Which one is for you
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
Pick Lemwarm if
- Fits if you send cold email from a few inboxes and want them warmed up
- Works for lemlist users, since every lemlist plan already includes it
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to try it first, as there is no trial or free plan
- Pricey if you run many inboxes, because the price is per connected email address
- Too light for finding leads or sending campaigns, which need other tools
- Watch out: personalized warm-up emails and warming your own templates need Smart at $40 an inbox
How we grade them
| 2.8GPAlemlistGood | 1.6GPALemwarmWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | B$24 an inbox a month on yearly billing ($29 monthly), just under the $25 that opens the cheaper quarter of cold-outreach tools. It is priced per inbox, so ten inboxes cost $240. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | FNo free plan and no trial on the pricing page. |
| Features | 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. | DWarm-up, a deliverability score and a setup check, and nothing else. It needs a separate tool to find leads and send campaigns. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CNo store rating on record. You connect each mailbox and read the reports. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | CWeb only, and the listing names no integrations. |
| Best for | email and LinkedIn in one sequence | warming up sending inboxes |

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.
