Question 1

What is an AI prospecting tool and how is Linki different from Apollo?

Accepted Answer

An AI prospecting tool automates outreach by finding prospects, generating personalized messages, and managing follow-ups at scale. Linki differs in three critical ways: (1) Cost: €20-100/month flat vs €99-150 per user per month with Apollo, saving a 5-person team €5,100/year. (2) Data: Your prospect list and sequences stay on your own server in Germany — no vendor lock-in. (3) Safety: Linki uses real browser automation instead of APIs, making LinkedIn outreach safer with lower ban risk. You get the same prospecting power as Apollo for a fraction of the cost and with full control.

Question 2

How long does it take to deploy the AI prospecting tool?

Accepted Answer

Deployment takes exactly 3 minutes from signup. Click Deploy in the Opsily dashboard, select your plan, and Linki launches on German hosting with GDPR compliance, automatic SSL certificate, and daily backups. You then authenticate your LinkedIn and email accounts (credentials stored locally, never transmitted), add your OpenRouter API key for AI message generation, and you are ready to create your first prospect sequence. No DevOps, no command line, no VPS management required. Most users create and run their first campaign within 30 minutes of deploying.

Question 3

Can I migrate my prospect list and sequences from Apollo or Lemlist?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export your prospect list and email templates from Apollo as CSV or JSON, then upload into Linki — the import process takes minutes. LinkedIn connections cannot be exported from Apollo due to API restrictions, but you can replicate your targeting criteria in Linki (industry, job title, company size, seniority level) and let the tool rebuild your prospect list. Email sequences are fully portable. Most teams complete migration in 1-2 days. Opsily support can guide you through the process and help validate that your targeting is equivalent to your old campaigns.

Question 4

What AI models power Linki's message generation?

Accepted Answer

Linki integrates with OpenRouter, which provides access to GPT-4o and Claude (3.5 Sonnet). You choose which model to use per campaign. GPT-4o is faster and more cost-effective for high-volume outreach. Claude is more nuanced for complex B2B positioning and relationship-building angles. Both models generate fully personalized messages based on your value proposition and prospect data (job title, company, industry, recent activity). OpenRouter handles the API calls directly, so you pay only for tokens used (typically €0.01-0.05 per message) — no per-user SaaS fee markup. You control the message tone and validation rules to ensure quality before sending.

Question 5

Is my prospect data secure and GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes on both counts. Linki stores all data on German servers operated by Opsily, meeting GDPR Article 28 requirements by default. No data is shared with third parties unless you explicitly authorize integrations (e.g., Apollo API for lead enrichment). You own all prospect data: export it anytime, delete it anytime, switch platforms without restriction. Linki is open-source, so security researchers and your own DevOps team can audit the code. Daily encrypted backups ensure your data survives hardware failure. Unlike Apollo or Lemlist, your data is not a hostage — it lives on your infrastructure and is yours to control.

Question 6

Will using Linki get my LinkedIn account banned?

Accepted Answer

Real browser automation is significantly safer than API-based tools because it mimics human behavior. Linki uses natural pacing between actions (delays between invites, realistic viewing patterns), maintains session persistence (like a real user), and avoids the heavy API rate-limiting and detection systems that cloud tools trigger. LinkedIn may still detect aggressive behavior if you send thousands of invites daily, but Linki provides safe-outreach settings and pacing recommendations based on your account age and warm-up history. No tool is risk-free, but browser automation has a better track record than API-only tools like Apollo. Most Linki users report zero LinkedIn actions taken against their accounts.

Question 7

How does Linki handle email deliverability for cold outreach?

Accepted Answer

Linki integrates with your Gmail account or any SMTP service (Sendgrid, Postmark, Brevo). Emails are sent from your own domain, so deliverability depends on your domain reputation — not a shared pool. Linki handles sequence management (delays between messages, reply handling, unsubscribe compliance) but your domain reputation is your responsibility. Best practice: warm up your domain first by sending legitimate emails before running cold campaigns. For teams sending high volume (1,000+ emails/week), use a dedicated sending domain or transactional email service like Postmark to protect your primary domain reputation. Linki integrates with all major SMTP providers, so you have full flexibility.

Question 8

Can multiple team members use Linki at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and this is a major cost advantage over Apollo and Lemlist. All Opsily Linki plans include unlimited internal user seats — there are no per-user fees. 10 team members can log in and run campaigns simultaneously on the same Linki instance. This is impossible with Apollo or Lemlist without paying €99+ per person per month. On Opsily's Medium plan (€40/month), your cost per team member is €4/month for unlimited concurrent use. On the Large plan (€70/month), it is €7 per person for a 10-person team. You can invite your entire sales department and the hosting cost stays the same.
