Kennected review

Cut and defunct: a LinkedIn automation tool (not an email agency) that received a LinkedIn cease-and-desist, rebranded to SalesAi in mid-2024 with most of the team gone, after widespread account bans and opaque pricing.

Verdict

Out of scope and out of business. Kennected was a LinkedIn outreach automation tool, not a done-for-you cold-email agency, and it was effectively shut down after a cease-and-desist from LinkedIn, rebranding to SalesAi in mid-2024 with most of the team departing. Users reported widespread LinkedIn account bans and suspensions, a steep $1,497 onboarding fee with opaque and inconsistent monthly pricing, and poor support. Automated LinkedIn outreach violates LinkedIn's ToS regardless of 'safe' limits. Listed here as an explicit avoid.
