What it costs for one, five and twenty five LinkedIn accounts
On seat price Skylead is lower. A Skylead seat connects one LinkedIn account and adds email sending, and a Sellinger LinkedIn agent also writes the messages and answers the replies. Skylead's AI SDR is extra: AI features are charged in credits, $1 per 100 credits on its compare page.
All prices are monthly list prices in US dollars. Skylead's two pages disagree on the Agency plan, 25 seats or 50, so the last row uses the lower count.
| LinkedIn accounts | Skylead | Sellinger LinkedIn agent |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $100 (All-in-one) | $198 |
| 5 | $500 (5 seats at $100) | $890 (5 agents at $178) |
| 25 | $999 (Agency plan, 25 seats) | $4,200 (25 agents at $168) |
Who answers, and in which mode
Skylead's AI SDR has two modes. Automatic replies on its own and Semi-Automatic prepares an answer for a person to approve. It is trained from a knowledge base and feedback sets. The help article does not say which channels it covers.
Sellinger's agent answers replies as part of the agent, with an optional approval step before anything sends. It stops and hands over when it cannot answer, for example when it has no price to quote.
Proxy and warm up against hosted login and limits
Skylead runs campaigns in the cloud through a proxy from your original login country, and puts each new account through a three week warm up. Its Account Health settings let you cap pending invites and pause weekend activity.
Sellinger connects your account through a hosted login and stores no password. Defaults are 20 invitations a day and 150 a week, with a quiet window at night. No tool can guarantee that LinkedIn will not restrict an account.
Switching between Skylead and Sellinger
Skylead seats are tied to one LinkedIn sender account each, so plan the move around accounts.
- Connect a LinkedIn account in Sellinger that Skylead does not use.
- Export the people you still want to reach from Skylead and import them into Sellinger, or search its database.
- State your offer once, review the first messages the agent drafts and start with a small batch.
- After a few weeks compare replies and booked meetings per LinkedIn account, and only then move a seat.
- Skylead limits are shared across active campaigns, so pause a sequence there before the same people are contacted from Sellinger.
- We have not checked what Skylead exports, so keep your own copy of lists and templates.
