DealGate vs Expandi
DealGate vs Expandi: cloud sequences vs your browser
Expandi is a cloud tool for LinkedIn and email sequences, with a dedicated country IP and daily limit ranges on its pricing page. DealGate stays in your Chrome: paste a search, score it, and visit profiles on your session. Expandi's multichannel sequences are built for teams that want cloud sending; DealGate is built for booked calls from the account you are signed into.
Side by side

Cloud software. The pricing page says each account gets a dedicated country-based IP.
In the product
DealGate. Your Chrome, on the LinkedIn session already open. There is no cloud runner holding the login.
How a list starts
Expandi
Searches and campaign audiences inside Expandi, including imports, then attached to a campaign.
In the product
DealGate. Paste a LinkedIn people search or a Sales Navigator URL. DealGate keeps a named lead list.
Who gets worked

Automatic profile visits
Expandi
Engaging actions between follow-ups are listed; a distinct profile-visit step is not spelled out on the pricing page.
In the product
DealGate. DealGate visits the profile in your Chrome, on your session, and counts it against the daily cap.
When LinkedIn warns you
Expandi
They describe a warm-up and limit ranges, and say the product will not go over the limits you set.
In the product
DealGate. LinkedIn decides restrictions on your account. When DealGate sees a checkpoint, captcha, or restriction banner, it stops activity for 48 hours. That hold cannot be cleared early. You can also stop the next action yourself; stopping does not shorten the hold.
After they reply
Expandi
A central inbox and campaign statistics. The sequence continues on the logic you built.
In the product
DealGate. The aim is a booked call. People who are warming up are the ones to book.

Gaps
- Whether Expandi's builder has a distinct profile-visit step is unclear on the pricing page.
- Image and video personalisation are paid add-ons — see Expandi for add-on pricing.
- DealGate does not send email sequences; Expandi combines LinkedIn and email on one plan.
