Closely vs Waalaxy 2026: Pricing, Warmup, and Limits Compared

Closely charges $49 to $205 a month per LinkedIn account and bundles account warmup into every plan, including the cheapest one. Waalaxy charges €19 to €69 per user and caps LinkedIn invites by tier, with no warmup or deliverability feature listed anywhere on its pricing page. If you plan to run cold email alongside LinkedIn, that gap in built-in infrastructure matters more than the sticker price.

Quick answer: Closely bundles LinkedIn warmup, residential IPs, and an email/phone finder into one flat per-account price starting at $49/mo. Waalaxy prices per user starting at €19/mo, caps LinkedIn invites tightly on its cheapest tier, and doesn't mention warmup at all, so you'd need a separate tool if you're sending cold email through it.

How does Closely pricing compare to Waalaxy pricing in 2026?

Closely prices per LinkedIn account, not per user, and throws in unlimited email accounts and unlimited team seats at every tier starting at $49/mo. Waalaxy prices per user, so a 3-person team on the €69/user Business plan pays roughly €207/mo before a single email credit gets used, which lands at or above Closely's $127 Growth plan depending on the exchange rate that week. Per-seat pricing punishes you exactly when you're scaling an SDR team, which is the moment you actually need the tool most.

Which tool finds and verifies more email addresses?

Closely's email finder with multi-step verification only unlocks on the Growth plan ($127/mo) and up, paired with a phone number finder in the same credit pool. Waalaxy gives you 25 email credits on the €19 Pro plan, basically nothing, and doesn't open real email volume until the €49 Advanced plan's 500 credits. Neither tool replaces a dedicated verification pass before you send, per Closely's own pricing page description of its credit system, but Closely's combined email-plus-phone waterfall does more per credit than Waalaxy's email-only pool.

Does Closely or Waalaxy handle warmup and deliverability?

Closely lists account warmup and dedicated residential IPs as a core feature on every plan, including the $49 Starter tier, per Closely's pricing page. Waalaxy's pricing page doesn't mention warmup, IP reputation, or deliverability once, on any of its three plans. That's fine if you're only sending LinkedIn invites, but the moment you turn on Waalaxy's cold email sequences at €49/mo and up, you're sending from a domain with no built-in warmup layer at all.

Which one should cold email agencies actually use in 2026?

If LinkedIn is your only channel and budget is tight, Waalaxy Pro at €19/user is genuinely cheap and does the job. But most agencies running LinkedIn and email together will get more out of Closely's $127 Growth plan, because warmup, enrichment, and email finding are already priced in instead of bolted on. Waalaxy's low entry price looks better on a spreadsheet than it performs once you add a second channel.

We've booked 3,000+ qualified B2B meetings running outbound for clients across SaaS, finance, and recruitment, and the campaigns that hold up are the ones where deliverability infrastructure isn't an afterthought. If you'd rather have someone else own the warmup, the sending, and the list building, that's the execution layer Modern Inbound's setup service handles.

Frequently asked questions about Closely and Waalaxy

Is Closely or Waalaxy cheaper for a 3-person outbound team?

Closely Growth covers 3 LinkedIn accounts for a flat $127/mo. Waalaxy charges per user, so 3 seats on its €69 Business plan run about €207/mo before email credits, which puts Closely ahead on pure LinkedIn seat cost once a team passes two people.

Does Waalaxy include email warmup like Closely does?

No. Waalaxy's pricing page makes no mention of warmup, dedicated IPs, or deliverability tooling on any plan. Closely includes account warmup and residential IPs starting on its $49 Starter plan.

Can I run cold email sequences in Waalaxy on the cheapest plan?

Not really. Waalaxy's €19 Pro plan caps you at 25 email credits a month. Cold email sequencing and follow-ups only open up on the €49 Advanced plan, which is also where API and Zapier access unlock.

Which tool works better alongside a dedicated cold email platform?

Closely, mainly because its per-account pricing already includes unlimited email accounts and built-in warmup, so it doesn't fight with a separate sending tool over infrastructure. Waalaxy's email layer is closer to an add-on, useful for follow-ups but thin compared to a purpose-built sending stack.
