Can AI replace Omentir?
The personal loop is buildable in a sitting: score a list you already have, draft connection notes, queue sends, stop on replies. Live LinkedIn send is Unipile, a paid API, not a trivial key, and LinkedIn will still restrict a real account if you ignore the caps. The hosted product's own repo is already MIT with Docker Compose, so the interesting move is clone-and-run, not a from-scratch rebuild. That fork still needs Firebase, Unipile, and Gemini, which is ops. Keep paying if you want them to run those three, plus the three-bookings-a-week refund.
Replacing a paid app means you set it up and keep it running: hosting, updates and backups can be on you. What you give up.
01What it costs
Checked Aug 17, 2026 · source: omentir.com. No free hosted plan. The MIT repo can be self-hosted, but Unipile, Firebase, and an AI provider still cost money.
| Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $49 | — | 1 user, 1 LinkedIn account, unlimited AI agents, unlimited leads, unlimited campaigns, API access. |
| Enterprise | — | — | Unlimited users, unlimited LinkedIn accounts, SSO, dedicated onboarding, priority support. |
Hidden costs: Hosted Pro does not publish provider overages. Self-hosting the same repo still requires Unipile, Firebase or Firestore, and Gemini or Vertex.
02Could AI build it for you?
The core job: Import LinkedIn profile URLs you already have, score them against an ICP, draft connection notes and follow-ups, send through Unipile or by hand, and stop the sequence when a reply lands.
What a working version needs:
- CSV of LinkedIn profile URLs you already have
- OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini API key
- optional Unipile account with one LinkedIn account connected
- Node with SQLite (better-sqlite3)
Hosted Pro at omentir.com is $49/month, checked 2026-08-17. Same codebase is MIT. Do not treat the GitHub repo as a free alternative: Unipile, Firebase, and Gemini still cost money.
03What you'd give up
- the three-bookings-a-week refund on the hosted plan
- someone else paying for and babysitting Unipile, Firebase, and Gemini
- daily invite caps already wired, so you do not have to invent account-safety defaults
- MCP and the Agent API already pointed at a running workspace
- a support line when a sending account gets restricted
They pay $49 so they do not have to stand up Unipile, Firebase, and Gemini, and so a missed week of bookings can be refunded. The MIT repo is the same app; self-hosting just moves the vendor invoices onto you.
