Pricing analysis Lemlist pricing in a nutshell: Freemium (no campaign sending) · Email $69/month flat with unlimited users ($55 billed yearly) · Multichannel $109 per user per month ($87 billed yearly) · Enterprise custom. Finder credits come from a separate add-on ($20/month for 2,000 credits). Annual billing saves 20%. Lemlist also bills in EUR and GBP.
Plans
lemlist ships 5 tiers. Per-seat pricing combined with a credit system for data lookups - the listed price is rarely the real cost.
How much does Lemlist cost? Four tiers in 2026 : a Freemium plan without campaign sending, Email at $69 per month (flat, unlimited users), Multichannel Expert at $109 per user per month, and Enterprise on quote. Annual billing takes 20% off and quarterly billing 10%. The number that matters for Multichannel is per user : a five-person team pays $545 a month on monthly billing, or $6,540 a year, before any add-on. Lemlist prices the sending, not the data, so email-finding credits and enrichment are a separate line in most stacks (Lead data enrichment add-on, $20 per month for 2,000 credits).
Lemlist pricing tiers - verified October 2026 on the vendor's pricing page and help center:
| Plan | Price | Best for | Limits / Inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freemium | $0 | Evaluation / testing | One-time trial of 200 credits · no weekly refills · no campaign sending |
| $69/mo ($55/mo annual, -20%) | Email-first outbound, teams of any size | Unlimited users & email senders · 50,000 emails/month · no credits included | |
| Multichannel Expert | $109/user/mo ($87/user/mo annual, -20%) | Email + LinkedIn + calls + SMS + WhatsApp | 5 senders per user · 400 credits per user per month |
| Enterprise | Custom | Large outbound teams | Talk to sales · 400 credits per user per month (legacy teams keep more) |
| Lead data enrichment add-on | $20/mo ($16/mo annual) | Finder credits | 2,000 credits per month = 400 emails or 100 phones |
Credits
lemlist bills actions in credits with non-equal costs. A 5,000-credit plan does NOT mean 5,000 lookups.
How Lemlist charges per action - the credit table buyers should memorise before signing :
| Action | Credits / cost |
|---|---|
| Find 1 email (finder + verifier) | 5 ! |
| Find 1 phone | 20 ! |
| LinkedIn enrichment | 1 ✓ |
| SMS | 6 ! |
| Call (per billed minute) | 4 ! |
| Signal agent (per signal) | 100 ! |
The ✓ markers are bundled / cheap. The ! markers are the line items that compound the bill - watch these closely when sizing your plan. Credits are only deducted when a deliverable result is found, and plan credits reset every month while add-on and top-up credits roll over.

How lemlist stacks against Derrick, Hunter, and the other tools we benchmarked.
| Action | Lemlist credits | Lemlist cost (add-on rate, about $0.01/credit) | Derrick STANDARD cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find 1 email | 5 | $0.05 | €0.01 (5 credits, already verified) |
| Find 1 phone | 20 | $0.20 | €0.40 (200 credits) |
| Enrich 100 leads (email) | 500 | $5 | €1 |
| Enrich 100 leads (email + phone) | 2,500 | $25 | €41 |
How the Lemlist cost is calculated:
Finding: at the add-on rate, Lemlist's email finding (about $0.05) is several times Derrick's (€0.01), while its phone finding (about $0.20) is cheaper per phone than Derrick's (€0.40). Lemlist's value is the sending platform, not the data.

The verdict
Lemlist earns its place when :
- You value email deliverability + brand-grade personalization (images, videos, landing pages) over per-credit cost
- You're a solo SDR or small team running email-first outbound on the flat-priced Email plan
- You want a polished multichannel UI (email + LinkedIn + calls) without piecing together 3 tools
It doesn't earn its place when :
- You enrich a lot of emails - credits are not included on the Email plan (400 per user on Multichannel), so volume means buying the add-on
- Your motion is phone-heavy - 20 credits per phone adds up
- You send more than 50,000 emails/month on the Email plan
Why teams pick Derrick instead :
- You need to enrich lead lists in Google Sheets BEFORE pushing to Lemlist campaigns - from €20/month
- You want to bypass Lemlist's credit pool by enriching externally (Derrick) + sequencing in Lemlist
- Your team works in Sheets and wants email + phone + tech data in one place, with credits that never expire while you stay on a paid plan

Switch to Derrick
Derrick is a web app: nothing to install, no credit card, 100 free credits every month.
Sign up on the Derrick web app. Nothing to install, no credit card required: you start with 100 free credits per month.
Upload the CSV you exported from lemlist, paste LinkedIn URLs, or import from LinkedIn Sales Navigator. The same actions also run in Google Sheets, in Claude (MCP) and via the API.
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 team of 2-3 people on multichannel outreach, the Multichannel Expert plan ($109/month per user, $87 billed yearly) means $218 to $327/month on monthly billing, plus any add-ons (finder credits).
If your outreach is email-only (no LinkedIn), the Email plan is a flat $69/month ($55 billed yearly) with unlimited users, whatever the team size.
To keep data costs predictable, you can use Derrick for enrichment (EUR 20/month for 10,000 credits, which never expire while you stay on a paid plan) rather than Lemlist credits: an email costs €0.01 with Derrick STANDARD versus about $0.05 at Lemlist's add-on rate.
Lemlist has a Freemium plan, but it is extremely limited:
This plan is useful for testing the lead finder, not for real outreach. To send campaigns, you must upgrade to the Email plan minimum ($69/month, $55 billed yearly).
Lemlist also offers a 14-day free trial.
Plan credits reset every month, but add-on and top-up credits roll over. According to Lemlist's help center, credits included in your plan do not carry over, while credits bought through the Lead data enrichment add-on roll over with no limit for as long as the add-on is active.
The Email plan includes no credits (accounts created before 2025-12-18 keep 1,000 credits/month per seat), and Multichannel includes 400 per user per month. By comparison, Derrick credits never expire while you stay on a paid plan, allowing you to accumulate credits for activity spikes.
Yes, Lemlist allows upgrading or downgrading your plan anytime:

It depends on your outreach strategy:
If you do cold email only:
If you combine email + LinkedIn + calls:
Our recommendation:
Budget-friendly alternative:
Lemlist is worth it IF: You need advanced multichannel automation (email + LinkedIn + calls); Deep personalization (images, videos, landing pages) is important to you; You send high email volumes (>1000/month); You have budget for $69/month (Email, flat) or $109/month per user (Multichannel); You value support and intuitive interface
Lemlist can be expensive IF: You do basic email outreach only; You have low volume (<500 emails/month); You don’t use advanced features (multichannel, AI, etc.); You need lots of credits for lead finding (plan credits reset monthly)
Verdict: Lemlist is an excellent automation tool, but not the most economical for data enrichment. The best approach is to combine Lemlist (automation) with a specialized enrichment tool like Derrick (data) to optimize your costs and performance.
To enrich your lists before launching your Lemlist campaigns, try Derrick for free: 100 free credits + rollover on paid plans starting at €20/month.
