What is the difference between Cleyo and HeyReach?
Cleyo is a business development platform for recruitment agencies. It finds the companies hiring right now and their decision makers, drafts messages from your playbook, and runs email and LinkedIn in one sequence, with one inbox and a CRM. HeyReach sends LinkedIn outreach to the lists and copy you bring, and email goes through a separate tool you connect.
Is Cleyo a HeyReach alternative for recruiters?
Yes, if your goal is new clients for your desk. Cleyo covers the whole job in one tool: who to contact, from live hiring signals and People Search, the outreach on email and LinkedIn, and the replies, sorted by intent with Reply Agent drafts. No separate email tool or data export to stitch together.
How much does HeyReach cost compared to Cleyo?
HeyReach lists Growth at $79 per LinkedIn sender a month, Agency at $999 a month for 25 senders and Unlimited at $2,999 a month, with a separate email tool extra. Cleyo publishes one price per seat: €99 a month on Growth or €199 on Agency, €84 and €169 billed yearly, with email and LinkedIn in the same plan. Try the full Agency plan free for 30 days with 1,000 credits and no card, backed by a 90-day money-back guarantee.
Can HeyReach send emails?
Not on its own. HeyReach runs email steps through a cold email tool you connect. Cleyo sends email from your own Gmail or Microsoft 365 in the same sequence as your LinkedIn connection requests, messages and InMails, and stops as soon as someone replies.
Does HeyReach find companies that are hiring?
Their site does not describe hiring signals. Leads come from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator searches or from connected tools. Cleyo's Signals shows companies hiring right now from live job ads, with how long each role has been open, plus funding, headcount growth, news and leadership changes. People Search then finds the decision maker with a verified email.
