Waalaxy vs Meetcatcher
Waalaxy at a glance
Waalaxy runs your LinkedIn prospecting from a Chrome extension and web app. You import people from a LinkedIn search, pick a ready-made sequence of visits, invitations and messages, and it works through them within the limits of your plan, with email steps on the higher tier. You end up with new connections and replies to handle. Meetcatcher starts where those replies are meant to lead: a call with a decision maker.
Who it suits
Waalaxy is approachable for people without a sales team. A freelance designer can set up a campaign aimed at marketing managers in e-commerce in a few minutes and let it run while doing client work. Unlike LinkedIn Sales Navigator, which is mainly about search, Waalaxy carries out the outreach steps for you, and shared analytics help small teams prospecting from several profiles.
What LinkedIn automation leaves open
LinkedIn caps how many invitations you can send and does not allow automation in its user agreement, so volume is limited and the account is yours to look after. Then the human part begins: whether to add a note to the request, what to write once someone accepts and how to turn a polite reply into a meeting.
From connection to conversation
Meetcatcher skips the connection stage. The people it suggests are already open to meeting new businesses, so instead of a sequence you send one invitation and they choose a time from your calendar. Calls run about ten minutes, enough to see whether there is a fit, and since missing a confirmed call costs credits, people turn up. If what you want from LinkedIn is new B2B clients and partners, this gets you face to face with them faster.
Waalaxy, Meetcatcher or both
If LinkedIn is where your buyers spend time and you want to stay visible there, Waalaxy and a sharp profile are worth it, and so is knowing how the LinkedIn algorithm treats your posts. If your aim is your first meeting with someone who can say yes, Meetcatcher is the shorter road. Many small businesses can use LinkedIn for visibility and Meetcatcher for the calls.
