Lookalikes with signals. Describe your ideal customer or give your best accounts; the agent finds similar people and companies, with signals such as job changes, hiring, posts and tools mentioned. 2. Campaigns. Give context on your business, customers and tone; the agent drafts the invitations and messages, and runs sends and follow-ups from your account after your review. 3. Dormant conversations. The agent goes back through LinkedIn conversations left without a reply and proposes follow-ups. 4. Dormant network. The agent surfaces first-degree connections you never contacted and proposes how to approach them. 5. Post engagers to prospects. Save or share a LinkedIn post whose audience looks like your buyers; the agent pulls the people who engaged and keeps those who match your ICP. 6. Messy list to contacts. Hand over a rough CSV of companies; the agent matches the ones that exist on LinkedIn and lists the right person to contact at each. ## Questions and answers Q: What is Wannalead? A: Wannalead is a LinkedIn API built for AI agents. You install it once, connect your LinkedIn account through a Chrome extension, and then ask your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client) to find prospects, qualify them and contact them, in plain language. Q: Who is Wannalead for? A: Founders, salespeople and GTM engineers who already work inside an AI agent and want LinkedIn prospecting to happen there, without learning another dashboard. It suits people who prospect from their own LinkedIn account rather than agencies running dozens of sender accounts. Q: What can I do with it? A: Six things come up most: find lookalike profiles and companies with buying signals; run campaigns with invitations, messages and follow-ups; follow up on conversations left without a reply; contact connections you never spoke to; turn the people who engaged with a LinkedIn post into a filtered list; and turn a messy list of companies into the right people to contact. Q: How much does Wannalead cost? A: $30 per month, flat, for one workspace. There are no credits and no top-ups. The 7-day trial is free and needs no credit card. Q: Which AI agents work with Wannalead? A: Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, through the CLI and the MCP server. Anything that can make an HTTPS request can also call the API directly with an API key, including curl and your own scripts. Q: Does Wannalead use my LinkedIn account? A: Yes. Calls run through your own logged-in LinkedIn session in Chrome, through the Wannalead extension, so your password is never shared with us. The trade-off is that Chrome has to be open for actions to run. Q: Is it safe for my LinkedIn account? A: Every write is capped per LinkedIn account: 50 invitations per day and 200 per week, with a soft warning at 180. When a cap is reached the request is refused explicitly instead of being throttled silently, so your agent knows why. No automation tool can guarantee that LinkedIn will never restrict an account; staying at human-scale volumes is what lowers the risk. Q: How fast is it? A: A typical call answers in about three seconds, measured on our production traffic in September 2026. Larger jobs, such as pulling every comment on a post, return several rows per call. Q: How is Wannalead different from PhantomBuster or Waalaxy? A: PhantomBuster and Waalaxy are tools with their own interface, built around automations or sequences that you configure. Wannalead has no dashboard to learn: your AI agent is the interface, it finds the people first (lookalikes, signals, post engagers) and then runs the campaign from your account. Detailed comparisons are at wannalead.co/compare. Q: Does Wannalead work with Sales Navigator? A: Yes, if your LinkedIn account has a Sales Navigator seat. The agent can then run Sales Navigator lead searches and reads through the same API. Q: Does Wannalead integrate with lemlist? A: Yes. If your sequences already live in lemlist, the agent can push a deduplicated, enriched list straight into a lemlist campaign. Using lemlist is optional, since Wannalead can also send LinkedIn invitations and messages itself. Q: What does Wannalead not do? A: It does not run in the cloud without your browser: Chrome must be open. It does not send cold email or find email addresses and phone numbers. It covers LinkedIn, not X, Instagram or Google Maps. And it is not a no-code app: you drive it from an AI agent or code. Q: How do I get started? A: Paste "Set up https://wannalead.co/install" into your AI agent. It installs the CLI, the MCP server and the skills, then opens Chrome so you can sign in and connect the extension. You can also start at wannalead.co/sign-in. ======================================================================== # Wannalead vs PhantomBuster: LinkedIn automation for AI agents Source: https://wannalead.co/compare/phantombuster PhantomBuster is a no-code cloud automation platform that runs "Phantoms" on LinkedIn