Waalaxy is a French tool (based in Toulouse) for automating prospecting on LinkedIn and over email. You target prospects, you launch message sequences, and the tool chains together invitations, follow-ups, and emails on your behalf. Paid plans start at €19/month. Is it worth it? Yes, if 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 that automates sales prospecting on LinkedIn, with an email layer on top. The idea: you import a list of prospects (from a LinkedIn search, Sales Navigator, or a file), you pick a sequence, and the tool runs the actions on its own. Profile visit, connection request, follow-up message, reminder, and an email if the connection doesn't go through.
The company claims more than 200,000 users. It's one of the most widely used LinkedIn prospecting tools in the French-speaking ecosystem, partly because it's built to get started without any training. You don't need to be a growth hacker to launch your first campaign the same day.
The positioning is clear: Waalaxy targets founders, solo salespeople, and small teams who want to fill a pipeline without building a technical stack. If you're looking for a broader overview of what's on the market, we covered the options in our guide to B2B prospecting tools.
Key features (LinkedIn + email prospecting)
Waalaxy rests on three building blocks: sequence building, contact discovery, and an inbox that doubles as a lightweight CRM. Here's how each one works in practice.
Multichannel sequences (LinkedIn + email)
This is the heart of the tool. A sequence is a chain of conditional actions: visit the profile, send an invitation, wait X days, follow up, switch to an email if the person hasn't replied. Waalaxy provides ready-made sequences, so you don't start from a blank page.
LinkedIn + email multichannel isn't available everywhere: it's reserved for the Business plan. On the plans below it, you stay on pure LinkedIn. That's a distinction that matters when choosing your subscription, because the real strength of a modern prospecting tool is precisely not depending on a single channel.
Email Finder & enrichment
Waalaxy includes an email finder that retrieves a prospect's work address from their profile. The Business plan comes with 500 email finder credits, which lets you enrich your lists without going through a third-party tool. In practice, you start from a LinkedIn audience, the tool finds the emails, and you can layer an email sequence on top of your LinkedIn messages.
Worth noting: no email finder is ever 100% accurate. Some addresses will be missing or wrong. That's true of every tool on the market, not just Waalaxy.
Inbox & lightweight CRM
Waalaxy offers a dedicated inbox that centralizes your LinkedIn conversations and lets you track where each prospect stands. It isn't a full CRM, but it's enough for a small team that wants to avoid losing track across a hundred parallel conversations. To go further, the tool syncs with external CRMs, a feature available from the Pro plan.
If your team grows and you need serious sales management, you'll keep your main CRM and plug Waalaxy into it, rather than running everything from the inbox.
Waalaxy pricing 2026
Waalaxy runs on a monthly subscription, per user. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial. You can cut the bill by committing: -20% quarterly, -50% annually. The official, up-to-date rates are on Waalaxy's 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. It's the entry plan, enough for a founder testing LinkedIn prospecting.
- Advanced: €49/month. 800 invitations per month, API access, connection to Make, Zapier, and n8n, priority support. The plan for those who want to automate beyond the interface and wire Waalaxy into a broader workflow.
- Business: €69/month. 800 invitations per month, cold email, LinkedIn + email multichannel, 500 email finder credits. The only plan that unlocks true multichannel.
There's also a limited free plan, inherited from the tool's original freemium model, with a reduced invitation quota. It lets you test the mechanics, but the invitation volume is too low to carry serious prospecting. Think of it as a way in, not a plan to build on.
The thing to watch on pricing: LinkedIn + email multichannel only arrives with the Business plan at €69. If that's what you're after, don't sign up for the Pro plan expecting to get it.
Pros and cons (a founder's take)
Now that the features and pricing are on the table, here's the honest read. Waalaxy does well what it promises, but it carries the limits of its category. Don't pick it thinking it bends LinkedIn's rules: no tool does that for long.
What works
- Ease of use. You launch a campaign the day you sign up, with no training. That's probably the tool's single biggest strength.
- Ready-made sequences. You don't lose a week building your workflows from scratch.
- The French-speaking ecosystem. Support in French, documentation in French, a French community. For a founder based in France, that matters more than you'd think when you're stuck on a Friday night.
- The entry price. €19/month to get started is affordable for testing the LinkedIn channel without committing a big budget.
- The integrations. API, Make, Zapier, and n8n from the Advanced plan, which lets you plug the tool into a larger system.
The limits (LinkedIn quotas, deliverability)
- LinkedIn invitation quotas. LinkedIn caps the number of invitations an account can send, around a hundred a week depending on the account. Waalaxy respects these limits, and that's a good thing: pushing volume means risking a restriction or suspension of your account. Never buy a prospecting tool thinking it will let you blow past these caps without consequences.
- Email deliverability. The email side inherits the same constraints as every cold email tool: without a warmed-up, properly configured sending domain (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), your messages end up in spam. Waalaxy doesn't magically solve this problem, it's your responsibility on the infrastructure side.
- Multichannel locked to Business. If you want LinkedIn + email, you pay €69/month. On the lower plans, you're on LinkedIn alone.
- Dependence on LinkedIn. Like any tool in its category, Waalaxy runs on a platform it doesn't control. A change to LinkedIn's policy can affect your prospecting overnight.
Alternatives to Waalaxy
Waalaxy isn't alone on the market. Depending on your needs, other tools do better on certain fronts. Here are the main serious alternatives.
- Lemlist: a French tool built email-first, with a strong reputation for personalization and deliverability. Worth favoring if email is your main channel rather than LinkedIn. We wrote a full review of it.
- La Growth Machine: another French tool, designed multichannel (LinkedIn, email, Twitter) from the start. Often chosen by teams that want to orchestrate several channels within a single sequence without paying for the most expensive plan.
- LinkedHelper: older, less polished, but known to be powerful and economical for pure LinkedIn automation. For those who want control and a tight price, at the cost of a less smooth learning curve.
- Dripify: a LinkedIn-focused tool built around sequences and team dashboards. A direct competitor to Waalaxy on LinkedIn's turf.
The choice isn't about "which is best" in absolute terms, but about your dominant channel: LinkedIn alone, email alone, or true multichannel.
Who is Waalaxy 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 machine. You want to launch fast, you accept the platform's limits, and LinkedIn is your first channel: that's exactly its territory.
Waalaxy is a poorer choice if your prospecting relies mostly on high-volume cold email: there, a dedicated email tool will serve you better. Same goes if you already have a growth team with a custom stack: you'll probably want something more flexible and integrated.
The simple rule: Waalaxy amplifies LinkedIn prospecting you already know how to frame. It doesn't replace a strategy. If you don't have a clear message or a precise target, no automation tool will save your campaigns, it will just speed up the sending of bad messages.

FAQ
Is Waalaxy safe for my LinkedIn account?
Waalaxy is designed to respect the invitation quotas LinkedIn enforces, which limits the risk. No automation tool is officially approved by LinkedIn, so zero risk doesn't exist. The real danger comes from abuse: if you push volume past the caps, you expose your account to a restriction. 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 for LinkedIn prospecting. Lemlist is stronger if cold email is at the core of what you do. La Growth Machine is built multichannel from the start, appealing if you want to orchestrate LinkedIn and email together without stepping up to Waalaxy's most expensive plan. Choose based on the channel that drives your acquisition, not the best-known name.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, there's a limited free plan, inherited from Waalaxy's original freemium model, with a reduced invitation quota. It lets you test the tool's mechanics, but the volume is too low for serious prospecting. Each paid plan also comes with a 14-day free trial, which is more useful for genuinely evaluating the tool before paying.
