I've been running outreach campaigns across several projects simultaneously for over a year now, and Lemlist is the tool I kept coming back to after trying about ten alternatives.
The multi-channel sequencing is the core reason I stayed. I can build a full LinkedIn + email + manual step flow with conditional branches – "if not opened in 3 days, switch subject line variant" – without touching a single line of code. That alone saves me hours per week compared to what I was doing before in other tools.
The Zapier integration and native webhooks are what keep me in the ecosystem. I pipe data into Pipedrive, trigger status changes on leads. I now manage most of it through Claude AI, which connects to Lemlist via MCP and builds campaign reports for me on demand. That combination changed how I work – and I didn't see it coming.
UI is functional, I'd say 8/10. The interface is clean enough, but campaign status visibility could be better – it's not always obvious at a glance which campaign is at what stage. You get used to it, but there's a learning curve that the onboarding doesn't fully address. Speaking of which – Lemlist sends helpful emails, but in practice I learned the tool through Claude, not their support. Make of that what you will.
Performance is solid. No meaningful deliverability issues, sequences run as configured, nothing breaks unexpectedly.
LinkedIn integration is valuable and a real differentiator for me– not every tool in this category does it well. One thing that does irritate me: the 200-character limit on LinkedIn messages even on a Premium subscription. It's an artificial constraint that doesn't match what the platform itself allows, and it shows up at the worst moments.
Pricing is the honest friction point. It's not cheap once you scale, and the limits push you toward higher plans faster than you'd like. I justify it by deal value, not tool cost. Their built-in AI personalization exists and works, but I don't use it – when you already have Claude handling your workflow, the native AI features feel redundant.

Nothing critical, but a few things worth mentioning.
The 200-character limit on LinkedIn messages is the most persistent irritant – especially on a Premium subscription. The platform itself allows much longer messages, so the constraint feels a little bit strange.
Campaign status visibility could be cleaner. When you're running several sequences in parallel, it's not always obvious at a glance where each one stands. You end up clicking around more than you should. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
