Visit Lemlist

Lemlist combines cold email with LinkedIn, calls, and SMS for multichannel sequences, layered with strong personalisation and a 650M+ lead database. It suits SMB sales teams that win on relevance and personalisation rather than raw sending volume.

Best for: SMB sales teams prioritising personalisation and multichannel

Pros

  • True multichannel: email + LinkedIn + calls + SMS
  • Best-in-class personalisation
  • 650M+ built-in lead database with email & phone finder

Cons

  • Higher entry price; multichannel priced per user
  • Less geared to pure high-volume sending than Instantly/Smartlead

Our verdict

Lemlist is the only tool in this catalog that treats email as one channel among several rather than the whole job, and that is the entire case for paying roughly double the cheaper platforms. LinkedIn, calls and SMS sit in the same sequence builder, personalisation is genuinely strong, and a 650M+ lead database is included rather than sold separately. The case against is equally clear: it is not built for raw volume, mailboxes are allocated per user rather than unlimited, and warmup — which competitors bundle — is a paid add-on. Buy it for relevance, not for scale.

How the pricing actually works

The email plan is $69/mo on monthly billing, dropping to $55/mo billed annually. Worth flagging: we previously recorded $55 as the headline here, which put an annual-billing figure next to competitors' monthly ones and understated Lemlist by about 25%. The monthly rate is the honest comparison. Two things inflate the real cost beyond the sticker: multichannel is priced per user, so team size multiplies it, and lemwarm (warmup) is an add-on rather than included. A 14-day trial with no credit card makes it cheap to evaluate.

Who it’s for

  • SMB sales teams whose outbound wins on personalisation and relevance rather than volume
  • Anyone running genuine multichannel sequences — LinkedIn steps especially
  • Buyers who would otherwise pay separately for a lead database

Who should look elsewhere

  • High-volume senders: mailboxes are 5 per user, not unlimited
  • Budget buyers — it is the most expensive entry point of the sending platforms here
  • Anyone assuming warmup is included; on Lemlist it is a paid add-on

Lemlist FAQs

How much does Lemlist actually cost?
$69/mo on monthly billing, or $55/mo billed annually. Comparisons that quote $55 against competitors' monthly prices are not like-for-like — we made that mistake ourselves and corrected it.
Is email warmup included with Lemlist?
No. Warmup is a paid add-on called lemwarm rather than part of the base subscription. Mailshake and Woodpecker both include warmup, which narrows the real price gap more than the sticker prices suggest.
How many mailboxes do I get?
On the entry Email plan, unlimited — the pricing page states unlimited users and email senders, checked 2026-08-16. The 5-senders-per-user allocation applies to the Multichannel plan, so if you want LinkedIn, calls and SMS alongside email, growing mailbox count there means adding users. For email alone Lemlist is not mailbox-capped.
Is Lemlist worth it over a cheaper sender?
Only if you will genuinely use the multichannel steps and the built-in database. If your sequences are email-only, you are paying a premium for capability you will not touch, and Smartlead or Saleshandy will do the job for less.