and many other sites, billed by slots and execution hours. Wannalead is a LinkedIn API that your AI agent drives in plain language, at a flat $30 per month. Pick PhantomBuster for multichannel scraping that runs in the cloud around the clock; pick Wannalead if you work in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor and want LinkedIn prospecting to happen there. ## What PhantomBuster does PhantomBuster offers ready-made automations (Phantoms) for LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, X, Instagram, Google Maps and more. You configure each Phantom, it runs in their cloud, and results come back as CSV or into your CRM. All plans now include an MCP server, so Claude can launch Phantoms. ## Side by side (PhantomBuster prices checked on https://phantombuster.com/pricing, 2026-09-29) - Price: Wannalead: $30/month flat, no credits. PhantomBuster: Start $56/month (5 slots, 20 h of execution), Grow $128 (15 slots, 80 h), Scale $352 (50 slots, 300 h), billed yearly. - Billing model: Wannalead: One flat price per workspace. PhantomBuster: Slots and execution time. - Interface: Wannalead: Your AI agent (CLI, MCP, HTTPS API). PhantomBuster: Web app with Phantom configuration, plus an MCP server. - Speed: Wannalead: About 3 s per call. PhantomBuster: About 1 minute per profile announced for the LinkedIn Profile Scraper. - Your network: Wannalead: Conversations and first-degree connections are queryable, so the agent can re-engage them. PhantomBuster: Exports to CSV. - Runs without your browser: Wannalead: No, Chrome must be open. PhantomBuster: Yes, cloud 24/7. - Channels: Wannalead: LinkedIn. PhantomBuster: LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Google Maps and more. - Email finding: Wannalead: No. PhantomBuster: Yes. ## Choose PhantomBuster if - You need automations that keep running in the cloud with your laptop closed. - You scrape several platforms, not only LinkedIn. - You want email enrichment in the same tool. - Your team prefers a no-code interface to an AI agent. ## Choose Wannalead if - You already work in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor and want LinkedIn prospecting there. - You want a fixed monthly price instead of slots and execution hours. - You want the agent to find the people first (lookalikes, signals, post engagers), then contact them. - You want to re-engage your own conversations and connections, not just export them. ## Questions and answers Q: Is Wannalead a PhantomBuster alternative? A: For LinkedIn, yes. Wannalead covers LinkedIn prospecting, enrichment from LinkedIn, invitations, messages and follow-ups, driven by an AI agent. It does not replace PhantomBuster's other platforms (X, Instagram, Google Maps) or its email finding. Q: Is Wannalead cheaper than PhantomBuster? A: Wannalead is $30 per month flat. PhantomBuster's entry plan is $56 per month billed yearly, with 5 slots and 20 hours of execution, according to their pricing page checked on 29 September 2026. Q: Can Claude use PhantomBuster? A: Yes, PhantomBuster ships an MCP server, so Claude can launch Phantoms. Underneath, each run still uses slots and execution hours. With Wannalead, the agent calls LinkedIn reads and writes directly at a flat price. ======================================================================== # Wannalead vs Waalaxy: AI agent or sequence tool for LinkedIn Source: https://wannalead.co/compare/waalaxy Waalaxy is an easy LinkedIn sequence tool for non-technical users: you import a list, pick a ready-made sequence and it sends. Wannalead is driven by an AI agent that finds and qualifies the people before running the campaign. For around 800 invitations a month, Wannalead is $30 with the inbox included; Waalaxy's matching plan is Advanced at €49 per user. ## What Waalaxy does Waalaxy sends invitation and message sequences to lists you import from LinkedIn search, Sales Navigator or a CSV. It is built for people who have never done outreach before and claims more than 200,000 users. The LinkedIn inbox is a paid add-on beyond 500 free conversations. ## Side by side (Waalaxy prices checked on https://www.waalaxy.com/pricing, 2026-09-29) - Price: Wannalead: $30/month flat per workspace. Waalaxy: Pro €19/user/month (300 invitations/month), Advanced €49 (800/month, API, Make/Zapier/n8n), Business €69 (adds cold email). - Invitation volume: Wannalead: 50/day and 200/week per account, about 800 a month. Waalaxy: 300 or 800 a month depending on plan. - Who finds the leads: Wannalead: The agent: lookalikes, signals, post engagers. Waalaxy: You import them (LinkedIn search, Sales Navigator, CSV). - LinkedIn inbox: Wannalead: Included. Waalaxy: Paid add-on beyond 500 conversations. - Interface: Wannalead: Your AI agent. Waalaxy: Web app and Chrome extension. - Cold email: Wannalead: No. Waalaxy: Business plan. - Free trial: Wannalead: 7 days, no card. Waalaxy: 14 days. ## Choose Waalaxy if - You want the cheapest entry plan and send fewer