Simon Leich "I've booked over 100 sales calls"
Instantly is built for cold email and inbox volume. Flow AI is built for LinkedIn end-to-end. If LinkedIn is your primary channel, here’s how they compare.
"I was getting zero traction on cold email. With Flow I had my first replies within four days. Having the templates and resources to work through each lead really made the difference. I didn't think LinkedIn could work for us like this."
Doc Williams
Influencer, Brand Factory
"I love how Tom and the Flow team work. My biggest challenge was generating leads and starting new conversations. Since working with Flow I've had over 100 sales calls. The framework they use and the way they support you through every reply made the difference - we're seeing volume we never had before."
Simon Leich
CEO, CS Partners
"We'd been trying to get traction on enterprise for a while. With Flow we landed our first enterprise deal in the first 30 days - high ticket, 50k a month. They helped us get in the room with the right people and follow up in a way that actually closed. We're scaling that approach now."
Ashutosh Saitwal
Founder & CEO, KlearStack
"This system is amazing. Flow's playbook alone is insane, but having Maya customize replies and the team on call to work through each one is a complete game-changer. I never thought I could warm up so many leads so quickly. My pipeline's in a totally different place now."

Instantly optimizes email outreach. LinkedIn is typically secondary or an add-on. Flow AI is LinkedIn-only, with prospecting and replies in one workspace.
Find leads, run sequences, manage replies, and track pipeline. All inside one product built for LinkedIn.
Search 300M+ profiles and build targeted lists without leaving Flow AI. No Sales Navigator subscription, no scraping, no third-party database fees. Instantly is centered on email; LinkedIn list building typically means Sales Navigator, CSVs, or another database.
6.8k leads
Agent Maya runs your LinkedIn outreach while you focus on selling. She sends connection requests, follows up, and warms prospects using a proven playbook tuned to LinkedIn's daily limits. Instantly optimizes email sends and deliverability; LinkedIn automation, when present, is usually lighter than Flow AI’s Auto-pilot.
Agent Maya drafts personalized replies that sound like you wrote them. Review, tweak, send. Your team stays in control while moving ten times faster than typing every message from scratch. Everything happens in Flow AI’s LinkedIn inbox, not a separate task queue.
Track replies, set follow-up reminders, and see every lead's status at a glance. Flow AI's built-in CRM is designed for LinkedIn pipeline, so your team sees exactly where each conversation stands without digging through a broader engagement suite.
Every LinkedIn conversation from every sender on your team, in one inbox. Write, schedule, and reply across multiple accounts without switching tabs. Instantly is built around email threads; a true multi-sender LinkedIn inbox is not the core experience.
Tom
ZoeAlexTomZoeTomZoeAlexConnect multiple LinkedIn accounts and rotate sends automatically. Flow AI distributes activity across senders, respects LinkedIn's daily limits for each account, and keeps everything visible in one dashboard.
Sync Flow AI with HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, Slack, and more. LinkedIn conversations flow straight into your existing sales stack, so nothing falls through the cracks.
See which lists, senders, and messages turn into replies and booked meetings. Flow AI's analytics focus purely on LinkedIn, so the numbers tell you exactly what's working without noise from other channels.
Email-first architecture. Instantly wins on inboxes and deliverability; LinkedIn is rarely the primary workspace.
LinkedIn execution is fragmented. Add-ons, extensions, and manual steps don’t match a native LinkedIn inbox and Auto-pilot.
Lists still come from elsewhere. Flow AI’s built-in search cuts the extra tools just to build a qualified LinkedIn list.
Three steps to find buyers, reach them at scale, and convert replies into booked calls.
Search a 300M+ database to build targeted lead lists—no Sales Navigator or separate enrichment tool required.
Run multi-sender LinkedIn sequences on Auto-pilot or use Co-pilot to approve every message before it sends.
Manage conversations in one inbox, follow up at the right time, and convert replies into booked calls.
Six reasons teams pick Flow AI when LinkedIn is their primary outbound channel.
