Comparison
Lead Scorer vs Lemlist
Lemlist is one of the best multichannel sequencers there is. The thing to know before you budget: the plan that adds LinkedIn also changes the billing unit from workspace to seat.
Verdict
Pick Lemlist if sequence execution and deliverability are the skill you are buying and you will bring your own qualified list. Pick Lead Scorer if the list and the copy are exactly what you do not have.
What Lemlist really costs one person
500 new prospects a month, one person, a 3-touch email sequence (1,500 emails).
Advertised
$55/month billed annually (Email — workspace-wide, unlimited users)
Real month, one person
≈ $147/month
2.7× the advertised price
Lead Scorer, same month
≈ $251/month — Scale at €199 (≈$230) plus your own 3 mailboxes (≈$21). One inbox on Solo (€49) carries about 200 prospects a month at 3 touches, which is the volume we are actually built for.
Billed monthly, cancel anytime. Yearly billing takes 20% off Solo, Pro and Scale: €468, €948 and €1,908 a year (€39, €79 and €159 a month). Optional — monthly still cancels anytime.
USD prices read on Lemlist's own pricing page and help centre. The EUR equivalents circulating elsewhere are third-party and are not used here.
lemlist.comWhat the advertised price leaves out
- LinkedIn is not on the Email plan. It requires Multichannel at $87 per user per month — and the billing unit changes from workspace to seat at the same moment.
- The scenario needs ~750 email lookups: 5 credits each at $0.01 = $37.50/month. Lemlist publishes this rate, which is rare and worth saying.
- 3 mailboxes ≈ $21/month and 2 domains ≈ $1.74/month.
- Same page, two answers: the Email card says 'Unlimited users', the comparison table below it says 'From $55 /user /mo'. Read 2026-08-09.
- Our prices were read from a US IP and Lemlist's currency selector did not render, so no official EUR figure could be captured. The €69/€87 figures circulating are third-party — and if accurate, they make the euro noticeably more expensive than the dollar at current rates.
How we priced this
- Scenario
- 500 new prospects a month, one person, a 3-touch email sequence (1,500 emails).
- Infrastructure counted in every total
- 3 mailboxes at 30 emails/day (Google Workspace Business Starter, ≈$21/month) and 2 secondary domains (≈$1.74/month) are counted in every stack, because every vendor leaves them out.
- Billing
- Annual commitment wherever one exists — the assumption most favourable to the vendor.
- LinkedIn cap
- LinkedIn's ~100 invitations/week soft cap means a single account cannot physically work 500 new prospects a month. The totals model 500 by email and ~400 on LinkedIn.
- Exchange rate
- €1 = $1.155 (US Federal Reserve H.10, 2026-08-06). Conversions are marked ≈.
- Limits
- No purchase was made. Every official figure comes from a vendor page read on 2026-08-09; third-party figures are labelled as such and never used as prices.

Where Lemlist beats Lead Scorer
Written by us, about our own product.
- The sequence editor is best-in-class: conditional steps, A/B testing, variables that actually resolve. Ours is deliberately simpler and it shows.
- Inbox warm-up and deliverability tooling are included. We ship none — you bring your own healthy inbox.
- One of only five tools in the survey that publish a usable overage rate: $0.01/credit, itemised per action (verified email 5 credits, phone 20).
- The only vendor in all 17 that states its VAT position in writing — 'All displayed prices exclude VAT'. Everyone else leaves you guessing.
- The Email plan is genuinely workspace-priced with unlimited users, which is a better deal than ours for a team that only needs email.
Where Lead Scorer wins
Same standard of evidence, opposite direction.
- We build the list. Lemlist starts from one you already have, and lemlist's own database costs extra credits.
- Adding LinkedIn is a plan step for us (€49 → €99), not a change of billing unit from workspace to seat.
- Versioned outreach rules guide every draft; placeholder cleanup and human approval happen before sending.
- Free CRM forever, so the pipeline lives somewhere even before you pay anything.
- MCP server with 104 tools: your agent runs the motion instead of you clicking through a sequence builder.

Founders whose bottleneck is finding and qualifying, not sending — and who do not want the LinkedIn tier to reprice the whole workspace.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Lemlist cost with LinkedIn?
$87 per user per month on the Multichannel plan, read on 2026-08-09. The subtlety is the unit: the $55 Email plan is priced per workspace with unlimited users, and Multichannel is priced per user. For one person the jump is 1.6×; for a team of three it is far more.
Why does your total say $147 when the page says $55?
Because $55 is the email-only workspace price. The scenario needs LinkedIn ($87/user), ~750 verified email lookups ($37.50 at their published $0.05 each), three mailboxes (≈$21) and two domains (≈$1.74). Every figure is public; the addition is what nobody does for you.
What are Lemlist's prices in euros?
We could not capture them. Our survey ran from a US IP and Lemlist's currency selector did not render, so no official EUR price was read. The €69/€87 figures that circulate are third-party. We would rather tell you that than publish a number we did not see.
Should I use Lead Scorer or Lemlist?
If you have a qualified list and good copy, Lemlist — it sends better than we do. If the list and the copy are the missing part, the agent produces both and queues them for approval. Plenty of people run Lead Scorer for qualification and Lemlist for execution; export by score and the two fit together in minutes.
