Why Teams Switch
Why teams leave Closely
Datacenter IPs put your account at risk
Closely runs LinkedIn automation through cloud-based datacenter proxies — the same IP ranges that LinkedIn actively monitors and flags. Teams report a 4-8% account restriction rate with Closely. Infonet's InfoProxy routes through your actual home IP address, making your automation indistinguishable from normal LinkedIn usage. The result: a near-zero ban rate across thousands of accounts.
~0% ban rate with Infonet vs 4-8% with Closely$59/month minimum is expensive for what you get
Closely charges $59/month for their Personal plan, $79/month for Growth, and $99/month for Pro — per LinkedIn account. For a team of 10 sales reps, that's $7,080-$11,880 per year just for LinkedIn automation and basic email. Infonet is available starting at $39/mo per account — simple per-account pricing, no account limits, no feature gates. The money you save can go toward hiring another SDR.
Save $2,400-7,200/year for a 10-person teamLinkedIn + Email only limits your outreach potential
Closely supports LinkedIn and email, but modern outreach requires more channels. Infonet lets you build sequences across LinkedIn, Email, WhatsApp, SMS, and Telegram — all from one platform. When a prospect doesn't respond on LinkedIn, your sequence automatically follows up on WhatsApp or email, increasing your reply rates by 2-3x compared to two-channel outreach.

How Infonet compares
Home IP Routing
InfoProxy is a small hardware device that sits on your network and routes all LinkedIn activity through your residential IP. LinkedIn sees your activity coming from a normal home connection, not a datacenter. This is why Infonet users experience near-zero account restrictions — your automation looks exactly like manual browsing.
5-Channel Outreach
Go beyond LinkedIn and email. Infonet sequences span LinkedIn connections, Email follow-ups, WhatsApp messages, SMS nudges, and Telegram outreach. Build truly multi-channel campaigns that meet prospects wherever they are, dramatically increasing your response rates compared to Closely's two-channel approach.
Cost at Scale
With Closely, 10 accounts on their Personal plan cost $590/month ($7,080/year). On their Pro plan, that's $990/month ($11,880/year). Infonet is from $39/mo per account. Whether you're running 5 or 500 LinkedIn profiles, your per-account cost stays the same — with no feature restrictions at any scale.
Cloud vs Cloud
Both Infonet and Closely are cloud-based, so your campaigns run 24/7 without keeping your computer on. But Infonet adds the safety layer that Closely lacks: dedicated residential proxies for each profile. You get the convenience of cloud with the safety of home IP routing — the best of both worlds.

Real Story
Why Rachel's team switched
We switched from Closely and never looked back. Managing 30 accounts used to cost us $2,400/month — now it's a fraction of the cost. The home IP feature means zero restrictions. Our team was skeptical at first, but the results speak for themselves.
