Closely

Pros: The set up was easy and the results come soon. I've personally gained 172 LinkedIn connections over 1 month and 10 days of using Closely.

Cons: Sometimes the icon that lingers on your screen when you're using LinkedIn can be distracting, especially when you're studying a course and it's there while the video is playing.

Overall: I've personally gained 172 LinkedIn connections over 1 month and 10 days of using Closely. I've been using it for personal networking but it would also work well for B2B businesses networking over LinkedIn.

Pros: It is the easy to use & i would recommend it for people who are getting started with this.

Cons: Don't have the scraper inside the sales navigator.

Overall: Great.

Pros: The best thing about this tool is the automation on the cloud. I only connected my account, set-up a campaign and I got tons of value.

Cons: The pricing for monthly plans are fine, but for one as he starts is not the best. So, I hope they will allow offers, and good deals.

Overall: Prospecting could take a lot of time, but closely makes it easier and faster to reach qualified leads, and grow my network.

Pros: Excellent product and easy to use.
Intuitive dashboard.
Good features and promising road map.
Highly recommended.

Overall: A highly recommended platform for LinkedIn follower growth and lead generation. I have used many other platforms, but this is really good.

Pros: The tools offers a variety of solution to increase the efficiency for the outreach of the LinkedIn market. It's reliable for marketers, business owners and agencies. The best of this, is that all can be automated.

The pro are the cloud based so you don't need to have your computer running to make it work, additionally it takes care of the proxies so you don't need to worry about LinkedIn warnings, also, one can personalize the campaigns based on variables, and you can reach different market segments easily.

The last but not the least, the team is very active providing case studies, new features and continuous support!

Cons: We need integration with other apps, and more in-depth personalization. However, those are extra particular features, but they are on the way; so nothing to worry about.

Overall: I would recommend the app to anyone who wish to increase its leads generation with one safe, efficient and effective method - Closely. Or, to someone who would like to reduce workload and expand network in LinkedIn

Pros: The UX is nice. Easy to set up & Use. The LinkedIn outreach is just easy on Closely.
Especially it's cloud based, which reduces the risk of getting banned.
Development is active :)

Cons: It doesn't have multi-channel outreach feature, but we can see an active development :)
Look forward for multi-channel outreach feature.

Overall: Overall, I never regret using Closely. I think it's a great tool for LinkedIn automation.
Easy to learn & use. Good team, good content, good community.

Pros: A complete SaaS solution for your outreach. Since it's not a plugin that runs in your browser, so you don't have to monitor that way. It is more like you do it once, keep in eye on it every few days, and you are all good to go.
The best part is it actually works. Like in month you will be surprised to know how many you made without 1/10 of an effort.

Cons: The only thing that I am not such a fan of is, you can't run multiple profiles at the same time. Or at least I don't as of now.

Overall: In essence, if you need to outreach your future prospects and that too at scale without much of an effort on your end, you need Closely.

Pros: Easy to use and campaigns are easy to navigate.

The user interface is super user friendly and new users can easily pick it up.

Cons: Not enough campaigns and features and more segmentation options would be helpful.

Overall: Overall makes the whole LinkedIn automation process super easy and user friendly. I just wish they had more then two campaigns as most software offers more

Pros: I have used a few other LinkedIn automation tools already, and Closely matched them in terms of intuitiveness, ease of use and specifically, the cloud-based platform it provides.

You don't need to keep logging into LinkedIn for the automation to start, which is always a huge time saver.

Automation is slow, but that's a good thing keeping the LinkedIn limits in mind.

Cons: Unfortunately, the tool lacks some important features.

1. Messaging group members without a connection request

2. We cannot create automations based on rules or conditions. Also, the time between follow-up messages can only be a minimum of 1 day. There is no flexibility in terms of the gap between two messages.

3. The "Invite by email" campaign had a lot of issues. I do not know if we can run those campaigns now.

Overall: It is advised to work on the Linkedin profile to generate more leads for business.

Safe automation is a must these days as LinkedIn has stringent policies on automation.

Closely addresses these 2 areas correctly. We started automation on Linkedin again, thanks to Closely.

Give it a try, you will definitely want to keep using it.

Pros: Purchased 1 code in Appsumo and had a chance to try out the product, and I already looking forward to buy an extra code today. Closely is one of the useful product I got in Appsumo and based on my interaction with them. They are very helpful and committed in improving the product even more.

Cons: They are quite new and there's still some functionality that can be implemented.

Overall: Overall, I very much recommend Closely for Agency or freelancer growth for their outbound marketing. looking forward to their growth!

Pros: I love the updates that are going to be rolled out and the updates that have been made so far. Also, the fact that it's cloud-based makes it more attractive.

Cons: The UI and the color scheme do not seem very professional. I am sure it will improve.

Overall: Their SaaS, prompt assistance, and ease of use right out of the box while having all the required capabilities have surpassed my expectations.

Between user feedback requests, testing, and announcing new roadmap items, Closely's Facebook page is highly busy.

Given that Closely works in the cloud and that I had no trouble accessing LinkedIn from both my smartphone and laptop when it was operating for me, keep in mind that they undoubtedly also have proxies in India as I am writing to you from there.

In my opinion, it becomes an even more amazing tool when combined with Leadrocks' LinkedIn email database.

After a free trial with one of their well-known rivals, I must say that I am happy to stick with Closely.

Pros: - Tool was extremely easy to setup
- Automation is seamless and also has limits to prevent from LinkedIn spam reporting you
- UI and UX of the platform is very user friendly
- They allow for custom mail merges
- They allow you to see your LinkedIn inbox and connections within the platform itself

Cons: - There are very few cons, but perhaps adding in the ability to integrate closely with campaigns from other tools like Lemlist?

Overall: - My experience was great with Closely. Their customer service is also excellent, and they always answer questions within the same hour.

Pros: - One of the best automation tools
- Time-saving
- Use friendly

Pros: Closely is simply easy and effective and comes with dedicated proxy. I was able to grow my network with 1000 additional contacts in just 6 weeks.

Cons: Social giants like LinkedIn don't like any kind of automation. So, I am doubtful if they may ban it in the future. I just wish this tool to survive. This is no con, but probably the universal con for any tool of this kind.

Multiple accounts in one place.

Dedicated IP For Each LinkedIn.

Pros: If you're always busy and don't have time to log into your LinkedIn automation tool every day, you'll love Closely because it's cloud-based. I once had this problem. It takes hours to go to LinkedIn and find the right contacts. But with Closely, you can set up campaigns and give them some direction on who to follow and what to say. Then Closely takes care of everything!

Cons: Nothing bad but they will be fast to enrich more features.

Overall: You want to create a LinkedIn profile to reach more targeted prospects.
There are many LinkedIn growth hacking tools, but they all do it in different ways. I've tried a few, and I think Closely is the best way to grow LinkedIn.
There are other great features like automatically messaging a contact and managing all his LinkedIn connections from the Closely app. For those who want to reach more people online but don't have the time, Closely is the fastest and fully automated way to do it.

Pros: It's a great product for lead generation through LinkedIn. I really like the roadmap and the features they are building to improve the product for future.

Cons: I see no cons in using the product as it is stable and continuously improving.
