What people previously said about lemlist

“Lemlist is a spam tool. If your take away from it is that it isn't a good enough spam tool, that also tells me all that I need to know.”

“Reality is the company itself isn't able to generate any outbound meetings using the very same platform they're pushing to prospects. That alone should give you a good idea on how it'll work for you.”

“fair breakdown overall 👍 lemlist is solid for email-first teams, especially if personalisation + quick setup is the main goal.”

“Lemlist isn’t bad, but per-user pricing gets expensive fast as teams grow. Once you add multiple seats, you’re basically comparing it with Overloop or Instantly - especially if LinkedIn is part of your outreach.”

“Lemlist isn’t bad but with low opens it might be worth testing other tools. at that point you’re basically comparing it with Overloop or Instantly depending on how much LinkedIn you run.”

“Lemlist is solid for personalization and campaign automation, but the pricing can get steep, especially if you are running several domains. What I noticed is that even great tools like Lemlist rely on your domain’s reputation to get results.”

“if you are doing B2B outbound sales (cold email) then lemlist is ok, but had better experience with saleshandy and emailchaser”

“I'm researching a few different email tools and was wondering what the general consensus on Lemlist was within the community.”

“Lemlist is more of an email automation tool than a full sales engagement platform so yeah that's a weird replacement for Outreach. Different use cases entirely.”

“Lemlist is cartoonish. I use Sales Navigator and Zoom Info.”

“My dilemma is Lemlist vs Cognism, I suck at email marketing and have little experience in email warm ups and all that shit, but my last email campaign sucked bad and I got no responses and little to no opens or delivery. Lemlist looks to be able to help here, if I get Cognism I still need a tool to actually reach people.”

“My company recently scrapped Outreach and ZoomInfo, and made the decision to adopt Lemlist. It turns out this wasn't a great idea (who would've thought).”

“Been running this combo for a while and it’s way more reliable than relying on one big platform.”

“I’ve been using Lemlist for my cold email campaigns, but lately, I’ve been thinking about exploring some alternatives. Are there any tools that you’ve tried and felt provided better results or more features?”

“Lemlist is too costly. Especially if you're scaling. Like, when I started outreach, i was co sidering a lot of tools, and lemlist was promising, but it didn't fit our budget.”

“For Phase 2, consider adding a scoring layer before lemlist. We found that LinkedIn profile analysis + company enrichment data can predict response likelihood pretty well.”

“- Utilizing tools like lemlist for outreach is effective, especially when combined with personalized emails generated by an LLM. Personalization can significantly increase engagement rates.”

“I want to give phantom buster a linkedln URL through lemlist, i've gotten the URL in n8n through a webhook but everytime I give to phantom buster it just gives me an error. Invalid argument?”

“I've never heard of lemlist, which in my mind is a red flag. Imo if not outreach or sales loft it's probably not a safe bet to go with another provider for an SEP. At least until a new player gets traction in the market and proves itself.”

“lemlist pricing gets crazy expensive especially for teams. we are now using genesy and so far so good, it's way more affordable and does similar email outreach and personalization without the per-user costs”

“* I’m SMB and want linkedin + email: lemlist”

“The per-seat model gets expensive fast though - we learned that the hard way when scaling from 3 to 8 SDRs. Switched to Instantly last year mainly for the unlimited seats (saved us ~$900/month), plus their warmup pool handles deliverability better than Lemlist's Lemwarm in our experience.”

“How about lemlist? I’m doing reserch on them too”

“That way, whichever platform u choose (Mailgo, Lemlist etc.), your deliverability isn’t tanked by weak infra.”

“Lemlist would have cost me 70 dollars a month, which is too expensive for what I was trying to achieve. So I decided to do what any n8n user would do.”

“But if LinkedIn integration is key for your outreach strategy, Lemlist could pay off in the long run.”

“tried lemlist but couldn't justify the cost. genesy has been working for us for months now and does similar email campaigns with tracking for much less money”

“I paid for a yearly lemlist license and haven't had much success.. I really need to revamp what I'm doing.”

“- Campaign setup is super flexible: you can go manual, or let their AI do the heavy lifting. Personalization options like custom images and dynamic variables are a huge win for making emails less boring.”

“lemlist has some nice features but the price creeps up fast, especially if you’re not using the full stack”

“Choosing between Mailgo and Lemlist can be tricky when cost and features matter. You might want to check out MailsAI for cold email campaigns—it’s often easier on the budget and still helps boost open rates.”

“I would love to get rid of my 'sales engagament' software since I don't use any feature at all except A/B testing and the automated sending capability.”

“Would love to hear if anyone saw better results with LinkedIn from Lemlist.”

“People sleep on Lemlist’s deliverability tools. Warming up inboxes is boring but critical in 2025.”

“Lemlist’s dynamic images and video previews helped me stand out in crowded inboxes. Super underrated.”

“Maybe it’s just not loud on social, but the people who use Lemlist seriously get solid results.”

“The LinkedIn integration with Lemlist sounds nice but didn't move the needle much for me. What actually helped was watching some of Lead Gen Jay's YouTube videos where he breaks down writing emails at basically a 6th-grade level - my open rates jumped from 12% to over 30%.”

“Lemlist feels more polished and focused on personalization.”

“Meanwhile Lemlist costs($79/mo) but integrates with LinkedIn.Does these actually improve open rates and help find more leads?”

“I think Lemlist is still underrated. Their visual personalization tools are some of the best out there.”

“Lemlist made it easier for me to run multi-channel sequences without feeling overwhelmed. It’s built for solo founders too.”

“Honestly, I think Lemlist’s strongest feature is how fast you can get a campaign live without touching code.”

“Lemlist is the key.”

“But if you’ve ever tried building logic-based campaigns across email + LinkedIn + calls, it really stands out.”

“Everyone talks about the same big-name tools, but Lemlist actually has more features than most people realize.”

“Tried it in 2023, switched to some modular combo (Clay + Instantly + Aircall), then circled back to Lemlist in 2024.”

“It’s stable, it covers the full outreach stack without needing a Notion board of Zapier hacks, and the deliverability tools are way ahead of most. Just not as fun to tweet about, I guess.”
