Linked Helper costs $15 a month for one LinkedIn account, and a twelve-month licence brings that down to $8.25 a month. Of the ten tools on our comparison page, only a Chrome extension costs less.
Linked Helper is a desktop application. It runs on your computer, stores the data it collects in a local database, and stops when the computer stops.
The short version
Choose Linked Helper if you run one or two LinkedIn accounts, you do not mind leaving a computer switched on, and price is the thing you are optimising for.
Consider something else if you need campaigns to keep running while your laptop is closed, or you manage accounts for several clients and do not want to administer a server to do it.
We build Doreach, which competes with Linked Helper. Every price and limit below was checked against Linked Helper’s own pricing page and support centre on 2 September 2026.
Linked Helper is a desktop app, not a Chrome extension
Most people typing “LinkedIn Helper” into Google are looking for Linked Helper 2, the desktop outreach app from Linked Helper LLC. Other Chrome extensions use similar names, so check the publisher before installing one.
What Linked Helper does
Linked Helper sends connection requests, message sequences, InMails and profile views. It builds lists from LinkedIn search, Sales Navigator, group members, event attendees and CSV import. It has a built-in CRM with tagging and notes, and it watches for replies so a sequence stops when someone answers.
Linked Helper also sells AI features: written messages, generated comments and detection of your ideal customer profile. Every licence includes a package of AI credits for those, and the size of the package depends on the licence term.
The company says it has operated for ten years and serves more than 500,000 users. It describes itself as a desktop app rather than a Chrome extension, and says nothing is injected into the LinkedIn page. Its support centre says the features are the same on Windows, Ubuntu and macOS.
Pricing
Linked Helper sells two licence types, Standard and Pro. The prices below are for the version that stores your data on your own computer. Linked Helper also sells a version that keeps your data on its servers. It costs more and does not move the app off your computer. When checked on 30 September 2026, the pricing page’s calculator offered only local storage and showed no price for the cloud version.
| Licence | 1 month | 3 months | 6 months | 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard, local storage | $15.00 | $13.33 | $10.00 | $8.25 |
| Pro, local storage | $45.00 | $40.00 | $30.00 | $24.75 |
Every figure is the effective cost per month. A twelve-month Standard licence is billed as $99 in one payment, and Pro as $297.
One licence covers one LinkedIn account at a time. You can move a licence to a different account whenever you want, and install it on a different computer, but you cannot run it on two machines at once.
Bulk discounts start at ten licences: 10% for 10 to 19, 20% for 20 to 49, and up to 50% at a thousand or more. The length discount and the bulk discount stack.
Each licence also carries data credits, which the email finder and full profile scraping spend. Standard includes 620 a month and Pro includes 3,100, and there is no daily cap on how fast you use them. More credits cost $15 for a thousand, less in larger packages.
The 14-day trial includes Standard and Pro features. Both paid plans use the same recommended limit of 150 total actions per rolling 24 hours.
Choose whether the licence renews
Linked Helper’s support pages give two different descriptions of renewal. Its purchase guide says you can buy a fixed-term licence without auto-renewal or create a subscription. Its licensing page says there is no auto-billing. Check the Auto-renewal option when you pay rather than assuming which rule applies.
The manual option suits a recruiter hired for a three-month project. You can buy three months and let the licence end without cancelling a subscription.
If you run outreach throughout the year, check whether you enabled auto-renewal. A campaign needs a valid licence, although Linked Helper can assign another unused licence from your account when the current one ends.
What we would not do
Check the renewal setting before you buy a Linked Helper licence for a client account. If you choose manual renewal, record the expiry date where the account owner will see it.
What the 20-a-day cap on Standard covers
Several review sites say a Standard licence limits you to 20 connection requests and 20 messages a day. Linked Helper’s own comparison table says otherwise, and the difference decides whether $15 a month is a serious option.
