Reachy vs Expandi (2026): Local Agent or Cloud Automation?

Where Expandi shines
Expandi is agency-friendly: white-label options, mature onboarding, and country-based dedicated IPs that reduce (but don’t remove) the cloud-login risk. If you specifically want a browser-free, always-on cloud tool and accept the price per seat, it’s one of the better-run options in that category.
Where Reachy is structurally different
A dedicated cloud IP is still not your IP. Reachy’s automation is indistinguishable from you because it literally happens on your computer — same IP, same device, human-like pacing, with warm-up and daily limits built in.
Beyond safety, Reachy behaves like an SDR rather than a sender: it sources leads from buying signals, scores them against your ICP, and only then runs the outreach. And AI personalization uses your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Google key at 0% markup instead of being resold to you inside the subscription.
Which should you choose?
- Choose Expandi if you need white-label cloud automation for many client accounts and the ~$99/seat pricing works for you.
- Choose Reachy if you want account safety by architecture, signal-based targeting with lead scoring, and flat pricing that starts free — the Agency plan runs 15 seats for $179/month total.
