The short answer: if email has to reach the people who never accept your LinkedIn invitation, La Growth Machine's Basic plan does it for €60 per identity a month, less than the €69 Waalaxy charges for Business, its first plan with cold email sequences; if LinkedIn alone is the job and 300 invitations a month cover it, Waalaxy Pro at €19 costs under a third of that (monthly billing in euros, La Growth Machine pricing and Waalaxy pricing, checked on 26 October 2026; the product data on Waalaxy's page lists $19, $39 and $69 for dollar buyers). Choose La Growth Machine if your job is a LinkedIn sequence with an email route for the silent part of the list. Choose Waalaxy if your job is getting one founder's LinkedIn outreach running cheaply from a ready-made model.

Both vendors sell timing that looks human, and LinkedIn's rule is not about timing. Waalaxy's homepage promises timing that stays within LinkedIn's limits; La Growth Machine's pricing page says it is built for stealth, fully cloud-based with no detectable extensions, on dedicated 5G mobile proxies. LinkedIn's prohibited software page does not permit third-party software that automates activity on its site, says members who use it risk a restricted or closed account, and says LinkedIn keeps improving its defences against such tools. A tool built not to be noticed is still on that list. The free way inside the rules, with an assistant drafting and the profile owner sending by hand, is in LinkedIn outreach with AI drafts. Both tools also import LinkedIn profiles and attach email addresses to them, which puts personal data in your hands; the duties that follow are in the GDPR section of Apollo.io vs ZoomInfo.
Price the job, not the plan:
- Two founders, two jobs. For example, two founders who want email after LinkedIn pay 2 x €60 = €120 a month on La Growth Machine Basic, or 2 x €69 = €138 on Waalaxy Business. For LinkedIn alone, Waalaxy Pro is 2 x €19 = €38. Figures from the La Growth Machine and Waalaxy pricing pages, monthly billing.
- The CRM you already run. Waalaxy's pricing page lists CRM synchronisation on Pro, and its homepage names native HubSpot and Pipedrive connections. La Growth Machine's native HubSpot sync needs its Ultimate plan, €180 per identity a month on the pricing page, per its HubSpot article, with Zapier, Make and the API from Pro.
- The invitations nobody answered. Count last month's invitations still pending after two weeks. That pile is what an email fallback is for. If it is small, the €19 plan covers you; if it is most of the list, the email route earns its price.
Which plan each job needs
| The job | Waalaxy, euro page | La Growth Machine |
|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn invitations and messages | Pro, €19, 300 invitations a month | Basic, €60 per identity |
| Email after LinkedIn | Business, €69, with 500 email finder credits | Basic, €60, one sending address per identity |
| Your own sequence logic | Not offered: ready-made models only | Pro lists a custom workflow at €120 |
| Leads from post likers, commenters, event attendees | Post reactions, groups and events as sources | Pro, €120 |
| Calls in the sequence | Not listed | Pro, €120 |
| Native HubSpot sync | CRM sync listed from Pro | Ultimate, €180 |
| AI connector | Advanced, €49, or Business | Every plan, the trial included |

The person who never accepts
This is where the two part ways. La Growth Machine puts LinkedIn and email on every plan, so a sequence can switch channel when an invitation sits unanswered; the how-to on that fallback walks through its LinkedIn-then-email template.
Waalaxy handles the same person differently below Business. In the model its sequence article calls Ganymede, a prospect who has not accepted within 10 days moves to the Email Finder step; if an address turns up, Waalaxy sends the details to your CRM and the prospect leaves the campaign. The email itself is then yours to send, from another tool, unless you pay for Business.
Who writes the flow
Waalaxy hands you the flow. Its homepage counts 99+ ready-made sequences, and its sequence article is plain that you can neither add an action to a model nor build one from scratch. For a founder new to LinkedIn outreach, that removes a week of decisions.
La Growth Machine lets you write it, though its own page gives two answers on where that starts. You are not misreading the pricing page: the Pro card lists a custom workflow, while the FAQ further down puts the drag-and-drop sequence builder on Ultimate, and the free trial leaves custom sequences out altogether. Ask which plan your sequence needs before you pay for one.
Prices by billing period
La Growth Machine bills per identity, one profile automating LinkedIn and email, and discounts the longer you commit: Basic is €60 a month on monthly billing, €57 quarterly, €55 semi-annually and €50 on annual billing; Pro is €120 monthly or €100 annually; Ultimate €180 or €150. Basic stops at three identities. All read on the pricing page on 26 October 2026.
Waalaxy bills per user, one licence for one LinkedIn account. A browser in Europe was shown €19, €49 and €69 a month for Pro, Advanced and Business, while the page's own product data lists $19, $39 and $69 in US dollars, so Advanced costs more in euros than in dollars (pricing page, checked on 26 October 2026).
One agent step: the unanswered replies
La Growth Machine's MCP server is free on every plan and during the trial, with 50 tools, 26 of which act on the account, and by default the assistant asks before it acts, per its MCP article. One of the first prompts it suggests is to fetch every response not yet answered and propose a reply. Use it that way: the assistant drafts against each thread, the profile owner reads, edits and approves, and nothing goes out on the assistant's say-so.
Waalaxy's connector, on Advanced and Business, covers prospect lists, imports and campaigns rather than replies, per its MCP article, so the inbox stays a human job there.
Before either subscription
Start with the free route: two weeks of hand-sent invitations with assistant-drafted messages, logged as in point 3, from the LinkedIn outreach use case. It tells you whether the silent pile is big enough to pay for an email route. Then both trials run 14 days, La Growth Machine's without a card and on one identity.
Read Waalaxy's price page with its badge in mind. It marks Advanced as the most popular plan, and on the euro page that badge sits on €49, €30 above the Pro plan whose 300 invitations a month already cover one founder working one profile.
Choose La Growth Machine if
- Part of your list never accepts and should hear from you by email anyway.
- You want calls, intent lists from post engagement, or your own flow, from Pro.
- Your team wants an AI connector without paying a tier up for it.
Choose Waalaxy if
- One founder sends up to 300 invitations a month and wants a ready-made sequence.
- HubSpot or Pipedrive should sync without the top plan.
- The budget is €19 a month, or $19.

FAQ
Does La Growth Machine show prices in dollars?
The pricing page read on 26 October 2026 showed euros, with a currency label beside the billing toggle, and its sales line quotes Pro at "$110/MONTH (billed annualy)" against the €100 in the plan card (pricing page). Budget from the plan card.
Can Waalaxy Pro send emails?
It includes 25 email finder credits a month, per the pricing page, but cold email sequences start on Business.
How many LinkedIn profiles does one plan cover?
One each. A Waalaxy licence corresponds to one LinkedIn account (subscriptions article), and La Growth Machine bills one identity per automated profile, per its pricing page.
