Flow AI vs Outreach
For teams that want LinkedIn-first outreach and transparent pricing—without quote-only contracts or implementation fees.
No card required
Easy 60-sec setup
Flow AI is an Outreach alternative built for LinkedIn: you get a built-in lead finder (no Sales Navigator), multi-sender sequences, AI reply drafts you approve before send (copilot not autopilot), and one inbox—with public pricing from $79/mo and no annual lock-in.
What Flow AI does
Flow AI is a LinkedIn outbound platform. You search and build lead lists from a large database, run automated or semi-automated sequences (Auto-pilot and Co-pilot), manage all LinkedIn conversations in one inbox, and sync contacts and activity with HubSpot or Salesforce. There is no built-in email sequencing—the product is focused on LinkedIn. The goal is to convert replies into booked calls without dropping the ball on follow-up.
Why teams look for an Outreach alternative
Cost and complexity
Outreach pricing is quote-only; third-party estimates often put it around $100–$160+ per user per month, with annual contracts typical and implementation fees in the $1K–$8K+ range. Teams looking for lower total cost and faster deployment often evaluate alternatives with public pricing and self-serve setup.
Email-first vs LinkedIn-first
Outreach excels at email sequences and multi-touch cadences that include LinkedIn as a step. If your team lives on LinkedIn and cold email has stopped working, you may want a tool built for LinkedIn as the primary channel—find leads, run sequences, and manage replies in one place.
Rigid sequences vs copilot
Many buyers want AI that drafts replies for them to approve before send—copilot not autopilot—so one wrong message doesn’t kill the conversation. Flow AI’s Co-pilot gives you draft replies you review and send; you stay in control.
Lead finding built in
Outreach typically pairs with enrichment and data tools (e.g. ZoomInfo). Flow AI bundles a lead finder so you can build targeted lists without Sales Navigator or a separate prospecting licence—fewer tools and simpler setup.
How Flow AI works
Three steps to find buyers, reach them at scale, and convert replies into booked calls.
2 Reach them at scale
Run multi-sender LinkedIn sequences on Auto-pilot or use Co-pilot to approve every message before it sends.
3 Turn replies into calls
Manage conversations in one inbox, follow up at the right time, and convert replies into booked calls.

Frequently asked questions
Is Outreach good for LinkedIn?
Outreach supports LinkedIn as part of sequences: you can add steps for connection requests, InMail, and profile views. Its primary strength is email sequences and multi-channel cadences that include LinkedIn. If LinkedIn is your main channel and you want a tool built around it (lead finding, outreach, and inbox in one place), a LinkedIn-native alternative like Flow AI is often a better fit.
How much does Outreach cost?
Outreach does not publish pricing; you need a custom quote. Third-party estimates (2024–2026) often put it around $100–$160+ per user per month depending on plan, with annual contracts typical and implementation fees that can range from about $1,000 to $8,000 or more for larger deployments. Check outreach.io/pricing for current options.
Can I try Flow AI without a long contract?
Yes. Flow AI offers a free trial and month-to-month billing. There’s no annual lock-in required—you can start and see if it works for you before committing. Public pricing starts at $79/mo (Solo) and $159/mo (Team). See pricing for details.
Does Flow AI do email sequences?
No. Flow AI is focused on LinkedIn: lead finding, LinkedIn sequences (Auto-pilot and Co-pilot), unified inbox, and CRM sync. It does not include email sequencing. If you need heavy email cadences, Outreach or another email-first sales engagement tool may be a better fit; if LinkedIn is your primary channel, Flow AI is designed for that.
Why do teams switch from Outreach to Flow AI?
Common reasons include: wanting LinkedIn as the primary channel instead of email; lower cost and transparent pricing; faster, self-serve setup without implementation fees; and a copilot-style experience where AI drafts replies but you approve before send. Flow AI also bundles lead finding so you don’t need Sales Navigator or a separate enrichment tool.
