Linked Helper, on the other hand, is a downloadable solution based on browser technology.

Linked Helper over Octopus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason-1-%E2%80%93-Advanced-Technology\"><\/span>Reason #1 \u2013 Advanced Technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, Linked Helper existed as a browser extension (the same way Octopus exists now). However, this type of automation is less secure. Browser extensions inject code into the LinkedIn page, making them more prone to detection. Key points to note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) In Chrome, it\u2019s not possible to mimic extension actions under the user\u2019s actions without being noticed by LinkedIn because Chrome generates automatic clicks, indicating that the clicks were made by an extension or a program. This is indicated by the parameter \u201cisTrusted===false,\u201d, while Linked Helper always passes the parameter \u201cisTrusted===true\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) Extensions block the LinkedIn API for automation tracking, but they won\u2019t be able to do this soon when Chrome transitions to the Manifest V3 extension platform (Linked Helper is not an extension, so this won\u2019t affect it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c) Extensions cannot perform navigation using LinkedIn\u2019s search, whereas Linked Helper can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the Octopus CRM extension can only automate basic functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/linked-helper-working-process-1024x498.png\" alt=\"Every step of the Linked Helper campaign is displayed in real-time on the screen\" class=\"wp-image-10268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/linked-helper-working-process-1024x498.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/linked-helper-working-process-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/linked-helper-working-process-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/linked-helper-working-process.png 1232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Linked Helper provides real-time, in-page campaign progress updates, unlike Octopus.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Octopus support has explained that their tool introduces random delays after each automated action, making it difficult to detect, as it does not alter the LinkedIn user interface (unlike some other tools) and keeps its code hidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/search-bar-linked-helper-1320x330-1-1024x256.jpeg\" alt=\"The search bar in the Linked Helper interface while working with the software\" class=\"wp-image-10269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/search-bar-linked-helper-1320x330-1-1024x256.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/search-bar-linked-helper-1320x330-1-300x75.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/search-bar-linked-helper-1320x330-1-768x192.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/search-bar-linked-helper-1320x330-1.jpeg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>You can see how Linked Helper types people\u2019s names letter by letter in the search.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the current version of Linked Helper, when installed on your computer, also does not modify the LinkedIn interface, send API requests, or embed any code on the page.

The precision with which you select leads can significantly impact campaign success, sales, and profile growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common issue with Octopus is its limited support for specific lead collection sources. For example, Octopus allows you to collect profiles only via a provided link. It does not support collecting profiles based on followers, following, people you may know, engagement (likes or comments on posts), or other sources, except for Basic and Sales Navigator searches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Linked Helper, you have more options. You can: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be redirected to various LinkedIn (Sales Navigator, Recruiter) pages. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insert URLs. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or<a href=\"https:\/\/support.linkedhelper.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360015790859-How-to-add-profiles-to-a-campaign#h_01GNEF1BE9RP27RPGX1MJ7KQW1\"> add profiles from an HTML<\/a> file. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both tools enable the upload of CSV files or the importing of profiles through LinkedIn URLs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason-4-%E2%80%93-Comprehensive-Workflow-and-Campaigns\"><\/span>Reason #4 \u2013 Comprehensive Workflow and Campaigns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike Octopus, Linked Helper allows you to create campaigns or use pre-made templates. Octopus requires a more semi-manual approach to campaign setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"542\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/octopus-linked-campaigns-example.png\" alt=\"Octopus campaign configuration menu.\" class=\"wp-image-10274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/octopus-linked-campaigns-example.png 542w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/octopus-linked-campaigns-example-291x300.png 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>In Octopus, you need to manually link one action to another to create a workflow.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While Octopus claims to enable funnel and campaign creation in their Advanced and Unlimited plans, the reality is somewhat different. Octopus offers four tabs for LinkedIn automation actions (invite, visit, endorse, message) in its dashboard. However, these actions need to be activated and linked manually, one after the other. This is not a fully automated funnel or workflow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, Linked Helper lets you build campaigns based on actions that run sequentially with predefined timeouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: In Linked Helper templates and custom campaigns are available on all plans.<\/p>\n\n\n  \n  \n  <div class=\"\n    mailpoet_form_popup_overlay\n      \"><\/div>\n  <div\n    id=\"mailpoet_form_3\"\n    class=\"\n      mailpoet_form\n      mailpoet_form_shortcode\n      mailpoet_form_position_\n      mailpoet_form_animation_\n    \"\n      >\n\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n     #mailpoet_form_3 .mailpoet_form {  }\n#mailpoet_form_3 form { margin-bottom: 0;

It primarily functions as a statistics panel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It lacks features like lead lists, customer profiles, tags, and notes. Furthermore, it does not load profile photos or provide detailed customer information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Linked Helper\u2019s CRM offers a more robust set of features. It displays comprehensive data without the need to open profiles, including work and education history, summaries, titles, and skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/linked-helper-crm-example-1024x487.png\" alt=\"Linked Helper CRM menu and user list.\" class=\"wp-image-10275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/linked-helper-crm-example-1024x487.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/linked-helper-crm-example-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/linked-helper-crm-example-768x365.png 768w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/linked-helper-crm-example-1320x628.png 1320w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/linked-helper-crm-example.png 1348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>In Linked Helper CRM, you will see all data from the LinkedIn page along with filters.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also filter profiles in the CRM based on specific criteria and apply both manual and auto-tagging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"572\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tag-system-linked-helper.png\" alt=\"Linked Helper CRM tag menu in campaign settings.\" class=\"wp-image-10276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tag-system-linked-helper.png 572w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tag-system-linked-helper-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>In Linked Helper CRM, you can assign tags after completing a campaign and leave notes.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Octopus CRM  and Linked Helper have integration with Zapier.

Therefore, our support team can dive deeper into issues and resolve them, even requesting backup files if needed. Requesting your backup file may be important to review your campaign and ensure that everything is set up correctly. Your campaign data is stored only on your PC, ensuring security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, Octopus support can only be accessed via email. While we received responses within an hour, the stated response time is 4-8 hours. Moreover, their support hours are limited to 9 AM \u2013 9 PM EST every day, with no chat support available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"537\" height=\"278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/octopus-support-message-notification.png\" alt=\"Octopus screenshot of the notification after sending a support message.\" class=\"wp-image-10284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/octopus-support-message-notification.png 537w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/octopus-support-message-notification-300x155.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Octopus users can expect a response from customer support via email within 4-8 hours.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Linked Helper, on the other hand, provides 24\/7 support through various channels, including website chat and built-in chat, WhatsApp messenger, Facebook, and email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding user training, Octopus CRM offers a tutorial right after you download it.

However, Octopus\u2019s most expensive plan provides 500 credits with no option to purchase more. In contrast, Linked Helper offers 620 credits monthly with the Standard license and 3,100 credits with the Pro license. Additional credits can be purchased, starting at $15 USD for 1,000 credits. Email search may cost as little as $0.0057 per lead when purchasing a 50,000-credit package for $284. The larger the package, the lower the cost per lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"556\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/email-finder-credits-octopus.png\" alt=\"Octopus screenshot of email finder credits.\" class=\"wp-image-10286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/email-finder-credits-octopus.png 556w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/email-finder-credits-octopus-300x103.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>In Octopus, you can use a maximum of 500 credits for email searching.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A significant advantage of using Linked Helper for email searches is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Speed<\/strong>!

In other words, one Octopus license corresponds to one LinkedIn account. Each Octopus account has its dashboard, lead lists, campaigns, etc. However, you have the option to transfer an annual license from one LinkedIn account to another if needed.
