Waalaxy’s main features are:

What is the Growth Machine?

However, thanks to our Waalaxy tool, you can benefit from more efficient searches: 👇

  • Search « multichannel » via LinkedIn + enrichment for your Emailing.
  • Bypass the limit of 100 LinkedIn invitations per week.
  • Follow and access LinkedIn profiles.
  • Create predefined action campaigns (connections, messages, etc.) and get an excellent return on investment.
  • Configure automatic import (e.g., send a welcome message as soon as the profile sends you a connection request).
  • Integrate with your CRM so you don’t need to store data in other software (much better for RGPD by limiting the risk of data leaks). 🚿

What are the similarities and differences in functionality?

Waalaxy and Growth Machine are often compared to equivalent solutions. 🤔

Sure, the tool looks similar 🔍, but on digging a little deeper, we realized that these two solutions didn’t deliver the same value or address the same target audience

  • Growth Machine offers two additional channels (X/Twitter + Call) that Waalaxy doesn’t, but this social network is no longer an important prospecting channel. 🤫 Moreover, calls are just a reminder step in their scenarios, whereas with Waalaxy, you have the “Phone finder” functionality to enrich your prospecting base. 📞 Now that’s a real asset if you’re calling your customers!
  • Growth Machine offers features such as task scheduling (manually) and “Sales Inbox”. 🗣️ However, Waalaxy also offers an integrated LinkedIn Inbox on the app, as well as tag functionality to qualify your leads (which LMG doesn’t have). ❌
  • Growth Machine and Waalaxy have similar pricing and subscriptions. 🤑 But unlike LMG, Waalaxy offers Freemium access (free for life) whereas this competitor just has a 14-day trial, and then you have to pay to continue using the tool.

Now, here’s a comparison of every feature of these two prospecting tools and some of our competitors! 💪

1) Ease of use and interface

Now let’s talk about design and user interface. 🌈 Let’s get started!

Admittedly, La Growth Machine features a modern, streamlined design. 👌However, this design doesn’t fully highlight the important elements of the software.

On the other hand, at Waalaxy certain elements have been highlighted with color codes to provide smoother, more accessible navigation even for the visually impaired. 👀

  • Our UX/UI design is created to offer an extremely pleasant customer experience.
  • We use lightweight, dynamic technologies via Chrome extensions.

With Waalaxy, the application is much faster and more enjoyable. 👽

However, LGM must be used via a client account, and they don’t have a Chrome extension, so it may be less suitable for prospecting on LinkedIn. 👎

Before you know which tool to choose for your strategy, you need to know the differences between these interfaces and which one is best. ⬇️

How does Waalaxy work?

As soon as it’s installed, you can see Waalaxy’s clear, intuitive interface. 👏

Consistent graphic design with coherent, pleasing colors makes the different sections easy to navigate and understand immediately. 😇

Above all, we love Waalaxy’s visual consistency. 🤩 For example, you can see that in LinkedIn campaigns, we have a color palette like this:

  • 🩶 Grey: Not connected.
  • 🧡 Orange: Waiting.
  • 💙 Blue: Connected.

For the « Email Finder » function, Waalaxy works with a credit system. 💰 Here, we can see that you can view the credit details directly by clicking on the name without going through all the parameters :

Then you have the « Onboarding section », with explanations of all the features. 🤖

In this example, for one each campaign, we display the response rate on a scale of 0 to 3 and include a brief description to guide you: 👇

Overall, Waalaxy follows a precise graphic charter and respects typography throughout, making it a very easy-to-use tool! 🙂

How does Growth Machine work?

As far as La Growth Machine’s interface is concerned, we can say that the design is minimalist and neat. 🤩 It’s still very pleasant to use!

Features can easily be found in the left-hand menu, such as profile, campaigns, leads, Inbox and team. ✨

However, this tool doesn’t use color coding to indicate a change in a lead’s current action or status. 🚦It’s all relatively monochrome… 😴

Here’s a quick recap below: 👇

2) Automate lead generation campaigns

Let me tell you how to automate your lead generation campaigns. 👇🏼

How to create a sequence with Waalaxy?

First, click on « Start a campaign », from any page.

You have several sequence options available: 👇

  • Sequences « beginners »: sequences for getting started (invitations, messages, visits, etc.).
  • Sequences « LinkedIn »: A sequence containing LinkedIn actions (visit + invitation + message, etc.).
  • Sequences « LinkedIn + E-mail »: A sequence that includes LinkedIn actions, enrichment and/or e-mails (e.g. Visit + Invitation + E-mail).

Waalaxy guides you through the sequences according to your needs: 👇🏼

You can also add or remove actions using search filters:

For example, if you choose the sequence: « Invitation + 2 messages ». You can name your campaign (optional step). 👀

Next, you can add leads in different ways:

  • 🥇 From your prospect lists.
  • 🥈 From auto-imports.
  • 🥉 From LinkedIn.

