CampaignStack vs Waalaxy, compared for agencies
Waalaxy has probably taken more people from zero to a running LinkedIn campaign than any tool on this list: a free plan with no time limit, a Chrome extension that pulls prospects straight out of a LinkedIn search, 99+ prebuilt sequences, and the lowest paid entry price here at 19 euros a month. The gaps show up after launch: the AI layer is a waitlist as of August 2026, messages ship without any quality check, and nothing decides who deserves the outreach in the first place. Here is the honest side-by-side.
You are one operator, or a small team, running your own accounts and you want the cheapest credible start. The free plan lets you test the mechanics before paying anything, which almost nobody else in this category will let you do, Pro is 19 euros per user monthly for 300 invitations a month, and its extension turns any LinkedIn, Sales Navigator or Recruiter Lite search into a prospect list in one click. On Advanced and Business the campaigns run from Waalaxy's cloud with your laptop closed.
You need what runs before and after the sequence: ICP scoring and live signals choosing who gets contacted, AI drafts that exist today and pass a critic before anything reaches a prospect, a review queue for the doubtful ones, per-workspace client separation, and an MCP API so an AI agent can operate the platform instead of a person clicking through each account.
What each tool actually does
Capabilities as documented by each vendor, checked August 2026. Waalaxy's prices are in euros, per user, where one user means one LinkedIn account.
| Capability | Waalaxy | CampaignStack |
|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn outreach | Sequences with automated follow-ups; 300 invitations a month on Pro, 800 on Advanced and Business | Connection requests, messages, InMail and engagement through a persistent cloud browser per account |
| Prospect sourcing from LinkedIn | The extension imports any LinkedIn, Sales Navigator or Recruiter Lite search, plus post reactions and group members | Searches, post engagement, group and event members land in a shared lead database and get scored before any outreach |
| Native email sending | Cold email sequences on the Business tier only; the email finder runs on Dropcontact with 25 to 500 credits a month by plan | Gmail sending with its own daily budgets and warm-up, inside the same workflow graph |
| LinkedIn session handling | The extension rides your live browser session; on Advanced and Business the account runs from Waalaxy's cloud, on the free plan your computer and a LinkedIn tab must stay open | Session cookie is consumed into an encrypted browser profile on our server and never stored in the database; optional recovery credentials are opt-in and encrypted |
| Account safety limits | Monthly invitation quotas and human-like delays; the 800-a-month allowance on Advanced sits above LinkedIn's roughly 100-a-week practical cap, and no warm-up curve is published | Per-action-type daily budgets, usage-based warm-up, weekly caps, business-hours pacing, automatic risk pause |
| AI-drafted messages | Waalaxy AI (prospect finder, message writer, conversation manager) is a waitlist as of August 2026; its own page says it will be released within the coming months | Openers, follow-ups and inbound replies drafted against your playbook and the lead's live context, shipping today |
| Quality control on AI drafts | No quality loop exists | A critic reads every draft against its full brief and objects; drafts that keep failing are flagged for a human |
| Human review queue | Sequences run once launched; the Inbox add-on manages conversations after the fact, it does not gate what goes out | A persistent, skippable queue where you approve, edit, retry or reject, and approving resumes the withheld action |
| Buying signals | Intent-based import at sourcing time (post reactions, group membership); no standing detector for job changes, funding or headcount | Job changes, title changes, post engagement, funding and headcount changes feed campaign scoring |
| ICP scoring | None | Every lead is scored against every campaign's ICP; the score decides campaign membership |
| API and AI agents | API access plus Make, Zapier and n8n modules from the Advanced tier; nothing an AI agent can drive natively | MCP server with over 300 tools; an AI agent can operate the entire platform |
| Cross-client operations | One subscription can hold client accounts, with one-click access to each and duplicate prevention; every member must be on the same plan, billed per user | Client workspaces over one shared lead database, with per-workspace exclusion lists every consumer honors |
| Pricing model | Free plan with no time limit; 19 to 69 euros per user monthly, one user per LinkedIn account, with advertised discounts of 20% quarterly and 50% yearly | $299/mo per client workspace ($249 annual), 25,000 credits included; LinkedIn accounts and team members are unlimited |
Where Waalaxy is genuinely strong
Waalaxy owns the on-ramp. The free plan has no time limit, which is close to unique in this category, and the paid ladder starts at 19 euros, the lowest entry price on this list. The Chrome extension is a genuinely good sourcing tool: any LinkedIn, Sales Navigator or Recruiter Lite search becomes a prospect list in one click, and so do the people who reacted to a post or sit in a group. Add 99+ prebuilt sequences and a first campaign is live in under an hour. On Advanced and Business the execution moved to Waalaxy's cloud, so the old keep-your-laptop-open constraint now only applies to the free plan.
