Why Teams Switch
Why teams leave Instantly
Email-first means LinkedIn is an afterthought
Instantly was built for cold email — their LinkedIn automation features are basic and secondary. If LinkedIn outreach is a core part of your go-to-market strategy, you're using a tool that wasn't designed for it. Infonet is LinkedIn-first with deep automation: connection requests, message sequences, InMail, profile visits, and post engagement — all with home IP safety via InfoProxy.
Full LinkedIn automation vs basic LinkedIn with Instantly$30/month minimum adds up fast
Instantly's Growth plan starts at $30/month per account, and the Hypergrowth and Light Speed plans climb to $77.60 and $286.30/month respectively. For a team of 10 reps on the Growth plan, that's $3,600/year — and if you need advanced features, it's $9,312-$34,356/year. Infonet is available starting at $39/mo per account with simple per-account pricing, no account limits, and no feature gates.
Save $29,640/year for a 10-person teamMissing channels limit your outreach potential
Instantly supports email and basic LinkedIn, but modern outreach requires more touchpoints. Infonet lets you build sequences across LinkedIn, Email, WhatsApp, SMS, and Telegram — all from one platform. When a prospect doesn't respond to your cold email, your sequence automatically follows up on LinkedIn or WhatsApp, increasing your reply rates by 2-3x compared to email-only 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. Unlike Instantly's shared email infrastructure, Infonet ensures your LinkedIn automation looks exactly like normal browsing. The result: a near-zero ban rate across thousands of accounts.
5-Channel Outreach
Go beyond email and basic LinkedIn. 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 Instantly's email-first approach.
Data Enrichment Included
Instantly charges extra credits for their B2B lead database and data enrichment. Infonet includes 13+ data enrichment providers built-in at no additional cost — find emails, phone numbers, company data, and technographics without paying per lead or per lookup.
LinkedIn-First vs Email-First
Instantly excels at email warmup and deliverability, but LinkedIn automation is secondary. Infonet was built for LinkedIn from the ground up — with deep automation features, home IP routing, and smart activity limits. If LinkedIn is central to your outreach, Infonet is purpose-built for it while still supporting email and three additional channels.
