Expandi charges $99 a month per LinkedIn account and sends the deal to your CRM through an integration. Lynkgrids charges $45 per user, runs on the same cloud-and-dedicated-IP model, and keeps the pipeline inside the tool.
Both run in the cloud with a dedicated IP per account. The differences are the price, where the pipeline lives, and what costs extra.

Expandi is a serious cloud tool and the visual personalization is genuinely good. If those images lift your reply rate and the $99 pays for itself, there is no reason to move.
Two Lynkgrids seats cost less than one Expandi seat. Both run in the cloud on dedicated IPs. The money you save goes nowhere else, because the pipeline and the AI drafting are already in the plan.
Expandi and Lynkgrids agree on how to keep an account healthy: run in the cloud, give each account its own IP, throttle like a person and warm new accounts up slowly. Where they differ is what happens after the reply.
Expandi treats the CRM as someone else's product. The reply goes out through a webhook or an integration, and the deal is tracked in HubSpot, Pipedrive or a spreadsheet. Lynkgrids keeps it on the contact record: connection sent, email sent, reply received, deal created, all on one timeline.
The AI drafts the next message from that timeline, so a follow-up after a reply reads like a follow-up, not a restart. Pick OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or Groq and keep your company context attached.
The price gap comes from building one product instead of renting pieces of three. Lynkgrids is built and run by Lynkread, the agency that uses it on its own client accounts every day, and there is no tool markup in the seat price.
The account is already warm. The job is moving the data and rebuilding the sequences.
Export each Expandi campaign's leads as CSV and import them into separate Lynkgrids lists.
Run the one-time 1st-degree connections sync so accepted requests carry their history.
Set the same daily caps you used on Expandi. There is no need to re-warm an account that is already active.
Recreate the sequence with LinkedIn and email steps. Replies open a deal in the pipeline automatically.
Bring one Expandi campaign across, run it for a week, and compare the bill and the pipeline side by side.
