FUNEL

Credits, with no seat fee

FUNEL is credit-based, so cost follows what you run rather than seats. Pricing starts from about $2.25 per 500 credits, with yearly (about 15% off), monthly (about 11% off) and pay-as-you-go options. Pay-as-you-go credits never expire.

A contact from the pool is about 1 credit for a common profile and up to about 6 for a rare one, and about 3.5 on a mixed list.
A verified work email adds 5 credits and is charged only when one is found, so a fully email-verified lead is about 8 credits on a typical list.
On a mixed list, 10,000 credits is roughly 2,900 contacts, or about 1,200 email-verified leads.

Why teams choose FUNEL

Find and send in one place

Build the list, verify the emails and start the sequence from the same sheet, so there is no lead source to buy and no import step.

See how it works

Pay by credit, not by sender

Cost follows the work you run. A quiet month costs little, and pay-as-you-go credits never expire.

LinkedIn and email from one list

Mix email and LinkedIn steps in one sequence instead of running two tools side by side.

See how it works

Switching from HeyReach

Three steps, and you can run FUNEL alongside the old tool while you test.

1
Export your current list
Download your leads as a CSV from your current tool. Check that tool's terms for what you may export.
2
Import and fill the gaps
Import the CSV into a FUNEL sheet, then run email enrichment and AI columns on the rows that are missing data.
3
Rebuild the sequence
Recreate your email and LinkedIn steps in FUNEL and launch from the same list.

How we reviewed this

Written by the FUNEL team, so treat it as a vendor comparison. We read HeyReach's public pages (linked below) on November 1, 2026 and did not run a paid test of HeyReach. Where a detail could not be confirmed, the table says so instead of guessing, and where a vendor's own pages disagree with each other we say that too. Tell us if something is out of date at admin@funel.to and we will check it.

Frequently asked questions

Is FUNEL an alternative to HeyReach?

Partly. Both automate LinkedIn invites and messages. HeyReach is built around sending from many sender accounts using leads you bring. FUNEL adds finding and verifying the contacts and email sequences, so it replaces the lead source and the sender in one workspace. If you run dozens of sender accounts for many clients, HeyReach is built for that.

Can I use FUNEL and HeyReach together?

Yes. You can build and enrich a list in FUNEL and export it as a CSV for another tool. Check each tool's terms and limits before you do.

How is the pricing different?

HeyReach prices by the number of senders, including flat fees for larger sender counts, according to its own pages. FUNEL charges by credit with no seat or sender fee. Compare both against your real volumes.

How does FUNEL pricing work?

FUNEL is credit-based. You buy credits yearly (about 15% off), monthly (about 11% off) or pay-as-you-go, and pay-as-you-go credits never expire. Pricing starts from about $2.25 per 500 credits, with a contact costing about 1 to 6 credits depending on how rare the profile is and a fully email-verified lead about 8 credits on a typical list. New accounts get bonus credits with no credit card required.
