Updraft vs HeyReach: the simpler choice for founder-led outreach

HeyReach is designed for agencies juggling dozens of LinkedIn sender accounts. Most founders and small teams have one profile that matters: their own. Updraft is built for exactly that, and it puts AI messages, AI lead qualification and setup help into one flat $59 plan.

Why founders pick Updraft

You pay for what you use. One account, one flat price, no sender maths and no enrichment credits to top up.
Messages sound like you. Every step can be an AI prompt that writes for that specific lead, and you preview it before anything goes out.
Only the right people get contacted. AI qualification checks each new lead against your ideal customer profile and holds back anyone who does not fit, with the reason.
Your pipeline fills itself. Point a lead source at a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search and it picks up new people every day.
Nothing is a black box. Every send, skip and limit is logged with the reason, so you always know what happened.
You are not on your own. Book a call and we set up your first campaign with you.

Which one fits you

If you run outreach from your own LinkedIn profile, as most founders, consultants and small agencies do, Updraft gives you everything you need for less and with less to configure.

HeyReach makes sense when your job is managing outreach across many client profiles at once and you need one inbox across all of them. That is a different job from growing your own pipeline.
