Cold Email Software That Scales Without Scaling Your Bill
Self-hosted alternative to Apollo and Outreach. No per-seat pricing. Unlimited email campaigns. Your data stays on your servers.
Why teams pick self-hosted cold email
Cold email tools charge per user. Linki charges per server. For teams of 5 or more, that math changes everything.
Fixed price, no per-seat madness
Apollo charges $50-100 per user per month. Add 10 SDRs, that's $500-1,000 a month before you send a single email. Linki costs the same whether you have 3 users or 300. Deploy once, one bill, unlimited team members.
Unlimited volume, no rate limits
SaaS platforms limit you to protect their infrastructure. Linki runs on your servers, so your limits are your infrastructure. Send 100 emails or 100,000 in a day. No API throttling. No account suspension for 'unusual activity.'
Your prospect data is yours
Exporting contact lists from Apollo is painful. Switching platforms means starting over. With Linki on your own server, every email address, every sequence, every result lives under your roof. GDPR-compliant by default — no data transfer to US servers, no compliance gymnastics.
Built for teams who need reliability

The real cost of SaaS cold email
Apollo, Outreach, and Lemlist solve a real problem: they make cold email accessible. But they solve it by making you a tenant on their infrastructure, paying per person, with your data held hostage by their terms of service.
For a founder or sales ops person running a team of 5 or 10 or 20, that model breaks the budget.
Linki flips the equation. You own the server. You own the data. You own the infrastructure that delivers your emails.
Deliverability that actually works
When you send from Apollo or Outreach, you're sharing sender reputation with thousands of other users. One bad actor in your shared IP pool damages everyone's inbox placement.
When you send from Linki on your domain, your reputation is yours alone. Higher open rates. Fewer bounces. Better replies. That directly affects your sales metrics.
GDPR and data privacy, built in
If your prospects are in Europe—or if your company is—you need to think about data transfers. Sending prospect lists to US-based SaaS platforms triggers GDPR compliance work. Linki running on your server eliminates that friction. No data leaves your infrastructure. No compliance consulting bills.
Scale without scaling costs
A 50-person sales team on Apollo costs $2,500-5,000 a month. On Opsily's Large plan ($70/month), Linki costs you $70 a month. That's the entire difference between scrappy startup and well-funded SaaS company.
Scaling your outbound doesn't have to mean scaling your bills.

Common questions about self-hosted cold email
Got a question? We probably get asked it every week.
Apollo charges per user ($50-100/month), Linki charges per server ($30-100/month flat). Apollo stores your data on their US servers; Linki stores it on yours, under your control. Apollo's API has rate limits; Linki's doesn't. For teams of 5 or more, self-hosted Linki saves 60%+ annually. Apollo wins if you want no infrastructure work; Linki wins if you want cost control and data ownership.
