allen. vs Waalaxy
Waalaxy automates connection requests, messages, and scraping through a Chrome extension. Allen posts through the official LinkedIn API.
The short answer.
You want to test outbound cheaply and you are comfortable running an extension on your own machine.
You want the people you eventually message to already know who you are, and you would rather stay inside what LinkedIn's own terms allow.

Background
What Waalaxy actually does.
Waalaxy runs LinkedIn and email sequences from a Chrome extension, with prospect lists, pre-built templates, and CRM sync. Pricing is Pro at €19/user/month (300 invites/month), Advanced at €49 (800 invites, API access), and Business at €69 (adds cold email sequencing), each on a 14-day free trial.
It is the accessible end of the outreach market, and for a small team testing outbound cheaply it is a reasonable first tool.
The mechanism is what to weigh. Waalaxy sends connection requests and follow-up messages through your browser, automating actions LinkedIn's own Professional Community Policies restrict to a person acting manually. The messages are also still cold: a request from someone who has never seen your name before.

Head to head
Where the two really differ.
The approach
Waalaxy
Automated connection requests and follow-up messages to a list.
allen.
Public comments on your buyers' posts, building recognition before any ask.
How it connects
Waalaxy
A Chrome extension (listed on the Chrome Web Store as "Waalaxy - LinkedIn Automation Tool") automating actions on your LinkedIn session. Campaigns need the browser open to progress.
allen.
The official LinkedIn API. Comments post whether or not your browser is open.
What LinkedIn's own terms say
Waalaxy
LinkedIn's Professional Community Policies bar "bots or other unauthorized automated methods" to add or download contacts, send messages, or drive engagement. We are not saying Waalaxy accounts get restricted; we are pointing at the rule its extension operates inside.

Allen posts through the official LinkedIn API, the sanctioned way to act on a member's behalf.
Personalization
Waalaxy
Merge fields in a template.

A comment written specifically about the post that person just published, in your voice.

What Allen would draft for a Waalaxy buyer.
Marcus Webb
Account Executive, mid-market SaaS
“Sent 200 connection requests this month. 4 replies. Starting to wonder if cold LinkedIn outbound is just dead in 2026.”
Not dead, just cold. A connection request from a name someone has never seen has always converted worse than a reply to something they recognize. Worth testing a few weeks of just commenting on the accounts you actually want, no ask, before the next round of requests goes out.
A real example, not the average. Pricing, categories, and features reflect each product's public positioning at the time of writing and may change. We do our best to describe competitors fairly, and we encourage you to evaluate every tool yourself before you buy.
Where Waalaxy genuinely wins
We would rather you buy the right tool than the wrong one.
- Very affordable per seat, with a free tier to start
- Email plus LinkedIn sequencing in one place
- Easy to get started with no infrastructure
Why people move to Allen
The reasons we hear most from people switching.
- Reply rates on cold sequences were not worth the effort
- Campaigns stalled whenever the laptop was closed
- Wanted to build reputation rather than send volume
- Preferred a connection to LinkedIn that stays inside its own terms