than 300 invitations a month. - You prefer a visual sequence builder to an AI agent. - You want LinkedIn and cold email in one plan. ## Choose Wannalead if - You want the tool to find the right people, not only send to a list you bring. - You send close to 800 invitations a month and want the inbox included. - You work in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor and want outreach to run from there. ## Questions and answers Q: Is Wannalead cheaper than Waalaxy? A: Not at the entry level: Waalaxy Pro is €19 per user per month for 300 invitations. At around 800 invitations a month, Wannalead is $30 with the inbox included, against €49 per user for Waalaxy Advanced (prices checked 29 September 2026). Q: Can Wannalead import a list like Waalaxy? A: Yes. You can hand your agent a CSV or a list of profile URLs, but the usual flow starts earlier: the agent builds the list from lookalikes, signals or post engagers, then runs the campaign. ======================================================================== # Wannalead vs Gojiberry: two AI approaches to LinkedIn prospecting Source: https://wannalead.co/compare/gojiberry Gojiberry is a ready-made AI sales agent in its own app: you give it your website and it finds, scores and contacts leads by itself, with a copilot mode to approve messages. Wannalead puts LinkedIn inside the agent you already use, so you write your own searches and workflows. Wannalead is $30 per month; Gojiberry Pro is $99. ## What Gojiberry does Gojiberry's agent finds leads from signals and lookalikes, scores them, and reaches out by email and social networks around the clock. Its Pro plan includes two agents and up to 1,800 contacted prospects a month. It also offers an MCP and Claude integration. ## Side by side (Gojiberry prices checked on https://gojiberry.ai, 2026-09-29) - Price: Wannalead: $30/month flat. Gojiberry: Pro $99/month (2 agents, up to 1,800 prospects contacted a month), Custom on quote. - Interface: Wannalead: Your AI agent is the interface. Gojiberry: Gojiberry web app; Claude connects to it. - Lead finding: Wannalead: Lookalikes, signals, post engagers, your network. Gojiberry: Signals and lookalikes. - Control: Wannalead: You compose the searches and workflows. Gojiberry: Turnkey agent, with a copilot approval mode. - Channels: Wannalead: LinkedIn. Gojiberry: Email and social networks. ## Choose Gojiberry if - You want an agent that works on its own from your website, with little setup. - You want email outreach alongside LinkedIn. - You prefer a dedicated app over working in a coding agent. ## Choose Wannalead if - You want to compose your own searches and workflows from your agent. - You want a lower fixed price. - You want to work your own LinkedIn network and conversations, not only new leads. ## Questions and answers Q: Do both tools find lookalikes? A: Yes. Gojiberry's pricing lists signals and lookalikes, and Wannalead finds lookalike profiles and companies. The difference is where you drive it from: Gojiberry's app, or your own AI agent. Q: Does Gojiberry work with Claude? A: Yes, Gojiberry has an MCP and Claude integration, which connects Claude to its app. With Wannalead, the agent itself is the interface and there is no separate app to manage. ======================================================================== # Wannalead vs Tamtam: live LinkedIn prospecting or a weekly lead list Source: https://wannalead.co/compare/tamtam Tamtam builds a list of leads for your sales team: every Monday it delivers accounts similar to your won deals, with verified emails and mobiles, a "why now" and a suggested angle per lead. Wannalead reads LinkedIn live when you ask and goes on to run the campaign from your own account. Tamtam is priced on quote; Wannalead is $30 per month. ## What Tamtam does Tamtam starts from the signals in your won deals, finds similar accounts, verifies emails and mobile numbers, and delivers a list each Monday with a draft message per lead, which can go into your CRM or sequencer. It has no public price; you start with a free run of 50 leads on your domain. ## Side by side (Tamtam prices checked on https://tamtam.ai, 2026-09-29) - Price: Wannalead: $30/month flat. Tamtam: On quote, free first run of 50 leads. - Output: Wannalead: Live results on demand, then the campaign itself. Tamtam: A list and a brief for your sales team, every Monday. - Emails and mobiles: Wannalead: No. Tamtam: Verified emails and mobiles. - Sending on LinkedIn: Wannalead: Invitations, messages and follow-ups from your account. Tamtam: Draft message per lead; sending happens in your own tools. - Interface: Wannalead: Your AI agent. Tamtam: Delivered list, CRM or sequencer export. ## Choose Tamtam if - You want a curated list with verified emails and phone numbers delivered each week. - Your team sends from a CRM or sequencer and only needs the leads and the angle. ## Choose Wannalead if - You want answers the moment you ask, read live