Introducing Lemlist

Lemlist is a French startup created in 2018. It is an e-mailing software tool that helps companies and entrepreneurs automate their commercial prospecting actions by e-mail. 📧

The tool specializes in cold e-mail, which involves publishing a message to an audience with whom there has been no interaction yet. 🥶

Here are the main features:

• 🔵 Personalize messages with text, image or video variables.
• 🔵 Multi-channel prospecting (cold emails, LinkedIn messages, profile visits, calls).
• 🔵 Integrations with third-party tools like HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Zapier etc.
• 🔵 Dashboard for tracking prospects and teams.
• 🔵 Automated follow-up and reminder scenario.

Lemlist is designed for sales professionals and companies of all sizes.

What are the similarities and differences in functionality?

Before you can decide which tool is best suited to your strategy, you need to be familiar with the different interfaces and know which one speaks to you the most! ⬇️

1) Automated prospecting campaigns

What better way to start this comparison than to run a campaign on both tools? Let’s get started! 👇🏼

How do I use Waalaxy?

By clicking on “Create a campaign”, you’ll land in the ship of possibilities 🛸 , where you’ll be able to pilot your campaign, choosing the destination of your leads.

You have several choices:

• 1️⃣ “Beginner sequences”: easy-to-use sequences for beginners (invitation, message, visit, etc.).
• 2️⃣ Sequences “LinkedIn”: sequences with LinkedIn actions (visit + invitation + message…).
• 3️⃣ Sequences “LinkedIn + Email”: sequences with LinkedIn actions, enrichment and/or emailing (visit + invitation + emailing…).

Each sequence is arranged and Waalaxy guides you through your choice: 👇🏼

• Each sequence is annotated with a difficulty level to help you avoid venturing too far too quickly.
• The sequences are arranged by “Use cases” (Promotion, recruitment, networking, affiliation…).
• You can see at a glance the number of sequences available for each category.

You can also add or exclude filters to quickly find your favorite campaign!

For this example, we have chosen the sequence “Invitation + 2 messages”.

You’ll now be able to name your campaign (this step is optional, but necessary to avoid getting lost among all your future campaigns). 👀

Next, you can add prospects in several ways:

• 🥇 From your lists (provided you’ve already filled it in).
• 🥈 From an auto-import (a person who performs an action related to your LinkedIn account).
• 🥉 From LinkedIn (via the Waalaxy Chrome extension).

Once your prospects have been imported, you can add a note (tip: invitations without notes are accepted 10% more often).

At this stage, you have the choice of modifying the waiting time before performing your next action, ranging from 0 to 28 days. 📆

We’ll continue campaign setup with message customization after campaign setup on Lemlist, no jealousy here! 👀

What to do with Lemlist?

To launch your campaign, go to the menu, click on the little “+” and you’ll be presented with 3 choices:

• 1️⃣ Create a campaign with AI: provide information for your sequence and lemlist takes care of the rest.
• 2️⃣ Create manually: select automatic actions (send email, visit, invitation, message).
• 3️⃣ Campaign library: you can duplicate the campaign of your choice (based on your profile, intention, target, approach and desired performance).

For this example, we have chosen the sequence “Send a message on LinkedIn”.

You’ll be taken to a page where you can watch your sequence live.

💡 At this stage, you have the choice of modifying the waiting time before performing your next action, ranging from 1 to 365 days.

Then you can either leave the campaign as it is, or add further sequences.

For this example, we’ll leave it as is.

Next, you can add your prospects in several ways:

• 🔵 From a CSV file.
• 🔵 From a database.
• 🔵 From LinkedIn
• 🔵 From different CRM.
• 🔵 Generate leads automatically with over 10 filters (country, job, school name, skills…).

Here you can write the message you want. 👇🏼

💡 You can rename your message template, so that it’s automatically added to the message templates. No more writing the same thing! 👀

You’ve got an 8,000-character limit, so knock yourself out, but in moderation. 🍾

You can also add several elements to your text:

• *️⃣ Variables (first name, last name and company).
• 📸 Images.
• 🔗 Attachment.
• 🎥 Gifs.
• 🗣️ Voice notes (coming soon).

The little extra? You can preview your text on the same page. Handy for seeing if your variable works! 🤩

Finally, once you’ve validated your messages, you’ll be taken to a small summary of your campaign, so all you have to do is launch it. 🚀

3) Response management and commitment rate monitoring

Once you’ve launched your campaigns, it’s vital to your strategy to analyze the results!

That’s what we’re going to do right now. 👀

How do I use Waalaxy?

When you’re on the home page, you have direct access to your campaign statistics. 😇

Two filters are available:

• 1️⃣ Campaign dates.
• 2️⃣ Choose the campaign you wish to display.

What’s more, you have two boxes, one for LinkedIn (in blue, of course), and the other for Email (purple to comply with the graphic charter).

On each box, Waalaxy has decided to highlight two indicators, the number and the response rate. ✨

Then, you have the follow-up of your LinkedIn campaigns with 3 different boxes (according to the choice of your campaign :

• 1️⃣ Invitations accepted and acceptance rate.
• 2️⃣ Messages answered with response rate.
• 3️⃣ Details of actions sent in graph form (you can download this data in CSV format).

For your mailing campaigns, you have other indicators: 👇🏼

• Deliveries and deliverability rates.
• Responses and response rates.
• Undelivered and bounce rate.

💡 As an alternative, you can view the statistics for each of your campaigns in the “statistics” section.

