Comparison
Hellofew vs Valley
Valley describes itself as: “Every plan includes the whole system: all buying signals, unlimited leads, your writing style, email and LinkedIn.”
Prices below were read from joinvalley.co on 12 October 2026.
The short answer
- Buy Valley if
- you want the widest possible net of buying signals and are comfortable managing the sending pace yourself.
- Buy Hellofew if
- you want the agents to choose the people and write to each one, and you want that still working in a year rather than for one good month.
Price
Valley starts at $199/seat/mo. Hellofew is $49/month.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $199/seat/mo | LinkedIn only · prospecting, qualification, research, outreach · unified inbox · ICP scoring · CRM/API integrations · one LinkedIn account per seat |
| Plus | $299/seat/mo | Adds email (1,000 messages/mo) · Slack support · onboarding call · customer success manager |
| Growth | $499/seat/mo | Plus, with $300 of additional credits every month |
| Scale / Studios | quoted · $1,499/mo | Scale is custom pricing from five seats; Studios is done-for-you |

Starter, LinkedIn only; $149/seat/mo on a quarterly commitment
What Valley does better
Genuinely better, not faint praise. If any of these is what you need, buy theirs.
- Signal coverage: profile viewers, website visitors and job changes, which we do not track. (Post engagers we do.)
- They publish sending limits too — roughly 20–25 invitations a day, ramped — and back them with a money-back guarantee if an account is restricted. Nobody else in the category does either, and we do not offer the guarantee.
- Email and LinkedIn in one system on Plus; we are LinkedIn only.
- A 7-day free trial, and research across 200+ sources against our single search pass.
Where we differ
- $199/seat/mo month-to-month, or $149 only if you commit quarterly — four times ours for the LinkedIn-only tier.
- Email is not on the entry plan; it starts at $299/seat.
- "Unlimited leads" is the headline. Unlimited lead *discovery* is not the constraint on a LinkedIn account — the sending rate is.
The thing Valley's pricing page does not mention
A daily sending limit. Neither does anyone else's in this category — we checked all four on 12 October 2026 for any mention of invitation caps, warm-up ramps, or what happens if LinkedIn objects to your account.
That absence is not an oversight, it is the business model. Volume demos well. But LinkedIn does not publish its limits, restricts accounts that exceed them, and the account it restricts is yours — not your vendor's.
So here is our whole spec, in public
- 20 invitations a day, maximum. You cannot raise it. Neither can we — it is a constant in the code, not a setting.
- A new account starts at five a day and takes three weeks to reach the ceiling.
- Nothing sends outside your working hours, and we stay twenty minutes clear of both ends. Weekends and public holidays are skipped.
- Gaps between sends are irregular by design. Twenty invitations exactly three minutes apart is more obviously scripted than twenty at random times.
- An account with fewer than 150 connections is held back and sends nothing at all.
- One follow-up. Not five. Any reply cancels everything still queued for that person.
- If your acceptance rate falls below 15% we halve your caps; below 8% we stop inviting and tell you. A low accept rate is what precedes a restriction.
- Every message waits for you to approve it, individually, for ever — and the whole schedule is visible before any of it runs. Approving is the only way anything sends.
- If LinkedIn flags the account in its first 24 hours of sending, we stop and stay stopped until you say otherwise.
Hellofew does one thing: agents that run LinkedIn outbound end to end for a single founder — the research, the targeting, the writing, the sending and the replies — for $49/month. If what you want is a few hundred invitations a week, it is the wrong product and Valley is probably the right one. We would rather say that here than take your money and disappoint you.
Free to read what it writes about your market. $49/month when you connect LinkedIn and it starts finding real people.
