The Waalaxy alternative for your own AI agent

Waalaxy is one of the easiest ways to start LinkedIn prospecting: pick a sequence, import prospects, and it sends the invitations and follow-ups. It now also sells Waalaxy AI, its own agent that prospects for you. Both are about reaching new people on LinkedIn. If you are building or running your own AI agent — in Claude, Grok or your code — and it needs to answer people on LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, you need the connection to those accounts. That is what Spaces is.

Every Waalaxy fact below comes from Waalaxy's own website and developer docs, checked on 11 November 2026. Where Waalaxy is the better choice, we say so.

Two different products, one sentence each

• Waalaxy is a LinkedIn-first prospecting tool: campaigns of invitations and automated follow-ups from pre-built sequences, prospect imports from LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite, cold email on its Business plan, and a LinkedIn Inbox add-on, priced per user — plus Waalaxy AI, an agent that finds prospects, writes each message and handles the conversations, priced per LinkedIn account. (pricing, Waalaxy AI)
• Spaces is messaging infrastructure for AI agents: one REST API and one MCP server that let the agent you already use — Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own code — read and reply to conversations on the Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Messenger accounts a business already has, inside each platform's limits, priced per connected account. (pricing, llms.txt)

The short version: Waalaxy finds and contacts new prospects on LinkedIn. Spaces lets your own agent hold the conversations, on LinkedIn and three other chat apps.

Spaces vs Waalaxy, head to head

Price assumption: a solo founder with one LinkedIn profile, then a team of five. Waalaxy prices classic plans per user and Waalaxy AI per connected LinkedIn account; quarterly (–20%) and yearly (up to –50%) billing are cheaper, and teams of 5+ can ask about Enterprise volume discounts, but those figures are built in the page's price switcher and are not quoted here. Spaces prices are from spacesos.com/pricing (USD); Waalaxy prices are from waalaxy.com/pricing (EUR) and waalaxy.com/waalaxy-ai (USD). All checked 11 November 2026, excluding tax. Waalaxy AI's price includes its own AI agent; Spaces' price does not include the cost of the AI model your agent runs on.

This is not a like-for-like price. Waalaxy's plans buy a prospecting system — sequences, imports from Sales Navigator, email finder credits, cold email on Business, and with Waalaxy AI an agent that does the prospecting for you. Spaces does not include or run any of that. Spaces' price buys accounts your own agent can work across four chat apps, mostly answering people who wrote first.

Where the difference shows up

1. Prospecting vs conversations people started

Waalaxy is about reaching new people: "Build and launch outreach campaigns directly from real, up-to-date profiles", with invitation quotas per month, pre-built sequences and automated follow-ups. Waalaxy AI goes further: "Share your website, and the agent works out who buys from you", then finds prospects, writes a message for each one and follows up. (pricing, Waalaxy AI)

Spaces is built for the other side: answering the people who message a business, following up with people who know it and stopping as soon as they reply, and handing over to a person when needed. Its own guidance says not to use it for "cold outreach at scale, bulk unsolicited messages, or bought or scraped contact lists", and on LinkedIn it "does not send bulk unsolicited messages or build lists of strangers to contact". (llms.txt)

If finding and contacting new LinkedIn prospects is the job, choose Waalaxy.

2. Their agent vs your agent

Waalaxy AI is a finished agent: you share your website and connect LinkedIn, and it sources prospects, reads profiles, writes and sends messages and manages replies, with a choice to approve every message, some of them, or let it run on autopilot. You can steer it from Claude or ChatGPT through its MCP server. (Waalaxy AI)

Spaces does not supply the agent. It is the layer your own agent uses — the one you built, with your prompts, your tools and your data — to read and answer conversations on the chat accounts. That suits developers and AI builders who already have an agent and need it to reach WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn and Messenger. It also means Spaces' price does not cover the model: you pay your AI provider separately. (llms.txt, pricing)

3. Two MCP servers, very different reach

Waalaxy's MCP server (https://stargate.prod.aws.waalaxy.com/api/mcp, OAuth sign-in by magic link) is on the Advanced and Business plans. Its tools list your prospect lists and campaigns and import LinkedIn prospects into a list, optionally enrolling them in a campaign. It does not list tools to read or send messages. Waalaxy is also a built-in connector in Claude and ChatGPT. (MCP docs)

Spaces' MCP is built for an agent that does the messaging: read chats, reply, start a chat where allowed, schedule a message for a local time, and run routines triggered by a new message, a keyword, an accepted connection or no reply after N hours. Turn approvals on or use a draft-only key and sends wait for a person; one call pauses every send at once. It is on every plan, including Free. (llms.txt, pricing)

Rule of thumb: Waalaxy's MCP feeds prospects into Waalaxy campaigns. Spaces' MCP lets your agent hold the conversations.

