What the Overloop interface shows

Screens captured in a signed-in Overloop account on September 13, 2026. Each caption identifies the controls we observed.

01 Inspect the autopilot settings

02 Check days, hours and time zone

03 Inspect the import steps

We did not run a prospect search, launch a campaign or import a file. These screens do not establish data quality, outreach results or a successful end-to-end import. Source: app.overloop.ai

Check the workflow during your trial

1. Use a small sample you are allowed to process and accounts you control. Keep campaigns paused; in Overloop, leave both autopilot switches off.
2. Apply the same targeting criteria in each shortlisted tool. Record returned fields, relevant contacts and credits used.
3. Draft one sequence without activating it. Check the audience, message edits, days, hours, time zone and reply ownership.
4. If migration is required, use an authorized test file. Check field mapping, duplicates and exclusions, then inspect the preview before proceeding.

Use your current lemlist plan as the baseline. Email and Multichannel cover different channels and use different billing units.

Publisher disclosure: Overloop publishes this guide and is our first recommendation for small B2B teams replacing contact sourcing, email and LinkedIn outreach. The other options address specific requirements. Recommendations use public vendor sources; we did not run a comparative product trial. Method and dated sources.

Vendor-published entry prices read on September 12, 2026. Annual prices require an annual commitment. Add-ons, credits, mailboxes, and seat minimums change the total. Currency is shown as the vendor displayed it.

What lemlist costs in September 2026

Use the plan that includes your required channels as the baseline; the Email headline price does not buy Multichannel.

Enrichment is a separate meter. lemlist sells rechargeable credits where 1 credit costs $0.01 and you pay per success: 5 credits for a verified email, 20 for a phone number, 20 per company web-visit signal, from 100 for a hiring or job-change signal, 100 for a fundraising signal, and from 400 for a LinkedIn engagement signal. A 1,000 credit pack is $10, which lemlist describes as roughly 200 emails or 50 phone numbers. The trial is 14 days.

For a five-person team, Multichannel is $435 per month billed yearly, plus enrichment credits. Compare alternatives against that channel requirement; an email-only team should use the flat Email plan as its baseline.

Which lemlist gap should the alternative solve?

• Channel cost: price Multichannel only for the users who need it and confirm mixed-plan availability with lemlist. Compare the replacement at the same channels and team size.
• Data credits: 1,000 verified emails cost $50 in lemlist credits at the published rate. Add the data and signals you need before comparing subscriptions.
• Reporting: named Capterra reviews describe reporting difficulties. These individual accounts do not establish every customer's experience. During evaluation, reproduce the report your team actually uses.
• Setup and support: Trustpilot and G2 include comments about support, workflow complexity and learning time. Check your required integration and escalation path during the trial.

1. Overloop

Best for: small B2B teams that want data plus email and LinkedIn in one seat.

Overloop is our first recommendation for small B2B teams that want contact sourcing, email and LinkedIn in one workflow. We publish this guide, and the recommendation reflects that use case. It combines a B2B contact database of 450M+ contact records, email finding and verification, AI-assisted list building, email and LinkedIn campaigns, a conversations inbox, warm-up, and integrations. Starter is $69 per user per month with 250 credits per user per month, 1 connected email account, 3 campaigns, and basic integrations including Slack, the Chrome extension, and Zapier. Growth is $99 per user per month with 500 credits, 3 email accounts, 10 campaigns, the HubSpot and Pipedrive integrations, and REST API access. Enterprise is quoted and adds Salesforce. Every plan has a 7 day trial. Credits are gated by plan and are spent both on sourcing a prospect and on finding a valid email.

The relevant difference is the entry workflow: Overloop includes email and LinkedIn steps on Starter, with sourcing and email finding drawing from the included credits. Both products meter data operations, and both charge per user for a multichannel team. Compare the required credits, connected mailboxes and integrations before treating the entry price as the full cost.

What it lacks against lemlist: no SMS, no built-in dialer, and no creative personalisation layer. lemlist's Email plan is also cheaper for a single sender who does not need LinkedIn.

2. Reply.io

Best for: teams that want every channel lemlist Multichannel offers, with an AI SDR option.

