Lead Generation & CRM

Linked Helper

Strengths
  • Automated personalized connection requests to 2nd/3rd-degree contacts
  • Built-in CRM with tags, notes, and full interaction history
  • Email Finder for enriching LinkedIn profiles
  • Data scraping and export to CSV/CRMs
  • Targeting from groups, events, alumni, and post engagers
Workflow

Appy Pie

Strengths
  • AI chatbots and agents for lead capture in apps
  • Workflow automations to integrate with CRMs like HubSpot
  • App analytics for user behavior insights
  • No native lead gen; relies on built apps for capture
Limitations
  • Lacks social-specific lead tools
  • Requires building an app to enable lead features

Linked Helper dominates lead generation with LinkedIn-focused tools, CRM, and email enrichment. Appy Pie supports indirect lead gen via app chatbots and integrations but isn't designed for direct outreach. For B2B prospecting, Linked Helper is essential; for app-based leads, Appy Pie works.

Content & Design Tools

Linked Helper

Strengths
  • Advanced message template editor with variables and images
  • Bulk engagement for likes/comments to boost visibility
  • Focus on outreach messaging rather than creative content
Limitations
  • No AI or design tools; automation over creation
  • Limited to LinkedIn messaging formats

Appy Pie

Strengths

  • Pixazo AI for designs, animations
  • No-code builders with templates for apps/websites

Limitations
  • Less emphasis on social messaging
  • Overwhelming options for simple needs

Appy Pie offers robust AI-driven content and design for apps/websites, far surpassing Linked Helper's basic messaging tools. Linked Helper prioritizes functional outreach templates over creative assets. For design-heavy projects, Appy Pie wins; for LinkedIn messaging, Linked Helper suffices.
