Example (made-up, exactly as in the file): 100 invitations a week through a $99 tool plus $119.99 Sales Navigator Core books 5.4 meetings a month at $40.55 each, and one week of restricted invitations loses $798.23 (a week of deals plus a week of fees) - the loss LinkedIn warns about when it suspects an automation tool.

Outreach tools sell volume ("unlimited invites", "75 connection requests a day"); LinkedIn publishes no weekly number, says exceeding its limits or using prohibited tools can restrict your account, and you cannot buy more invitations. This prices your own funnel against that rule before you pay for a seat. Type last week's numbers from LinkedIn (My Network > Manage > Sent) below; the answer updates as you type.

Why more invitations is not more meetings

What you lose: LinkedIn limits invitations for every member and does not publish the number. Its Help Center says: "If you exceed these limits or use prohibited tools, your account may be restricted", and "Most restrictions will automatically be removed within one week." In the made-up example one restricted week loses $798.23: ($3,240.00 of deals + $218.99 of seats) × 12 / 52.

The rules a tool's pricing page leaves out: "You can't buy or acquire more invitations" (LinkedIn Help a551012). After you withdraw an invitation you cannot resend to the same person for up to three weeks. A free account can add a personal note to up to three connection requests a month, 200 characters each (a563153). User Agreement 8.2 bans "bots or other unauthorized automated methods to ... add or download contacts, send or redirect messages". Sales Navigator Core lists US$119.99 a month with 50 InMail credits, so one credit costs $2.40.

What the seats cost: pricing pages read 13 November 2026: Expandi $99 a month ("Send up to 300+ connection requests weekly"), Dripify Pro $79 ("up to 75 connection requests ... a day"), HeyReach Growth $79 per sender, lemlist Multichannel $109, PROSP Starter $79.99 per account every 4 weeks ("Unlimited invites"). At the example funnel Dripify or HeyReach plus Sales Navigator is $36.85 per meeting and Expandi $40.55; the volume each page promises does not change the meetings your weekly ceiling allows.

No risk: the answer above is free and complete for your own funnel, no sign-up, nothing sent to LinkedIn. The full version is a file you own: paid once, no subscription.

Next step: Keep the weekly invitations at a number LinkedIn has not warned you about, withdraw invitations that stay unanswered (LinkedIn blocks a resend to the same person for up to three weeks), and log each week's sends and replies so the real rates replace your guesses before you renew a seat.
