Comparison
FollowArc vs HeyReach
FollowArc is an autonomous AI sales agent that runs LinkedIn + email outreach, sorts and ranks every reply, drafts in your voice, and books meetings — with a trust ladder, undo, and killswitch so you stay in control. HeyReach automates LinkedIn outreach at agency scale — running connection requests and messages across multiple LinkedIn accounts. In March 2026, LinkedIn removed HeyReach's company page and restricted several of its executives' personal profiles over its automation approach; HeyReach says customer accounts and campaigns kept running normally.
