The short version
La Growth Machine is a multichannel sequencer: one flow that moves a lead between LinkedIn, email and X, with conditions, branches and A/B tests, priced per identity from €60/mo. It is the stronger pick if you think in sequences and want every channel aimed at the same person. Nova is LinkedIn-first. You describe your customer, and an ICP agent finds matching people every working day with a reason for each score. Nova researches each prospect, warms the lead up with a profile view and a like, drafts the first message in your voice, and waits for your approval before anything sends. Email runs from your own mailbox, as its own campaign or as the follow-up to an invite nobody accepted.
What La Growth Machine does well
Multichannel sequencing is its core, and it is good at it. One sequence can send a LinkedIn request, branch on whether it was accepted, and switch to email if not; X steps and calls are available on higher plans. Sequences support A/B tests on subject lines and on whether a request carries a note. It has waterfall enrichment across contact providers, lookalike company search, AI-generated voice messages (you record once, and AI generates a per-lead intro), AI message copy, and a shared inbox for LinkedIn and email replies with tags and Slack alerts. It is cloud-based with no browser extension, and says each identity sends through a dedicated 5G mobile proxy near its real location. Basic is €60/mo per identity and Pro €120/mo, with a 14-day trial and no card (lagrowthmachine.com/pricing, October 2026).

The real difference: sequence logic or lead quality
LGM's strength is what happens after a lead enters a sequence: which channel, which branch, which variant. Nova's is what happens before: whether the lead fits, what is true about them right now, and whether they have seen your name before the invite arrives. Both matter. If your list is already good, sequence logic is where the gains are. If it isn't, a better sequence sends the wrong message to the wrong person across three channels instead of one. The lead generation guide covers why the list decides most of the result.
Choose La Growth Machine if
- You want one sequence that alternates LinkedIn, email and X steps at the same person, with branches on what they did.
- You A/B test your sequences and want that built in.
- You want calls or X as a channel. Nova covers LinkedIn and email only.
- You want waterfall enrichment and lookalike company search inside the same tool.
Choose Nova if
- LinkedIn is your main channel and you want each lead warmed up with real engagement before the invite.
- You want every first message based on research about that person, written in your voice, with you approving it before it sends.
- You want daily budgets per account that the product enforces, with anything over budget held until tomorrow.
- You want an ICP agent to find and score leads every working day, so you review a queue instead of building lists.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nova or La Growth Machine better for multichannel outreach?
La Growth Machine, if you want one sequence that moves the same person between channels. LGM sequences mix LinkedIn, email and X steps with conditions, for example "if a lead accepts your LinkedIn request, send a message; if not, switch to email", and they support A/B tests. A Nova campaign runs one channel, LinkedIn or email. On a LinkedIn campaign, an invite still unaccepted after 7 days moves to email automatically, and Nova never aims both channels at the same person at once. Nova is the better fit if LinkedIn is your main channel and you want the lead found, researched and warmed up before the invite.
How much does La Growth Machine cost compared with Nova?
La Growth Machine prices per identity (a sender): Basic is €60/mo for LinkedIn and email with up to 3 identities and 3 active campaigns, and Pro is €120/mo, adding calls, a rotating inbox and unlimited identities (lagrowthmachine.com/pricing, October 2026). Both have a 14-day trial with no card. Nova Growth is $99/mo per sender, and Nova Agency is $399/mo for 5 senders plus $69/mo per extra sender, with every feature on both plans and a 7-day trial with no card.
Does Nova do A/B testing like La Growth Machine?
No. Nova has no A/B testing of message variants. Instead of sending two versions of one template, Nova researches each prospect and drafts a message for that person, which you approve before it sends. If A/B testing your sequences is how you work, La Growth Machine supports it, including subject lines and whether a connection request carries a note.
