Why look for a lemlist alternative

lemlist sells LinkedIn on its Multichannel plan only, at $109 per user per month on monthly billing, and each lemlist account connects a single LinkedIn account: $327 a month for 3 profiles, $1,090 for 10.

That is the line we compare. Emelia Grow covers the same 3 LinkedIn accounts for €97 (excl. VAT) a month, with up to 50 mailboxes. Scale covers 10 for €297 (excl. VAT), with unlimited mailboxes. Even if you pay lemlist yearly ($261 and $870 a month), Emelia’s monthly price stays under half, at any realistic exchange rate.

Billed monthly, Multichannel is the only self-serve lemlist plan with LinkedIn, and it is priced per user.

How we choose as an agency

We count LinkedIn accounts, not users. When we build a campaign, the first number is how many LinkedIn profiles will send. lemlist, Reply.io, Waalaxy and La Growth Machine bill each one as a seat. Emelia bills a plan, and an extra LinkedIn account costs €29 (excl. VAT) a month.

Email and LinkedIn in the same sequence. If a prospect accepts the invitation, the sequence sends a LinkedIn message; if not, it switches to email, and replies from both channels land in one inbox. With Instantly, Smartlead or Apollo, LinkedIn means a second tool or manual tasks.

Credits that stay valid. lemlist credits roll over only while you subscribe, Apollo’s expire every cycle, Instantly’s monthly credits after 2 months. Emelia’s last a year, even after you cancel.

Mailboxes you can use. By default, one Emelia mailbox adds 35 new contacts and sends 100 emails a day, follow-ups included. Three lemlist Multichannel seats come with 15 senders; Grow connects up to 50.

B2B prospecting

Is there a cheaper lemlist alternative with LinkedIn?

Emelia Start costs €37 (excl. VAT) a month for 1 LinkedIn account and 3 mailboxes. At lemlist, LinkedIn needs Multichannel at $109 per user. Waalaxy starts at €39 per user on monthly billing, but that plan is LinkedIn only: cold email comes with Business, at €139.

Which lemlist alternative finds emails and phone numbers?
