Pricing: What You Actually Pay in 2026

Saleshandy's base plan is $25/month per user with unlimited email accounts included. Lemlist's Email Starter is $39/month for email only, but LinkedIn steps require the Multichannel Expert plan at $99/month per user, per Lemlist's pricing page. A 3-person team on Lemlist multichannel pays $297/month versus $75/month on Saleshandy Starter. That's $2,664/year extra for LinkedIn access.

Saleshandy's Pro plan at $74/month adds deeper analytics and more sequence conditions. That's the right pick for teams running pure cold email without LinkedIn. Most teams on Lemlist's top tier pay for LinkedIn steps they test once and never build into their actual workflow. It's the most common waste in this category.

Deliverability: Which Tool Lands in the Inbox

Saleshandy's unlimited email account model gives volume senders a structural advantage. Rotating sends across 20 to 30 accounts protects domain reputation better than concentrating volume on 3 to 5. Lemlist's Lemwarm product handles warm-up well for teams sending under 500 emails per day, per Lemlist's deliverability documentation. Above that threshold, account rotation matters more than warm-up quality alone.

Deliverability failures are almost always a list problem. Both tools land in the inbox when you use validated, cleaned contacts. Both hit spam filters when you blast unverified scrapes with no bounce protection in place.

Personalization and LinkedIn: Where Lemlist Pulls Ahead

Lemlist's image personalization is the one feature in this price range that genuinely moves reply rates for targeted ABM outreach. You can embed a prospect's LinkedIn photo, first name, or company logo into a custom image dynamically, then include that image in the email body. Saleshandy doesn't do this, and no other tool under $100/month matches it, per Lemlist's product documentation.

LinkedIn steps in Lemlist sequences go beyond a basic connection request. Profile views, post likes, and follow-up DMs can all live in the same sequence logic as your email steps. For teams targeting 50 to 200 named accounts per quarter with high ACVs, that combined coverage moves reply rates in ways email alone won't replicate. For teams blasting broad ICPs at volume, it's a premium you'll pay for and won't use.

Saleshandy vs Lemlist: Who Should Choose Which?

Saleshandy fits high-volume cold email operations and agency teams managing multiple client workspaces. Lemlist fits ABM-style outreach to named account lists where personalization and LinkedIn justify the price premium. Those are genuinely different use cases, not just different preferences.

Choose Saleshandy if you're sending 1,000 or more cold emails per day, managing outbound across multiple clients in separate workspaces, or running a pure email sequence motion without LinkedIn as a touchpoint. It's the leaner, cheaper infrastructure choice for founders and agency teams who don't need to pay for features they won't use.

Choose Lemlist if your deal size makes 100 personalized touches worth more than 10,000 volume blasts, you need LinkedIn steps in the same workflow as your email sequence, or you want one unified tool rather than stacking a separate warm-up product alongside a sending tool. If you'd rather skip the tool decision entirely, Modern Inbound handles the full outbound stack from infrastructure to booked meetings.

Scale Outreach Without Hiring SDRs

Most B2B teams underestimate the work before sending: buyer-language research, list logic, DNS, warm-up, deliverability, copy testing, and reply handling. Modern Inbound runs the operating layer so founders can stay focused on sales calls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Saleshandy cheaper than Lemlist?

Yes. Saleshandy starts at $25/month versus Lemlist at $39/month for email-only plans. LinkedIn access on Lemlist requires the Multichannel Expert plan at $99/month per user, per Lemlist's pricing page. Three seats on that plan cost $297/month versus $75/month on Saleshandy Starter.

Which has better email deliverability, Saleshandy or Lemlist?

Both tools include warm-up, but Saleshandy's unlimited account model gives volume senders a structural advantage. Rotating sends across 20 to 30 accounts protects domain reputation at scale. Lemlist's Lemwarm is effective under 500 emails per day, per Lemlist's deliverability documentation. Above that, Saleshandy wins.

Does Saleshandy support LinkedIn outreach?

No. Saleshandy is email-only and doesn't support LinkedIn connection requests, profile views, or DMs inside sequences. For combined email and LinkedIn sequences, Lemlist's Multichannel Expert plan at $99/month per user is the option here.

Can Saleshandy match Lemlist's personalization?

No. Saleshandy supports liquid variables and conditional text but doesn't support dynamic image personalization, where prospect photos or logos are embedded into images. For ABM outreach where visual personalization matters, Lemlist is the stronger choice.

Running cold email on either tool requires clean data and proper warm-up discipline. If you'd rather skip the stack setup entirely, Modern Inbound manages the full outbound stack for B2B teams from $2,500/month.