The email finder deserves its own mention: it runs on Dropcontact, a respected French enrichment provider, and Waalaxy publishes a 61%+ match-rate claim on its own site. For a solo founder or a first SDR proving that LinkedIn outreach works at all, this package is very hard to beat on price.
Their AI is a waitlist. Ours ships.
Waalaxy's AI page describes three agents, a prospect finder, a message writer and a conversation manager that replies end to end and books the meeting. It also says, in its own words, that Waalaxy AI will be released within the coming months, behind a waiting list. The homepage marks the assistant the same way: soon. None of it can be evaluated today, so this page scores what exists, and what exists is template sequences with merge fields you write yourself.
CampaignStack's equivalent layer is in production: openers, follow-ups and inbound replies drafted against your playbook and the lead's live signals, a critic that reads every draft against its full brief and objects before anything ships, and a review queue that holds the doubtful ones for a human. When Waalaxy's agents arrive we will compare them properly. Until then, one side of this comparison is a roadmap.
Quotas, seats and what scale costs
Waalaxy's safety model is a monthly quota: 300 invitations on Pro, 800 on Advanced and Business. LinkedIn's practical ceiling is around 100 invitations a week, so the Advanced allowance sits nearly double the platform's own cap, and how those invitations spread across days, warm up a fresh account, or stop after a warning is not published. CampaignStack treats the limits as the product: per-action-type daily budgets that warm up with real usage, weekly caps below LinkedIn's ceiling, business-hours pacing, and an automatic pause when an account shows risk signals.
The billing units also diverge as you grow. Waalaxy is priced per user, where one user is one LinkedIn account, and its team plan requires every member to be on the same subscription. Ten client accounts on Business is ten times 69 euros a month at the monthly rate. CampaignStack is priced per client workspace: $299 a month with unlimited LinkedIn accounts and team members inside it, so the two models cross a few accounts in and keep diverging from there.
CampaignStack vs Waalaxy: common questions
Is Waalaxy cheaper than CampaignStack?
For one or two accounts, clearly yes: Waalaxy runs 19 to 69 euros per user monthly and has a free plan, against $299 per workspace here. The lines cross as accounts accumulate, because Waalaxy bills per user (one LinkedIn account each) and CampaignStack bills per client workspace with unlimited accounts inside. At the Business monthly rate of 69 euros, four to five accounts land in the same range as one workspace, before the exchange rate and before whatever you pay separately for signals, scoring and drafting. On Waalaxy's advertised 50% yearly discount the crossover moves further out, around eight to nine accounts.
Does Waalaxy have AI features?
Not yet shipped, as of August 2026. Waalaxy's own AI page describes a prospect finder, a message writer and a conversation manager, states they will be released within the coming months, and puts sign-ups on a waiting list. What exists today is prebuilt sequence templates with merge fields. CampaignStack's AI drafting, critic loop and review queue are in production.
Is Waalaxy really free?
Yes, with real limits. Waalaxy's free plan has no time limit and allows roughly 80 invitations a month, capped at 3 actions per day per action type. It does not include cloud execution, so your computer must stay on with a LinkedIn tab open for actions to send, and the email finder and inbox features sit on paid tiers or add-ons. It is a genuine way to test the mechanics before paying.
Can I migrate from Waalaxy to CampaignStack?
Yes. Waalaxy has full CSV export with history, and CampaignStack imports CSVs directly; LinkedIn accounts re-onboard with a session cookie in about two minutes each. Sequences rebuild as workflows, and the templates cover the common LinkedIn plus email shapes. What does not transfer is conversation history inside Waalaxy's Inbox add-on, so keep that account open until active threads wind down.
