that no email finder is 100% accurate. Some addresses won't be found, and some will be wrong. That applies to every tool on the market, Waalaxy included.
Inbox & lightweight CRM
Waalaxy has a dedicated inbox that pulls your LinkedIn conversations into one place and shows where each prospect stands. It won't replace a full CRM, but it's enough for a small team juggling a hundred conversations at once. If you need more, the tool syncs with external CRMs, starting on the Pro plan.
Once your team grows and you need proper sales management, keep your main CRM and connect Waalaxy to it rather than running everything from the inbox.
Waalaxy pricing 2026
Waalaxy uses a monthly subscription, billed per user. Every plan comes with a 14-day free trial. Committing longer lowers the bill: 20% off with quarterly billing, 50% off with annual billing. Official, up-to-date prices are on the Waalaxy pricing page.
Here are the three paid plans (price per user per month):
- Pro: €19/month. 300 invitations per month, unlimited campaigns, ready-made sequences, automatic follow-ups, CRM sync. This is the entry plan, and it's enough for a founder testing LinkedIn prospecting.
- Advanced: €49/month. 800 invitations per month, API access, Make, Zapier, and n8n integrations, priority support. This plan suits teams who want to automate beyond the interface and plug Waalaxy into a larger workflow.
- Business: €69/month. 800 invitations per month, cold email, LinkedIn + email multichannel, 500 email finder credits. It's the only plan that unlocks full multichannel.
There's also a limited free plan, a leftover from the tool's original freemium model, with a reduced invitation quota. It's fine for trying out how the tool works, but the invitation volume is too low to support serious prospecting. Treat it as a way in, and plan to upgrade before you build anything on it.
One thing to watch on pricing: LinkedIn + email multichannel is only available on the €69 Business plan. If that's what you need, don't sign up for Pro expecting to get it.
Pros and cons (a founder's take)
Waalaxy delivers what it promises, but it comes with the same limits as every tool in its category. Don't choose it thinking it gets around LinkedIn's rules: no tool does that for long.
Strengths
Ease of use is the tool's strongest selling point. You can launch a campaign the day you sign up, with no training, and the ready-made sequences save you a week of building workflows from scratch. Support, documentation, and the community are all in French, which matters more than you'd think for a France-based founder stuck on a Friday night. At €19/month, the entry price lets you test LinkedIn as a channel without a big budget. On integrations, the API and Make, Zapier, and n8n connections come with the Advanced plan, so you can plug the tool into a larger system.
Limitations (LinkedIn quotas, deliverability)
- LinkedIn invitation quotas. LinkedIn caps the number of invitations an account can send, at around a hundred per week depending on the account. Waalaxy respects those limits, and that's a good thing: pushing volume puts your account at risk of restriction or suspension. Never buy a prospecting tool expecting it to let you blow past those caps without consequences.
- Email deliverability. The email side has the same constraints as any cold email tool: without a warmed-up, properly configured sending domain (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), your messages end up in spam. Waalaxy doesn't magically fix this. Your infrastructure is your responsibility.
- Multichannel only on Business. If you want LinkedIn + email, you pay €69/month. Lower plans are LinkedIn-only.
- Dependence on LinkedIn. Like every tool in its category, Waalaxy runs on a platform it doesn't control. A LinkedIn policy change can affect your prospecting overnight.
Waalaxy alternatives
Waalaxy has plenty of competition. Depending on what you need, other tools do better on certain fronts.
- Lemlist: a French tool built around cold email first, with a strong reputation for personalization and deliverability. Go with it if email is your main channel rather than LinkedIn. We've written a detailed review.
- La Growth Machine: another French tool, designed as multichannel (LinkedIn, email, Twitter) from day one. Teams often pick it to run several channels in one sequence without paying for the top-tier plan.
- LinkedHelper: older and less polished, but known for being powerful and affordable for pure LinkedIn automation. A good fit if you want control and a low price and don't mind a steeper learning curve.
- Dripify: a LinkedIn-focused tool with sequences and team dashboards. It competes directly with Waalaxy on LinkedIn.
The choice comes down to your dominant channel, not which tool is "best" in the abstract: LinkedIn only, email only, or both working together.
Who Waalaxy is right for
Waalaxy is a good choice if you're a founder or a small team that wants to prospect on LinkedIn without building a technical setup. You want to move fast, you accept the platform's limits, and LinkedIn is your first channel: that's exactly where it shines.
Waalaxy is a weaker fit if your prospecting relies mostly on high-volume cold email: a dedicated email tool will serve you better. The same goes if you already have a growth team with a custom stack: you'll probably want something more flexible and better integrated.
The simple rule: Waalaxy amplifies whatever your LinkedIn prospecting is already worth. Without a clear message and a precise target, no automation tool will save your campaigns. It will just send bad messages faster.

FAQ
Is Waalaxy safe for my LinkedIn account?
Waalaxy is designed to respect LinkedIn's invitation quotas, which keeps the risk down. LinkedIn doesn't officially approve any automation tool, so the risk is never zero. The danger comes from abuse: if you push volume past the caps, you expose your account to restrictions. Stay within the recommended limits and the risk stays low.
Waalaxy or Lemlist / La Growth Machine?
It depends on your main channel. Waalaxy is the simplest option for LinkedIn prospecting. Lemlist is stronger if cold email is at the core of your outreach. La Growth Machine was built multichannel from the start, which makes it appealing if you want to run LinkedIn and email together without moving up to Waalaxy's most expensive plan. Choose based on the channel that drives your acquisition, not on which name you've heard most.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, there's a limited free plan, a leftover from Waalaxy's original freemium model, with a reduced invitation quota. It lets you try out how the tool works, but the volume is too low for serious prospecting. Every paid plan also comes with a 14-day free trial, which is a better way to properly evaluate the tool before paying.
