How Octopus CRM prices

Octopus CRM's published plans: Starter $9.99, Pro $14.99, Advanced $21.99, Unlimited $39.99 per month (monthly); agency pricing for 20+ accounts on request.

There's no per-account figure on Octopus CRM's pricing page: plans are priced by tier, usage or users. For agency maths, get Octopus CRM's quote for the number of LinkedIn accounts you'll actually run.

Reasons

Why teams look for alternatives to Octopus CRM

Each reason is drawn from Octopus CRM's published plans and features. None of them means Octopus CRM is a bad tool; they're the questions worth answering before you switch.

Cost per account is hard to work out

Octopus CRM prices by plan (Starter $9.99, Pro $14.99, Advanced $21.99, Unlimited $39.99 per month (monthly); agency pricing for 20+ accounts on request) rather than per LinkedIn account. That makes the cost of each new client hard to see in advance, so ask for a quote at the number of accounts you'll actually run.

Where campaigns run

How Octopus CRM runs: Chrome extension (installed from the Chrome Web Store). Check whether your plan needs a browser or computer left on while campaigns send. Teams sending for several people usually want that to happen on a server instead.

Email steps

We didn't find native email steps on Octopus CRM's public pages. If you email people whose LinkedIn invite goes unanswered, check whether Octopus CRM would need a second tool and a second inbox for that.

Agency features

The Octopus CRM pages we checked don't publish white-label or separate client workspaces. Agencies reselling outreach under their own brand, or keeping each client's leads apart, usually need both.

AI-assistant control

There's no published MCP server for Octopus CRM. Without one, an AI assistant can't pull Octopus CRM reports or build campaigns in it, so every check across clients stays manual.

Checklist

How to choose an Octopus CRM alternative

1. Where it runs. How Octopus CRM runs: Chrome extension (installed from the Chrome Web Store). Sending depends on a machine you keep on; a cloud alternative sends from a server, with an IP per account.
2. How the price scales. Octopus CRM doesn't publish a per-account price. Get every alternative's price at the account count you expect in six months.
3. Email in the same sequence. Octopus CRM's pages don't publish native email steps. If you follow up unanswered invites by email, look for email in the same sequence.
4. Agency features. Octopus CRM doesn't publish white-label or client workspaces. For client work, look for both, plus client billing and one login across clients.
5. Account safety. Whatever replaces Octopus CRM, automation is used at your own risk. Look for enforced daily limits and warm-up rather than promises.

FAQ

Octopus CRM alternatives: questions

Which Octopus CRM alternative is best for lead gen agencies?

LinkedCamp, if you run client accounts: it publishes 6 agency features that Octopus CRM's pages don't, listed in its card above, and flat agency bundles from $499/mo for 10–20 clients. Then shortlist one of Dux-Soup, Waalaxy, Dripify, La Growth Machine and Aimfox against it on cost and fit.

What's the cheapest Octopus CRM alternative per client?

Octopus CRM doesn't publish a per-account price. The lowest published per-account price among the alternatives above is Waalaxy at €19 per user. LinkedCamp: $99 + $69 per client up to 9 clients; from 10, flat bundles from $499/mo. Plans differ in limits and features, so price each at your real client count.

Does Octopus CRM work with ChatGPT or Claude?

Octopus CRM doesn't list an MCP server, so ChatGPT and Claude can't operate it. LinkedCamp's 133-tool MCP server lets them build campaigns, triage replies and report across client sub-accounts, asking before anything sends.

Can I move my clients' Octopus CRM campaigns to LinkedCamp?

Yes. Export the leads from Octopus CRM as CSV files and import one per client sub-account in LinkedCamp. Your AI assistant can redraft each Octopus CRM campaign there for you to approve before anything sends.
