Linked Helper vs LinkedBoost: the desktop veteran vs the agent desk

We ran five Linked Helper seats for years, so this comparison is written from receipts, not marketing. LH remains the cheapest serious automation ever shipped. It also left us with duplicate invites from stale CSV suppression, reply counts overstated seven times by a direction-ambiguous field, and a laptop that could never sleep.

Where the two genuinely differ

  1. 1

    Where it runs. LH runs on your computer or a VPS you now administer. LinkedBoost is managed cloud; campaigns do not stop when the laptop sleeps.

  2. 2

    What the limits mean. LH's limit counters are numbers you typed; it will queue 150 invites a day if you ask. LinkedBoost enforces 20/day and 80/week server-side with warm-up ramps.

  3. 3

    What the data means. LH's reply field holds the last message regardless of direction; read naively it overstated our replies by 7x. LinkedBoost tracks queued, sent, accepted, and replied as separate honest states.

  4. 4

    Switching cost. One file. Export your LH contacts as usual, import the CSV, and we rebuild your suppression list so nobody gets double-invited on day one. We handle LH's delimiter drift automatically because we lived it.

The honest verdict

One seat, hand-configured campaigns, a desktop that never sleeps, and $15/month: LH remains rational, and its decade of features is real. The moment you run multiple seats or care about honest funnel data, you have outgrown it. That moment is when we switched too.