4. LinkedIn only vs four chat apps

Waalaxy is LinkedIn-first, with email on the Business plan. WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger are not listed on the pages we checked. (pricing)

Spaces gives one agent the inboxes on Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Messenger, plus TikTok for posts and comments, through one API and one MCP server (/mcp, or /mcp/whatsapp, /mcp/instagram, /mcp/linkedin, /mcp/messenger). Facebook Pages is coming soon. Email is not a live Spaces channel, so if you need email sequences, Waalaxy Business covers that and Spaces does not. (llms.txt)

On WhatsApp, Spaces links the number you already use by QR code, the way you link WhatsApp on a computer, and Spaces says there is no Meta approval, no message templates and no Meta message fees on that connection, and the number keeps working on your phone (Spaces WhatsApp API page). A new WhatsApp chat only goes to someone who has messaged the number before or is marked opted in. (limits)

5. Limits that protect the account

Waalaxy sets invitation quotas by plan: 300 a month on Pro and 800 on Advanced and Business. (pricing)

Spaces sets LinkedIn limits by plan: up to 100 messages a day at least 20 seconds apart (replies to people who wrote in have no daily limit), 100 new chats a day, and connection requests at 100 a day and 150 a week on a free LinkedIn account, or 100 a day and 200 a week on Premium, Sales Navigator or Recruiter. For up to 24 hours after a WhatsApp account connects, reconnects, or is disconnected and connected again, Spaces does not start new chats or outreach. Replies in chats that already exist still go out. Other channels have no reply-only window: the warm-up limits apply from the first day, and replies to people who wrote in go out immediately. This lowers the risk of a platform restricting an account; it does not remove it. (llms.txt, LinkedIn API, safety)

6. Pricing: per user or per account

Waalaxy is €19 (Pro), €49 (Advanced) or €69 (Business) a user a month billed monthly, with a 14-day free trial; quarterly and yearly billing are cheaper (annual saves "up to 50%"). The LinkedIn Inbox is an optional €20 a month add-on. Waalaxy AI is $80 a month per LinkedIn account on a launch offer (listed from $100), with unlimited users and 800 prospects a month. (pricing, Waalaxy AI)

Spaces has a Free plan — $0, no card, 1 connected account and 50 actions a day (sending stops until midnight at the limit; reading keeps working; no sequences or webhooks). Pay as you go is $9 per connected account a month, prorated, with 1,000 actions per account pooled across the workspace, then $5 per 1,000 ($4 above 100,000 extra, $3 above 1,000,000). Reading is always free, and you can set a monthly usage cap ($25 suggested). An action is a send, reply, new chat, post, comment, like, follow, invitation or profile lookup. (pricing)

Choose Spaces if

• You already have, or are building, your own AI agent and need it to reach real chat accounts.
• Your conversations happen on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger as well as LinkedIn.
• Most of your messages are replies and follow-ups to people who know you: inbound leads, applicants, customers, post commenters.
• You want one MCP server that can read and send across those accounts, with limits, warm-up, approvals and a pause switch built in.
• You want a Free plan to start.

Stay with Waalaxy if

• You want to prospect on LinkedIn: invitations and follow-ups to people who don't know you yet. Waalaxy is built for that; Spaces is not.
• You are new to outreach and want pre-built sequences and in-product guidance.
• You want cold email in the same campaigns (Business).
• You would rather buy a finished prospecting agent (Waalaxy AI) than run your own.

Some teams will use both: Waalaxy to start conversations with new prospects, Spaces for an agent that answers the replies, inbound messages and the other chat apps.

FAQ

What is the best Waalaxy alternative for an AI agent?
If you have your own agent and it should answer people on LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, Spaces is the closest fit: one API and one MCP server, priced per account. If you want another LinkedIn prospecting tool, Expandi and HeyReach are the nearer swaps.

Does Waalaxy have an MCP server?
Yes, on the Advanced and Business plans, at https://stargate.prod.aws.waalaxy.com/api/mcp. Its tools list prospect lists and campaigns and import LinkedIn prospects. (MCP docs)

Will connecting an AI agent get my LinkedIn account restricted?
Every platform has its own rules. Spaces keeps each account inside daily limits, paces activity and warms new accounts up over four weeks. That lowers the risk but cannot remove it. See sending limits and account safety.
