Choose lemlist if you want to start outbound at $69/month, protect email deliverability as you scale across mailboxes, and add LinkedIn, calls, WhatsApp, and SMS per seat only when you need them. Choose Buzz if you run an agency or sales team that wants LinkedIn-led outreach plus a built-in dialer bundled into one seat, and per-seat pricing at $125/seat/month (currently $75 intro for the first three months) fits your budget.

Both tools cover multichannel outbound, but they solve for different buyers. lemlist is an AI Outbound Platform built around a 650M+ lead database and deliverability tooling on every seat. Buzz is an all-in-one sales engagement platform built around social selling and calling in a single console. The decision usually comes down to two questions: how much of your outbound is email at scale, and how many reps need LinkedIn plus dialing on day one. This page compares pricing, channels, database depth, and support so you can pick with confidence (sources: lemlist pricing page; buzz.ai).

lemlist is an AI Outbound Platform that brings lead generation, enrichment, intent signals, multichannel sequences, and deliverability into one workflow. You find prospects that match your ICP, enrich them with verified emails and phone numbers, then run campaigns across email, LinkedIn, calls, WhatsApp, and SMS from a single place. The platform is aimed at teams that want to cover their total addressable market without stitching together a data tool, a sending tool, and a warm-up tool separately (source: lemlist.com).

The Email plan starts at $69/month for 50,000 emails with unlimited users, with roughly 20% off on annual billing. Multichannel is $109/user/month ($87/user/month billed yearly) and adds LinkedIn, calls, WhatsApp, and SMS. Enterprise is custom, billed annually, with a five-seat minimum. A 14-day free trial needs no credit card (source: lemlist pricing page).

Outbound teams, including SDRs, sales leaders, RevOps, and founders, who need email deliverability at scale and want the option to layer in multichannel without paying an agency-tier minimum.

The Multichannel plan is priced per seat, so LinkedIn and calling costs grow with team size, and enrichment credits are pay-per-use. Teams that want every rep on multichannel should model per-seat cost before committing, since a large team on the $109/user/month tier can pass Buzz’s flat entry price.

Buzz is an all-in-one sales engagement platform out of Toronto that helps agencies and sales teams identify, enrich, and engage prospects across channels. Its focus is LinkedIn-led social selling combined with email and a built-in dialer, managed from one unified inbox. The pitch is consolidation: run social touches, calls, and email follow-ups from a single console instead of switching between a social automation tool and a separate dialer (source: buzz.ai).

Buzz is priced per seat. The Core plan is $125/seat/month, currently offered at an introductory $75/seat/month for the first three months. A higher AI Employee tier adds more automation, and Enterprise is custom with white-label, SSO, unlimited credits and calling, and a five-seat minimum. Cost climbs with each seat you add, and rises again once the intro period ends, so a full team pays more than the $75 headline suggests (sources: buzz.ai/pricing; salesrobot.co/blogs/buzz-ai-alternatives, May 2026).

Agencies and small-to-mid sales teams that want LinkedIn-led multichannel outreach and a dialer in one platform, and are comfortable with $125/seat/month pricing (currently $75 intro for three months) that grows with each rep.

Users report a high entry price, setup complexity, slow support, and LinkedIn automation risk when volume runs high (source: salesrobot.co, May 2026). Smaller teams may pay for seats and credits they do not fully use, and heavy LinkedIn automation can bump against the platform’s action limits. Buzz still earns a 4.7/5 on G2 across 159 reviews, so the tradeoffs land differently depending on your channel mix.

Winner: lemlist. Its $69/month Email plan covers unlimited users, while Buzz is $125/seat/month after the introductory period, so lemlist wins clearly on ongoing cost, especially as you add reps.

Winner: lemlist. Deliverability Hub and lemwarm ship on every seat to monitor domain health and warm up sending, which matters most when you send across many mailboxes.

Winner: Buzz. It bundles LinkedIn automation, a dialer, and voicemail drops into one seat, while lemlist puts calling and LinkedIn on its per-seat Multichannel plan.

Winner: lemlist. Its 650M+ lead database is nearly double Buzz’s 350M+ verified contacts, giving you a wider top of funnel from inside the platform.

Winner: lemlist. Buzz users report setup complexity and slow support, while lemlist guides setup in-app with chat support during the free trial.

Choose lemlist if you want to start at $69/month, keep email landing in inboxes as you scale, tap a 650M+ lead database, and add LinkedIn or calling per seat only when the team needs it. It fits SDRs, sales leaders, RevOps, and founders who want deliverability depth without an agency-tier minimum.

Choose Buzz if you run an agency or sales team that leads with LinkedIn and cold calling, want a dialer and social automation bundled per seat, and per-seat pricing at $125/seat/month (currently $75 intro for the first three months) works for your budget.

For most email-led outbound teams, lemlist wins on entry price, database depth, deliverability, and setup. Buzz makes more sense when social and calling are your primary channels from day one and every rep needs them bundled. Match the tool to where your pipeline actually comes from, then start where the cost matches your team size.
