lemlist

Cold outreach across email, LinkedIn, calls and WhatsApp

lemlist runs outbound campaigns end to end: find the people, verify how to reach them, and sequence the messages. A database of more than 650 million contacts sits behind an email and phone number finder, so a list can be built and enriched inside the tool rather than imported from somewhere else. Sequences are multichannel, mixing email with LinkedIn steps, calls through a built-in dialler, SMS and WhatsApp, and replies land in one shared inbox. A deliverability hub warms mailboxes and monitors whether messages are reaching inboxes at all, which is the part that usually decides whether a campaign works. lemAgent adds AI agents that research leads, watch for intent signals and personalise messages. The Email plan is priced per workspace with unlimited users; Multichannel is per user with five senders each.

What are the main pros and cons of using lemlist for multichannel outreach?

Users appreciate that lemlist allows them to combine email, LinkedIn, and calls within a single sequence, which avoids the need to manage separate tools. It is often described as a solid all-rounder for teams that prioritize personalization and want to avoid manual enrollment. However, some users find its LinkedIn automation to be thinner or less effective than specialized alternatives, and others report that the interface can feel complex or unintuitive.

How does lemlist's pricing compare to other options?

Several users note that lemlist's pricing can become expensive as teams grow, particularly because it uses a per-seat model. For smaller teams or those with lower volume, the cost is sometimes viewed as steep compared to alternatives like Instantly, Smartlead, or Mystrika, which may offer more affordable or unlimited-seat plans.

What do users say about lemlist's deliverability and warmup features?

Opinions are mixed. Some users credit lemlist's 'lemwarm' feature with helping them maintain good inbox placement and deliverability. Others report that they have experienced poor deliverability despite using the tool, leading some to use third-party warmup services instead. It is also noted that the tool's performance is heavily dependent on the user's own domain authentication and sending practices.

“First finding my TAM (some custom code & discolike), and then from companies to emails with apollo & lemlist leads. But once I have the emails I keep sending to them every 30-45 days (of course removing no's, but that's just a tiny percent).”

“OpenAI generates 7 pieces of copy per contact: 2 emails with subjects, a LinkedIn connection note, and 2 LinkedIn follow-ups. Emails go out through Lemlist automatically. LinkedIn copy lands in Google Sheets for manual or Phantom-assisted sending.”

“Tbh I've never used Lemlist for outreach, but could be cool to try”

“You forgot Lemlist”
johnciech · reddit ·
“Basically borrowed the stack that a bunch of people in outbound communities were already running anyway (feel free to steal it lol), and switched to Apollo for the base lists, FullEnrich for coverage gaps, Clay to wire everything together, and Lemlist for sequences.”
dettol99perc · reddit ·
“The data side went the same direction, with tools like Apollo or FullEnrich pulling contact info from a LinkedIn profile in seconds instead of needing a separate data subscription, and the outreach layer was already nearly free before any of this, with things like Lemlist or Instantly running full sequences for a fraction of what a sales hire costs.”

“Currently we have a sales person running my linked in and she does cold outreach using LinkedIn sales navigator and emailing using Lemlist - she’s a contractor and we pay her £1000 a month, she’s the most successful avenue we’ve tried and has got us quite a few meetings in the first quarter of doing it.”
Maleficent_Guard_462 · reddit ·
“So right now when a signal clears, it kicks off a multichannel sequence through Lemlist automatically (email, LinkedIn and calling) from one flow without anyone having to manually enroll the account, which is where most of the overhead was sitting before.”

“FullEnrich first then Clay picks up what it missed so you know the contact's real, then Lemlist handles the sequences with Claude on personalizations and Gmail as the sender, and once a client's running I'm in it maybe a few hours a week.”
Comfortable_Damage20 · reddit ·
“Getting the detection side wired wasn't the issue, but connecting it to a multichannel sequence without manual enrollment was, so the agent now enriches through Clay and routes into Lemlist for the sequence, where Lemlist's own credit-based intent signals run in parallel.”
Castieell99 · reddit ·
“Nothing in the motion has changed much since we're still building lists through Clay off hiring signals and tech stack triggers, running sequences through Lemlist across email and LinkedIn, at roughly the same volume as when it was working.”

“Smartlead looks solid, Lemlist too. or should i just stick with Instantly and sort out the lead data problem first?”
_beanzzz · reddit ·
“What is Lemlist?”
OldLie1102 · reddit ·
“We use HubSPot and every activity is automatic. Linkedin (via LemList integration), Aircall for call/sms, HubSpot for email/calendar/meetings. Grain for all transcriptions automatically in.”

“So the LinkedIn session cookie does leave the browser and is sent to lemlist's infrastructure.”

“6 of the 7 data sources, + Instantly, lemlist, PredictLeads & Attio sit behind the ColdIQ”

“The first-ever Lemlist email with my name written on a mug was cute. The second Lemlist email disgusted me.”
alexnapierholland · reddit ·
“Most cold outreach and warmup tools (like Lemlist or Instantly) are expensive SaaS platforms that hold all your prospect lists on their servers.”
rakhim_abdulkhanov · reddit ·
“Tried something similar with hubspot and the sync is always the weak link in my experience lemlist does push back into crm but once you add linkedin steps it gets messy real fast”
Zealousideal_Head924 · reddit ·
“So basically I stand at a position where my only goal is to pitch a client and then make my first sale. Keeping cold calling aside I tried instagram dms and same results more than 500+ messages no response. Then I tried emailing 2-3 people a day with a regular gmail no results gmail got spammed. I have also been looking for potential clients on skool communities but trust me everyone there is looking for the same thing.”
AI-Demonbuilds · reddit ·
“I'm not going to compare it to established tools like Instantly, Smartlead, or Lemlist — those are mature products with years of work behind them, and this isn't trying to compete with that yet. This is early, and I'd rather be upfront about that than oversell it.”

“The keepers can go into Monday (our CRM) and Lemlist (our outbound tool). Warm introductions first, not another purchased list.”

“To follow up on that, I wanted to break down what actually leaves your bank account when you evaluate the bottom of the price ladder, especially if you're trying to avoid dropping $79/mo on something like Lemlist Email Pro just to test the waters.”

“Have heard Lemlist's intergrations not being the smoothest, not used heyreach so cannot add.”
