Linked Helper vs Dripify: the veteran and the sequencer

Pricing, verbatim from both pricing pages (September 2026)

1. 1

   Linked Helper. Local-storage version: Standard $15 a month, Pro $45 a month, falling to $8.25 and $24.75 a month on a 12-month term. Cloud-storage version: Standard $29.90, Pro $59.90, falling to $16.50 and $33 on 12 months. One licence is one LinkedIn account, and the page notes local tax may apply.

2. 2

   Dripify. Basic $59 per user per month, or $39 billed annually; Pro $79, or $59 annually; Advanced $99, or $79 annually.

3. 3

   The gap. On annual terms Linked Helper Standard costs $8.25 a month against Dripify Basic at $39: Dripify is 4.7 times the price for one seat. Our arithmetic from the two published prices.

What the price difference buys

1. 1

   Somewhere to run. Linked Helper runs on your machine or a VPS you rent, so the computer has to stay on and the session has to stay clean. Dripify runs in its cloud with a dedicated IP, and you close the laptop.

2. 2

   A sequencer, not a toolbox. Linked Helper is a set of actions you chain by hand; it will do almost anything, including things that get accounts restricted. Dripify is opinionated: drip campaigns with delays and conditions, and a tidier learning curve.

3. 3

   Data you have to move. Linked Helper's CSV exports carry quirks we know well: delimiter drift and a direction bug in the last_received_message_text column. Anyone leaving it needs an importer that handles both, which is what LinkedBoost's Linked Helper migration does in one upload.

Who should stay on Linked Helper

If you run one seat, enjoy configuring campaigns by hand, and $15 a month matters, stay. It has survived a decade for real reasons and nothing at its price does as much. The walls appear at several seats: the contacted universe lives in separate exports, suppression is a manual CSV job, and every restriction is on you because nothing is enforced.

Where Dripify wins, and where LinkedBoost does

Dripify wins on convenience: cloud, clean UX, fair price, a 4.6 Trustpilot score. It does not enforce limits, does not publish a restriction rate, and still expects you to build every list and every step. LinkedBoost is for the operator who already works with Claude: the agent sources at send time, researches each prospect, drafts in your voice and queues; caps of 20 a day and 80 a week are enforced where the agent cannot raise them; every seat's contacted universe is live state with cross-seat suppression; and the ban rate is published as restrictions per managed seat per rolling 90 days. The Linked Helper importer is built in. If you do not use an AI agent day to day, Dripify is the more natural next step from Linked Helper.
