Where HeyReach falls short
API is outbound-only
HeyReach's public API and MCP server cover outbound campaigns (campaigns, leads, inbox, senders, stats) but cannot publish content, search profiles, read feeds, or pull post analytics.
Outbound campaigns only
Cannot publish content, read feeds, search profiles, track post analytics, or manage inbox intelligence. Covers one of six LinkedIn categories.
No content or analytics tools
You need Taplio or Buffer for content, and there is no post analytics, profile analytics, or engagement tracking.
Data lock-in
All contact data, message history, and campaign analytics stored on HeyReach servers. 30-day deletion window after account termination.