Once your leads have been imported, you can add connection notes. Then, you can change the waiting time from 0 to 28 days, before launching the next action. 📆

It’s easy, isn’t it? 😉

How do I create a sequence with LGM?

To launch a campaign, click on the « Campaigns » 🏹 icon in the left-hand menu and click on the « + Create Campaign » button:

Then the system will start finding potential customers for your campaign via LinkedIn. 🎯 To do this, you’ll need to provide details about your target:

You can also choose your target criteria and launch your search with « View results »:

Once you’ve applied all the filters that best define your target audience, the import can begin, and then you can select your campaign. 🤑

In this step, you must choose the sequence to be used and the delay between each message:

You can choose from different templates for e-mails, LinkedIn messages and Twitter/X posts.

Or, you can duplicate or pause an existing campaign for reuse with the three little dots. ⏬

What’s more, we offer 190 sequence templates optimized to increase conversion rates. ✅ Find out how to get over 51% lead response here!

What to do with L.G.M.?

However, here’s what L.G.M. offers to personalize your LinkedIn campaigns. 🔍

In fact, it’s possible to add variables too, 👍 which makes this task much easier.

Once this step is complete, simply add this message to your campaign using the « Save » button. 😇

In addition, you can change the message according to the prospect with the « Customize before sending » option, but this requires more attention to detail. 🤫

However, you can also preview the text before sending the message… ✍️

How do you do it with Waalaxy?

With Waalaxy, you can view your campaign statistics directly from the dashboard on your home page. 😇

There are two filter options for your LinkedIn campaigns:

  • Either by selecting the campaign periods.

  • Delivery frequency and derivability.
  • Absence of data and bounce rate.

What’s more, there’s an overview of each campaign: ⬇️

  • Prospect data.
  • The names of each lead, along with the following information: stage, status, list, import, tag.
  • Filters according to import type, stages, tags, etc.

At Waalaxy, we pride ourselves on its user-friendliness. 😇 Simple information, accompanied by relevant key performance indicators! What could be better?

How do I use Lagrowthmachine?

However, with Lagrowthmachine, it is necessary to go to the menu on the left in the « Reports » section to find the statistics. But there’s not much info… 🧐

At the top of the page, you can select team members and search for campaigns, but you can’t filter the data. 👆

In campaigns, you have a summary of current actions and prospect status. However, you don’t have an overall view of performance, as with Waalaxy. 🙊

Here’s the comparison! 👇🏼

6) Unique features

Now let’s take a look at the unique features of each tool. 🦄

What’s going on with Waalaxy?

Let’s get straight to the point with Waalaxy’s key features: 🗝️

Discover Inbox Waalaxy, a tool that lets you respond to your prospects quickly and tag them according to their responses (negative or positive), so you can better segment them. 🎯

This tool is much simpler than LGM’s, since it’s specialized for LinkedIn. What’s more, it’s better value for money (our customers say so)! 💰

Plus, discover new AI-based features: the Prospect Finder and Waami AI. 🥁

Prospect Finder is a recommendation algorithm capable of finding the best prospects for you in a matter of seconds. ⚡ You search for your « buyer persona » and then the software will suggest at least 1 K similar profiles.

Incredible, isn’t it? 🤯

« Waami » is our AI assistant for writing your best prospecting messages, just enter some key data about your target, as well as the description of your product/service, then a nice call to action, and you’re done! 🪄

You’ll have a customizable message that’s unique every time. 💝

Finally, we can’t forget our little touch of enrichment! 🤑

Thanks to Dropcontact, you can enrich your prospecting database with the e-mail addresses of your LinkedIn prospects (if not already available), as well as their telephone numbers. ☎️

These features will enable you to create complex scenarios, with all the information you need to contact your prospects, via calls, emails or LinkedIn! 💯

What’s going on with La Growthmachine?

Here are the main features of La Growthmachine: 🎰

  • Automated campaigns,
  • Import of leads,
  • « Call » step,
  • Prospect Finder,
  • CRM integration,
  • Inbox LinkedIn + Email,
  • Multichannel X/Twitter.

At the same time, LGM has its own « Multichannel inbox » to manage LinkedIn conversations as well as email replies. 📩

However, this can complicate the use of messaging, and you can easily get lost in this wave of messages… 🌊

What’s more, we know that « cross-channel campaigns »: Email + LinkedIn are perfect for B2B prospecting. 💥 However, using Twitter/X doesn’t add any value since it’s an unstable and B2C/entertainment-oriented network…

In this case, “Simpler is better!” 🤔

Finally, you still have to applaud the fact that they use an AI assistant to draft your messages (as at Waalaxy). 👽 It’s a real time-saver and will help you write punchy messages. 🪶
