Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 61 of the 81 other cold outreach tools we grade
Emelia combines cold email sequences, LinkedIn outreach, email warm-up and lead sourcing in one platform. Plans scale by the number of mailboxes and LinkedIn accounts rather than by emails sent, with unlimited sending, contacts and warm-up on every plan. Email finding, phone finding, verification and AI actions are paid for with optional credits.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Emelia, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You connect mailboxes, a LinkedIn account and a CRM before sending.

Best for cold email and LinkedIn in one tool
Emelia runs cold email and LinkedIn sequences with warm-up, lead sourcing and AI replies.

The report card
Best for cold email and LinkedIn in one tool
Emelia runs cold email and LinkedIn sequences with warm-up, lead sourcing and AI replies. Start is $31 a month on yearly billing, but it covers 3 mailboxes and 1 LinkedIn account, and finding contacts costs credits.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $31 a month billed yearly for Start, between the cheaper quarter at $25 and the middle at $39 once monthly billing is counted. Grow is $81. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 7-day free trial with no card needed. No free plan. |
| Features | B | Email and LinkedIn sequences, warm-up and rotation, lead sourcing, AI writing and an API. Nothing in the core outreach job is missing from the listing. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You connect mailboxes, a LinkedIn account and a CRM before sending. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with Sales Navigator, LinkedIn, one or more CRMs and an API with webhooks. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Emelia is for
- Fits if you want email and LinkedIn outreach from one tool
- Works for small teams with three or fewer mailboxes
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Freelancers and small teams that want email and LinkedIn in one tool
- Agencies that need many mailboxes at a flat price
- Senders who want unlimited volume instead of per-email billing
Worth knowing
- Mailbox and LinkedIn account counts set the plan: 3 and 1 on Start, 50 and 3 on Grow, and unlimited and 10 on Scale; extra LinkedIn accounts are $29 a month each.
- Credits for finding emails, phone numbers and AI actions are optional, from $19 for 1,000, and stay valid for one year after purchase.
- A phone number lookup costs 50 credits, about $0.95; an email found costs 1 credit, about $0.019.
- Start includes one CRM integration and standard support; priority support begins at Grow.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Emelia you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 61 of the 81 other cold outreach tools we grade. It costs $372 a year.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- A network of real inboxes that open and answer your emails.
- One mailbox that several people work at once.
- Checking that an address exists without writing to it.
- It plugs into other products, Sales Navigator and LinkedIn among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Emelia’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