If you’re a statistics buff, you’ll also find the “Staff” section of interest. 👀

Inside, you have an overview of your campaign with : ⬇️

• Prospect details by level.
• The name of each prospect with :
  • The stage.
  • State.
  • The prospect list.
  • Import type.
  • The tag.
• Filters according to import type, stage, status or tags.

What we like best about Waalaxy is its ease of use. You don’t need to be a statistics expert to decipher our campaigns, just a simple notion of certain KPIs and it’s done! 😇

Now you can see the results of your Waalaxy campaign. 🤫

What to do with Lemlist?

On Lemlist, go to “Reports” to access your campaign statistics!

At this point, you have two choices.

1️⃣ First, you’ll access an overview of your campaigns with different graphs and leads, where you can modify the widgets as you see fit.

On Lemlist, you can create a statistics page and customize it (this allows you to create a page for each campaign, for example).

Inside, you’ll find over 10 graphic templates to choose from, so you can select the one best suited to your needs.

💡 Creating your own page with your own graphics requires a minimum of knowledge. If you’re a beginner, you’ll quickly lose the plot.

2️⃣ For the second, you have a page “Analytics of campaign” where you can choose the campaign you wish to analyze.

Inside, you’ll find :

• The return on your prospecting investment.
• The status of your campaign.
• The percentage of prospects contacted, unsubscribed or who replied to you.
• Details of your campaign by level.
• Details of your sequence.

At first glance, this page can be complex and requires some understanding. 👀

Homepage statistics	✅	❌
Filters on the homepage	✅	✅
Multiple KPIs available	✅	✅
Customization of a page with chosen statistics	❌	✅

4) Integration and compatibility with other tools

How do I use Waalaxy?

You can link Waalaxy to the following CRMs: 👇🏼

• Hubspot.

But that’s not all: directly from your campaigns, you can integrate the following tools: 👇🏼

💡 Synchronization is fairly simple and intuitive, and we’ll show you how to use it in a dedicated article.

All you have to do is let yourself be tempted! 😇

What to do with Lemlist?

On Lemlist, here is the list of available CRM integrations:

💡When you click on “Connect”, you’ll be taken to the software in question, where you’ll need to enter your credentials.

5) Ease of use and user interface

Now we’re going to talk design and user interface, here we go! 💟

For Waalaxy

From the outset, we were charmed by Waalaxy’s clean, intuitive interface. The graphic charter is respected, the colors are coherent and harmonious, and we quickly understand where we want to go. 😇

For example, you can select the campaign you want to display, and you’ll immediately see the key performance indicators (response rate and number of responses).

One little detail we liked was the fact that the menu closes when you navigate through the pages, to leave more room! 👀

Next, it’s easy to see that Waalaxy puts a premium on visual consistency. 💟

For example, on one of our LinkedIn campaigns, we can see that there is a color scheme:

• 🩶 Gray: not connected.
• 🧡 Orange: waiting.
• 💙 Blue: connected.

💡 As you move your mouse over the elements, an explanatory window appears to guide you.

Waalaxy’s Email Finder works on a per-credit basis, and we found it handy to have details of our available credits directly available by clicking on our name, no need to dig through the settings.

Waalaxy’s big plus is simplicity. You don’t need a 5-year degree in prospecting to quickly create and analyze a campaign. 😅

For example, on a campaign, we have our response rate with a level scale from 0 to 3 with a small explanation, still in the atypical Waalaxy universe. 🛸

You feel guided and supported from start to finish, which is very pleasant. 😇

For Lemlist

The graphic charter is sober and uncluttered, with a mix of gray and light blue. 😇

The home page is well-organized and easy to understand. A small CTA to start a campaign would have been handy! 👀

The menu is organized in order of importance, and there’s a nice animation of the icons when you hover over them. It’s subtle, just the way we like it. 👍🏼

A small detail that annoyed us a little is the fact that some parts are grayed out, so you might think it’s the loading, but no, it’s just that there’s no information yet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A little bonus is the video icon, which displays a video explaining what the feature is for, enhancing the human touch. 😇

Overall, we appreciate the respect for typologies, the minimalist style and the respect for the graphic charter, which remains coherent. 🙂

Recap ⬇️.

7) User testimonials and market feedback

We couldn’t finish this tool comparison without getting feedback from users.

Let’s find out what they think right away. 👀

Waalaxy reviews

Waalaxy’s biggest strength, according to its users, is its intuitive, easy-to-use platform.

Sequences and templates are available directly on the tool, arranged by category from beginner to expert. 💪🏼

We also appreciate that the tool is available in 11 languages, enabling us to reach more customers around the world. 🌍

Waalaxy has created a world of its own, transporting us into their Galaxy. 🚀

However, some customers say that there is no mobile application (few prospecting tools currently offer this for practical reasons), or that the plugin is only available on Chrome.

Lemlist reviews

Overall, users find Lemlist has good message personalization and easy landings page management. 😇

Effective anti-spam filters and a customizable statistics page are a big plus.

We also appreciate the ease of integration with Dropcontact or Sales Navigator. 👀

Last but not least, the many e-mail templates available are very practical (provided you go to the website and then duplicate them on the tool).

However, many customers report that the set-up is complex and not at all intuitive.

Also, some say that mail opening results and conversions are unsatisfactory.

💡 Of course, the results are unique to each individual.

Lemlist is a good tool for experts, but its complexity makes it unsuitable for all profiles. 👀

Conclusion: Waalaxy VS Lemlist, which one to choose?

Waalaxy and Lemlist are two powerful email marketing and prospecting tools. The choice depends on your objectives and personal preferences.

Waalaxy stands out for its intuitive interface and ease of use, with a variety of features to automate quickly and easily on LinkedIn, in addition to email management options.
