Agentic Index

Closely is outreach automation: campaigns, contact collection and verification, email alongside LinkedIn, from 49 dollars a month with an aggressive annual discount. Kakiyo is an autonomous LinkedIn SDR that runs entire conversations, connection request through objection handling to a booked meeting, from 115 dollars a month with every feature on every plan.
This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. Closely and Kakiyo are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 956 researched vendors.

Choose Closely if
- You want automation you drive, sequences and campaigns, not conversations run for you.
- Email plus LinkedIn in one tool covers your two channel motion cheaply.
- The 29 dollar annual entry is the lowest cost of anything in this lane.
Choose Kakiyo if
- Conversation handling is the bottleneck: replies and objections sitting unanswered.
- Full autonomy through booking means the calendar fills without your attention.
- Volume based tiers with identical features keep the upgrade decision honest.
