La Growth Machine alternative: 3 tools compared in 2026

La Growth Machine, or LGM, is French prospecting software. It sends LinkedIn invitations and messages, and emails, in your name, within one sequence. It runs in the cloud, with no extension in your browser. This article looks at two points: the price per identity once several people prospect, and the risk to your LinkedIn account.

This article is written by the FindMyLead team, one of the tools compared. The other tools' prices were read on their pages on 14 October 2026, with links.

What La Growth Machine does

LGM automates LinkedIn from your own account: profile visits, invitations, messages, voice messages and automatic likes. Its French home page says so: "LGM tourne entièrement dans le cloud", it runs entirely in the cloud, and "Aucune extension à détecter", no extension to detect (LGM's home page).

Emails go out from your own mailbox, which you connect: Gmail, Outlook or SMTP. Its pricing page offers no sending domain. The Basic plan counts one sending address per identity (LGM's pricing page).

To find prospects, the main path is importing a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search, a file or a CRM list. LGM also claims a database of more than 27 million companies, from which you import their decision-makers; its pricing page lists no job-title filter. It then looks up each contact's email with several providers, and their phone number for credits.

LGM also writes: its AI writing assistant is included from the Basic plan. Its home page aims it at GTM engineers, Sales Ops and Heads of Sales.

La Growth Machine prices in October 2026

LGM bills per identity: a LinkedIn account and a mailbox that launch campaigns. Its pricing page opens on yearly prices; here are the monthly prices without commitment, then with a yearly commitment.

Its pricing page does not say whether VAT is included. Members are included at no cost (3 on Basic) to import contacts, prepare campaigns and answer replies, but the FAQ specifies: "A member cannot launch a campaign." and "An identity equals a license." For three people who each prospect under their own name, the Basic plan therefore comes to €180 a month (LGM's pricing page).

These enriched contacts are counted in credits: 1,250 a month on Basic, at 5 credits per verified email and 20 per phone number, so 250 emails or 62 numbers; extra credits can be bought (LGM's help center). The trial lasts 14 days, with no credit card, and one identity.

And your LinkedIn account?

LGM acts from your LinkedIn account. Its security page promises "une invisibilité totale vis-à-vis de LinkedIn", total invisibility to LinkedIn. To the legal question, it answers that automating is not illegal, then adds: "LinkedIn interdit explicitement l'utilisation d'outils qui effectuent des actions automatisées sans intervention humaine", LinkedIn explicitly forbids tools that perform automated actions without human intervention (LGM's LinkedIn security page).

The same page warns that sending too many messages or connection requests in a week through automation can trigger LinkedIn's alerts. And its home page sums up what is at stake: "Un compte LinkedIn restreint, c'est de la prospection à l'arrêt", a restricted LinkedIn account means prospecting stops.

LinkedIn, for its part, writes that members who use such tools "risk having their accounts restricted or shut down" (LinkedIn help on prohibited software). The account at stake is yours, with your network and your history. For a director who prospects on LinkedIn first, it is the first risk to weigh.

La Growth Machine alternatives

FindMyLead: find the people, without acting on your LinkedIn account

FindMyLead starts from the person. The user describes who they are looking for in one sentence, for example "HR directors in Bordeaux, companies of 20 to 200 employees". They see how many people match and who they are, for free, with their job, their company and their LinkedIn profile.

A dated example: "Directors of consulting firms with 10 to 49 employees in Île-de-France", 1,326 people in October 2026 (the founder use case).

One credit pays for a contact and their LinkedIn profile; their work email is looked up at no extra credit, found or not. The AI writes a LinkedIn message and an email for each person, and the user reviews them before sending.

FindMyLead never acts on the user's LinkedIn account: they open the profile and send the prepared message themselves. Emails go out from addresses created in the name of the user's company, included in the price, with automatic follow-ups.

FindMyLead costs €69 a month for 500 credits, for the whole team, without commitment. VAT does not apply: the price shown is the price paid (our pricing). It does not automate LinkedIn and does not give mobile numbers yet: if that is what you are after, LGM does it.

Waalaxy: LinkedIn automation for beginners

Waalaxy is a French tool that automates LinkedIn through a Chrome extension, on your account. It has no people database: it imports your LinkedIn searches. It aims at beginners: "75 % de nos utilisateurs n'avaient jamais fait de prospection LinkedIn", 75% of its users had never prospected on LinkedIn (Waalaxy's home page).

Without commitment, its English page shows €39 per user per month for Pro, LinkedIn only, and €139 for Business, which adds email from your own mailbox (Waalaxy pricing, English page). Details in our Waalaxy alternatives comparison.

lemlist: every channel, a contact database

lemlist automates LinkedIn, email, calls and text messages on its Multichannel plan, at €109 a month per user without commitment, excluding VAT (lemlist's pricing page, lemlist prices, help center). It claims a database of more than 450 million contacts on its database page, and 650 million on its pricing page.

Its help center advises at most 20 LinkedIn invitations a day, and warns that beyond that lemlist keeps sending but LinkedIn restricts the account (lemlist limit settings). Details in lemlist: pricing and reviews.

In short

lemlist shows prices excluding VAT; LGM and Waalaxy do not say.