from LinkedIn. - You want the same tool to run the LinkedIn campaign from your account. - You want a public, flat price. ## Questions and answers Q: Can I use Tamtam and Wannalead together? A: Yes. Tamtam's list can feed a LinkedIn campaign: give the profile URLs to your agent and Wannalead runs the invitations and messages from your account. ======================================================================== # How to use LinkedIn from Claude Code, Codex or Cursor Source: https://wannalead.co/guides/use-linkedin-from-claude-code Install Wannalead by pasting "Set up https://wannalead.co/install" into your agent, connect your LinkedIn account through the Chrome extension, and the agent can then search, read and (after your approval) send on LinkedIn from your own account. It works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and any MCP client. ## Why agents can't use LinkedIn on their own LinkedIn has no public API for prospecting: no people search, no post engagers, no messaging. Browsing tools built into agents get blocked or logged out quickly, and handing an agent your password is a bad idea. Wannalead solves this by routing calls through your own logged-in Chrome session, via an extension. The agent talks to a documented HTTPS API, gets structured JSON back, and never sees your credentials. ## Setup in three steps - Paste the setup line into your agent. It installs the wannalead CLI, the MCP server and the skills. - Sign in at wannalead.co, create your workspace and connect the Chrome extension to your LinkedIn account. - Give the agent your API key when it asks. Its first call is "wannalead me", which checks who you are on LinkedIn. Prompt: "Set up https://wannalead.co/install" ## What you can ask next Once connected, you describe the job and the agent picks the endpoints. A few prompts that work as written: - Find heads of sales who started a new role in the last 30 days at SaaS companies in Paris, and save them as a list. - Take my 10 best customers, find lookalike companies, and pull the decision-makers at each. - Pull everyone who engaged with this post and keep the CTOs and VPs matching my ICP. ## What the agent will not do on its own The Wannalead skills tell the agent to show you every invitation and message and wait for your go-ahead before sending. On top of that, each LinkedIn account is capped at 50 invitations a day and 200 a week. When a cap is hit the API says so, rather than slowing down silently. ## Questions and answers Q: Does it work with ChatGPT or other MCP clients? A: Any client that supports MCP servers can connect, and anything that can make HTTPS requests can call the API with an API key. Q: Does Chrome need to stay open? A: Yes. Calls go through your logged-in LinkedIn session in Chrome, so Chrome has to be open for them to run. ======================================================================== # How to find lookalike profiles and companies on LinkedIn Source: https://wannalead.co/guides/find-lookalike-linkedin-profiles Give your agent a handful of reference profiles or companies, usually your best customers, and ask it to find lookalikes. With Wannalead it reads LinkedIn live, returns similar people or companies, and can add signals such as recent job changes, hiring or posts so you know who to contact first. ## Why lookalikes beat filters A filter search returns exactly what you managed to describe: job title, industry, headcount. A lookalike search starts from people you already know are a fit and finds those who resemble them, including the ones your filters would have missed. ## How to run it Pick five to ten reference accounts that are clearly good customers, not just big logos. Ask for lookalike companies first, then the decision-makers at each, and say which roles count. Prompt: "Take my 10 best customers, find lookalike companies, and pull the decision-makers at each." ## Add signals to rank the list A long lookalike list is only useful once it's sorted. Ask the agent to flag people who changed jobs recently, companies that are hiring for the role your product helps, and people who posted about the problem you solve. - Job changes: new leaders review their tools in their first months. - Hiring: an open role often means a budget and a pain. - Posts and comments: people telling you what they care about. ## Questions and answers Q: Can it find lookalike people, not only companies? A: Yes. Wannalead has lookalike endpoints for both profiles and companies. ======================================================================== # How to turn the people who engaged with a LinkedIn post into prospects Source: https://wannalead.co/guides/prospect-linkedin-post-engagers Find a post whose audience looks like your buyers, such as a competitor launch or an industry debate. Give the post URL to your agent: Wannalead pulls the people who engaged with it, the agent keeps those matching your ICP, and you can contact them from your account with