Expandi is $99/month per user. For an agency with 10 accounts that's $990 every month for connection requests. Sidle is €20/month — a 5x savings without losing functionality.
Expandi's value-prop is the drip-message sequence. But messaging strangers with templates is exactly what triggers LinkedIn's spam-detection and ruins your reputation. Sidle's ML model learns which profiles to target so that 80%+ accept — at which point YOU start the conversation, naturally.
