lemlist is a sales engagement platform, launched in 2018 by Lempire SAS in Paris, that runs sequences over email, LinkedIn, calls, SMS and WhatsApp and bundles a lead database the vendor puts at 650M+ contacts. Its Email plan prices by sending volume with unlimited users, while Multichannel prices per user and adds LinkedIn automation.

About lemlist

lemlist is a sales engagement platform from Lempire SAS, a company based in Paris, that launched in 2018 and now runs outreach over email, LinkedIn, calls, SMS and WhatsApp from one account. The vendor names Guillaume Moubeche as founder and Charles Tenot as CEO, says it has never taken venture funding and says it has more than 20,000 customers. Those are vendor statements, and the company's own site is the only source for them.

The product is sold as two self-serve plans that price differently. The Email plan charges for sending volume and includes unlimited users and senders, while Multichannel adds LinkedIn, SMS and calling and charges per user. Lead data is a separate add-on paid in credits, and lemwarm, the warmup tool, comes with every plan. Sequences branch on opens, clicks, replies and LinkedIn acceptance, and messages can carry prospect-specific images and conditional text.

lemAgent is a chat assistant that builds a campaign from a stated goal, writes every message and holds the result for your approval before anything launches. The vendor says its in-app copilot runs on Claude, and its AI columns can call models from OpenAI, Perplexity, Anthropic and Gemini on any lead field. The chat products from those labs, ChatGPT and Claude, are the closest familiar equivalents to what sits underneath the writing and research features.

Next to Instantly, which is built around email volume and mailbox count, lemlist spreads effort across channels and bundles its own contact database. Apollo is the closer match when the database is the main purchase, and Clay is an enrichment tool that lemlist lists as an integration next to Zapier. Workflow builders Make and n8n are on the same list. Its CRM connectors cover HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive. The data-layer argument in Best AI SDR Tools in 2026 frames where these products sit, and more of them are listed under AI SDRs.

It runs in the browser, with a Chrome extension for working from LinkedIn and Gmail, and no official mobile app turned up in a search of the app stores. It suits founders, small sales teams and agencies that want one account for prospecting, sequencing and calling. It suits a team that only needs cheap high-volume email less well, because the Multichannel price is counted per seat.

Pricing

lemlist has no permanent free plan. The 14-day trial gives you the Multichannel plan's features, except in-app calls, plus 200 free credits.

The Email plan is priced by monthly send volume with unlimited users and senders: 50,000 emails cost $69 a month, 100,000 cost $89, 200,000 cost $159, 500,000 cost $359 and 1,000,000 cost $659, with a quote above that. Multichannel is $109 per user a month with unlimited emails and messages, five senders per user, LinkedIn, SMS and calling; WhatsApp is an extra add-on. Enterprise is custom. Yearly billing takes 20 percent off, which gives starting prices of $55 and $87, and quarterly billing takes 10 percent off.

Data is sold separately: lead data enrichment is $20 a month for 2,000 credits (400 emails or 100 phone numbers) and buying intent signals are $29 a month for 100 signals. Credits are charged only for successful results and roll over while the subscription stays active. A five-person team on Multichannel pays $545 a month at list price before add-ons. Compare that with Instantly, which prices sending by volume alone.

Key Features

  • Multichannel sequences: One sequence chains email, LinkedIn visits, invites, messages and voice notes, calls, SMS and WhatsApp, with branches on opens, clicks, replies and LinkedIn acceptance.
  • Lead database and waterfall enrichment: Searches a database the pricing page puts at 650M+ leads and finds emails and phones through waterfall enrichment; the vendor reports an 80% email find rate across 8 providers, which is its own figure.
  • lemAgent: A chat agent that turns a goal into a full campaign, writes every message across channels and waits for your approval; the vendor says most campaigns are ready in under 15 minutes.
  • Image and text personalisation: Embeds prospect-specific images such as a name, logo or screenshot in emails and supports Liquid syntax for conditional text.
  • lemwarm and Deliverability Hub: Warmup is included on every plan, alongside inbox rotation, a DNS setup test, inbox placement testing, alerts and one dashboard showing health by mailbox and domain.
  • Domains and mailboxes in the app: Buy domains and mailboxes inside lemlist, or connect Google, Microsoft and SMTP accounts you already own.
  • Intent signal agents: Signals such as a company hiring for a role, a funding round, a contact changing jobs or engagement on LinkedIn can feed lead lists automatically.
  • API, CLI and MCP server: The vendor documents an API, a command line tool and an MCP server, so an AI assistant can create campaigns, add leads and read stats.

Pros

  • The Email plan has no per-seat charge: unlimited users and senders share one volume price, so a ten-person team does not pay ten times.
  • G2 shows 4.6 from 2,437 reviews and Trustpilot 4.7 from 251, both read in an October 2026 check, a large sample for either.
  • Its Trust Center lists a SOC 2 Type II report, and the help center says data stays on French servers in the EEA, which matters to European buyers.
  • Warmup is included in every plan instead of being sold as a separate subscription.

Cons

  • LinkedIn says it does not permit third-party software that automates activity on its site, and lemlist advises staying near 20 invites a day inside LinkedIn's roughly 100-a-week cap, so LinkedIn steps put the sender's own account at risk.
  • Multichannel is billed per user, and lead data, intent signals and WhatsApp cost extra, so the bill grows with headcount.
  • The terms say prepaid fees are not refunded when an account ends, and paid plans renew automatically.
  • Vendor pages disagree with each other: the AI info page quotes a smaller database and names plans that no longer appear on the pricing page.

Which tools compete with lemlist in 2026?

[Instantly](/hub/tools/instantly) competes on email volume and mailbox count and sells lead data as separate credits. [Apollo](/hub/tools/apollo) fits when the contact database is the main need and a free plan matters. [HubSpot](/hub/tools/hubspot) suits teams whose CRM should own the sequences, and lemlist lists a native two-way sync with it.

What separates lemlist from Instantly?

lemlist spreads outreach over LinkedIn, calls, SMS and WhatsApp and ships its own contact database, while Instantly concentrates on email volume and sells data as credits. On price, lemlist's Email plan has unlimited users and senders with volume steps and its Multichannel plan charges per user, whereas Instantly charges by emails and contacts and its terms cap how many accounts one workspace can connect.

How do you get started with lemlist?

Start the 14-day trial, connect a Google, Microsoft or SMTP mailbox or buy domains and mailboxes inside lemlist, then add leads from the database or an upload and either build a sequence or ask lemAgent to draft one. lemwarm handles warmup for the mailboxes you connect. For LinkedIn, lemlist's help center says new or inactive accounts should start with low limits and raise them gradually.

  • Clay: Pick Clay for research-heavy list building, and lemlist when you want the sequencing and calling in the same account.
