Cold Outreach

Our top three cold outreach tools

The first two are close. lemlist comes first because one sequence can mix email with LinkedIn, calls and texts, and its Email plan covers a whole team for one price. Saleshandy costs less to start and includes lead data every month, but its sequences reach less far beyond email. Waalaxy is third for anyone who prospects mainly on LinkedIn. Salesforge narrowly missed: email and LinkedIn from $40 a month, billed annually, but LinkedIn actions and AI writing draw on monthly credits. Instantly sends email only.

1. 1

   First: lemlist

   Free trial · from $55/mo

   For: Most teams, and anyone mixing cold email with LinkedIn

   lemlist runs sequences that mix email with LinkedIn visits, invites and messages, calls, SMS and WhatsApp, and stops them when a lead replies. The Email plan is $55 a month for 50,000 emails, billed yearly ($69 monthly), with unlimited users and the lemwarm warm-up included. It runs in a browser, and on Multichannel a Chrome extension runs it from Gmail and LinkedIn. Know the limits: LinkedIn, SMS and calling need Multichannel at $87 per user a month, billed yearly, lead data is an add-on from $16 a month, and after the 14-day trial there is no free plan you can send from.

   Second: Saleshandy

   Free trial · from $34/mo

   For: Senders who mainly use email and want lead data on the same bill

   Saleshandy sends sequences from unlimited connected mailboxes with warm-up and rotation, and every plan includes monthly credits for its Lead Finder of more than 850 million contacts. Starter is $34 a month for one user, 6,000 emails and 1,500 credits, billed yearly ($41 monthly); Pro is $76 ($99 monthly) for 10 users and 100,000 emails. It is second because lemlist's Multichannel plan adds LinkedIn invites and voice notes, SMS and a call dialer to the same sequence, while Saleshandy's dialer is an add-on from $23 a month, billed annually. CRM integrations start on Pro, and the 7-day trial stops at 100 emails.
