lemlist
Cold email and LinkedIn sequences with a built-in lead database
Our verdict
First of our top three cold outreach tools
For: Most teams, and anyone mixing cold email with LinkedIn
lemlist runs sequences that mix email with LinkedIn visits, invites and messages, calls, SMS and WhatsApp, and stops them when a lead replies. The Email plan is $55 a month for 50,000 emails, billed yearly ($69 monthly), with unlimited users and the lemwarm warm-up included. It runs in a browser, and on Multichannel a Chrome extension runs it from Gmail and LinkedIn. Know the limits: LinkedIn, SMS and calling need Multichannel at $87 per user a month, billed yearly, lead data is an add-on from $16 a month, and after the 14-day trial there is no free plan you can send from.

Best for email and LinkedIn in one sequence
lemlist does the whole cold outreach job: email, LinkedIn, calls and texts in one sequence that stops when someone answers, with warm-up thrown in. For email alone it's cheap for a team, as the Email plan has no per-person charge. Add LinkedIn and it becomes one of the dearest tools here, at $87 a person.
Who lemlist is for
- Great if your team mixes cold email with LinkedIn and calls
- Handy when a whole team shares the Email plan, with no charge per person
- A treat if you personalize with images and conditional text
Who lemlist is not for
- Pricey if you want LinkedIn for five people, at $87 a user a month billed yearly
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as Freemium can't launch campaigns
- Tight if you need lead data, which starts at $16 a month billed yearly for 2,000 credits
Why lemlist gets a 2.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyFive 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.
- CFree plan and trialNo 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.
- BFeaturesThe 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.
- CEase of useNo 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.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, 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.

Keep lemlist, or make your own?
Keep it

It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 17 of the 20 other cold outreach tools we grade. It costs $660 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- It plugs into other products, HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. lemlist’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.
