“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.”
“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”
“over the past few years i've tried basically every tool that exists. lemlist, waalaxy, heyreach, dripify... at some point you realize it's not really about the tool because most of them do the same thing. they send messages, they run sequences.”
“Compared to Apollo, which has a bigger database but weaker conditional branching, Lemlist's sequence logic is genuinely more flexible for adaptive follow-ups. The credit rollover issue is the one thing that actually bothers me at scale, especially for teams with inconsistent monthly volume.”
“Apollo tends to get cited more for database size, but its conditional branching inside sequences is pretty limited compared to what Lemlist offers. The visual sequence builder with branching logic is probably the feature that keeps people on Lemlist once they've built a few campaigns around it.”
“The feature that probably stands out the most in Lemlist is personalization. It allows you to go beyond simple name variables and actually make emails feel a bit more human.”
“La date de Lemlist ne vaut clairement pas le prix. Cascade très pauvre et peu de vérifications emails. Il existe d'autres solutions plus performantes à un meilleur prix”
“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.”
“I pause them in the sequence, but I cannot seem to send a manual email in-thread within the UI. When I bring it up with support, they say there is no feature.”
“lemlist works best when you bring your own tighter list and use it for outreach, not discovery. The teams that struggle usually rely too much on tool generated leads instead of manually refining who’s actually worth contacting.”
“lemlist's email is solid but their linkedin is objectively worse than instantly/heyreach, and you'll feel that difference when your sequences aren't converting.”
“For multichanel outreach (linkedin + email), is it better to have 2 separate specialised tools (heyreach + instantly) or one single multichanel tool (like lemlist) ? and why ?”
“One thing I'd add that often gets overlooked with any cold email tool - Lemlist, Instantly, whatever - is that the tool can only perform as well as your domain's email authentication setup.”
“i’ve been using lemlist for months and it’s a powerhouse for deliverability, especially with lemwarm running in the background. the personalization options for images and landing pages are great for b2b saas but, i never trust any database completely.”
“Lemlist is solid, especially for deliverability, but pricing climbs fast once you add multiple seats. At that point it starts making sense to compare it with tools like Overloop or Instantly, depending on how much LinkedIn you’re running alongside email.”
“Lemlist itself isn’t the issue, but pricing gets steep once you add multiple seats. At that point you’re usually comparing it with tools like Overloop or Instantly, depending on how much LinkedIn outreach you’re running and how tightly you want to control targeting.”
“Bottom line: Lemlist isn't some growth hack and it's not pretending to be. It's a legit cold email tool for people who actually give a shit about deliverability and playing the long game. If you know what you're doing, it's probably one of the most solid tools out there right now.”
“lemlist isn’t bad, but pricing ramps up pretty fast once you add multiple seats. at that stage, you’re basically comparing it with overloop or instantly, depending on how much linkedin you’re running.”
“Lemlist isn’t bad at all, but pricing gets 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.”
