Introduction
LinkedIn remains one of the best platforms for outbound sales and B2B lead generation. Tools like Botdog and Linked Helper aim to automate outreach so you can connect with more leads, faster. If you’re a founder, SDR, or part of a growth team, this comparison is for you.
In this article, we break down Botdog and Linked Helper side by side. Both help you send connection requests and follow-ups on autopilot. But they differ in how they run (cloud vs desktop), who they’re built for (teams vs individuals), and how easy they are to use. We’ll help you figure out which tool makes more sense for your goals, your team, and your workflow.
TL;DR Summary
Botdog is a cloud-based LinkedIn automation tool built for simplicity and safety
It runs 24/7 in the background (no browser or device needed), and is designed for individual users and small teams. It offers multi-account support, message sequences, and AI filters to keep your outreach relevant. Pricing starts at $29.99/month, with discounts for teams and annual plans. Botdog includes all features by default — no confusing upgrades. It’s ideal for users who want something that just works out of the box, without tech headaches.
Linked Helper is a downloadable desktop app for automating LinkedIn actions
It offers more technical flexibility and deeper control — you can automate profile views, endorsements, and complex workflows. But it runs only when your computer is on, and team use requires juggling installs and licenses. Plans start around $8/month (billed annually), making it appealing for solo users on a tight budget. Best if you’re comfortable with technical setup and want maximum control.
