Octopus CRM review
A low-cost Chrome extension for core LinkedIn outreach workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Octopus CRM is a Chrome extension for LinkedIn prospecting and outreach. It is designed for business owners, recruiters, marketers, agencies and sales teams that want to organize prospects and automate recurring LinkedIn workflows. Its feature set covers personalized connection requests, bulk messages to first-level connections, automated follow-up campaigns, profile visits, skill endorsements and campaign performance analytics. It works with free LinkedIn, Premium, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite accounts.
Pricing is available monthly or annually, with a 7-day free trial and no permanent free plan. The published annual plans are Starter at $83.88 per year, Pro at $119.88, Advanced at $179.88 and Unlimited at $299.88. Monthly pricing is $9.99 for Starter, $14.99 for Pro, $21.99 for Advanced and $39.99 for Unlimited. The listed core highlights are the same across the first three tiers: personal CRM with stats, personalized auto-invites, bulk automated messages, profile viewing and skill endorsements. Unlimited also includes activity control. The annual starting price is $6.99 per month on annual billing.
Octopus CRM’s ecosystem fit is practical for teams that already work with common business tools. It supports CSV prospect import and export, Zapier and HubSpot integrations, and connections with Google Docs, Google Sheets, Zoho and Asana. Compatibility with Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite broadens its use for prospecting and recruiting workflows. The main trade-off is its delivery model: it is available as a Chrome extension, and each account is tied to a separate LinkedIn account and subscription. Choose it for affordable core automation around invitations, messaging and follow-ups; choose an alternative if you need a broader platform footprint or shared coverage across multiple LinkedIn accounts.
