The LinkedIn steps in a sequence
What each product lists as a LinkedIn step
Warmerly's LinkedIn steps are a connection request and a message. Skylead's pricing table adds InMails, View and Follow, and says it runs from a dedicated IP address.
The shape of each
In one line
A light add-on to email
- Steps in a sequence: Connection request and message
- Price: $19 an account, add-on
A core part of the seat
- Steps in a sequence: Connection requests, messages, InMails, View and Follow
- Free InMails a month: 800, to open profiles

Skylead's 800 free InMails a month are for open profiles. Paid InMail credits depend on your LinkedIn subscription.
Warmerly, in detail.
Two LinkedIn campaign steps (a connection request and a message) sit in the same sequence as email, and a separate warmup runs five kinds of activity. It costs $19 a month for each connected account, with no trial.
Price and how it is bought
LinkedIn is sold on its own, not inside the email plans. One connected account is $19 a month. A pack of 3 accounts is $49 a month and a pack of 5 is $75. It is charged straight away, there is no trial, and LinkedIn accounts are not refunded. You can cancel and keep access to the end of the paid period.

Two steps in a campaign
A campaign sequence can hold a LinkedIn connection step, a LinkedIn message step, wait steps and email steps. A ready-made 'LinkedIn then email' template connects first, waits 2 days, then sends two emails. The list editor handles these linear steps; only the canvas editor builds branches.

Messages wait for the connection
LinkedIn only lets you message first-degree connections. Before a message step the engine looks at the lead's profile. If the invitation is still pending it re-checks every 6 hours without spending send budget, and it skips the lead if they are still not connected 21 days after the invitation.

One shared daily budget
A standard account is capped at 10 invitations a day and 50 a week (premium: 20 and 100). The other mature daily caps are 50 messages, 40 profile views, 20 reactions, 5 comments and 2 posts. Warmup and campaigns spend from the same budget. You can set lower caps, never higher.

AI messages and how an account connects
Each LinkedIn message can optionally be written for one prospect from their profile, at 1 AI credit each, off by default. You sign in to LinkedIn through Warmerly and the connection runs through a hosted third-party service (LinkupAPI), so an account can show as disconnected when that service has a problem. Production had the customer connect flow switched on when it was read on 15 October 2026.

Where Warmerly is behind
We found no code for InMail, skill endorsements, following profiles, liking posts as a campaign step, or sequences that start from an event or a post link. Skylead's pages list InMails, View and Follow steps and several more lead sources.

Not a LinkedIn product
Its terms say Skylead is not a LinkedIn product, and that LinkedIn does not endorse it or have any association with it.

What Skylead does not say
We looked, and found no statement on these. That is about its published pages only, not about the product.
- Daily or weekly LinkedIn action limits
- A written safety policy for LinkedIn accounts
- Whether the browser, an extension or only the cloud is used (the pricing table says cloud-based, and the LinkedIn page does not say)
Where the sources disagree
We report each version rather than pick one.
- Skylead's LinkedIn automation page does not say whether it runs in the cloud, and its pricing table says it is cloud-based.
Only what we could verify.

What it means for you.
Our reading of the facts above. Not a promise, and not the only reasonable reading.
If LinkedIn is your main channel, this row matters most
Skylead has more steps, more ways to bring leads in and InMails. Warmerly's LinkedIn is deliberately light.
If LinkedIn supports email, the gap may not bite
A connection request, a wait and a message, in the same sequence as your email steps, is what many email-led teams need.
Ask Skylead about limits
Neither its pricing table nor its LinkedIn page gives daily limits. Warmerly publishes its own.