Reply.io is the closest structural match to lemlist because it also splits email volume from multichannel. The Email Volume plan starts at $49 per user per month billed annually with 1,000 active contacts a month, unlimited mailboxes under a fair-usage policy, unlimited emails, email warm-up, 50 live data credits a month, and up to 200 website-visitor reveals. LinkedIn automation is a $69 per month add-on per connected account, and calls and SMS are $29 per month per account. The Multichannel plan starts at $89 per user per month billed annually with 10 mailboxes, unlimited active contacts, and LinkedIn, calls, SMS, and semi-automated WhatsApp included. Jason, the AI SDR, starts at $500 a month. Annual billing is marked as up to 17 percent off and the trial is 14 days.

What it lacks against lemlist: Email Volume with its LinkedIn add-on and the Multichannel plan are different configurations. For a multichannel replacement, start with the $89 annual-billing plan that includes LinkedIn, then verify the required channel accounts and usage. There is also nothing equivalent to lemlist's custom image and landing-page personalisation.

3. La Growth Machine

Best for: teams whose sequences start on LinkedIn, with one sending identity per seller.

La Growth Machine prices per sending identity rather than per seat, which suits a motion where each seller works their own network. Basic is €60 per identity per month, includes LinkedIn and email, allows up to 3 identities, and includes 250 enriched leads a month. Pro is €120 per identity per month, adds calls, allows unlimited identities, raises enrichment to 400 leads a month, and caps active campaigns at 6. Annual billing is presented as 2 months free and the trial is 14 days. An agency plan is quoted with a 6 identity minimum. Extra enrichment costs €5 per fully enriched lead or €1 for data only.

What it lacks against lemlist: there is no flat email tier, so a team that mostly sends email will pay more than lemlist's Email plan. Enrichment is an allowance rather than a searchable database, and the identity meter punishes teams where several people share one sender.

4. Apollo.io

Best for: teams whose real problem is finding contacts, not sending to them.

Apollo is a database first and a sequencer second. Its free plan gives 75 credits per seat per month and 2 sequences. Basic is $49 per seat per month billed annually, or $65 monthly, with 30,000 credits per seat per year on annual billing. Professional is $79 per seat per month annually, or $99 monthly, with 48,000 credits a year. Organization is $119 per seat per month with a three-seat minimum and 72,000 credits a year. Annual billing is marked as a 24 percent saving, and Basic and Professional show a 14 day trial.

What it lacks against lemlist: no LinkedIn automation in the published plans and no creative personalisation. Credits are also consumed across data, AI research, calls, and phone numbers rather than emails alone, so the allocation goes faster than it looks.

5. Instantly

Best for: teams comparing mailbox operations, sending capacity and warm-up controls for an email-focused workflow.

Instantly meters contacts and sends instead of seats. Outreach Growth is $47 per month with 1,000 uploaded contacts and 5,000 emails a month, Hypergrowth is $97 with 25,000 contacts and 125,000 emails, and Lightspeed is $358 with 100,000 contacts and 500,000 emails. Every tier documents unlimited email accounts and unlimited warm-up. Data is a separate bundle: Starter is $94 per month, or $85 on annual billing, adding 1,500 credits a month and a 450M+ lead database; Scale is $194 per month and Agency is $555.

What it lacks against lemlist: no LinkedIn, no SMS, no dialer, and no creative personalisation. It is a sending and deliverability product with data bolted on, which is exactly right for some teams and wrong for anyone who came to lemlist for multichannel.

6. Smartlead

Best for: agencies operating many mailboxes across many clients.

Smartlead is the other email-infrastructure option and is priced slightly below Instantly at the entry point. Base is $39 per month, or $32.50 per month on annual billing at $390 a year, with 2,000 contacts, 6,000 email sends a month, and 2,000 verified emails, but no API. Pro is $94 per month, or $78.30 annually, with 30,000 contacts and 90,000 sends. Unlimited Smart is $174 per month, or $144.50 annually, with 150,000 sends and API access. Unlimited Prime is $379 per month, or $314.60 annually, with 500,000 sends. Every plan documents unlimited email accounts at no extra cost, and annual billing is marked as 17 percent off.

What it lacks against lemlist: email only, no native LinkedIn or calling, and no lead database in the subscription. Domains, mailbox providers, and verification sit outside the headline price, so an agency should price the whole estate rather than the plan.

7. Saleshandy

Best for: teams that want the lowest credible invoice for cold email.

