lemlist
Also known as: lempire, lemAgent, Lemskills
French multichannel outbound platform with named agents (lemAgent plus signal, enrichment and messaging agents), a 650M+ lead database, an MCP server whose tools build and launch sequences, and a library of Claude skill files.
lemlist is a French multichannel outbound platform, part of the lempire group, that has added named agents to its sequencing product. lemAgent takes a prompt and builds the lead list, writes the messages and assembles a sequence across email, LinkedIn and calls. Intent Signal Agents track buying signals and enrol leads into campaigns on their own, Data Enrichment Agents gather verified contacts, LinkedIn context and company news against each lead, and a Messaging agent writes copy. The AI assistant runs on Claude, and AI Columns let the customer pick OpenAI, Perplexity, Claude or Gemini models.
Underneath sit a 650M+ contact database, sequences across email, LinkedIn, calling, SMS and WhatsApp, a unified inbox and lemwarm warmup. An MCP server with more than forty tools lets Claude, Cursor or another client build sequences, add leads to live campaigns and launch or pause them, a CLI ships alongside it, and lemlist publishes a library of more than forty Claude skill files. HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive sync both ways.
lemlist states SOC 2 Type II certification, with the report listed on its Bastion trust center, and offers SSO and SAML on Enterprise. Data is stored in the EEA on OVH servers in France, with no other region. There is no built-in CRM. Pricing is published: Email $69 a month for unlimited users, Multichannel $109 per user, with enrichment and intent signals as add-ons.

Use cases & customers

Deployment options
Integrations
Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive CRM integrations with API access, VoIP integrations and a call dialer, and the ability to run lemlist from inside Gmail and LinkedIn. An official MCP server exposes the 600 million plus lead database, verified contacts and multichannel sequences to Claude, ChatGPT and any other agent, and enrichment runs a waterfall across up to ten data providers.
In practice
A rep describes an ideal customer profile in one prompt and lemAgent returns a complete multichannel sequence with the lead list and messages already built.
An intent signal agent notices a prospect showing buying behavior and enrols them into the right campaign automatically, rather than adding them to a report a human reads later.
A team runs lemlist directly from Claude through the MCP server, querying leads and launching sequences without opening the platform.

A prompt in, a running multichannel sequence out, with several agents. lemAgent builds the lead list, writes the messages and assembles a sequence across email, LinkedIn and calls from one description; Signal, Enrichment and Messaging agents work beside it, and AI Columns Workflows chain LLM steps over lead data.

A maintained lead corpus the agents query, plus the customer's own call archive. The 650M+ lead database is filterable by role, industry, technology, hiring and intent, Data Enrichment Agents gather and structure verified contacts, LinkedIn context and company news against each lead, and the MCP page describes the Claap call archive as the customer's own recorded material the agents can query.

| Human Oversight & Guardrails | Partial |

Configuration and reply routing, no approval gate. Sequences are reviewed and configured before launch and every reply lands in the unified inbox for a person, which are customer controlled constraints. The MCP page describes the agent executing what is asked, with no approval step or read only mode for write actions. Sourcelemlist.com/product/lemlist-mcpread 2026-10-01 |

Attestation and access controls are both published. SSO and SAML login come with the Enterprise plan.

| Observability & Auditability | Partial |
|
Campaign performance is visible; the agents' actions are not recorded as such. The Deliverability Hub monitors placement with alerts, the unified inbox keeps each lead's thread across channels and campaign statistics cover open, reply and conversion rates. No run history or log of what lemAgent or the signal agents did is documented. Sourcelemlist.com/product/lemlist-mcpread 2026-10-01 |
|
| Memory & State Persistence | Not documented |
|
Lead records, not memory. Enrichment output, lead scores and tags written against each contact and reused on later campaigns are the product's data model, and the call archive is recorded material rather than agent state; no memory the agents write and read back as their own state, with a scope, lifetime or delete path, is documented.

| Deployment & Data Residency | Not documented |

A fixed single region, stated, with nothing selectable.

| Model Flexibility & Routing | Partial |
|
Customer choice across makers on one surface. The vendor's AI information page names Claude (Anthropic) as the model behind the AI assistant that builds campaigns, a single maker, and lists OpenAI, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini as supported models for AI Columns, where the customer picks. The choice covers AI Columns rather than the agents. Sourcelemlist.com/ai-inforead 2026-10-01 |

The vendor's own MCP server is fully documented, beside an API and CLI. A published server URL with API key auth, more than forty tools, and tools that create sequences, add leads to live campaigns, launch campaigns and pause or rewrite steps; developer.lemlist.com documents setup, and the pricing page lists lemlist MCP and CLI on every plan.

| Testing, Debugging & Optimization | Partial |

Optimization of what was sent, not an evaluation of what the agent wrote. lemwarm ramps sending before live traffic, the Deliverability Hub monitors placement and campaign statistics show reply and conversion rates, and agents can be asked to find weak steps and rewrite them.

LinkedIn actions documented, mechanism not stated. LinkedIn automation is a sequence channel on the Multichannel plan and lemlist can be used from inside LinkedIn, so the product acts inside an interface the vendor does not control.

flat workspace price on Email, per user on Multichannel, plus monthly data add-ons

What is public
lemlist.com/pricing publishes every plan and add-on price, monthly and annual; Enterprise is custom.
Billing mechanics
Monthly or annual billing; Email is flat for the workspace, Multichannel per user; enrichment credits and intent signals as monthly add-ons.
Cost watchouts
Lead enrichment and buying intent signals are separate monthly add-ons on top of the plan, Multichannel is priced per user, and WhatsApp is an add-on on Multichannel.
Variable cost rationale
Plan prices are flat and published; data volume is bought as monthly enrichment and signal add-ons, so heavier prospecting moves the bill in published steps.
Additional watchouts
Add the enrichment and intent signal add-ons to the plan price when sizing a data heavy motion.
Overage / add-ons
Enrichment and intent signals are bought as monthly add-ons: 2,000 credits (400 emails or 100 phones) for $20 a month ($16 annually), 100 signals for $29 ($21).
