For teams that want the people, the LinkedIn and email steps and the replies in one app, and would rather pay for LinkedIn accounts, email capacity and credits than per user.
lemlist's side read on its own pages on 27 October 2026. Its profile in the sales tools directory
Side by side
A tick where the tool does it, a dash where it does part of it or at extra cost, a cross where its pages say it does not. The lemlist side is from its pricing page and help center, and its LinkedIn steps, calls and inbox need the Multichannel or Enterprise plan.

Why teams switch
AI Search finds the people from one sentence, and the ones who fit go straight from the table into a workflow, LinkedIn and email steps in one flow. Nothing to export between tools.
The table, Workflows and Unibox share the same people, so each row can show the person's stage, their workflow step and what the AI SDR is doing, beside their work email.
The AI SDR follows your scenarios and your Playbook and keeps a plan per thread. A thread it should not answer alone comes to you.
What are we working on?

Thanks for connecting, Maya. Saw the two SDR roles. Most teams hire before the pipeline is ready for them. Worth comparing notes?
Jordan O.Sounds useful. Can you send a short overview?

Happy to, Maya. Here is a two-page overview of how teams your size run it with GetSales. Would 15 minutes on Thursday help?

Three things we changed in how our SDRs plan the week, and the one we rolled back after a month. Monday starts with the pipeline now, not the inbox. ...more

Curious which one you rolled back. In our experience the shared call list goes first.
Sam K.
It was the shared call list. Nobody owned an account after week two.

That matches what we see. Named accounts per rep usually fix it. Did you go back to territories?

The rest of the market
If you are leaving lemlist for one reason, one of these may fit it better. Each line is what the vendor's own site says, read on 27 October 2026.
| Tool | Best for | Channels |
|---|---|---|
| Reply.io | Multichannel sequences, 1B+ contacts and Jason, its autonomous AI SDR | Email, LinkedIn, calls |
| La Growth Machine | LinkedIn, email and calls in one sequence, with a shared inbox synced to your CRM | LinkedIn, email, calls |
| Waalaxy | LinkedIn outreach with email follow‑ups, an email finder and a LinkedIn inbox | LinkedIn, email |
| Woodpecker | Cold email and LinkedIn outreach in one place, with free warm-up and a lead database | Email, LinkedIn |
| Instantly | AI sales agents and automated outreach, with a lead database, deliverability tools and a CRM | |
| Smartlead | Cold email at scale on its own email infrastructure, with warm-up and AI agents | Email, calls |
| Apollo.io | One connected GTM system: 240M+ contacts, agents, outreach and a dialer | Email, calls |
It depends on why you are leaving. For LinkedIn and email from one tool, these names come up. Reply.io pairs multichannel sequences with 1B+ contacts and Jason, its autonomous AI SDR. La Growth Machine runs LinkedIn, email and calls in one sequence, with a shared inbox. Waalaxy is LinkedIn outreach with email follow-ups and an email finder. Woodpecker pairs cold email with LinkedIn. For email at volume, Instantly and Smartlead. Apollo.io pairs 240M+ contacts with outreach and a dialer. And GetSales, which finds the people, runs LinkedIn and email steps in one flow and drafts each answer, sent on its own or held for your OK as each scenario sets. Each line is from the vendor's own site, read on 27 October 2026.
lemlist sells two plans to new customers, and Enterprise by quote. On monthly billing the Email plan costs $69 a month for 50,000 emails, up to $659 for 1,000,000, with no LinkedIn, calls or included credits. Multichannel costs $109 per user a month and adds LinkedIn, calls and SMS, 5 mailboxes per user and 400 credits per user a month. Quarterly billing takes 10% off and yearly 20%. More mailboxes are $9 each a month, WhatsApp $20 per user a month and more credits from $20 a month. All read on lemlist's pricing page and help center on 27 October 2026. GetSales prices LinkedIn accounts, email capacity and data credits, billed monthly, with no per-user fees, on the pricing page.
A trial, and a free plan that sends nothing. The trial runs 14 days with no card, on Multichannel's features except in-app calls, with 200 credits once and up to 50 emails a day, and lemwarm is not part of it. The Email plan has no trial. When the trial ends, or a paid plan is cancelled, the account moves to Freemium, which keeps your data but launches no campaigns. Read on lemlist's help center on 27 October 2026. Sign up free: Playtables stay free with your own API keys, and LinkedIn and email come with a 7-day trial.
Both run email and LinkedIn in one sequence with a contact database behind it, and they differ in how far the AI goes. Reply.io's own site names multichannel sequences, 1B+ contacts and Jason, its autonomous AI SDR. lemlist's pages name a 650M+ lead database, sequences across email, LinkedIn, calls, SMS and WhatsApp, and lemAgent, an assistant that builds campaigns and drafts a reply when you ask it. Both read on their own sites on 27 October 2026.
Waalaxy starts from LinkedIn, lemlist from email and a lead database. Waalaxy's homepage describes LinkedIn outreach with email follow-ups, an email finder and one inbox for LinkedIn conversations, with lists built from LinkedIn Search, Sales Navigator or Recruiter Lite. lemlist runs email, LinkedIn, calls and SMS in one sequence on its Multichannel plan, with WhatsApp as an add-on, priced per user, and has a 650M+ lead database. Both read on their own sites on 27 October 2026. GetSales finds the people from one sentence or a LinkedIn search, and runs the LinkedIn and email steps from one sender profile.
Smartlead and Instantly are built around cold email at volume, lemlist around outreach on several channels. Smartlead's homepage puts deliverability first: its own email infrastructure, warm-up, placement data, a master inbox, AI agents and a dialer. Instantly's names AI sales agents, automated outreach, a lead database, deliverability tools and a CRM. lemlist pairs email with LinkedIn, calls and SMS on its Multichannel plan, with WhatsApp as an add-on, at $109 per user a month on monthly billing, while its Email plan is priced by the emails a team sends, from $69 a month billed monthly for 50,000. All read on their own sites on 27 October 2026.
We read G2's own summary of lemlist's reviews, dated May 2026, and the reviews on Trustpilot in October 2026, and kept only the complaints that come back across many of them. G2's summary names the credit system as expensive and the interface as confusing at times. Slow support and bugs come back on Trustpilot. On Trustpilot, several reviews since July 2024 describe charges after a cancellation, or a hard time cancelling. lemlist's terms renew a plan by itself and refund no month or year already begun, and its help center says the credit add-on is cancelled apart from the plan, so check both before you leave.
Data and some channels. An email found and verified costs 5 credits, a phone number 20, a LinkedIn enrichment 1, an SMS 6 and a calling minute from 4. Email and phone finds are charged only on a result, but a phone number that turns out wrong is still charged, and AI contact sourcing is charged per company even when nobody is found. Multichannel includes 400 credits per user a month, reset each month, and the Email plan includes none. When credits run out, enrichment stops until you restart it by hand. From lemlist's help center, updated 6 October 2026, read on 27 October 2026.
Yes, by setting the outreach up again in GetSales: there is no lemlist integration, and campaigns are not copied over. Export your leads from lemlist as a CSV and import it as new rows: a CSV can be up to 50 MB, and a person already in any table of your workspace is not added again. Put your unsubscribes on your stoplist in Settings, from a CSV. Connect your LinkedIn account and your mailboxes as a sender profile, then build the workflow, or let Creator build it from one sentence. lemlist's help center, read on 27 October 2026, says a cancelled plan keeps your data on its free plan, so the export can wait.
