There are a lot of multichannel outreach tools in the market right now, and every one of them promises the same things. Outreach across multiple channels. AI that writes your full sequences, personalizes them, and sends them for you.
But are those promises true?
That is why I made this list. I picked the six tools that genuinely do multichannel outreach, and I am reviewing each one here.
Let's get into it.
Pricing in this category moves constantly, so confirm the numbers on each vendor's own page before you commit.
Before the reviews, here is what got a tool onto this list and what kept others off it.
A channel only counts when the software does the sending. That sounds obvious, and it is exactly where most of this category falls apart.
Plenty of platforms list LinkedIn, then quietly hand your rep a to-do item. Your sequence has not automated anything. It has written a reminder.
So the first filter was simple. Does the tool send it, or does it nudge a human to send it?
Two separate campaigns running side by side is not multichannel. It is two tools wearing one login.
What I looked for was conditional branching, where a connection accepted on Monday changes what goes out on Wednesday. Every tool here does that, with one caveat I flag in the Saleshandy review.
This decides whether your campaigns survive the weekend.
Cloud execution means the platform sends from its own servers, with your sessions and proxies running there. Extension execution means a browser has to be open on a machine that is awake, which is fine until someone shuts a laptop.
Account safety follows the same split. Tools that pace actions per profile and pull back when LinkedIn starts throttling protect you. Tools that just warn you to go slower are putting that job on you.
Every headline price in this category is written for one person. That is not who is buying.
So I rebuilt each quote at five users, on annual billing, on the plan a real team would land on. The spread is much wider than the entry prices suggest, and in a couple of cases it is a multiple rather than a difference.
Multichannel lowers how many emails each prospect gets, which genuinely helps deliverability. It does not build sender reputation for you.
A tool that bundles warmup saves you a subscription. A tool that leaves it out has a cost line that never appears on its pricing page, and you only find it after you have signed.
Here are the six, and what each one does for your multichannel motion.
The first best multichannel outreach tool on my list is Salesforge, because it runs multichannel outreach natively across email and LinkedIn without per-seat pricing.
Both channels sit in the same sequence with conditional branching, so a connection accepted on Monday changes what goes out on Wednesday. Neither channel is bolted on through an integration you pay for separately.
LinkedIn runs off Salesforge's own infrastructure, one session and one geographically matched proxy per profile. There is no extension to keep open and no machine that has to stay awake, which is what lets a multichannel sequence keep running overnight and over weekends. Each profile gets paced on its own, and sending pauses and rotates when the signals start looking wrong.
The pricing is the other half of why it leads this list. Growth is $80 a month on annual billing and covers unlimited users, unlimited LinkedIn senders and unlimited mailboxes. Hire a sixth rep and the invoice stays exactly where it was, which is not true of most tools below.
Warmup is bundled through Warmforge at no extra cost, so the email half of your multichannel setup has sender reputation handled inside the same subscription. Replies from both channels land together in Primebox™, so your reps work one queue instead of two.
Now the honest part. There is no dialer, no SMS and no WhatsApp. If your cadence depends on picking up the phone inside the same sequence, this is not the tool.
That is a deliberate trade. For B2B teams selling to startups and mid-market buyers, email and LinkedIn carry the pipeline, and Salesforge would rather run those two properly than run five channels badly.

Lemlist is on this list because it runs four genuine channels inside a single sequence builder, which is rarer than this category pretends. Email, LinkedIn, calls and SMS all execute from the same flow, with WhatsApp available on top as a paid add-on.
That breadth is what makes it a real multichannel tool rather than an email platform with a LinkedIn checkbox. A sequence can email on day one, call on day three and send a LinkedIn message on day five, all branching off what the prospect did.
Personalization is the part Lemlist built its name on. Dynamic images, custom variables and AI-assisted copy give you creative range that nothing else here matches, and it carries across channels rather than being email-only.
LinkedIn runs through your own account session rather than a dedicated cloud sender. The daily caps are conservative, around 20 invites and 30 messages, with a ramp-up setting that raises volume gradually on a newer profile.
The thing users mention most is how fast it feels to work in. One founder called the interface "clean, intuitive, and genuinely enjoyable" (see review).
The friction lands on the invoice. Multichannel reads as per user, which turns $87 into $435 across five seats, and the enrichment credits drain faster than almost anyone expects going in.

Reply.io earns its place with the widest channel coverage here. Email, LinkedIn, calls, SMS and WhatsApp all sit in one conditional sequence, branching off prospect behaviour rather than running as five separate campaigns.
That matters if your motion genuinely needs the phone and messaging apps alongside email. Most tools in this category cap out at two or three channels before handing you a task reminder.
It also sells the infrastructure underneath, which almost nobody else here does. You can buy domains inside the platform with DNS handled for you, add Google or Microsoft mailboxes, and pick pre-warmed options that are ready to send on day one. Warmup comes with every mailbox, reputation is tracked per inbox, and rotation spreads your volume once you scale up.
Then you try to work out what it costs. Starter, Professional and Ultimate carry no price at all, and only Reply Unlimited shows a number, starting at $166 a month.
Reliability is the other sticking point. The pattern across lower-rated reviews is a platform that feels heavy, summed up by one reviewer as "slow and buggy, some features are missing" (see review).

