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 SalesBlink if
- Fits if you want unlimited mailboxes and warm-up on one plan
- Works for people starting at 10,000 emails a month
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need the API or integrations on the cheap plan, since both start at Growth
- Tight if you send over 10,000 emails a month on Starter
- Watch out: extra verification credits are one-time buys, from $29 for 10,000
- Not for you if you want mailbox setup included, as that is priced separately

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.
