Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

lemlist

  • No standalone free plan, only a 14-day trial after which new campaigns cannot be launched without upgrading.
  • Multichannel plan pricing scales per sender/user, which can get costly for larger teams.
  • Enterprise features like SSO/SAML require a custom-priced plan and a 5-user minimum.
  • Advanced AI agent capabilities are newer and less proven than long-established outreach features.

Less Annoying CRM

  • There is no free tier, only a single $15 per user per month price
  • File storage is capped at 25 GB per user
  • The vendor advises staying below 50,000 total contacts, so very large databases sit outside the intended use even though no hard limit is enforced
