Independent comparison. ProspectScout is not affiliated with Linked Helper or LinkedIn. Linked Helper pricing from its official plan guide, reviewed October 11, 2026.
Linked Helper is desktop software: you install it on your own computer or VPS, and it drives LinkedIn through its own embedded browser rather than running in the cloud. Licenses are sold per LinkedIn account, Standard or PRO, with a separate choice of where workspace data is stored (local device or Linked Helper's cloud)—automation always runs on your machine either way. ProspectScout is a cloud platform: nothing to install or keep running, with built-in prospect discovery, one campaign shared across several senders, and AI that replies from instructions you approve.

Why consider ProspectScout?
A subscription, not a license to track
ProspectScout bills month-to-month and you cancel renewal anytime. Linked Helper sells prepaid licenses by the month, quarter, half-year or year that expire and must be renewed manually unless you opt into auto-billing.
Replies handled from your instructions
AI answers replies only from the offer and qualification instructions you approve, and alerts your team when a question is out of scope.

Linked Helper plans (monthly billing)
- Standard (Local): $15 per account/month, 1-month license ($8.25/month on a 12-month license)
- PRO (Local): $45 per account/month, 1-month license ($24.75/month on a 12-month license)
- Standard (Cloud storage): $29.9 per account/month, 1-month license; workspace data stored on Linked Helper's servers, automation still runs locally
- PRO (Cloud storage): $59.9 per account/month, 1-month license; workspace data stored on Linked Helper's servers, automation still runs locally
- Linked Helper prices are in USD from its official pricing page and licensing article; local tax may apply. Longer prepaid terms (3, 6, 12 months) and bulk purchases (10+ licenses) lower the effective monthly rate.
- Totals use the Standard, local-workspace, 1-month license because it is Linked Helper's lowest same-currency per-account monthly rate; PRO and the cloud-storage edition cost more per month and add features.
- The cloud-storage edition moves where workspace data is stored, not where automation runs—the machine running Linked Helper still has to stay on either way.
- ProspectScout volume pricing (from 5 accounts) is shown at its monthly rate. The plans include different features, so a lower total doesn't mean the same product for less.
Who should choose which?
ProspectScout may fit if…
- You'd rather not install or maintain desktop software or a VPS.
- You want a straightforward monthly subscription instead of tracking license expirations.
- You want AI to handle replies from instructions you approve.

When Linked Helper may be a better fit
- You want your LinkedIn session to stay entirely on hardware you control.
- You'd rather prepay a license for a fixed project length, Recruiter-style.
- You want to bring your own dedicated proxies and configure limits yourself.
- You need bulk per-seat discounts across a large team (10+ licenses).
