Alternatives
Comparing Conextly to the rest of the market.
Most tools do one thing: search, or sequencing, or a CRM. Conextly is the layer that connects all three — with a human in the loop.

Where each category falls short
A quick map of the tools people usually stack together, and what they leave out.
Search tools
Great at finding people. No memory of who you already know.
Automation tools
Fast, unattended, and the reason accounts get restricted.
Generic CRMs
Built for deals in flight, not thousands of dormant relationships.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
It depends on the job. Sales Navigator is a search and lead-list tool. Conextly is an alternative for people who also need a relationship CRM, job-change and buying signals, an email finder and AI-drafted outreach that a human approves before anything is sent.
Is Conextly a LinkedIn automation tool?
No. Conextly never sends messages unattended. Every message waits in an approval queue until you edit and approve it, which keeps your LinkedIn account outside the automation patterns that trigger restrictions.
Do I still need a CRM alongside Conextly?
Conextly covers relationship management for your network and exports to HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce or CSV, so deals you close can continue in whatever CRM your team already runs.
How is Conextly different from generic outreach tools?
Outreach tools optimise for volume against cold lists. Conextly starts from people you already know or have a path to, adds context from your history and signals, and prioritises the small number of messages most likely to get a reply.
