Six capabilities Closely doesn’t put in one workspace

Closely covers LinkedIn plus a contact database. These six are what you’d otherwise stitch together from three more tools.

New

Mobile numbers in the same tool

Phone Finder reveals verified mobile and direct-dial numbers on the leads you already sequenced. Closely surfaces numbers on some records only, and never inside the sequence you’re already running.

New

Your competitor's followers as a list

Company Follower scrapes the LinkedIn followers of any company page, the warmest cold audience there is, already interested in your category.

500M+ contacts and 70M+ companies, 50+ filters

A full people-and-account database refreshed every 30 days, with credits spent only on the records you reveal, not a per-seat data subscription on top of your outreach bill.

A reply agent with three autonomy modes

Manual, Co-pilot or Auto-pilot, per campaign. It works LinkedIn and email threads from one brain, with human-like reply timing, until your goal is met.

An AI quality gate before enrolment

ICP Score rates every lead 0–100 against your weighted ideal customer profile, so weak-fit leads never burn a send or a mailbox reputation.

Mailboxes, DNS and warmup included

Buy pre-configured Google, Microsoft or Azure mailboxes inside the platform with SPF, DKIM and DMARC handled, unlimited warmup and live placement tests. No separate infrastructure vendor.

Scale

Run both channels, without hitting the starter caps.

Closely does LinkedIn and email too, but its email accounts are capped per plan and warmup is limited, so volume stalls as you grow. Outboundry connects unlimited mailboxes with sender rotation and unlimited warmup across all of them, so the same multichannel sequence scales from one client to fifty without re-buying seats.

  • Unlimited email accounts on every plan
  • Sender rotation across every mailbox
  • LinkedIn + email in one sequence

Deliverability

Email that actually lands.

Adding email to LinkedIn only helps if it reaches the inbox. Closely has no inbox-placement testing and no done-for-you email infrastructure, and its warmup is limited. Outboundry warms unlimited mailboxes, tests inbox placement across major providers and provisions ready-to-send domains at $4 each, so your sending reputation stays healthy as you scale.

  • Inbox-placement tests across major providers
  • Done-for-you mailboxes at $4 each

Lead data

A database that doesn't run dry.

Outboundry's 500M-contact database with 50+ filters dwarfs Closely's ~250M, so you keep finding fresh, verified prospects instead of recycling the same lists. Find a lead, verify the email and drop them straight into a multichannel sequence, all without leaving the platform.

  • Email finder & verification built in
  • Verified mobile & direct-dial numbers in the same tool
  • Company Follower: any company page’s LinkedIn followers as a list

Outboundry vs Closely · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Doesn't Closely already do LinkedIn and email?
It does, Closely runs LinkedIn and email outreach and has a lead database. The difference is scale and depth: Outboundry's database is 500M+ contacts (versus Closely's ~250M), email accounts are unlimited rather than capped, and warmup, inbox-placement testing, done-for-you infrastructure and LinkedIn avatars are all built in.
How much bigger is Outboundry's lead database?
Outboundry's database spans 500M+ verified B2B contacts with 50+ filters, compared with Closely's roughly 250M. In practice that means you keep surfacing fresh, well-targeted prospects instead of recycling the same lists as your campaigns scale.
What deliverability tools does Outboundry add over Closely?
Unlimited mailbox warmup, inbox-placement testing across major providers, and done-for-you email infrastructure at $4/mailbox. Closely's email accounts are capped and its warmup is limited, with no placement testing, so it's harder to protect deliverability as you scale sending.
Can I connect unlimited email accounts?
Yes, unlimited mailboxes on every plan, with sender rotation across all of them. Closely caps email accounts per plan, which limits how much volume you can safely send. Outboundry also offers bulk email-account management to connect and tag mailboxes at scale.
Does Outboundry have LinkedIn avatars?
Yes, aged, ID-verified LinkedIn avatars from $59/mo with dedicated IPs, so you can run outreach without risking personal profiles. Closely doesn't offer rented avatars.
Is Outboundry billed per seat like Closely?
No. Outboundry uses flat plans that cover your whole team from $39/month, while Closely is billed per seat, so your cost climbs with every user. Avatars and email are included rather than gated behind extra seats.
How hard is it to switch from Closely?
Straightforward, our team helps you migrate, and chat plus onboarding support is included on every plan with no migration fee. Connect your LinkedIn accounts and mailboxes, import your leads and sequences, and you're running multichannel campaigns the same day.