La Growth Machine is here because it treats LinkedIn as the lead channel rather than an add-on to email, and it is the only tool on this list that sends X DMs.
The sequence builder puts LinkedIn, email, X and call tasks into one branching flow with A/B testing on individual steps. If your multichannel motion starts on LinkedIn and uses email as the follow-up, this is the structure that fits.
LinkedIn runs fully cloud-based with a dedicated mobile proxy per identity, and the platform waits a full 30 minutes after a connection is accepted before firing the next action. It also publishes real numbers, which is unusual. New accounts start near 20 invitations a day and ramp by ten. Settled accounts run up to 100 to 150 invitations a week alongside 120 messages a day.
Pricing works per identity, where an identity is one sending profile. Five of those on Pro comes to €600 a month, which is the top of this list by some distance.
Email is the weaker half of the product. There is no warmup, no inbox rotation, and the customization is thin next to a dedicated email platform. One CEO put it bluntly, saying you "really just can't customize your emails all that much" (see review).

Apollo.io makes this list because it runs native email sequencing and a full dialer with a contact database sitting in the same workspace. Most teams buy prospect data and an outreach tool separately, and folding both into one login removes a tool and an export step from the stack.
That combination is why it carries the highest G2 rating here at 4.7. The Parallel Dialer is properly good rather than a checkbox, email sequencing automates cleanly, domain warming is included, and inbox rotation handles volume sending.
LinkedIn is where it struggles for a multichannel buyer. Actions fire through the Apollo Chrome extension, so the browser has to stay open and awake. Profile views and post interactions still need a person to finish them off, which makes them tasks rather than automated steps.
Apollo is upfront that stacking too many LinkedIn tasks at once can get an account temporarily restricted. It just does not give you caps or throttling to stop that happening.
Users feel that in practice. One growth lead described the extension as unreliable, noting it "gets flagged by LinkedIn sometimes as automation" (see review).
Data accuracy draws the loudest criticism across thousands of reviews, with wrong titles, stale records and missing mobile numbers coming up again and again.

Saleshandy is on this list for teams whose multichannel motion is email-led with calls and WhatsApp around it. Both of those run natively, on a flat plan that covers ten users at $76 a month.
As an email platform it holds up well. Unlimited email accounts on every plan, domains you can buy inside the product at $14 a year, DNS configured automatically, and warmup included through TrulyInbox. At $34 a month it is also the cheapest entry point here.
The LinkedIn side is where it gets complicated, and this is the caveat I flagged in the criteria. You cannot send a connection request or a LinkedIn message from inside Saleshandy at all.
LinkedIn steps route out to Aimfox or HeyReach through an API key, and both of those are separate paid subscriptions. So the flat $76 is not what multichannel actually costs you here, and the marketing pages do not make that obvious.
Warmup is the other thing to watch. The sharpest reviews tie it to reputation damage, with one head of sales warning that "your clients won't receive the emails" (see review).

Salesforge is the best multichannel outreach tool for most B2B teams, because email and LinkedIn both run natively and the price holds flat as you hire. Five seats costs $80 a month while the per-seat options clear $400.
Lemlist takes it if you want four channels in one sequence. Reply.io takes it if calls and WhatsApp are non-negotiable. Apollo is the better buy when the database matters more to you than LinkedIn automation.
Start a free trial and run one sequence end to end before you decide.
They run outreach across more than one channel from a single sequence, usually email and LinkedIn, sometimes calls, SMS or WhatsApp. The sequence branches on behaviour, so a LinkedIn acceptance can change what email goes out next.
Salesforge at $80 a month on Growth, billed annually, because the fee is flat and covers unlimited users. Saleshandy Pro is $76 for up to ten users, but LinkedIn needs a separate paid tool, so your real total runs higher.
It can, and how the tool executes matters more than how much you send. Cloud platforms that pace actions per profile and pause on warning signals are safer than extensions firing in bulk. Starting around 20 connection requests a day and ramping slowly is the sensible approach on a fresh account.
Most do not. Salesforge, Lemlist, Apollo.io and La Growth Machine all expect you to connect your own. Reply.io and Saleshandy let you buy domains and mailboxes inside the platform with DNS configured for you.
Native means the platform sends the LinkedIn actions itself. An integration passes the action to a separate tool you pay for on its own, which is how Saleshandy works through Aimfox or HeyReach.
Yes. Multichannel lowers how many emails each prospect gets, but it does nothing to build sender reputation. New mailboxes still need around 14 days of warmup before you send anything cold.
Reply.io covers email, LinkedIn, calls, SMS and WhatsApp. Lemlist covers email, LinkedIn, calls and SMS, with WhatsApp as a paid add-on on top.
