FAQ

Questions? We've got answers.

Is Northlight really safer than Meet Alfred?
Yes. Northlight runs through your real browser session on your own machine — LinkedIn sees your actual IP, your real browser fingerprint, and natural human behavior. Cloud-based tools like Meet Alfred route actions through data center IPs, which LinkedIn actively detects. Browser-based tools have an 8% restriction rate vs 31% for cloud-based tools.
How long does it take to switch from Meet Alfred to Northlight?
Most users are up and running in under 30 minutes. Download Northlight, sign in, connect your LinkedIn and CRM through your browser, and start building sequences in plain English. No API keys, no complex setup.
Is Northlight cheaper than Meet Alfred?
Northlight Pro is $80/mo flat — not per seat. When you factor in the tools Northlight replaces (LinkedIn automation + email sequencing + CRM connector + data enrichment), most teams save 50-80% on their total outreach stack cost.
Will my LinkedIn account get banned using Northlight?
Northlight is built to avoid the patterns that get accounts flagged. Because it operates through your real browser session with your actual IP address, your activity looks far more like normal manual use than the cloud-based tools LinkedIn actively detects. We also enforce safe daily limits and randomized timing. No tool can guarantee immunity, but this architecture removes the automation signals LinkedIn flags most.
What does Northlight do that a LinkedIn tool doesn't?
Northlight replaces your entire outreach stack — not just LinkedIn automation. It handles email sequences, CRM logging (HubSpot, Salesforce), data enrichment, prospecting, and follow-up sequences, all from one chat-based interface.
Can I try Northlight before fully switching?
Absolutely. Most users run Northlight alongside Meet Alfred for a week to compare results. Once you're confident, cancel Meet Alfred and consolidate everything into Northlight.
