The answer up front: choose Valley for a per-seat outbound workspace you can start month to month at $199 a seat (or $149 billed quarterly), with live buying signals, per-prospect research and LinkedIn plus email sending from the browser. Choose Amplemarket when you want a contact database, a parallel dialer, WhatsApp and a two-user package in one contract, and you can commit to $600 a month on an annual term.
Disclosure: Valley makes one of the tools discussed here. Where another tool is the better fit for your motion, this page says so. Vendor facts were read from the vendors' own pages on the dates named next to them.
How we know this category: Valley runs outbound for 1,000+ LinkedIn accounts and has sent 30M+ messages.
Valley is an AI outbound platform that finds the people most likely to buy from you - from live buying signals, natural-language search, or your own lists - qualifies them against your ICP, researches each one, and sends personalized messages across email and LinkedIn that get 15-45% reply rates, against a category average of about 2%.

Amplemarket is a serious overlapping alternative, not a database with a sender bolted on: Duo scans for buying signals, builds a sequence per buyer and learns from what reps edit and dismiss. Rating terms and the seven-stage method are defined once on how Valley compares outbound tools, so this page spends its words on the differences that are specific to this vendor.
Three differences that decide it
1. The contract shape: two annual users versus one monthly seat
Amplemarket's Startup plan is $600 a month on an annual term with two users included, 27,000 contacts, 13,500 email credits per user per year and community onboarding. Growth (four users, 140,000 contacts) and Elite (ten users, 400,000 contacts) are priced on request. The pricing page shows no monthly term and says every plan includes a free trial without stating its length. Do not divide $600 by two to invent a one-user price: the package is two users for $7,200 a year.
Valley is priced per seat, billed monthly or quarterly, with a 7-day trial. A founder validating one segment pays for one seat and stops when the test is over. A two-person team that will use both Amplemarket seats on day one is comparing like with like; a solo seller is not.
2. Where LinkedIn actually runs
Amplemarket's sequences include LinkedIn connection requests, messages, profile visits, follows, likes, voice messages and video messages (step types in its knowledge base). Those steps need your LinkedIn account connected and the Chrome extension installed. None of the pages read on October 8, 2026 state whether LinkedIn steps run while the extension is closed, or what the daily caps are, so ask for that in writing before you buy. Email sends from your own Gmail, Microsoft 365 or SMTP mailboxes, two per user on Startup.
Valley runs LinkedIn and email campaigns from a browser workspace with nothing to install, and every message waits for your approval before it goes. Email is an optional add-on on Starter and included from Plus.
3. How the writing learns, and what it learns from
Duo deserves full credit here. Its product page says that when reps consistently edit Duo's suggested sequences it picks up those patterns and updates messaging preferences automatically, and that it learns from what reps dismiss. Tone and persona rules live in a Duo Control Center you configure; Duo Inbox drafts replies from scenarios you define and sends nothing automatically, and it sits on the Elite plan. Signals are broad: Slack community activity, competitors' G2 reviews, job changes, funding, website visits and closed-lost reactivation (signals page).
Valley starts from the research: each prospect gets an open-web dossier with its sources, the draft is written in your voice from your own writing, and campaign replies land in one inbox with that context attached. If you want to see how the two approaches differ on the same person, the personalization evaluation guide has the test.

Line items that are not on either price card: Amplemarket's parallel dialer runs up to five lines, Pipedrive connects through Zapier only, and MCP and AI Agents are listed as add-ons without saying whether they are paid. Valley's credits are spent on finding prospects and verifying emails, and Growth includes $300 of them a month. The stack-cost guide shows how to put both on one annual line.
When to choose Amplemarket
You need a contact database and phone numbers inside the tool: it claims 200M+ profiles refreshed weekly with a bounce rate under 3%, and phone credits are on every plan.
Calling is part of the motion. The parallel dialer, voicemail drops and call transcripts are native, and CloudTalk, Nooks and Orum connect to it.
You run two or more sellers today and want Salesforce two-way or HubSpot real-time sync, WhatsApp and iMessage steps, and a CSM.
An annual budget is already approved and consolidation is the goal. One customer quote on the pricing page claims tooling costs cut by about 56%.
When to choose Valley
You are one seat, or you want to pay monthly and prove the motion before committing a year.
LinkedIn is the first channel and you want it run from the cloud with nothing on your laptop, with email alongside.
You want to see the research and its sources behind every draft, and approve each send.
You want buying signals and natural-language search to pick the people, rather than filtering a database yourself.
A test to run on both
Take the same 50 accounts with a new revenue leader, the same exclusion list and one offer. In Amplemarket, walk the Duo workflow from signal to suggested sequence and check which inbox and which Duo features are in the tier you are quoted. In Valley, open five prospects and read the fit explanation, the sources and the draft side by side. Count the edits you make before you would send, and count the replies in week two. The reply-rate benchmarks tell you what a good week looks like.
Give your sales team
an unfair advantage.
FAQ
Does Amplemarket have a monthly plan? Not on the pricing page read on October 8, 2026. Startup is shown on an annual term; Growth and Elite are custom. Ask sales before assuming a monthly option exists.
Does Amplemarket automate LinkedIn? Yes. Connection requests, messages, visits, follows, likes, voice and video messages are sequence steps. They run through a connected LinkedIn account and the Chrome extension, and the pages read do not publish daily caps.
Which is cheaper for one person? Valley Starter at $199 a month, or $149 billed quarterly, against Amplemarket Startup at $600 a month on an annual term for two users. For two sellers who will use both seats, compare $7,200 a year with two Valley seats on the plan you actually need.
Does Valley include a contact database? Valley finds prospects from live buying signals, natural-language search and your own lists, and verifies emails with credits. It does not sell a static database; Amplemarket does.
What are reviewers saying? G2 and Capterra blocked automated reads on October 8, 2026, so no score is quoted here. Themes reported second-hand are ease of use and consolidation on the praise side, and learning curve, CRM customization limits and mixed data accuracy on the complaint side. Read the live pages before relying on either.
