Meet Alfred, like Jobin.cloud, automates LinkedIn lead generation and both save a lot of time for any marketers, sales person and recruiters.

With Meet Alfred you should use Sales Navigator to perform the search and you need cut and paste of the LinkedIn URL. Same operation is possible with Jobin.cloud but just clicking a 'start import' button. Furthermore, Jobin.cloud offers also some selection of quantity and a very useful possibility to give tags, notes and assign that group of prospects directly into a pipeline.

Security

Meet Alfred asks for your LinkedIn credential and use them to log-in on your behalf from its remote servers.

Jobin.cloud does not ask you for any password, and do not log in on your social media account on your behalf. Instead, it is your own browser that performs operations taking commands from the plug-in.

Meet Alfred is hard on LinkedIn servers because is using an old technology on cloud servers. LinkedIn can clearly see a login on your account with your credentials from Meet Alfred's data servers. That is a suspicious behaviour for some social platforms as LinkedIn.

However, login from a remote server or from your own machine has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of Jobin.cloud is that you have full control and the remote servers believes that is you performing the operations. The disadvantage is that you must maintain your browser on, to allow the functionality.
With Meet Alfred you do not need your browser on, because it is a remote machine that log to your social accounts on your behalf. However, in this way, Meet Alfred put your social accounts in a slightly awkward situation where the social platforms you log in (LinkedIn for example), see you logging in from different locations (IP) and different devices 😨
LinkedIn is particularly 'nervous' about this behaviour and you should be extremely careful about this usage to keep your own account safe from restrictions and ban.

Throttling

Both Meet Alfred and Jobin.cloud have some sort of throttling system and management of gradual increase of LinkedIn activity.

Meet Alfred do not have enough control when it comes to the time delay setting and the throttling system. It tends also to work quite fast and that is a bad trigger for LinkedIn that do not likes automation.

Messaging campaign

With Meet Alfred, you put all people resulting from a LinkedIn search into a messaging campaign where you send invites to connect using custom messages.
The campaign is your focus of attention and you assign leads in it.

In Jobin.cloud, your focus of attention are people. So you have your leads list, and you can pre-screen and filter them or also apply complex criteria to rank according to the best fitting with your ideal prospect profile.
When done with the list cleaning, you assign the best to your campaign.

The good thing is that in Jobin.cloud you have very detailed people profiles so, for example, after a few months, you can maybe re-select some of them and set up a new messaging for these people keeping a full history of their complete journey and their comments and reactions along several kind of interactions and maybe different campaigns.

So Meet Alfred, is nice to manage single outreach campaigns, and Jobin.cloud is better when you are interested long-term relation with your audience sending one or multiple campaigns and taking track of complex and long-term interaction with your prospects that maybe are now customers or may have changed their careers.

An interesting feature of Meet Alfred is the one which allows you to give a like to the last Twitter post of your lead.
That action could increase the possibility to engage with that person. Of course, the Twitter account is not always available but that is another issue.
