Closely details read from its pricing page, home page, product and legal pages and help centre on 21 October 2026.

Warmerly

A shared daily budget per account: 10 invitations a day and 50 a week on a standard account, ramped over 15 days.

Closely

Warm-up on by default: 3 to 5 requests a day in week 1 and 8 to 11 in week 2; custom limits only with warm-up off.

The short answer

Warm-up and daily limits, in one look.

Warmerly ramps each action on its own curve to 10 invitations a day and 50 a week on a standard account. Closely warms a LinkedIn account from 3 to 5 requests a day in the first week and 8 to 11 in the second, and says LinkedIn's own limit is about 100 connection requests a week. Last checked 22 October 2026.

Closely publishes two weeks and says and so on. Both are ceilings, not promises: LinkedIn's own limits decide, and Closely adds that LinkedIn sets about 100 connection requests a week.

Weekly cap

  • LinkedIn's weekly cap, per Closely: 50 a week, or 100 on Premium
  • Custom limits: Lower caps only, never higher

100 a week, LinkedIn's limit

  • LinkedIn's weekly cap, per Closely: 100 a week
  • Custom limits: Only with warm-up off

Warmerly's Premium cap is 100 a week. Closely says there is no limit on its side.

How Warmerly does it

Warmerly, in detail.

Each action type ramps on its own curve from the day the account is connected, inside a fixed daily budget that warmup and campaigns share. You can lower the caps but not raise them.

01

Invitations ramp on their own, faster curve

A standard account sends 5 invitations a day on days 1 to 3, 6 a day on days 4 to 7, 8 a day on days 8 to 14 and the full 10 a day from day 15. The weekly cap ramps the same way: 25, 30, 40, then 50. Premium accounts have a ceiling of 20 a day and 100 a week.

02

Everything else ramps at 20, 35, 55, 75 and 100 per cent

Profile views, reactions, comments, messages and posts ramp over days 1 to 3, 4 to 7, 8 to 14, 15 to 21 and 22 on. Our arithmetic from the caps: profile views 8, 14, 22, 30 then 40 a day; reactions 4, 7, 11, 15 then 20; messages 10, 17, 27, 37 then 50; comments 1, 1, 2, 3 then 5; posts 0, 0, 1, 1 then 2.

03

What counts as a day

The ramp counts from the larger of the warmup days completed and the calendar age of the connection, so an account used only for campaigns still climbs with time. A new connection starts with warmup paused until you switch it on.

04

A safety pause

If a failure looks like a restriction, a checkpoint or a rate limit, the account's warmup is paused with the reason and stays paused until someone turns it back on.

05

Not seen live at the time of the doc

Warmerly's own LinkedIn doc recorded on 12 October 2026 that no warmup job had yet run in production, and that posting, reacting and commenting were read from the provider's docs and not exercised live. We did not re-test it.

06

Warmup is off until you switch it on

A new LinkedIn connection starts with warmup paused. You turn on Run warmup automatically and fill in post and comment guidelines, topics and industries so the activity fits your profile. A day only counts towards warmup's own ramp when warmup actually ran on it.

07

Resting states

Warmup also does not run when the account is disconnected, its slot is past due or has ended, or the workspace is billing-locked or suspended. Pausing for a restriction, checkpoint, rate limit or invalid session needs you to fix the cause and switch warmup on again.

How Closely does it

Closely, in detail.

Closely's warm-up is an optional setting that raises activity gradually, and limits are slightly randomised each day.

07

Limits differ by account

The warm-up article says limits can differ between accounts depending on previous activity, with one example account having no earlier campaigns and so lower limits. The actual values are in screenshots, so we cannot quote them.

09

Behaviour advice

Do not run the account on separate devices during active outreach, do not sync it while other tools run active campaigns on it, and personalise invites and messages. Closely gives no source for its numbers and says LinkedIn's policies may change.

What Closely does not say

We looked, and found no statement on these. That is about its published pages only, not about the product.

  • A published default for daily connection requests or messages
  • A limit for profile views or likes
  • A statement of how a restriction is detected

Where the sources disagree

We report each version rather than pick one.

  • Closely's 2022 article says LinkedIn's limit is 100 a week, while its 2023 safeguard article says up to 30 a day for established accounts; the two are not reconciled.

In practice

What it means for you.

Our reading of the facts above. Not a promise, and not the only reasonable reading.

1

Closely publishes a start, not an end

Two weeks of ramp are stated and the rest is not. Warmerly's whole ramp is in its code and shown on the page.

2

The two ramps are close in week one

Closely says 3 to 5 a day and Warmerly sends 5 a day on days 1 to 3.

3

Neither tool can promise safety

LinkedIn's own rules and your profile's health decide what is safe, and both vendors say as much in their own words.

4

A month of requests, summed

On a standard Warmerly account the invitation ramp is 5 a day for 3 days, 6 for 4 days, 8 for 7 days and 10 from day 15. Over the first 14 days that is at most 15 + 24 + 56 = 95 invitations, and fewer once the weekly cap of 25, 30 and 40 applies. Closely's two stated weeks are 3 to 5 a day then 8 to 11, which is 21 to 35 plus 56 to 77, so 77 to 112 over 14 days. Neither is a promise, and weekends run lower.

5

A limit of 5 is not exactly 5

Closely says a limit of 5 can send 4 to 6 on a given day, and a limit of 10 can send 8 to 12. Plan around the top of the range if you are close to LinkedIn's own weekly limit.

Questions
How does Closely warm up a LinkedIn account?

Warm-up is on by default. Its help article gives 3 to 5 requests a day in the first week and 8 to 11 in the second, then says and so on without further numbers.

How many connection requests can I send a week?

Closely's help article says LinkedIn sets about 100 a week and that Closely adds no limit of its own. Warmerly caps a standard account at 50 a week, and Premium at 100.

Is Closely's warm-up always on?

Its daily limits article says warm-up is enabled by default, and you can turn it off to set your own limits. The warm-up article recommends it for fresh accounts.

Does Warmerly's LinkedIn warmup start by itself?

No. A new connection starts with warmup paused and you switch it on yourself. It restarts only when you turn it back on after a safety pause.
