Quick answer

Pick HeyReach when you need multi-sender LinkedIn outreach, workspaces, inbox management, Clay-style GTM integrations, API/webhooks, or agency controls. Pick Sonarly when the work should start earlier: source the right LinkedIn signals, create campaign logic, draft the message, and keep quality control in the sender's voice.

Why teams compare HeyReach

HeyReach and Sonarly both serve LinkedIn outbound, but the workflow order is different. HeyReach helps teams run campaigns across many senders and systems. Sonarly helps identify the timing signal, create the campaign logic, and prepare the message from that signal.

Pricing and entry

HeyReach pricing is organized around sender count, from a one-sender Growth setup to larger Agency and Unlimited plans. That model fits teams where sender capacity, workspaces, permissions, and client separation are part of the job. Sonarly starts at €59/user/month for teams validating a signal-led motion before adding sender-scale operations.

Operating model

HeyReach is a strong fit when the operating problem is orchestration: rotate senders, keep each sender within safe levels, split lists, manage a unified inbox, tag replies, and push outcomes through integrations. Sonarly keeps the workflow closer to the signal, campaign idea, message draft, and approval controls.

Signal fit

HeyReach can use imported or integrated lead sources and then execute campaigns across senders. Sonarly is strongest when the system should source the LinkedIn signal first and use that signal to shape the campaign and message.

Inside HeyReach's product

Outreach model

HeyReach automates LinkedIn actions such as connection requests, messages, follows, profile visits, and campaign steps across connected senders, with conditions for connection status.

Channels and data

The product emphasizes LinkedIn sender orchestration, a unified inbox, email credits, native Instantly and Smartlead integrations, CRM/webhook/API integrations, MCP, and agency workspaces.

Team workflow

The workflow fits campaign operators managing sender capacity, safe usage levels, reply routing, client workspaces, and campaign scale.

Inside Sonarly's product

Solo and founder workflow

Sonarly is built for the person closest to the offer: a founder, owner, or small team operator who wants outbound leverage without first building an agency-style sender operation. The workflow starts from ICP and signal fit, not workspace administration.

One voice before many senders

HeyReach is valuable when many sender accounts need to coordinate safely. Sonarly is stronger when the priority is one credible voice, clear positioning, and messages drafted from live prospect context before adding more throughput.

Signal quality before sender capacity

Instead of optimizing for how many senders can run the same campaign, Sonarly optimizes the reason each prospect enters a campaign. That matters most when the company is still learning which signals create conversations.

Light operating surface

Sonarly keeps the workflow around signals, campaign logic, drafts, approvals, and replies. There is less agency infrastructure to manage because the target user is usually not running client workspaces or many rep accounts.

Where they diverge in practice

Agency orchestration vs founder execution

HeyReach is strong when the operational job is agency or GTM orchestration: many senders, many campaigns, many inboxes, and multiple stakeholders. Sonarly is better when one founder or owner wants the prospecting motion automated without agency infrastructure.

Many sender accounts vs one strong voice

HeyReach helps distribute outreach across sender accounts. Sonarly helps make the message from one sender sharper by sourcing the signal, preparing the campaign logic, and drafting from that context.

GTM team operations vs owner-led learning

HeyReach fits agencies, SDR teams, and GTM operators. Sonarly fits founders and owners who need to learn which prospect signals and messages work before scaling headcount or sender volume.