a message that refers to the post. ## Why post engagers convert Someone who comments on a post about your problem has just told you what they care about, this week. That list exists nowhere else: no contact database sells it, because it only exists live on LinkedIn. ## How to run it Save the post on LinkedIn or copy its URL. Then describe who you want to keep. Prompt: "Pull everyone who engaged with this competitor launch post and keep the CTOs and VPs matching my ICP." ## Write the first message Refer to what the person actually said or reacted to, not to the fact that you scraped a post. Keep it short, and review the drafts before anything is sent. ## Questions and answers Q: Can I use my saved posts? A: Yes. The agent can read your saved LinkedIn posts, so saving a post is enough to queue it for prospecting. ======================================================================== # How to re-engage your dormant LinkedIn network Source: https://wannalead.co/guides/reengage-dormant-linkedin-network Most LinkedIn accounts hold hundreds of first-degree connections nobody ever messaged, and conversations that stopped mid-way. Wannalead makes your connections and conversations queryable, so your agent can list who fits your ICP, who never heard from you and who never got a reply, and draft follow-ups for your review. ## Two lists you already own - Connections never contacted: people who accepted your invitation and never heard from you again. - Dormant conversations: threads where the last message is theirs, or yours from weeks ago. ## How to run it Ask the agent to cross your connections with your conversations and keep the ones that match your ICP. Prompt: "List my first-degree connections who match my ICP and I have never messaged, then the conversations where I never answered." ## Follow up without sounding automated A warm contact deserves a message that picks up where things stopped. Have the agent quote the last exchange, keep it to two or three sentences, and approve each one before it goes out. ## Questions and answers Q: Do I need to export my connections first? A: No. Wannalead reads your connections and conversations from your account; there is no CSV export step. ======================================================================== # LinkedIn invitation limits in 2026: how many can you send safely? Source: https://wannalead.co/guides/linkedin-invitation-limits LinkedIn does not publish an official number, and the limit varies by account. Wannalead enforces 50 invitations per day and 200 per week per LinkedIn account, with a warning at 180, and refuses the request explicitly once a cap is reached. ## What LinkedIn says LinkedIn limits how many invitations an account can send each week, but it doesn't publish the figure, and it changes with account age, activity and how many invitations are left pending. Accounts that send many invitations nobody accepts tend to hit restrictions sooner. ## The caps Wannalead enforces Caps apply per LinkedIn account, shared between direct API calls and campaigns, so two campaigns can't double your volume. - 50 invitations per day. - 200 invitations per week, with a soft warning at 180. - A refused request says which cap was hit, so the agent can reschedule instead of retrying blindly. ## How to keep acceptance high Target fewer, better people: lookalikes of your customers, people who engaged with a relevant post, recent job changes. A higher acceptance rate is better for your account than a higher volume. ## Questions and answers Q: Can I raise Wannalead's limits? A: No. The caps are the same for every account and exist to keep volumes at a human scale. Q: Does a tool guarantee my account is safe? A: No tool can guarantee that. Staying under conservative caps, sending to relevant people and writing real messages is what lowers the risk. ======================================================================== # How to turn a messy list of companies into LinkedIn contacts Source: https://wannalead.co/guides/company-list-to-linkedin-contacts Hand your agent the CSV as it is, with typos, missing domains and duplicates. Wannalead resolves each name to a LinkedIn company page, flags the ones it can't match, then lists the employees in the roles you care about at each company. ## Why the list is messy Event attendee lists, association directories and old spreadsheets rarely have clean company names. Matching them by hand is slow, and a wrong match means messaging the wrong company. ## How to run it Give the file and the roles you want. Ask for the unmatched rows to be listed separately so you can check them. Prompt: "Here is a CSV of family offices. Match each one to its LinkedIn company page, list the ones you couldn't match, and find the investment director or partner at each." ## Questions and answers Q: Does it find emails too? A: No. Wannalead returns LinkedIn profiles. If you need emails, push the list to an enrichment tool or to lemlist.
