The key differences

Where each tool starts

lemlist started as a cold email tool and added LinkedIn, calls and a lead database. Waalaxy started on LinkedIn (it was called ProspectIn) and only added email later, on its Business plan.

LinkedIn limits

Waalaxy's Pro plan allows 300 LinkedIn invitations per month; Advanced and Business go up to 800. lemlist recommends staying around 20 invitations per day per account. In both cases, LinkedIn's own weekly limits apply.

Email

lemlist includes warm-up, sender rotation and a deliverability hub. At Waalaxy, cold email is only available on the Business plan and no warm-up is listed on its pricing page.

Data

lemlist has its own database of 650M+ contacts, paid in credits. Waalaxy builds lists from LinkedIn and finds emails with credits (500 per month on Business).
