Searching, reading each profile, scoring against your ICP. 14 of the 20 passed.
The agent asks. SDR Pilot's pacer decides what actually goes out, and when.
gtm-api is an account-based LinkedIn API: typed MCP tools for AI agents and REST for a backend, from $39 per connected account a month, scaling down to $10 per account at volume, with a forever free plan for one account and no card. It covers messaging, invites, InMails, profile and company search and posts, across Classic and Sales Navigator.
Why people look for something else
- They wanted outbound, and what arrived was a toolkit they now have to write the SDR on top of.
- They need more than LinkedIn in one integration.
- They do not want the pacing decision to live in their own prompt or cron.
- They want the replies answered, not delivered as data.
1. SDR Pilot, if you want the SDR rather than the tools
$97 a month per sender, with agency plans at $297 and $497. It finds people from six LinkedIn sources, reads and scores every profile against your ICP, sends only to the ones that pass at up to 20 a day, and then answers every reply from a playbook drafted from your website. Your own agent can drive all of that over MCP or the API, both of which are in early access and neither of which is installable today. The caps, the warm-up, the one-action-at-a-time lock and the active hours are not parameters, so an agent cannot raise them.
2. Unipile, if you need more channels than LinkedIn
A unified REST API for messaging, email and calendar across LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail, Outlook, IMAP and calendars. Pay as You Go at 49 euros a month for up to 10 accounts, then 5 euros per account from 11 to 50, 4 euros to 200, and down to 3 euros above 5,000. Unlimited usage with only provider limits applying, no per request or per message cost, and a seven day trial with no card. The closest thing on this page to gtm-api's job, with a wider surface and no LinkedIn speciality.
3. HeyReach, if the answer is people, not code
Growth at $79 a month, Agency at $999 a month with 25 senders and whitelabel included, Unlimited at $2,999 a month capped at 300 senders under a fair use policy. Not an API product at all: a multi sender campaign platform with a unified inbox, for agencies whose problem is running many LinkedIn accounts rather than programming one.
4. Expandi, if you want a campaign builder with a dedicated IP
$99 a month, or $79 billed annually, with a seven day free trial. Cloud based software with a dedicated country based IP address, smart sequences with conditions, and a custom priced agency tier from ten seats with white label and permissions. The safest of the classic campaign tools by its own published model, and nothing to build.
5. Dripify, if the budget is the constraint
Basic $59 per user a month, Pro $79, Advanced $99, or $39, $59 and $79 billed annually. Cloud based drip campaigns with 20 connection requests a day on Basic and 75 advertised on the paid tiers, an inbox from Pro, and webhook, HubSpot and Zapier integrations by tier. The cheapest way on this page to get messages moving without writing anything.

Where a vendor does not publish a number, this page leaves it out rather than guessing, and the same rule applies to our own product: the SDR Pilot MCP server and API keys are in early access, not shipped, and there is nothing to install today.
FAQQuestions people ask
What is the best gtm-api alternative?
It depends on what you wanted it for. For outbound that already works and can be driven by your agent, SDR Pilot at $97 a month. For a broader API across more channels, Unipile from 49 euros for ten accounts. For running many client accounts with people rather than code, HeyReach.
Is there a free gtm-api alternative?
Not among these. gtm-api's own forever free plan for one connected account is the only free tier on this page. Unipile and Expandi offer seven day trials and SalesRobot fourteen days; SDR Pilot has no trial because each sender needs a dedicated residential IP bought before its first login.
Which one can my AI agent drive?
gtm-api ships MCP tools today. Unipile is a REST API your agent can call. SDR Pilot's MCP server and API are in early access, with nothing to install yet, and the difference when they land is that the pacer, the warm-up and the ICP score stay in force whatever the caller asks for.
Do any of these answer LinkedIn replies for me?
SDR Pilot does, from a playbook drafted from your website, and stands down when you answer a thread yourself. gtm-api and Unipile deliver replies to your code. HeyReach, Expandi and Dripify give you an inbox and you answer in it.
It Starts With a DM. The Agent Answers First. 
SDR Pilot is allow-listed, so there is no checkout and no free trial. Send a DM on LinkedIn, the agent answers, and your account is set up from there. Plans start at $97 a month for one LinkedIn sender.
