Multi-CRM integrations
API on every plan (up to 1,000 requests/min on Scale) + premium support

Grow plan is the most popular according to Emelia
Yearly billing (-17%): Start €31/mo (€370/year), Grow €81/mo (€970/year), Scale €248/mo (€2,970/year). The credits listed above are offered at signup, they are not a monthly allowance.
Additional option: Pay-as-you-go credits If you only need enrichment credits (email finder, phone finder, AI actions) without automation, Emelia offers a pay-as-you-go option at €19/month for 1,000 credits, valid for one year after purchase (unused credits roll over). One credit buys:
1 email found (1 credit), so 1,000 emails
or 1 AI Action (1 credit), so 1,000 AI Actions
or 1 phone number (50 credits), so 20 phone numbers
or 1 email verification (0.25 credit), so 4,000 verifications
Start Plan (€37/month)
The Start plan is designed for freelancers and small teams getting started with cold emailing. For €37 per month, you get:
Connect up to 3 mailboxes
Unlimited email sending (no limit on contacts or campaigns)
1 LinkedIn account for automation
Free email warmup included
Unlimited LinkedIn scraping
500 signup credits (one-off, not monthly) for email finder, phone finder and AI actions
1 CRM integration
Automated A/B testing
SpinText (automatic content variation)
Reply from Emelia (integrated inbox)
This plan is ideal for testing the tool or managing moderate prospecting volume (up to ~300-500 prospects per week).

The Grow plan is Emelia’s most popular. For €97 per month, you can:
Connect up to 50 mailboxes

Unlimited LinkedIn scraping with segmented scraping
1 CRM integration (HubSpot, Pipedrive, etc.)
1,000 signup credits (one-off, not monthly)
All advanced features (multi-sender, Mail+X minutes, etc.)
This plan suits sales teams looking to scale their campaigns and agencies managing multiple clients. The price-per-mailbox ratio (€1.94 per mailbox) makes it particularly competitive.

The Scale plan is designed for large agencies and teams managing massive prospecting volumes. For €297 per month:
Unlimited mailboxes (connect as many as needed)

Hidden costs
Hidden costs to know before buying Emelia
Things Emelia's pricing page doesn't put in big type.
All paid tiers include unlimited email send + unlimited warmup. Lemlist charges Lemwarm separately. Most competitors cap sending. Emelia + Smartlead are the two leaders on this dimension.
FR-built (Paris HQ)
Emelia is French-built - strong support in French + EU GDPR posture. For FR/EU teams preferring local vendor, materially better than US-based Smartlead/Instantly. Most product UI bilingual.
Low per-mailbox ratio on Grow (€1.94/mailbox)
Grow €97 / 50 mailboxes = €1.94/mailbox, a low per-mailbox price in the cold-email category. For a multi-mailbox motion, Emelia Grow is mathematically attractive.
AI Actions bundled in credit pool
Emelia's credits cover email find + phone find + AI Actions (LLM personalization) in one pool, so you do not pay for a separate AI tool for personalization.
Plans include signup credits, not a monthly allowance
Start, Grow and Scale list 500 / 1,000 / 5,000 free credits offered at signup, not a monthly allowance. Recurring credits come from the optional pack (from €19/month for 1,000 credits). Credits stay valid for one year after purchase and roll over from month to month.

The cleanest way to read this : pick your monthly volume, then compare what each vendor charges to deliver it. On Emelia, recurring credits come from the optional pack (€19/month for 1,000 credits), the Start, Grow and Scale plans only include signup credits. Derrick's credit ladder usually wins below 50K credits ; volume-tiered tools win above that ceiling.

