    TechSales vs running Instantly and HeyReach separately

    This is not a choice between products: TechSales runs on Instantly and HeyReach. The real question is whether you need a layer on top of them, or whether two tools and a spreadsheet are enough for your volume.

    In short

    • Instantly sends email with unlimited mailboxes and warm-up; HeyReach sends LinkedIn messages from many sender accounts. TechSales uses both through your own API keys.
    • As of October 2026 Instantly's Outreach Growth plan is $47/month ($37.60 billed annually) and HeyReach Growth is $79 per sender per month ($64 annually).
    • What TechSales adds: list preparation and verification, routing each person to email, LinkedIn or both, one timeline across both tools, stopping the other channel on a reply, one Inbox, HubSpot suppression and capacity-based refills.
    • HeyReach lists Instantly among its own integrations; check what it syncs for your setup before deciding you need more.

    The stack you would otherwise assemble

    Outbound usually means five to ten separate tools, each with its own subscription and a spreadsheet between them. Prices below are the lowest published paid plan on each vendor's own pricing page as of October 2026, in US dollars, billed monthly; most are cheaper billed annually.

    TechSales is one subscription for the layer in the right-hand column, plus credits for data and verification when you do not use your own keys. See Pricing.

    When two tools are enough

    • You run one channel most of the time, or very few people get both.
    • Your volume is small enough that one person can split lists, verify them and watch both inboxes without things slipping.
    • You do not need HubSpot suppression, Turkish or other market-specific clean-up, or a single report across both channels.

    If you later add TechSales, nothing moves: it connects to the same Instantly and HeyReach accounts, and you choose how much history to import.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I still need Apollo, Instantly or HeyReach with TechSales?
    Apollo: no; people search can run on TechSales' managed data source on credits, or on your own Apollo key if you already have one. Instantly (or Smartlead) and HeyReach: yes on the Studio and AI SDR plans, because TechSales sends through your own accounts; on the Managed plan TechSales provides them. Email finding, verification, list cleaning, copywriting, the Inbox and reporting are built in.
    Do I keep paying for Instantly and HeyReach?
    Yes, on the Studio and AI SDR plans: TechSales sends through your accounts. On Managed, TechSales provides the tools.
    Can TechSales work with Smartlead instead of Instantly?
    For email, yes. The interleaved email plus LinkedIn sequence currently needs Instantly. See Smartlead.
    How does TechSales know someone replied on the other channel?
    It reads replies from both tools (every two minutes) and runs a check every 15 minutes that stops the person on the other channel.
