Which one is for you
Pick Emelia if
- Fits if you want email and LinkedIn outreach from one tool
- Works for small teams with three or fewer mailboxes
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you have more than 3 mailboxes or 1 LinkedIn account, because Start stops there and Grow is $81 a month
- Pricey if you add LinkedIn accounts, as each extra one is $29 a month
- Watch out: finding contacts spends credits, from $19 for 1,000, and a phone number costs 50 of them
- Skip it if you need priority support on the cheapest plan, since it begins at Grow
Pick La Growth Machine if
- Fits if you prospect on LinkedIn and want email to follow when a lead doesn't accept
- Works for teams on Pro or above that answer every channel's replies from one shared inbox
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if five of you send, as Pro is $110 per identity a month billed annually or $135 monthly
- Tight if you're on Basic, with 3 identities, 1 sending email each and no calls
- Skip it if you need HubSpot or Pipedrive sync without paying for Ultimate at $165 an identity
- Watch out: invited members can answer replies but not launch campaigns, and leads past the monthly allowance cost a credit each
- Not for you if you want a phone or desktop app, as it's web only

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
