GTM Plays vs Valley

GTM Plays and Valley both turn buying signals into outreach. The difference is scope and pricing. Valley runs signal plays across LinkedIn and email, priced per seat with credits for discovery and enrichment. GTM Plays focuses on LinkedIn: it finds intent signals, scores fit, writes and sends each message, on a $149 a month Pro plan.

How each one works

GTM Plays

1. The agent finds people showing intent signals.
2. It scores each one for fit against your ICP.
3. It writes a message for each person that references the signal.
4. It sends it from your own LinkedIn account.
5. Replies come into one inbox, where you take over.

It does not book meetings by itself.

Valley

According to its site, you paste in your website so its assistant, Scout, learns what you sell. You choose a play, such as people engaging with your content, companies hiring, a competitor's audience or your own list. Valley finds buyers, checks fit, researches a reason to reach out and drafts messages in your voice for review. It runs the sequence on connected LinkedIn and email accounts and brings replies into a unified inbox. It also connects to Claude and ChatGPT through MCP, HubSpot, an API and webhooks.

Where Valley is stronger

• Email as well as LinkedIn, in the same sequence (an add-on on its entry plan).
• A library of pre-built plays.
• MCP and API access, for teams that drive outbound from AI assistants.

Where GTM Plays is stronger

• Simple pricing. Pro is $149 a month, and each extra agent is $59 a month.
• LinkedIn focus. If LinkedIn is your channel, there is less to configure.
• Competitor audiences on demand. Live Leads extracts a company page's followers or a post's engagers, paid per lead with credits and separate from Pro.

Feature by feature

Finding prospects

GTM Plays starts from intent signals: it watches for people showing buying intent, scores each one for fit against your ICP and only then writes to them. Valley also works from signals: it researches prospects and checks fit, with discovery and enrichment drawing on credits.

Writing and sending

GTM Plays writes a message for each prospect that references the signal it found, and sends it from your own LinkedIn account. Valley drafts LinkedIn and email messages in your voice for you to review. One seat connects one LinkedIn account.

Inbox and follow-up

Replies come into one inbox where you take over. It does not book meetings by itself; you handle the conversation from the first reply. For email, GTM Plays connects to Instantly, Smartlead and SmartReach rather than sending email itself; Valley's Plus plan includes email sending.

Integrations

GTM Plays connects to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Attio, folk, Breakcold, Instantly, Smartlead, SmartReach, HeyReach, Slack, Clay and Zapier, plus webhooks, a REST API and an MCP server. You can export to CSV and use credits for email and phone enrichment.

Who each one suits

GTM Plays suits founders and small teams who want signal-led LinkedIn outreach at a lower monthly price.

Valley suits teams who want pre-built signal plays across LinkedIn and email in one product, and are happy to pay per seat for it.

Migration checklist: switching to GTM Plays from Valley

1. Export your leads and conversation history from Valley.
2. Pause running campaigns before connecting the same LinkedIn account to another tool. Two automation tools on one account at once is risky.
3. Write down your ICP in plain terms: roles, company size, industries and the signals that mattered.
4. Exclude people already contacted, including anyone mid-sequence.
5. Reconnect your CRM and test on a small batch first.
6. Compare replies per hundred prospects after two weeks before cancelling anything.

Which should you choose?

• Choose Valley if you want LinkedIn and email together, and pre-built plays.
• Choose GTM Plays if LinkedIn is your main channel and you want a flat monthly plan.

Either way, start with a clear ideal customer profile and strong buying signals. Read our Valley alternatives page for more options, or start a 7-day free trial.
