Skylead vs. Meet Alfred: A detailed comparison between the two LinkedIn tools  

As both the Skylead and Meet Alfred tools contain LinkedIn automation software, they have a lot of things in common. Below are just some of the functionalities you can get with each LinkedIn automation tool: 

• Ability to send hundreds of LinkedIn invites each week 
• Personalized LinkedIn connection requests
• LinkedIn InMail automation
• Integration with email marketing 
• Creation of campaign sequences with several steps 

The above similarities are enough to make you consider either option for LinkedIn lead automation, however, there are also some notable differences between the two tools:

Meet Alfred Offers Three Plans to Fit Your Budget.

One major difference between the two LinkedIn message automation tools are their plans and pricing. Skylead keeps things simple with a single plan, priced at $100 per account per month. 

On one hand, this saves you the hassle of comparing plans or determining what features you need. But the problem with only offering a single plan is that it won’t appeal to everyone. Most companies will not want all of the features that Skylead offers or have to pay for features they don’t need. On top of that, at $100 per account per month, Skylead is a bit pricey. 

By contrast, Meet Alfred understands that the best LinkedIn automation software should come with various plans and price points. After all, no two companies are alike and being able to choose from several plans enables every business to select the one plan that best fits their needs and budget. 

To address this, Meet Alfred offers three plans at varying price points. The Individual plan is $59 per month ($39 if you pay annually). The Business plan is $99 per month ($59 if you pay annually). Lastly, the Agency plan is $799 per month ($499 if paid annually) and already includes ten users/ seats.

When looking specifically at the prices, you will notice one more difference between using Meet Alfred and Skylead for automated LinkedIn lead generation. That is, if you decide to pay for Meet Alfred annually instead of monthly, you would save 33%. By contrast, Skylead doesn’t offer any such annual discounts.

Both Offer Some Form of Personalization With Automation. 

Whether you choose Skylead or Meet Alfred, you can send personalized LinkedIn messages, but it is the degree of personalization and the focus that differ. 

Skylead focuses on visual personalization. You can use personalized images and gifs or get creative by customizing the images you include for your prospects. While it is a flashy feature, it isn’t the type of personalization most prospects really want. 

A personalized gif or image will catch prospects’ eye, but Skylead does not have as many personalization tools within the messages themselves. By contrast, Meet Alfred has hyper-personalization. This means you can start by using a template and inserting the prospect’s name, company, or job title. More impressively, you can also import a .csv file of leads. Meet Alfred will capture the extra columns, allowing you to add even more customization to your messaging.

Both Have Email Features, But Only Meet Alfred Works With Other Social Media Platforms.

When talking about the features that Meet Alfred and Skylead have in common, we mentioned that both have some degree of email integration. So, you can use either platform to send emails to the addresses that you get from a LinkedIn email scraper. 

Whilst this is definitely an important feature, Meet Alfred takes its integrations to the next level. Despite costing less than Skylead, Alfred enables integration with other social media platforms. The free social media post scheduler included in the Meet Alfred software also works with Facebook, Twitter, and more.
