Which one is for you
Pick Hyperise if
- Fits if your outreach tool takes image URLs and you want a custom picture per prospect
- Works for agencies, which have their own plans and white-label
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you only need images, at $69 a seat a month
- Tight on views: 5,000 a month on Images, and over that you get the plain fallback
- Too light on its own, as it personalizes content but sends nothing
- Watch out: yearly plans lock in for 12 months and prices here are monthly billing
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there is only the 14-day trial
Pick lemlist if
- Fits if your team mixes cold email with LinkedIn and calls in one sequence
- Works for an email-only team that can share the Email plan at $55 a month billed yearly
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you want LinkedIn for five people, at $87 a user a month billed yearly or $109 monthly
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as Freemium can't launch campaigns and the trial leaves out lemwarm and calling
- Tight if you need lead data, which starts at $16 a month billed yearly for 2,000 credits
- Watch out: on Multichannel, WhatsApp is $20 a user, extra senders $9 each, and SMS a $15 number plus 6 credits a text
- Watch out: SSO, custom roles and lemlist inside your CRM are Enterprise only, at a price set by sales
How we grade them
| 1.6GPAHyperiseWeak | 2.8GPAlemlistGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$69 a seat a month for images only, with website personalization at $99 and video at $149. The dearest tenth of the category starts at $120, and a plain image plan has only 5 active images. | AFive people share the Email plan, which has unlimited users: $55 a month billed yearly for 50,000 emails, $11 a head, a third of the cheaper quarter. LinkedIn, calls and SMS are another story: Multichannel is $87 per user billed yearly, in this category's dearest tenth. |
| Free plan and trial | C14 days free with no card. There is no free plan. | CNo free plan you can send from, since Freemium can't launch campaigns. The 14-day Multichannel trial needs no card and gives 200 credits and 50 emails a day, but leaves out lemwarm and calling. |
| Features | DOne narrow job: personalizing images, video and pages. It sends no campaigns and finds no leads, so a separate sender is needed. | BThe whole job: emails, LinkedIn invites, messages and voice notes, calls, SMS and WhatsApp in one sequence, with conditions and an automatic stop on a reply. Warm-up, a 650M-lead database and one inbox for every channel sit alongside. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You design the image templates and wire them into your sender with merge tags. | CNo App Store rating on record. There's a fair bit to set up, from senders and warm-up to conditional steps and personalized images, so give it a few days before a sequence feels right. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, and the listing names no integrations, though images work in any tool that takes an image URL. | BWeb, plus a Chrome extension that runs lemlist from Gmail and LinkedIn on Multichannel. HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zapier, Make, n8n, Clay and Aircall connect, and there's a public API. No phone or desktop app. |

Worth knowing
Hyperise
- Usage is capped by views and active templates, which rise only by adding seats.
- When views run out, images go into draft mode and show the fallback version without personalization.
- Yearly plans lock in for 12 months; monthly plans have no lock-in.
- Hyperise personalizes content only; it does not send campaigns, so a separate sender is needed.
lemlist
- No free plan for sending: after the trial, accounts drop to Freemium, which cannot launch campaigns. The trial itself leaves out lemwarm and calling.
- Lead data costs extra: the enrichment add-on is $16 a month billed yearly ($20 monthly) for 2,000 credits, and buying signals $21 ($29) for 100.
- On Multichannel, WhatsApp is $20 per user a month, extra email senders $9 each a month, and SMS needs a $15 a month number plus 6 credits a text.
- LinkedIn, SMS and calling need the per-user Multichannel plan; SSO, custom roles and CRM-embedded use are Enterprise 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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