The verdict
Should you buy Emelia? Our verdict
✓
Pick emelia if…
Your motion is cold email at scale with multiple mailboxes - low per-mailbox ratio (€1.94 on Grow)
You're FR/EU team preferring local vendor with bilingual support
You want bundled email + LinkedIn + AI Actions in one credit pool
✕
Skip emelia if…
You only need email finder - Pay-as-you-go (€19) useful but Hunter Starter (€34/mo billed yearly, €49 monthly) may be better value at low volume
You need master inbox UX - Smartlead/Instantly more mature on multi-mailbox UX
You need a large recurring credit allowance - the plans only include signup credits, extra credits cost from €19/mo per 1,000
→
Pick Derrick instead if…
You need to enrich lead lists in Google Sheets before Emelia campaigns - from €20/month
You want phone + tech + firmographics alongside email finding (Emelia is sender + finder focused)
Your team wants the data layer in a web app with nothing to install, or in Sheets (MCP and API from the PLUS plan)
Emelia positions itself as one of the most affordable cold emailing solutions on the market, particularly for teams managing multiple mailboxes. The price-per-mailbox ratio (€1.94 with the Grow plan) is unbeatable, especially including free warmup.
Emelia is ideal if you’re looking for:
A simple and effective email automation tool
Predictable cost (no billing per contact or per email sent)
Free email warmup included (saving $300-800/month)
No-commitment approach (cancel anytime)
Emelia is less suitable if:
You’re primarily looking for an advanced data enrichment tool (in this case, Derrick is more suitable with its 10,000 credits at €20/month and rollover)
You need advanced LinkedIn automation (prefer Waalaxy, Expandi, or La Growth Machine)
You want an “all-in-one” solution with integrated CRM (look at Apollo or HubSpot)
Our recommendation:
For a complete and optimized workflow, combine:
Derrick for enriching your lists (LinkedIn, emails, phones, firmographic data) – from €20/month
Emelia for cold email campaign automation and warmup – from €37/month
Optionally, add a dedicated LinkedIn automation tool if you heavily target this channel
This stack costs about 20 EUR (Derrick STANDARD) + €37 (Emelia Start) per month and allows you to manage serious B2B prospecting volume with qualified data and automated campaigns.
Ready to enrich your prospect lists? Try Derrick for free with 100 credits included, then combine it with Emelia for ultra-performing cold email campaigns.

Pick the column to enrich and the data you need: emails, phone numbers, LinkedIn data, company info, tech stack. Derrick fills the columns, and the email and phone finders only charge for what they find.
For a small team (2-5 people), the Grow plan at €97/month is the most suitable. It allows you to connect up to 50 mailboxes, which is more than enough for a growing sales team. The cost works out to about €1.94 per mailbox, with warmup and unlimited sending included.
If you’re just starting out or testing the tool, the Start plan at €37/month (3 mailboxes) may suffice for moderate prospecting volume.
Does Emelia have a free plan?
+
No, Emelia does not offer a permanent free plan. However, the tool offers a 7-day free trial without commitment and without requiring a credit card. This allows you to test all features of the chosen plan before subscribing.
For data enrichment on a tight budget, Derrick offers a free plan with 100 credits per month, ideal for testing the tool.
Do Emelia credits expire?
+
The 500, 1,000 or 5,000 credits listed on Start, Grow and Scale are offered at signup, they are not a monthly allowance. For the optional credit pack (from €19/month for 1,000 credits), Emelia states that unused credits roll over from month to month and stay valid for one year after purchase.
Yes, Emelia operates without commitment. You can change plans (upgrade or downgrade) at any time. For upgrades, you pay the prorated difference. For downgrades, the change takes effect at the next billing cycle.
Emelia also allows you to cancel your subscription at any time, without cancellation fees.
Is Emelia's email warmup really effective?
+
Based on user feedback and available comparisons (Reddit, G2), Emelia’s warmup is considered performant and reliable. The tool performs automatic email exchanges with a network of mailboxes to gradually build your sender reputation.
The fact that warmup is included for free (while dedicated tools like Mailwarm charge $79/month per mailbox) makes it a major argument for choosing Emelia.
How much does Emelia cost compared to Lemlist?
+
Lemlist Email Pro: $59/month for 1 single mailbox, without warmup included Emelia Start: €37/month for 3 mailboxes, warmup included
Yes, Emelia offers LinkedIn automation in addition to cold email:
Automated profile visits
Automatic connection request sending
Sequenced LinkedIn messages
However, LinkedIn automation is not Emelia’s core business (unlike tools like Waalaxy or Expandi). Emelia’s LinkedIn features are more basic and aim to complement your email campaigns.
If you want advanced LinkedIn automation, it may be relevant to combine Emelia (for email) with a dedicated LinkedIn tool, while using Derrick for data enrichment upstream.
