Warm-up that comes with the sending tool: Emelia, lemlist and Instantly
When the mailbox you would warm with lemwarm sends its campaigns from another tool anyway, these three do both jobs under a single subscription.
- 1
Best for: Warm-up, cold email and LinkedIn in one planEach plan connects a set number of mailboxes and warms every one of them: up to 3 on Start with 1 LinkedIn account, up to 50 on Grow ($97 a month, 3 accounts), unlimited on Scale. Campaigns go out from the same mailboxes and the email finder is in the plan. There is no free warm-up plan: Emelia asks for a paid plan and sets sending limits, which keeps its warm-up network clean.

Best for: Keeping lemwarm, with lemlist doing the sendinglemwarm Essential is part of every paid lemlist plan, so moving your campaigns to lemlist removes the separate warm-up bill. Email costs $69 a month for the whole team, with as many addresses as you connect and up to 50,000 emails a month; Multichannel adds LinkedIn at $109 per user a month. Inbox placement tests sit in its Deliverability Hub, paid in credits.

Other warm-up tools whose bill grows with your mailboxes: MailReach, Warmup Inbox, Mailwarm and Warmbox

Warm-up with inbox placement tests: Warmy and Folderly
For when you want to know where your emails land, and why, more than to warm a mailbox. lemwarm on its own has no placement test.
- 1
Best for: A plan per mailbox that includes placement testsIn Warmy’s app every mailbox carries a plan of its own, from $49 a month, and that plan adds a deliverability tester with seed mailboxes, email verification and DMARC monitoring. It sends no campaigns; the 7-day trial needs no card. Against lemwarm, it adds the placement tests lemwarm lacks, at a higher price per mailbox.

lemwarm vs Warmup Inbox, Instantly and Warmy
Three pairings that come up in searches: another tool priced per mailbox, a sending tool, and a deliverability suite.
lemwarm vs Warmup Inbox
Both price warm-up per mailbox: $29 a month on lemwarm Essential against $19 on Warmup Inbox Basic, or $24 against $15 on yearly billing. Warmup Inbox states its daily volume (75 warm-up emails on Basic) and can be tried for 7 days without a card; lemwarm publishes no daily cap per plan and has no trial, but it comes free of extra charge with a paid lemlist plan.
lemwarm vs Instantly
Not the same kind of tool: lemwarm only warms, Instantly sends your cold email and warms every mailbox it connects. For 3 mailboxes, lemwarm alone comes to $87 a month, more than Instantly’s Growth plan at $47, which also sends, within 5,000 emails a month. lemwarm keeps the edge if you are happy with the tool that sends today and only need its mailbox warmed.
lemwarm vs Warmy
Both end up billing each mailbox: lemwarm $29 an address on Essential, Warmy a plan per mailbox in its app, from $49, even though its comparison pages describe plans covering several mailboxes. Mailbox for mailbox, lemwarm costs less; Warmy’s plan brings placement tests that lemwarm on its own does not have.
Choosing an alternative: five questions to settle first
Our email warm-up tools comparison sets these tools and a few others side by side, on price per mailbox.
- Do these mailboxes also send your campaigns? Then a sending tool that includes warm-up spares you a second subscription.
- How many mailboxes? lemwarm bills every address, so the bill grows with each one, while an Emelia plan covers a set number: for 3 mailboxes, $87 a month on lemwarm Essential against $37 on Start; for 50 mailboxes, $1,450 a month on lemwarm Essential against $97 on Grow, sending and LinkedIn included on Emelia’s side (every case on the pricing page).
- Do you need placement tests? MailReach, Warmy and Folderly include them; lemwarm leaves them to lemlist.
- Who else is in the warm-up network? A network is only as good as the senders in it: look at who can join and what limits apply.
- Can you try it first? Without a card: Warmup Inbox 7 days, Warmy 7, TrulyInbox 7, Instantly 14 and Emelia 7. lemwarm, MailReach, Mailwarm and Warmbox show no trial, and Folderly starts with a demo.
lemwarm alternatives: questions
It depends on the sending. To warm up and send in one tool: Emelia (with LinkedIn), lemlist (which already includes lemwarm) or Instantly. To keep warm-up apart from your sending tool: MailReach, Warmup Inbox, Warmy or TrulyInbox.
TrulyInbox, with a free plan for 1 account. Emelia, for its part, has no free warm-up plan, which keeps its network to paying senders: you test it for 7 days, no card asked.
Rather its natural home: every paid lemlist plan includes lemwarm Essential. If you would send from lemlist anyway, the separate lemwarm subscription goes away.
MailReach (spam-test credits in its plan), Warmy (deliverability tester) and Folderly (Inbox Insights); lemlist runs placement tests in its Deliverability Hub, paid in credits, and Instantly sells them as a separate subscription.
Emelia is our product, so take its place here with that in mind. It is listed for one need: warming mailboxes and sending the campaigns from the same plan, LinkedIn included.