Standard’s 20-action plan limit does not apply to connection requests. It also does not apply to message follow-ups, reply detection, InMails, campaign count or CSV exports of people profiles.
| Capped at 20 per 24 hours on Standard | Not subject to Standard’s 20-action cap |
|---|---|
| Likes and comments on posts | Connection requests |
| Messages to group members | Message follow-ups and sequences |
| Messages to event attendees | InMails |
| Messages with attached images | Reply detection |
| Sending a person to a CRM or a webhook | Unlimited campaigns |
| Invites to a group, an event, or to follow a company | CSV export of people profiles |
Two features are held back rather than capped: exporting your messaging history to CSV, and sending messaging history to a webhook. Both need Pro.
Standard does not apply its 20-action plan limit to connection requests, InMails or message sequences. Linked Helper still applies a separate overall limit, which defaults to 150 actions per rolling 24 hours.
Keeping it running costs more than the licence
The work happens on your computer. Linked Helper’s support centre puts it plainly: Linked Helper 2 works locally on your PC, and the data it collects is stored in a local database.
You can leave a computer on while campaigns run, or rent a server and run Linked Helper there instead.
Linked Helper documents the second route in its support centre. It provides separate installation guides for Windows Server and Ubuntu. The requirements are specific: at least 2 GB of RAM and half a processor core for each LinkedIn account. Its examples suggest two virtual cores and 4 GB for one account, and four virtual cores and 12 GB for three.
Linked Helper’s hardware requirements affect the total cost. Ten accounts need ten licences and a computer or server powerful enough to run all ten. Someone must also maintain the server. On Ubuntu, Linked Helper says updates require a password, so someone has to approve them.
The $8.25 licence price does not include the server or the time needed to maintain it.
Running several accounts in Doreach
In Doreach, you connect and manage each LinkedIn profile from the Accounts page. Open Limits to see four weekly numbers: 80 connection requests, 100 messages, 150 profile views and 25 InMails. Each one is editable per account, and the limits and pacing page holds the current defaults.
Attach several accounts to one campaign and Doreach divides the prospects between them, with each account staying inside its own weekly allowance. Using several accounts increases total campaign capacity without raising one account’s limits. Each account still needs suitable limits, targeting and message copy, and LinkedIn automation remains a risk. The running multiple accounts page explains the setup.
Doreach separates actions on the same account by five to thirty minutes. Campaigns run only during their sending window, in your team’s timezone. The pacing gap is not adjustable. Safety and pacing explains the available limits and pacing controls.
Doreach runs in the cloud, so there is no computer to leave on and no server to size. Adding another connected account changes the bill without adding hardware for you to maintain.
Where it falls short
Linked Helper needs a running computer or server. Closing your laptop pauses its campaigns unless you run the app on another machine.
The renewal instructions conflict. The purchase guide offers auto-renewal, while the licensing page says there is no auto-billing. Confirm the setting when you pay.
Messaging history is stuck on Standard. You cannot export it to CSV or push it to a webhook without moving to Pro at $45 a month against $15.
Growing requires more hardware. Linked Helper requires more RAM and processor capacity as you add accounts. You must include that hardware in your cost calculation.
Verdict
Linked Helper is the lowest-priced full outreach tool on our comparison page. Standard’s 20-action plan limit applies to engagement and data-transfer actions rather than connection requests and message sequences. A separate overall limit defaults to 150 actions per rolling 24 hours.
Linked Helper requires more maintenance as you add accounts. You must keep a computer running or maintain a server, monitor its capacity and confirm how each licence will renew.
Doreach costs $36 per connected LinkedIn account per month on annual billing, or $45 monthly. That is more per account than a Linked Helper Pro licence at $24.75. Doreach runs in the cloud, includes unlimited free team members and gives every account the same features. Current numbers are on pricing, and the comparison page shows how the rest of the category charges.
Doreach also does not do several things Linked Helper does. There is no AI message generation, email finder, data credits or post engagement automation. Choose Linked Helper if you need those features.
If you are deciding this week, work out the full monthly cost: the licence, the server if you need one, and the time someone spends maintaining it. Then compare that with paying per connected account. To compare this with a cloud-based setup, connect one account during Doreach’s seven-day trial and review its limits before launching a campaign.
