Side by side, feature by feature
| Feature | Reachium | Kennected |
|---|---|---|

Automated multi-step campaigns Both do connection requests plus follow-ups. Reachium ships 8 campaign types including Intent, Engagement, Network and Lead Magnet, with AI copy and A/B testing. | 8 campaign types | Sequences + reply detection |
Unified inbox across accounts Kennected had a response inbox tab. Reachium unifies replies across every connected account with AI classification, meeting detection and reminders. | All accounts, AI classification | Response inbox |
Multi-account management Kennected priced per user/seat. Reachium is built to run and warm multiple LinkedIn accounts under one workspace from $99/account, dropping to $79 at 10 accounts and $50 at 100. | Per-user seats | |
Inbound AI content engine Kennected could automate posting/engagement. Reachium adds an AI content generator, a content calendar and profile optimization to pull inbound demand. | 4-bucket generator + calendar | Post scheduling |
Lead-magnet builder + hosting Reachium builds and hosts lead magnets, detects trigger keywords on post comments, and auto-delivers the asset by DM. No Kennected source documents a comment-trigger auto-DM capability. | Builder + hosting + trigger keywords | |
Built-in booking / meeting capture Kennected relied on external calendar/booking integrations. Reachium detects booking intent in the inbox and surfaces meetings and reminders natively. | Native meeting detection | Via calendar integration |
Network CRM Kennected relied on HubSpot/Salesforce integrations. Reachium has a built-in network CRM with contact cards, tags, notes, relationship history and lead scoring. | Contact cards, tags, scoring | Via HubSpot/Salesforce |
Native email automation Kennected's Advanced tier added email automation. Reachium is LinkedIn-only and does not send email. | Advanced tier | |

Done-For-You managed service Kennected leaned on hands-on onboarding and account managers. Reachium offers a fully managed Done-For-You tier on the same platform. | Managed tier (talk to us) | Onboarding consulting |
Reachium vs Kennected
The differences that matter
Cloud API vs a tool LinkedIn told to stop
This is the whole game. Reachium runs on the cloud LinkedIn API. Kennected ran cloud automation and got a cease-and-desist from LinkedIn on December 9, 2022 for scraping member data and automating mass, inauthentic activity. Users reported account restrictions when running high-volume automation, a risk LinkedIn's cease-and-desist against Kennected made explicit. Avoiding a pattern LinkedIn has litigated against is not a close call when your sales pipeline lives on your profile.
Kennected was sold off. Reachium keeps shipping LinkedIn.
Kennected sold to BUZZ USA in 2024, rebranded to SalesAi, and turned into an inbound AI voice-agent product. Both kennected.org and kennected.io now 301-redirect to salesai.com, and the original LinkedIn tool wound down. Buying a sunset product means no roadmap, no new features, and migration pain later. Reachium is built only for LinkedIn pipeline and ships outbound, inbound content, inbox, booking and CRM updates on one platform you can count on next quarter.
One platform for outbound and inbound, not just sequences
Kennected was an outreach sequencer with bolt-on posting plus HubSpot and external calendar integrations. Reachium fuses outbound and inbound in one place. You run AI connection campaigns, then feed the same audience with an AI content engine, a lead-magnet builder that builds and hosts lead magnets and auto-delivers the asset by DM on a trigger keyword, native meeting capture and a network CRM. Fewer tools, fewer Zapier hops, one workspace where outreach and content compound.
Transparent per-account pricing, cancel anytime
Kennected's higher-touch model layered a $1,497 onboarding fee on top of monthly plans, and users complained about hidden fees, refund denials and being billed after cancelling. Reachium is $99 per LinkedIn account per month, $79 on annual billing, and the rate steps down to $79 at ten accounts, $65 at fifty and $50 at a hundred, all of it published on the pricing page. No contract, cancel anytime, data exportable for 30 days. You scale by adding accounts, not by negotiating a setup fee or fighting a billing department.
Multi-account at scale with built-in warmup
Kennected priced per user seat and centered one operator. Reachium is built for running many LinkedIn accounts from one workspace, with account warmup, a unified inbox across every account, AI reply classification, and optional rented pre-warmed accounts at $150/mo plus an extra seat on your plan, each shipping with a dedicated proxy and a four-week warmup. The per-account rate also steps down once you pass ten, fifty and a hundred accounts, so scale gets cheaper per profile rather than dearer. Agencies and teams running multiple profiles get throttling, scheduling and one inbox instead of seat sprawl.
How much does Kennected cost vs Reachium?

|---|---|---|
| 1-9 accounts | $99/mo | $79/mo |

Per LinkedIn account. The whole seat count is billed at the tier it lands in. 500 AI credits per account per month included.
$99 per LinkedIn account/month, or $79 on annual billing, with the per-account rate dropping at volume: $79/mo at 10+ accounts, $65 at 50+, $50 at 100+. 500 AI credits per account/month, cancel anytime, no contract, data exportable 30 days on cancel. Add-ons: rented pre-warmed accounts $150/mo plus an extra seat on your plan (dedicated proxy + 4-week warmup), extra AI credit packs from $5, and a Done-For-You managed tier (talk to us).
Kennected pricing
Kennected's LinkedIn tool ran two historical pricing models, both now defunct. Documented subscription tiers were around Professional $59.95, Grow $89.95 and Ultimate $115.95 per user/month. A separate higher-touch structure layered a $1,497 onboarding fee plus $107/mo (Basic) or $197/mo (Advanced, which added email automation and 250 enrichment credits). The product has since been sold and rebranded to SalesAi (inbound AI voice agents) and is no longer offered as a standalone LinkedIn tool, so live LinkedIn pricing is not publicly maintained.
Kennected pricing verified June 2026. We make Reachium, so we’re biased — this is the honest breakdown.
Where Reachium wins
- Runs through a cloud API, not the kind of automation LinkedIn issued a cease-and-desist against
- Actively operated and shipping for LinkedIn, while Kennected redirected to salesai.com and was rebranded to an inbound AI voice product
- Bundles inbound AI content, lead-magnet DM campaigns, native booking and a network CRM, not just outreach sequences
- Published per-account pricing from $99, dropping to $79 at 10 accounts and $50 at 100, cancel anytime, no $1,497 onboarding fee and no after-cancel billing complaints
- Built for multi-account scale with warmup, unified inbox and optional rented pre-warmed accounts
- Optional Done-For-You managed tier on the same platform for teams that want it run for them
Pick Reachium if
You want a LinkedIn outreach platform that is actively built, runs on the cloud LinkedIn API, and bundles inbound content, lead-magnet DMs, booking and a CRM with published per-account pricing that gets cheaper as you add accounts.
When Kennected is the better choice
If you specifically want heavy white-glove, done-with-you onboarding plus 1:1 sales coaching baked in, Kennected's old model was genuinely strong there. Its consulting, dedicated account managers and Lead Flow Mastery training (80+ videos) were the most praised part of the product. But that tool no longer sells as a LinkedIn platform. It was sold and became SalesAi, an inbound AI voice-agent product, so for live LinkedIn pipeline Reachium is the working default, and its Done-For-You tier covers the managed-service need on the cloud API.
Pick Kennected if
You are evaluating SalesAi's inbound AI voice agents (per third-party listings, also email and SMS) rather than LinkedIn outreach, since that is what Kennected became after the sale.
Switching from Kennected to Reachium
Moving off Kennected is mostly forced now that both its domains redirect to SalesAi and the LinkedIn tool wound down. Export your prospect lists and message templates, connect your LinkedIn accounts to Reachium on the cloud API, rebuild sequences as campaigns, and let the unified inbox and CRM take over from there.