Saleshandy separates Outreach from Lead Finder. Outreach Starter is $34 per month billed annually at $408 a year, or $41 month to month, with unlimited email accounts and 6,000 emails a month. Pro is $76 per month annually at $912 a year, or $99 monthly, with 100,000 emails. Scale is $149 per month annually at $1,788 a year, or $189 monthly, with 200,000 emails. Lead Finder credits are allocated per tier at 1,500, 4,000, and 8,000 a month, where 1 credit reveals a verified email and 6 reveal a phone number.

Sequences can include manual LinkedIn tasks for connection requests, messages, InMail, profile views, and post interactions, plus manual call and custom tasks. A separate LinkedIn Automation step pushes prospects into a connected Aimfox or HeyReach campaign, where the partner tool executes the outreach.

What it lacks against lemlist: no native LinkedIn automation, no SMS, no dialer in the plan, and a smaller data product. The manual-task workflow works but is slower than a native LinkedIn step.

8. Klenty

Best for: CRM-centred sales teams that dial as much as they email.

Klenty is the option on this list closest to a classic sales-engagement platform. Starter is $50 per month billed annually with 15,000 contacts and 75,000 emails a month on email only. Growth is $70 per user per month billed annually, adds a one-click dialer with 200 call minutes, SMS, and social steps, and documents AI voicemail and IVR detection, outcome detection, and conversation tracking. Plus is $99 per user per month billed annually with 1,000 call minutes, 4,000 phone and email credits, all channels, AI battlecards, live transcription, and call scoring. A Parallel and Power Dialer add-on is $45 per user per month.

What it lacks against lemlist: the entry plan is email only and flat, so the moment you need channels you are on a per-user meter, the same trap that sends people away from lemlist Multichannel. There is no creative personalisation layer either.

9. Woodpecker

Best for: agencies and teams whose monthly volume moves up and down.

Woodpecker does not sell named tiers. It meters contacted prospects at $7.00 per 100 contacted prospects, with annual billing marked as 33 percent off, and every plan includes 16,000 emails a month, 4 warm-ups, 100 Lead Finder credits, catch-all verification, unlimited team members, and unlimited email accounts. The extras are where the bill grows: LinkedIn outreach is $29 per month per connected LinkedIn account, the agency panel is $27 per month per active client plus $5 per month for white label, extra warm-ups are $5 per month per email account, integrations, API, and webhooks are $20 per month, Lead Finder credits start at 500 for $10, and Google or Microsoft mailboxes are $6 per month each.

What it lacks against lemlist: LinkedIn is an add-on rather than a sequence step with the same depth, and the per-prospect meter is hard to forecast if your list sizes vary. There is no creative personalisation and no dialer.

Source: Woodpecker pricing, read September 12, 2026.

10. Mailshake

Best for: small teams that want a simple sequencer and nothing else.

Mailshake is the simplest product here. Starter is $29 per month, or $25 per month billed yearly, with 1 email address, 1,500 monthly sends, and 50 Data Finder credits. Email Outreach is $49 per month, or $45 yearly, with 2 email addresses and unlimited monthly sends. Sales Engagement is $99 per month, or $85 yearly, with 10 email addresses, 2,500 Data Finder credits, 5 phone numbers, and unlimited dialer minutes to North America. An agency plan is quoted. Data Finder is a $19 per month add-on, or $17 annually, and ready-to-use mailboxes are $12 per month. Pricing is per user and there is no free trial.

What it lacks against lemlist: LinkedIn and phone steps only appear on the $99 Sales Engagement plan, the email-address limits are tight on the lower tiers, and there is no trial, so the first month is the evaluation.

Which lemlist alternative should you pick?

Start with Overloop if your B2B team wants contact sourcing, AI-assisted messages, email and LinkedIn in one campaign. Compare the required credits and CRM scope before choosing a plan. For calling, creative personalization or a mailbox-heavy email operation, use the specialist shortlists below.

Before you sign anything, do three things. Price the whole stack at the seats, identities, mailboxes, and credits you will actually use, not the entry tier. Export your suppression list, unsubscribes, and bounces from lemlist and import them before the first send in the new tool. Validate the import, reply handling and CRM updates before launch. If you run a campaign comparison, use equivalent, non-overlapping audience segments and keep the offer and sending setup comparable; do not contact the same prospects twice to test two tools.
