Two modern LinkedIn automation tools — one publicly marketed, one deliberately exclusive.
Waalaxy has become one of the fastest-growing LinkedIn automation tools, particularly in Europe. It's modern, well-designed, and pairs LinkedIn outreach with cold email in a single workflow. Ulinc is an invitation-only alternative with a narrower focus and a significantly lower public profile. Here's how they compare.
Waalaxy (formerly ProspectIn) is a cloud-based multi-channel outreach tool combining LinkedIn automation and email prospecting. Launched by the French startup Waalaxy SAS, it's grown rapidly and is particularly well-known in European sales and marketing communities. It offers a freemium plan, with paid tiers starting around $40/month. It's heavily marketed, featured prominently in LinkedIn automation tool roundups, and has a large public user community. Waalaxy runs as a Chrome extension for LinkedIn actions, synced with a cloud dashboard.
Ulinc is a cloud-based, invitation-only LinkedIn automation platform. No browser extension is required — campaigns run on remote infrastructure continuously. Access is controlled and invitation-based, maintaining a small user base that stays off LinkedIn's radar. Ulinc is focused purely on LinkedIn, without the multi-channel features Waalaxy includes.
| Feature | Ulinc | Waalaxy |
|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn connection automation | Yes | Yes |
| LinkedIn message sequences | Yes | Yes |
| Cold email integration | No | Yes |
| Cloud-based (no browser extension) | Yes | Partial — Chrome extension required |
| Sales Navigator support | Yes | Yes (paid) |
| Campaign analytics | Yes | Yes |
| CRM integrations | Selective | Yes (HubSpot, etc.) |
| Free plan available | No | Yes |
| Invitation-only access | Yes | No |
| Personalized support | Yes | No |
| Low LinkedIn detection profile | Yes | No — rapidly growing public user base |
Despite having a cloud dashboard, Waalaxy's LinkedIn automation relies on a Chrome extension for executing actions. This is the same fundamental limitation as Dux-Soup — LinkedIn can observe extension-based behavior directly in the browser environment. As Waalaxy's user base has grown, so has LinkedIn's familiarity with its patterns. Ulinc's fully cloud-based approach runs in an isolated environment, removing this exposure entirely.
Waalaxy has grown its user base aggressively and is now one of the most talked-about LinkedIn automation tools in Europe. That growth is a testament to its product quality — and a warning sign for account safety. A widely used tool is a well-profiled tool. Ulinc's deliberately limited user base is a protective moat that Waalaxy has consciously traded away in pursuit of scale.
Waalaxy's LinkedIn + email combination is genuinely useful if you're running coordinated outreach sequences across both channels. But for teams whose primary channel is LinkedIn, the email features add complexity without adding proportional value. Ulinc's laser focus on LinkedIn means every feature is optimized for that single channel.
Waalaxy is a good fit for sales teams in European markets who want a modern, well-designed tool combining LinkedIn and email outreach, don't mind the Chrome extension requirement, and want access to a freemium plan to evaluate before committing.
Ulinc is the better choice for professionals who prioritize LinkedIn account safety, want fully cloud-based automation without a browser extension, and are willing to go through the invite process to access a tool with a genuinely low detection profile.
Bottom line: Waalaxy is polished and growing fast — which is exactly what makes it riskier from an account safety perspective. Ulinc's exclusivity is its strongest feature. If account longevity matters, Ulinc is the smarter bet.
