Colldly vs Lemlist

Lemlist became famous for personalised images and multichannel sequences with LinkedIn. It charges per user though, and leads are an extra. Colldly builds on a built-in company database, AI that writes from the company website, and a price without per-seat fees.

Honestly: who is better at what

No tool wins everything. These are the things Lemlist does better, and the things where Colldly leads.

Where Lemlist is better

  • Multichannel: LinkedIn steps (profile visit, invite, message) and calls in the same sequence.
  • Visual personalisation: images and videos with the prospect's name and logo inside the email.
  • Its own contact database with intent signals and a browser extension for LinkedIn.
  • A strong brand, community and educational content that a generation of SDRs grew up on.

Where Colldly is better

  • Priced per account, not per user. Lemlist charges every seat; a five-person team costs five times as much.
  • Local data: Google Maps and business directories find the small companies that are not in a LinkedIn database.
  • The AI writes from facts on the website, not from an English LinkedIn profile.
  • Address verification included in credits, Unibox with intent, Autopilot and client workspaces.
  • EUR pricing and support from the people who build the app.

Price in practice: three scenarios

A price list is one thing, the monthly invoice another. Three typical situations and what you would pay in each, including the data and verification you usually buy separately with the competition.

Switching from Lemlist to Colldly

What can be carried over, what you rebuild and how to do it without a gap in outreach. Usually one afternoon.

1
Export your contacts from Lemlist to CSV (company, email, website, name) and upload them to a lead list in Colldly. The import maps the columns itself and merges duplicates.
2
Connect the same mailboxes over SMTP and IMAP with an app password. Reputation is tied to the domain and mailbox, not the tool, so you lose nothing.
3
Carry over the blocklist and unsubscribes: export from Lemlist, import into the Blocklist. People who opted out must not get an email from the new tool either.
4
Rebuild the sequence: either templates with variables (your own copy) or let the AI write from website facts. Run both tools in parallel for two weeks and compare reply rates.

Common questions

Does Colldly have LinkedIn steps like Lemlist?
No. Colldly is an email tool with data and AI. It does not do LinkedIn steps, because for local SMEs LinkedIn rarely reaches the decision maker.
Can I make images with the company name?
No, Colldly keeps emails in plain text, which is safer for deliverability. Personalisation goes through the copy: a fact from the company's website in the first sentence.
How much does a team cost in Colldly?
Nothing extra. Team members and clients are included in the plan; you pay per account, not per head.
