ProspectIn Alternatives: Compare pricing, features and services.

Pricing 

Pricing and plan availability is one of the most important considerations when evaluating LinkedIn automation software. Both ProspectIn and Meet Alfred have multiple plans to choose from at different costs; both tools provide options for individuals all the way up to enterprise businesses. 

ProspectIn has a total of three plans: Pro, Advanced and Enterprise. Additionally, ProspectIn offers a standard plan for free - however, users are capped at 15 actions per day and cannot import contacts or export emails. Similarly, Meet Alfred also has three plan options: Personal, Business and Enterprise.

The most affordable plans for each are comparable in price and offer similar features. The Meet Alfred Individual plan, at $39/month, has a few more features than the equivalent ProspectIn Pro plan, at €24.99/month, but overall, both are similar for entry level LinkedIn automation tools.

However, there are major differences between the mid and top-tier plans for each LinkedIn automation tool. 

Meet Alfred’s mid-tier offering - the Business plan (priced at $59/month) - is actually more comparable to ProspectIn’s Enterprise plan (costing €149.99/month - approximately $164/month) for the range of features offered. And although ProspectIn’s tiered plan structure offers more options for users, the Advanced plan falls short compared to Meet Alfred’s mid-tier counterpart.

As for the top-tier offering, Meet Alfred’s Agency plan is unchallenged by ProspectIn, giving users access to features such as a white label, advanced team management, private training, dedicated support, and volume discounts for additional users.

Features 

Simply put, Meet Alfred has more features at lower price points than ProspectIn. The following are just some of the features offered by Meet Alfred but not by ProspectIn: 

• Advanced LinkedIn CRM
• LinkedIn content retargeting
• LinkedIn events and groups automation 
• Team collaboration
• Customizable template library 
• LinkedIn scraper 

Support for multiple channels

Most LinkedIn automation tools only have features for LinkedIn, despite very few businesses only using LinkedIn. A well-rounded digital marketing strategy across varying social channels is essential to success, and Meet Alfred offers more than just LinkedIn automation. Users also get automation on Twitter, email, and more. 

Meet Alfred doesn’t only just support multiple channels. Users can create campaigns that go across multiple platforms. For example, send a LinkedIn auto connect request and follow it up with an email or Twitter direct message. 

Another feature included is social media post scheduling for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram in addition to LinkedIn. What may seem like a simple feature, is rare among LinkedIn social selling platforms - and Meet Alfred customers get the benefit of planning all social media posting campaigns in one simple interface.

When sending a private message on LinkedIn with communication on other platforms, it’s important to be careful not to overwhelm or annoy connections. Meet Alfred also includes response detection, stopping follow-ups and preventing sending too many messages.

Demos, resources and customer support

Before choosing a LinkedIn tool for lead generation automation, it’s valuable to get a feel for how the software feels, with either a demo or free trial. This is something Meet Alfred offers which ProspectIn doesn’t.

Before signing up to a plan, Meet Alfred customers can immerse themselves in a product demonstration. This feature allows users to evaluate the interface and tool capabilities first hand. Alternatively, ProspectIn only offers pre-recorded videos to showcase its product.

Meet Alfred users also have access to an extensive library of help articles, videos and LinkedIn guides. In the rare instance a question can’t be answered by the resource library, Meet Alfred also has excellent 24/7 customer support with a five-minute maximum response time - if you can’t find a solution or prefer direct help, you can easily reach a live support agent.
