What does Valley do, and how much does Valley cost?
Valley is an AI outbound tool that finds prospects, researches them, writes messages in your voice and sends them from your LinkedIn account. Valley costs $199, $299 or $499 per seat a month, billed monthly, with credits on top for finding prospects and emails.
| Valley plan | Price, billed monthly | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $199 per seat a month | LinkedIn only. Email sending is an add-on |
| Plus | $299 per seat a month | 1,000 emails a month, email enrichment, onboarding |
| Growth | $499 per seat a month | Everything in Plus, and $300 in extra credits a month |
From Valley's pricing page, checked on 13 November 2026. Credits pay for finding new prospects, finding and verifying email addresses, and upgraded message generation. The trial is 7 days, and a payment method is required.
Why do teams look for a Valley alternative?
Teams look for a Valley alternative when the per-seat price, the credits on top or the limit of five watched profiles do not fit how they work, or when they want to send with their own tool. The reasons below come from Valley's own pages, not from reviews.
| Reason | What Valley does | Alternatives that answer it |
|---|---|---|
| Seat price | $199, $299 or $499 per seat a month | Ziplined Team and Jungler: one price, unlimited users |
| Seats plus credits | Each seat is paid, and prospects, emails and upgraded messages use credits on top | Ziplined: no seat price. Credits only, one per post, like, comment, profile view or new follower |
| Five profiles | Up to 5 competitor or industry expert profiles at a time | Ziplined: add as many profiles as your credits cover. Traxy: unlimited profiles |
| You already have an outreach tool | Valley writes and sends from your own LinkedIn account | Ziplined and Jungler only find people. Your outreach tool sends |

One Ziplined credit is one thing Ziplined collects: a post, a like or comment on it, a profile view or a new follower. Every item collected costs a credit, including those from people who do not fit; only the people who fit your ideal client become Leads.
3,000 credits (Solo) is for example 30 posts with 99 reactions each a month. Valley charges per seat and spends credits on prospects, emails and messages, so the two prices buy different things.

How does Ziplined work as a Valley alternative?
Ziplined is a LinkedIn Lead Radar. It finds people who engage with your team, your competitors and your market, keeps the ones who fit your ideal client, and sends them to your tools while you sleep.
Add the competitor and expert profiles you tracked in Valley.
Add your own and your team's profiles too. Keep "Include the past week" on (the default), so your first list is not empty.
Confirm your ideal client sentence.
One sentence that describes who you sell to; Ziplined suggests it from your website, for example "Founders and heads of sales at software companies with 11 to 200 people in the Netherlands and Belgium." Only people who fit it become Leads.
Pick where Leads go.
Slack, email or CSV on Solo. HeyReach, Clay, Google Sheets and webhooks on Team, from $99 a month.
When you add a profile, Ziplined reads its last 7 days right away, so the first names arrive within minutes. After that it checks every night from 02:05 UTC, and the optional extension adds profile viewers, new followers and new connections up to twice a day. An hourly alert sends whatever came in since the last one.
Each colleague can add the Chrome extension. The extension is optional. Ziplined itself takes no action on LinkedIn, and the extension only reads profile viewers, new followers and new connections; it never likes, comments, connects or sends.
On a free LinkedIn account LinkedIn shows only your 3 most recent viewers, so that is what the extension can read; the full list needs LinkedIn Premium.

What do you keep when you switch from Valley to Ziplined?
You keep post engagers, profile viewers, followers and the check against your ideal client. You lose company page visitors, job change, hiring and funding signals, the unified inbox and messages written for you.

| Profile viewers | Yes, Chrome extension, one per colleague |
| LinkedIn followers | Yes, new followers and new connections, through the extension |
| ICP scoring | No score: a yes or no against your ideal client sentence, and filters on your saved lists |
| AI agents (MCP) | Yes, through MCP, the standard way AI agents connect to tools: Claude, ChatGPT, Grok Bot (xAI's agent app), Cursor and Codex, on every plan |
| HubSpot | Coming soon |
| Company page visitors, job changes, hiring, funding | No |
| Messages written in your voice | No, by design. Your outreach tool or AI agent writes |
| LinkedIn campaigns and unified inbox | No, by design. HeyReach sends on Team, from $99 a month |
Should you choose Ziplined or another Valley alternative?
Choose Ziplined if you pay for several Valley seats and send with your own tool. Choose Gojiberry or Traxy, or stay with Valley, if you want one tool that writes and sends.
| Choose another tool if | |
|---|---|
| You want logins for the whole team at one price (Team, from $99 a month) and send with your own tool | You want one tool that finds people and sends the messages (Gojiberry, Traxy, or stay with Valley) |
| You already send with HeyReach or Clay (Team, from $99 a month), or work from Slack | You need job changes, hiring or funding signals (stay with Valley) |
| You want profile viewers, new followers and new connections in one list | You need a work email on every person today (Jungler, Traxy, Gojiberry) |
| You want to start this week at $49 a month | You want keyword searches across LinkedIn posts (Jungler) |
What Ziplined is not
Ziplined does not send LinkedIn messages, connection requests or emails, and does not write posts. It hands the people it finds to your tools, and your outreach tool sends.
