Cold GTM
The short answer
Expandi is cloud based with a dedicated IP per account, at about $99 per LinkedIn account a month. Its strength is dedicated IP, gradual warm up and smart sequences that branch on accept or reply.
Skylead is cloud based, LinkedIn and email in one sequence, at about $100 a month per seat. Its strength is conditional smart sequences that change path on what each person did. Both are tools you run yourself, so the work of building lists, writing copy and answering replies stays with you either way.

Which one fits you
Price is close enough between these two that it should not decide it. Expandi is the better fit when you want protecting a high value account while running steady volume. Skylead wins when the priority is an operator who wants to build multichannel logic themselves.
Whichever you choose, the subscription is the small number. The daily hours of list building, vetting, writing and reply handling are the real cost of running outreach yourself.
What neither tool changes
Both send inside the same LinkedIn ceiling: roughly 100 invitations a week on a rolling seven day window, and about 20 to 25 a day before throttling starts. A tool cannot buy you more room than the platform allows.
Both also send to whoever your search filter returns, and a filter can only approximate a buyer. That is the part software cannot fix, because it needs judgement rather than throughput.
If you would rather not run either
There is a version of this where you do not operate the software at all. Cold GTM runs LinkedIn appointment setting as a service: a person sends every connection request by hand, checks every lead against your profile first, keeps the campaign in a separate Sales Navigator inbox, and answers every positive reply the same business day.
You get the conversations and the calendar instead of the dashboard. See Expandi vs Cold GTM for that comparison directly.
Common questions
Is Expandi or Skylead better?
Neither is better outright. Expandi suits protecting a high value account while running steady volume. Skylead suits an operator who wants to build multichannel logic themselves. Both leave list building, copy and reply handling with you.
How much do Expandi and Skylead cost?
Expandi is about $99 per LinkedIn account a month. Skylead is about $100 a month per seat. Both figures were checked in August 2026, and Sales Navigator is billed separately on top of either.
Do these tools raise LinkedIn sending limits?
No. LinkedIn caps invitations at roughly 100 a week on a rolling window regardless of which tool sends them. Tools schedule inside that ceiling, they do not raise it.
Who is Cold GTM for?
B2B teams that want LinkedIn appointment setting run by people rather than software. A person sends every connection request by hand, checks every lead against your profile first, keeps outreach in a separate Sales Navigator inbox, and answers every positive reply the same business day.
Does Cold GTM send fewer messages than other agencies?
No. We run the same activity levels as the rest of this market. What changes is who is on the list, because a person checks every profile before a request goes out, and what happens after someone replies.
What does Cold GTM cost?
Pricing is set per engagement on the strategy call, with vetting, reply handling and booking included rather than sold as upgrades, and nothing charged per appointment.
