What happened to Zopto in 2026?

Zopto shut down permanently in February 2026 with no public explanation, per SalesRobot's 2026 Zopto alternatives report. Thousands of users relying on it for multichannel outreach lost access overnight.

Zopto's own domain, zopto.com, now redirects (HTTP 301) straight to zeekeo.com/pricing, confirmed by checking the redirect directly. That's strong first-party evidence Zeekeo has taken over Zopto's web presence, even without a formal rebrand announcement from either company.

How much do Zeekeo and Linked Helper cost in 2026?

Linked Helper starts at $15/month for local storage and tops out at $59.90/month for its cloud Pro tier, per Linked Helper's pricing page. Zeekeo starts at $149/seat/month self-serve and $649/month for its managed service, roughly a 10x price gap before you count seats.

  • Linked Helper Standard, local storage: $15/month, or $8.25/month annual
  • Linked Helper Pro, local storage: $45/month, or $24.75/month annual
  • Linked Helper Standard/Pro, cloud storage: $29.90 and $59.90/month
  • Zeekeo Do-It-Yourself: $149/seat/month, 15% off quarterly
  • Zeekeo Done-For-You: from $649/month, dedicated growth pod included

Is cloud or local LinkedIn automation safer for your account?

Local tools like Linked Helper run actions from your own computer and IP address, the fingerprint LinkedIn already trusts because you log in from it daily. Cloud tools like Zeekeo run from shared infrastructure, which scales faster but is easier for LinkedIn's detection systems to flag.

That's why agencies managing 10+ client LinkedIn accounts often keep one local tool in the stack, even after moving most volume to Zeekeo, Expandi, or Dux-Soup. Diversifying where automation runs from is cheap insurance against a mass ban.

Zeekeo vs Linked Helper: which should you actually use?

If you're a solo founder or small agency running your own outbound, buy Linked Helper. It's a fraction of the price, runs on your own IP, and does one job, LinkedIn automation, better than a platform also trying to be your email and calling tool.

  • Choose Linked Helper if you're running LinkedIn outreach yourself, costs under $50/month per seat.
  • Choose Zeekeo if you have budget for a managed omnichannel motion, not just software to click through.

Paying $149/seat/month for self-serve software when Linked Helper's Pro plan does most of the job for $45 is a bad trade for most teams. Zeekeo only earns its price on the managed service, not the software alone.

Modern Inbound doesn't sell LinkedIn automation software. We run outbound end to end: infrastructure, data, copy, and execution. If you'd rather hand off that motion than test another tool, that's what our setup service does. We've booked 3,000+ qualified B2B meetings for clients who made that same call.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zopto still available in 2026?

No. Zopto shut down permanently in February 2026 with no public explanation, per SalesRobot's 2026 Zopto alternatives report. There's no way to sign up, renew, or recover an old account.

What replaced Zopto?

Zopto's own domain now redirects to Zeekeo's pricing page, confirmed directly against zopto.com. Zeekeo, a cloud-based omnichannel outbound platform, has inherited Zopto's web traffic and occupies the same LinkedIn-plus-email automation space, though neither company has issued a formal joint rebrand announcement.

Is Linked Helper cheaper than Zeekeo?

Yes, significantly. Linked Helper's local Standard plan starts at $15/month, or $8.25/month annual, while Zeekeo's self-serve tier starts at $149/seat/month, per each company's pricing page. Linked Helper's Pro plan, at $45/month, still costs less than a third of Zeekeo's cheapest tier.

Does Linked Helper run in the cloud like Zopto did?

Only if you pay for its cloud-storage tier. By default, Linked Helper is a local desktop app running automation from your own computer and IP address, the opposite of Zopto's original cloud-based model.
