The short answer

LinkedIn account warmup, in one look.

Warmerly ramps every kind of LinkedIn action on a fixed curve and runs warmup activity, though its own doc of 12 October 2026 says it had not run live in production, while lemlist has an Invite Ramp-Up setting for invitations only. lemlist has an Invite Ramp-Up setting: you choose a daily step and a cap, and it adds that many invitations each day until the cap. Other LinkedIn actions start at their full cap unless you lower them by hand. Warmerly ramps every kind of LinkedIn action on a fixed curve and runs warmup activity (posts, reactions, comments, views). Warmerly's LinkedIn warmup had not run live in production when its own doc was written on 12 October 2026, and we did not re-test it. Last checked 21 October 2026.

How Warmerly does it

Warmerly, in detail.

A fixed ramp for invitations and for every other action, plus real warmup activity on a schedule. A new connection starts with warmup paused, and a restriction pauses it again until someone switches it back on.

01

Invitations

A standard account sends 5 invitations a day on days 1 to 3, 6 on days 4 to 7, 8 on days 8 to 14 and 10 from day 15. Premium accounts have a ceiling of 20 a day and 100 a week.

02

A weekly ceiling as well

The weekly invitation ceiling is 50 for a standard account and 100 for Premium, ramped on the same curve. A standard account is therefore held to 25 a week on days 1 to 3, 30 on days 4 to 7, 40 on days 8 to 14 and 50 after that.

03

Everything else at 20, 35, 55, 75 and 100 per cent

Profile views, reactions, comments, messages and posts ramp over days 1 to 3, 4 to 7, 8 to 14, 15 to 21 and from day 22. At full ceiling the daily caps are 40 profile views, 20 reactions, 5 comments, 50 messages and 2 posts.

04

The clock is calendar age as well as warmup days

The day the ramp counts from is the larger of the warmup day count and the connection's calendar age. An account used for campaigns alone therefore still climbs the ramp. Before this was fixed an account with warmup paused sat on day 1 and its campaign sent no connection requests for the first days.

05

Real activity

Warmup plans an AI-written post, reactions and AI comments, and profile views, and it never invites someone who is a lead in a campaign. Activity is spread across an 08:00 to 20:00 local window. Posts start once the post cap is at least 1, which is from warmup day 8.

06

Topics decide what it does

Warmup searches up to 3 of the account's topics and industries, with 10 results each, for posts to react to and people to view. An account with no topics only posts. Generated text is dropped, not published, if it contains a link, an unfilled placeholder or a dash.

07

It pauses itself

A failure whose text looks like a restriction, checkpoint or rate limit sets the account's warmup to safety paused, with the reason. It stays paused until someone turns it back on. A new connection also starts paused.

Not seen live

Warmerly's own LinkedIn doc recorded on 12 October 2026 that no warmup job had yet run in production and that posting, reacting and commenting were read from the provider's docs, not exercised live. We did not re-test it.

Where Warmerly is behind

The curve is set by Warmerly. There is no custom start, step or length. You can only set lower caps.

How lemlist does it

lemlist, in detail.

Ramp-Up applies to invitations only, and you configure it. The help centre pairs it with published daily maximums, guidance on pending invitations and a recovery routine after a warning.

What lemlist does not say

We looked, and found no statement on these. That is about its published pages only, not about the product.

  • A starting value or default step for Ramp-Up, and any warmup activity such as posts or reactions.
  • How many days without invitations make Ramp-Up reset.
  • A published plan limit on LinkedIn actions, as opposed to the help centre's guidance.

Where the sources disagree

We report each version rather than pick one.

  • lemlist's connection-request article puts invitations at up to 20 a day and roughly 100 a week, and calls the weekly figure observed. Its Ramp-Up article gives the same 100 a week as its claim. Neither cites LinkedIn.
  • The Ramp-Up article's weekly arithmetic is not consistent: it treats 20 a day over five working days as 100 a week, but 30 a day as 210 a week, which assumes seven days.
The numbers

Only what we could verify.

In practice

What it means for you.

Our reading of the facts above. Not a promise, and not the only reasonable reading.

1

A new profile

Warmerly will start low for you and add activity. lemlist leaves the numbers to you and warns that only invitations ramp.

2

Trust

LinkedIn's rules and your account's health decide what is safe. Neither ramp is a guarantee.

3

Reading the lemlist example

A cap of 20 with a step of +2 is a ten day climb if it began at 2 (2, 4, 6 and so on to 20, which adds up to 110 invitations over those ten days). That is our arithmetic on an assumed start, because the article does not state one. At 20 a day, a five-day week gives the 100 the article quotes.

4

Reading the Warmerly curve

A standard account sends 5 + 5 + 5 = 15 invitations in its first three days, then 6 a day for four days (24), so 39 in the first week. It reaches 10 a day on day 15. A Premium account follows the same shape at double the numbers: 10 a day first, then 20 from day 15.

5

The gap between the two ceilings

lemlist's guidance puts a mature invitation rate at 20 a day, 100 a week. Warmerly holds a standard account to 10 a day and 50 a week, and only a Premium account to 20 and 100. A team moving a standard profile across will find Warmerly's ceiling half of what lemlist's help article describes. Check which kind of LinkedIn account you have before you compare.

6

A campaign on an account you already use

Both tools warn that invitations and messages sent by hand count against the same LinkedIn quota. lemlist's article says to reduce lemlist's limits if you also prospect manually. In Warmerly, lower the account's caps in the same way, since caps can only be tightened.

Who it suits

Pick the one that fits.

Warmerly

Warmerly is the better fit if

  • You want the ramp set for you, including profile activity.
  • You accept that the live behaviour has less track record than the code.
  • You would rather start with a low fixed ceiling than choose your own step.
lemlist

lemlist is the better fit if

  • You want to set the step and cap yourself.
  • You want guidance on recovery after a warning.
  • You want to withdraw stale pending invitations automatically.
Questions
Does lemlist warm up a LinkedIn account?

It has an Invite Ramp-Up setting for invitations only: you set a daily step and a cap. Other actions start at full cap unless you lower them. Warmerly ramps every action on a fixed curve and runs warmup activity, though its own doc says that activity had not yet run live in production on 12 October 2026.

Can I change Warmerly's LinkedIn ramp?

Not the curve. You can set lower daily caps for each kind of action, and the lower number wins. You cannot raise a cap above the ramp for the account's age.

What happens to Warmerly's warmup if LinkedIn restricts the account?

A failure that looks like a restriction, checkpoint or rate limit sets the warmup to safety paused with the reason shown. It stays paused until someone turns it back on.

What does lemlist advise after a LinkedIn warning?

Lower the daily invite limit and the Ramp-Up step, check the other limits, keep the pattern steady, and if LinkedIn shows a warning pause all LinkedIn steps for at least 48 hours, then restart very low.

Does Warmerly post or comment on LinkedIn for me?

Warmup plans AI-written posts, reactions and comments from warmup day 8 or later, using the topics set on the account. Generated text with a link, a placeholder or a dash is dropped. Its own doc says these actions had not been seen live in production on 12 October 2026.
