At $69/month (Email, unlimited users) versus $109/month per user on Multichannel, the switch only pays off once you actually need LinkedIn/SMS/dialer outreach.
About
In practice. What you can do with Lemlist.
Lemlist builds outbound email sequences with dynamic personalization (images, text) and includes sender warm-up to protect deliverability, plus a built-in database of over 650 million leads with an email and phone finder.
There's no free plan, only a 14-day trial. The Email plan starts at $69/month ($55/month billed annually) for unlimited users, while Multichannel at $109/month ($87/month annually) switches to per-user billing and unlocks LinkedIn automation, SMS, WhatsApp and a call dialer. It fits a small sales team that wants prospecting, sequencing and a lead database in one place rather than stitching several tools together.

Pros and cons. What Lemlist does well, and what to expect.
Pros
Built-in lead database and sender warm-up remove the need for separate list-building and deliverability tools.
Unlimited users on the Email plan keeps per-seat costs down for a growing team.
Cons
No free plan; only a 14-day trial before paying.
Multichannel features (LinkedIn, SMS, WhatsApp, dialer) require the pricier per-user Multichannel plan.
When it makes sense. Keep Lemlist, or challenge it?
Keep if
Your team runs cold email at volume and wants a lead database and warm-up bundled in, without per-seat email pricing.
Lemlist becomes worthwhile when
+You use it at least once a week
+The monthly cost ($55) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You need LinkedIn or SMS touches from day one but want to stay on the cheaper Email plan.
Lemlist becomes too expensive when
−You use it less than once a month
−A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
Our verdict. What to know about Lemlist.
Why this verdict
Average
Added value
Email plan bundles a lead database, warm-up and unlimited users for $69/month (or $55/month annual), a real cost saver if you'd otherwise need separate list-building and warm-up tools, but Multichannel features require an upgrade.
Simplicity
Neutral score: time and skill needed to get a first useful result are not covered by the collected sources.
Fit for purpose
Delivers outbound email sequencing with personalization and built-in warm-up as advertised, with multichannel outreach (LinkedIn, SMS, WhatsApp, dialer) added on the higher tier.
Performance
Combines a 650M+ lead database, an AI assistant (lemAgent), and multichannel channels (LinkedIn, SMS, WhatsApp, dialer) on Multichannel, more breadth than a plain email sequencer.
Reversibility
Neutral score: export or portability of leads and sequences is not covered by the collected sources.
