Leaving HeyReach?
Common questions.
Straight answers, with the plan or help article behind each one.
Open the help centerAny tool that automates LinkedIn activity deserves caution. LinkedIn prohibits third-party software that automates activity on its website, so teams should review the policy and their account-risk tolerance before connecting sender accounts.
Yes, for every sender account you connect. Embers operates independently - no login, no cookies, no account access - and that stays true when the two are connected. Embers pushes leads to HeyReach, and HeyReach does the sending; the sender accounts remain HeyReach's side of the line.
HeyReach has a Growth plan for individual senders and small teams, starting at $79 per sender each month for fewer than 10 senders. It is most useful when the team specifically needs automated outreach. Embers starts at $49/mo total for warm-signal qualification and manual follow-up.
When the problem is who to contact rather than how to contact them at volume. Embers identifies warm leads from public LinkedIn engagement with no LinkedIn account access and no multi-account rotation. If you keep HeyReach for sending, Embers is a native destination: connect one HeyReach workspace and push qualified leads into a campaign with the signal, the ICP reason, and the score attached.
