Cold email never touches the main domain. Secondary domains, two or three mailboxes each, 20 to 30 emails a day per mailbox, after a 14 to 21 day warmup.

Closely's Starter plan costs $49/mo ($29/mo billed annually) and bundles LinkedIn warmup plus a dedicated residential IP on every tier, including the cheapest one. Dripify's Basic plan runs $59/mo ($39/mo annually) but caps you at one campaign and pushes its strongest LinkedIn protection to the $99/mo Advanced tier. For agencies running multiple client campaigns at once, that gap in what's included matters more than the sticker price.

How much do Closely and Dripify cost in 2026?

Closely runs three tiers: Starter at $49/mo ($29/mo billed annually), Growth at $127/mo ($87/mo annually), and Essential at $205/mo ($145/mo annually), per Closely's pricing page. Dripify runs four: Basic at $59/mo ($39/mo annually), Pro at $79/mo ($59/mo annually), Advanced at $99/mo ($79/mo annually), and a custom Enterprise tier, per Dripify's pricing page.

The prices look close until you check what's gated behind them. Closely's Starter tier doesn't include email finder, phone finder, or AI personalization - those start at Growth. So the real entry price for a fully-featured Closely seat is $87/mo annual, not $29/mo. Dripify's entry price is closer to what you actually get: Basic already includes 100 email finder credits and full drip sequencing, just with the one-campaign ceiling.

Does Closely or Dripify protect your LinkedIn account better?

Closely bundles LinkedIn warmup and a dedicated residential IP into every plan, starting at $29/mo annual. Dripify doesn't advertise built-in warmup at all and only calls out advanced LinkedIn protection on its $79/mo Advanced tier, per Dripify's pricing page. If you're running a client's LinkedIn account through cold outreach, that's not a small difference.

Most LinkedIn automation vendors treat account safety as an upsell. Closely doesn't. A restricted or flagged LinkedIn account mid-campaign isn't a discount, it's a re-sourcing cost: a new profile, a new warmup period, a client conversation you didn't want to have. If your team runs LinkedIn outreach for multiple clients at once, paying for baseline protection on every seat is worth more than saving $10-20/mo on a lower tier.

Which tool's campaign and credit limits will actually slow you down?

Dripify's Basic plan restricts you to one active drip campaign. Run outreach for two client segments or two ICPs at once and you're forced onto Pro at $79/mo ($59/mo annually) just to open a second campaign, per Dripify's pricing page. Closely doesn't cap campaigns by plan, but its email and phone finder credits do scale: 3,000 bonus credits on Growth, 5,000 on Essential, and none included on Starter.

  • Agencies running 3+ concurrent client campaigns will hit Dripify's Basic ceiling in week one.
  • Teams that need email and phone enrichment on top of LinkedIn outreach should budget for Closely Growth ($87/mo annual), not Starter.
  • Dripify's flat 100 credits/mo applies at every tier, including Enterprise, so heavy enrichment users will exhaust it fast regardless of plan.

Closely vs Dripify: which should you actually use?

The two tools solve different problems. Closely is built for teams that want safety and enrichment bundled together. Dripify is built for teams that want flexibility and don't mind buying protection separately.

  • Pick Closely if you're running LinkedIn outreach for multiple clients and want warmup and residential IP protection included from the first dollar, stepping up to Growth ($87/mo annual) once you need email and phone finding.
  • Pick Dripify if you're a single operator or small team that wants unlimited campaigns and HubSpot or webhook integration without navigating a five-tier pricing page, starting at Pro ($59/mo annual).

Neither tool replaces email infrastructure. LinkedIn automation gets you connection requests and DMs, not verified inboxes, warmed domains, or reply handling at scale. That's a separate build.

If you'd rather not manage LinkedIn automation settings and email infrastructure separately, that's the gap Modern Inbound closes: see how the setup engagement works. We've booked 3,000+ qualified B2B meetings running outbound this way.
