Pricing

Waalaxy is the budget-friendly choice, with a genuine free plan to start and paid tiers from around €25/seat/mo, which makes it easy for a solo founder to test LinkedIn outreach at no cost. lemlist has no free plan, only a free trial, and is priced per seat from roughly $55/seat/mo annual with an optional lead-database add-on. If cost and a no-commitment start are the priority, Waalaxy wins outright; lemlist’s price buys more email firepower and a database.

Verdict: Waalaxy for free and cheap entry; lemlist when you need its email and database depth.

Features

Waalaxy is LinkedIn-first: connection requests and message sequences run from a simple Chrome extension, with email as a backup channel. It is deliberately light, which is the point. lemlist is the heavier, email-led tool, with rich personalization (images, video, liquid variables), a built-in lead database, lemwarm deliverability, plus LinkedIn and call steps. The honest caveats: Waalaxy is LinkedIn-centric with lighter email features and its automation carries LinkedIn account risk, while lemlist’s database coverage trails dedicated data vendors.

Verdict: Waalaxy for simple LinkedIn outreach; lemlist for serious, personalized email campaigns.

Integrations

lemlist offers around 40 integrations, including HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Aircall, and Zapier. Waalaxy offers around 20, including LinkedIn, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zapier, and Make. Both connect to common CRMs, but lemlist’s catalog is roughly twice the size, which matters as your stack grows.

Verdict: lemlist for a broader catalog; Waalaxy covers the basics for LinkedIn workflows.

Ease of use

This is Waalaxy’s home turf. Waalaxy has a very low learning curve: install the extension, pick a sequence, and start, which suits non-technical founders. lemlist is also beginner-friendly, but building personalized multichannel email campaigns is naturally more involved than firing off LinkedIn requests. For the fastest, simplest start, Waalaxy wins; lemlist asks a bit more in exchange for far more capability.

Verdict: Waalaxy for sheer simplicity; lemlist for a still-easy tool that does much more.
