Three reasons it's different
Expandi sends. Banyan writes.
Expandi is a great delivery engine — it sends LinkedIn messages safely, at scale, with dedicated IPs. But you write the messages. Banyan handles the writing too: AI that reads the prospect's profile, their recent posts, and drafts each message from scratch in your voice.
Warm signals come built-in
With Expandi you bring the lead list. With Banyan, the lead list is generated automatically from who's engaged with you — post commenters, page visitors, followers. Warm signals are the product, not an add-on.
INR pricing, half the cost
Expandi starts at $99/mo (~₹8,300 before forex fees). Banyan Growth is ₹3,499/mo — less than half the price, billed in rupees, no forex surprises, with AI personalisation included.
