Why teams pick Cadency
LinkedIn senders are in the plan
Four on Small Team, twenty on Scale, at $39 or $25 each beyond. Adding a sender does not add a user, and people who only read the inbox cost nothing.
Volume without the per-user multiplier
A team with twenty LinkedIn accounts pays $699 a month on Scale. On lemlist Multichannel that is twenty users at $87 to $109 each.
The steps a LinkedIn-first tool ships
Comments on the last post with human approval, likes, follows and voice notes sit in the same sequence as invites, messages and InMail.
Rotation with one face per lead
One campaign is spread across every sender by remaining ceiling, and each lead sees a single person from the first visit to the last follow-up.
Email priced by volume
Unlimited mailboxes on both plans. You pay for what you send, 100k, 500k, 1M or 2M a month.
One inbox, both channels
A LinkedIn message and the email that followed it are one conversation, tagged by interest, answered as the sender who started it.
Where lemlist wins
It is not always us.
You run calls, SMS or WhatsApp too
lemlist's Multichannel plan adds a dialer, SMS and a WhatsApp add-on. Cadency is LinkedIn and email, deliberately.
You want a big self-serve database on day one
lemlist's 650M+ lead database with email and phone finder is included on every plan. Cadency's database and waterfall enrichment run on credits.
You want to try before you talk to anyone
lemlist has a 14-day free trial. Cadency opens access in small batches after a short call.
What does LinkedIn actually cost on lemlist?
lemlist's Email plan is $69 a month, or $55 on annual billing, with unlimited users and 50,000 emails a month. It does not include LinkedIn. LinkedIn automation starts on Multichannel at $109 per user per month, $87 on annual billing. A seat connects one LinkedIn account and five sending mailboxes, so five LinkedIn accounts means five Multichannel seats, $545 a month. On Cadency, Small Team includes five LinkedIn senders for $199 a month, and Scale includes twenty for $699.
How deep does each tool go on LinkedIn?
lemlist automates profile visits, invitations, messages and voice messages, and adds InMail when the connected account is LinkedIn Premium, using the account's own InMail credits. Cadency covers the same actions and adds comments on the lead's last post, drafted by AI and approved by a human, plus likes and follows, so a sequence can warm a lead up before asking for anything.
Which one fits an agency?
An agency selling email campaigns with a large prospecting database will find lemlist's Email plan hard to beat at $55 to $69 a month. An agency running LinkedIn for several clients pays per user on lemlist and per LinkedIn sender on Cadency, with unlimited workspaces and teammates, and can add ambassador accounts when a client needs more capacity than it has accounts.
