What is Closely?

Closely is a LinkedIn automation tool that lets you automate prospecting sequences: invitation, first message, follow-ups. The platform also integrates an AI writing feature to personalize messages at scale from profile data. For teams doing B2B cold outreach on LinkedIn, Closely offers a more structured workflow than basic alternatives. The inherent risk of any LinkedIn automation remains: accounts that are too aggressive can be suspended by LinkedIn.

Strengths

Automated multi-step sequences

Invitation + follow-up messages in a single configured sequence. Significant time savings for outbound teams.

AI message personalization

AI generates personalized messages based on LinkedIn profile data. Better response rate than a generic message.

Accessible interface

Closely is easier to get started with than some more technical alternatives.

Limits

LinkedIn suspension risk

Any LinkedIn automation technically violates LinkedIn's ToS. The risk of account suspension remains real with any tool of this type.

Less established than Waalaxy or Lemlist

Closely has less notoriety and user feedback than segment leaders like Waalaxy or Lemlist.

Pricing

Freemium available. Paid plan starting at $49/month. Check closelyhq.com for current pricing.

Alternatives

Closely = LinkedIn automation. Alternative Waalaxy (waalaxy.com) = €112/month, French leader. Alternative Lemlist (lemlist.com) = €39/month, multichannel. Alternative PhantomBuster (phantombuster.com) = €69/month, more technical.

Verdict

Closely is functional for teams that want to scale their LinkedIn prospecting. But evaluate Waalaxy or Lemlist first, which have more field feedback and more mature products.

FAQ
