Reachy vs Expandi (2026): Local Agent or Cloud Automation?
TL;DR: Expandi is a polished cloud automation platform priced around $99/month per seat. Reachy is a local AI agent that runs on your machine from $0. The structural difference — where the automation runs — drives everything else: safety, privacy and price.

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 is included on every plan, or runs on your own OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or OpenRouter 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 $299/month total.
