Instantly vs lemlist

Our take

Pick Instantly if outbound teams who will buy inboxes and stay inside Instantly’s warmup pool. Pick lemlist if outbound teams who will pay Email at $55/month yearly while they add a first Email + LinkedIn step — not Multichannel $87 first unless they need chat / call / WhatsApp in the same campaign, and not a forever-free sender (there isn’t one). Skip Instantly if reps who need the contact graph first (Apollo).
