“Lemlist handles personalized email sequences well but its LinkedIn automation is thinner than HeyReach's. If the dialer is a hard requirement, that alone narrows you to Amplemarket since neither HeyReach nor Lemlist ships one natively.”
“Lemlist makes more sense if email is a bigger part of the mix, while Amplemarket is quite comprehensive but can be more than you need at <1k messages/week.”
“We also used Lemlist and while emails were good the LinkedIn automation tanked our reps engagement on LinkedIn because their automations are technically against the terms of service.”
“Lemlist feels like the better fit for a smaller team wanting LinkedIn + email + calls in one workflow, while Amplemarket makes more sense if you also care about data, signals, and deeper automation.”
“I myself use Amplemarket for my own business. I'm somebody who used to consolidate a lot of tech stacks, where people use tools like ZoomInfo, Lemlist, SalesLoft, and Outreach.”
“I’m a lemlist user myself, and what I like about it is that you can actually combine LinkedIn + email + calls in the same sequence. So you’re not managing a LinkedIn tool + an email tool + a dialer separately.”
“That said, for 2 SDRs wanting multichannel, Lemlist can make sense. Two gotchas before you migrate though, pricing is per seat, tolerable at 2-3 seats but it starts to hurt around 4-5, so I’d consider pricing the team you'll have in a year, not the one you have now.”
“Decided to make the jump a while ago and don't regret it, instantly felt like flying blind half the time with deliverability tracking, lemlist gives you a much better layout of what's actually converting. If your budget allows it definitely pull the trigger.”
“I think it's because they can see your profile, your company, your content, so there's already more trust before they reply,lemlist tracks the source so you can compare this yourself once you're set up.”
“Thinking about switching to lemlist mostly for the multichannel but want to make sure leads are actually as good, not just people accepting connections out of politeness.”
“I've been looking at Lemlist as an alternative because it seems to do multichannel (email + LinkedIn) natively and has better personalization features. But the pricing is higher and I don't want to switch just because the marketing is better.”
“Honestly, just setting it up this week, and for now I kind of like it. Yes the warming up of the mails is a bit dumb and intransparent, but it could be decent.”
“I would not use this tool again for cold outreach, although the fact that it connects with LinkedIn is nice - i didn't test the LinkedIn part, but I heard that one is better.”
“Lemlist covers both channels in one place which is why I'm kinda leaning towards them but how solid are they actually right now? Haven't touched the platform in a while (probably over a year at this point) honestly not sure if there are sharper tools out there or if it makes more sense to just build something with n8n.”
“Lemlist shines when personalization is a big part of the strategy, but it can get expensive fast at scale. At the end of the day, though, list quality and deliverability usually matter more than the sending platform.”
“Lemlist is nice for custom stuff but the cost climbs fast and deliverability has been worse for volume. If you want more pipeline without adding more send volume SocListener can help find warm Reddit leads so your email lists hit better.”
“lemlist looks pretty and the personalization features are next level, but for volume sending it gets expensive fast. also their deliverability isn't as good as the other two.”
“I mainly work with SMB outreach too so I was wondering how good Lemlist’s database actually is outside bigger enterprise contacts. Still tempted to test it properly”
“You get linear A to B sequences and that is about it.Lemlist's conditional branching is what made me switch. You can set up sequences where if someone opens but does not reply you branch to a different follow up versus if they do not open at all. If someone clicks a link you can route them to a call booking step automatically.”
“Lemlist has actually addressed a lot of these issues recently with built in enrichment (so your data quality improves before sending) and better inbox rotation. No tool will fix bad sending practices, but Lemlist gives you more personalization depth than the alternatives which means higher reply rates when the infrastructure is set up properly.”
“Switched to Lemlist Email Unlimited at €87 and dropped all three add ons because the 650M database, verification, and warmup are all native.The other thing nobody talks about is the workflow overhead.”
“apollo + clay overlap a lot, lemlist + warmbox overlap too, and zapier is basically carrying critical flow between systems which is why replies end up delayed or missed”
“If you consolidate the CRM + sequencing side, you might be able to drop Lemlist AND HubSpot AND Zapier in one move. that alone probably saves you 4-5 hrs/week and a few hundred bucks.”
“Lemlist is a beast for cold email, no doubt but really expansive and support'team isnt very... well. We used it for a year, but our clients needed more than just email opens; they needed meetings.”
“we consolidated onto instantly last year. replaced apollo (supersearch for leads, 450M contacts with waterfall built in), lemlist, warmbox, and most of the zapier workflows. kept hubspot obviously, kept clay for one specific niche use case where we really needed custom enrichment”
“Apollo gives you data. Clay enriches it. Lemlist sends it. That stack can work fine. The issue is when every tool owns one piece, you end up spending two hours a day moving data between them.”
“current stack: 1. apollo - lead data and filters 2. clay - enrichment and waterfall (added because apollo data wasnt enough) 3. lemlist - sending 4. warmbox - warmup (separate because lemwarm wasnt cutting it) 5. zapier - routing replies + syncing to hubspot 6. hubspot - CRM”
“Tools like Apollo and Lemlist operate at the request layer, so LinkedIn sees the traffic pattern even if individual requests look normal. Overloop routes outreach through email rather than touching LinkedIn's session directly, which sidesteps a lot of this.”
“tbh for multi-channel lemlist is great. I do purely LinkedIn but am moving away from HeyReach after their page was banned recently and Lemlist has a native Clay integration so that was the next best option.”
“I work as a Business Developer in a corporate firm. They didn't want to approve the budget for tools like Lemlist or Instantly. Instead of sending hundreds of emails by hand, I decided to scratch my own itch and build my own app.”
“Cloud services like Expandi, Dripify, Lemlist send API requests from remote servers. When you browse LinkedIn normally, your browser fires off tons of background requests - analytics, feed refreshes, notification checks.”
“yeah lemlist's personalization is solid and the multichannel stuff works, ended up pairing it with prospeo for the data side since their enrichment catches emails that actually deliver and it basically killed the bounce issues we had before”
“lemlist isn’t bad but pricing got steep once you add multiple seats. at that point you’re basically comparing it with overloop or instantly depending on how much linkedin you run.”
