Your lemlist campaigns, next to your CRM.

Short answer: Alori is a lemlist alternative for small software companies and agencies that want cold email in the same app as their CRM, deals, calls and invoices. Paste your lemlist API key and your contacts, companies, lists and campaigns come over in one import, with each lead at the step it reached. Every plan has unlimited users.

Why teams leave lemlist

lemlist is a strong multichannel prospecting tool, with email, LinkedIn and calls in one sequence. Small teams leave it for the bill and the split:

• At $109 per user a month on Multichannel, a team of 5 pays $545 a month before add-ons.
• lemlist finds and writes to leads, but the pipeline, quotes and invoices sit in another CRM.
• Sorting interested answers from out-of-office and "not now" takes someone's time every morning.

What you pay

lemlist, as listed on its pricing page in November 2026:

For cold email alone, lemlist's Email plan costs less than Alori. Alori pays off when it also replaces your CRM, phones and invoicing. See Alori's pricing.

What Alori replaces

• One import from lemlist brings contacts and companies into the CRM, contact and company lists into Targets, and each campaign as a sequence: emails, A/B versions, leads where they stand (replied, bounced, unsubscribed, still going) and lemlist's numbers under Results. LinkedIn and call steps become to-dos. Import again and only what's new comes over.
• In Cold emails › Inboxes, click Get an inbox: Alori buys new domains close to yours and Google inboxes on them, with two weeks of warm-up, billed each month in credits. Or connect your own Google or Microsoft 365 inboxes by signing in, or any other inbox with its password.
• Each new inbox starts at 5 emails a day and adds 3 a day, up to 30. Emails go out 2 to 6 minutes apart on weekdays, in each lead's working hours. Alori checks each domain's SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX every day, says in plain words what to fix, and pauses an inbox by itself when too many emails bounce.
• Tell Zoe, Alori's marketing specialist, who you want to reach and what you offer. She plans a 4-step sequence and writes it from what Alori knows about your business, with a first line for each lead from a web search about their company. Up to 12 steps: emails in one thread, plus call or LinkedIn to-dos that land in your tasks.
• A/B tests with up to 3 versions of each email. Alori names a winner once each version has sent 50 emails and one clearly gets more replies, and Zoe writes the next one to test.
• Cold emails › Replies gathers the answers from every inbox, one row per person. Zoe sorts them (interested, not now, wrong person, out of office) and drafts your answer with your booking link. Send it from the same inbox, in the same thread, or let Zoe answer interested people herself.
• A lead stops when they reply, when someone at their company replies, when they unsubscribe or bounce, or when they become an active deal. An out-of-office reply waits 3 days, then tries again.
• Every email ends with your postal address and a "reply no" line, and carries an unsubscribe header. "No", "stop" or "unsubscribe" puts the person on your do-not-email list, and no sequence writes to them again. Block whole company domains in one step.
• Upload a CSV or Excel file, paste a Google Sheet link, type or paste emails, pick a Targets list, or find people with Apollo by job title, place and company size, on your own Apollo account. Give Alori a list of company websites and it finds the right people at each one.
• Each email sent lands in the customer's history. Press Add to deals on an interested reply and they go on your pipeline, next to their calls, meetings, quotes and invoices.
• "Who replied interested this week?", "Pause the agencies sequence", "Block northpixel.io": ask Sam in the CRM, your bot, or Claude through Alori.

What Alori doesn't do yet

• Real LinkedIn and multichannel steps: lemlist sends LinkedIn messages, texts and calls from the sequence, with a 650M+ lead database. If LinkedIn automation drives your pipeline, stay on lemlist.
• Alori has no lead database of its own. Finding people uses your own Apollo account and its credits, on a paid Apollo plan.
• Emails are plain text only, with no open tracking. Click tracking needs your website on its own domain.
• Sending stops at 30 emails a day per inbox and 50 inboxes per app, which suits steady sending.
• Inboxes you bring get no warm-up network: Alori ramps them up slowly, and warm-up comes only with the inboxes you get in Alori. There are no inbox placement tests either, since Alori sees bounces and replies but can't see spam folders.
• Alori sends no cold email to Europe or the UK. Leads in Canada need the page where their email is published, as Canada's anti-spam law asks.
• Cold emails is in early access. It isn't offered when you sign up yet; importing from lemlist turns it on for you.

How to switch

1. Start free. Describe your business. Alori builds your app with customers, deals and the modules you pick.
2. Import from lemlist. In Import data, pick lemlist and paste your API key (in lemlist: Settings › Integrations › API). Your contacts, companies, lists and campaigns come over, with each lead at its step and lemlist's numbers on each sequence. Cold emails turns on by itself.
3. Connect your inboxes. In Cold emails › Inboxes, sign in with Google or Microsoft 365, or click Add with a password and turn on "These inboxes are already warmed up". Or click Get an inbox for new ones.
4. Start sending. Pause your campaigns in lemlist, pick the inboxes on each sequence and press Start sending. Leads lemlist was writing to carry on at their next step.
