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.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
