The short answer
Shared inbox, in one look.
Both have one inbox for replies. lemlist's is richer: snooze, favourites, tasks, owner filters, and replies by email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or SMS, but it shows only conversations that started in lemlist. Warmerly's default view is Needs reply, across email and LinkedIn, with labels and a suggested reply. It has no snooze, star or notes. Last checked 21 October 2026.

How Warmerly does it
Warmerly, in detail.
A Needs reply queue across email and LinkedIn, with labels and suggested replies. It syncs every connected mailbox, so mail that did not start in a campaign shows too.
01
Needs reply by default
The default view is conversations where the newest message is theirs and is a lead or unlabelled. Other views are All and Archived.

02
Email and LinkedIn together
LinkedIn replies land in the same inbox. Mail is labelled lead, not relevant or spam, and your own override sticks.

03
A suggested reply
Warmerly can draft a reply under 120 words for you to edit and send. The draft is written only for a lead in one of your campaigns. Mail the model files as a lead from anyone else still shows under Lead but gets no draft.

04
Everything the mailbox receives
Every email a connected mailbox receives shows in the inbox. The one exclusion is warmup network traffic. Bounce senders, no-reply addresses and LinkedIn notifications show in All, filed as not relevant, which keeps them out of Needs reply.

05
How mail is sorted
Free rules handle spam folders, robot senders, auto replies and bulk headers without a model call. A campaign lead's reply is graded by a model. Other new mail, received within 3 days of the sync, is graded too. Older mail stays unclassified and still appears in All.

06
Sync every 5 minutes
A sweep reads each connected mailbox's INBOX and Sent folders every 5 minutes, up to 50 new messages per mailbox per run, oldest first, and a manual Refresh is available. A mailbox is paused after 3 failed logins and the owner is asked to reconnect.

07
Replying from the inbox
A message composed in Warmerly's inbox is sent over the mailbox's own SMTP and stored as outbound. Mail Warmerly sends for campaigns is not written to the mailbox's Sent folder, so it does not appear in other mail clients.

Where Warmerly is behind
The inbox has no snooze, star or notes, no tags on a conversation and no scheduled reply.

How lemlist does it
lemlist, in detail.
A unified inbox for conversations that began in lemlist, with lists, owner filters, tasks and a choice of channel when you reply.
01
What it shows
A help article says the inbox shows only conversations that were initially started in lemlist. Alongside messages it shows campaign events such as a step sent, opened, accepted or replied to, plus tasks and status updates for the contact.

02
Lists and filters
Conversation lists include Unread, Favorites, Snoozed, Archived, Sent only and Untracked, with filters and an owner filter. A filter can narrow by contact, company, campaign or other criteria that the article does not list.

03
Channels
The reply composer lets you choose email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or SMS.

04
Tasks and lead status
A tasks icon in a conversation shows that contact's outstanding and completed tasks. A status dropdown in the conversation view shows the lead's stage, with Contacted as the example, and the contact card can mark a lead interested or not interested.

05
The contact card
Clicking a contact's name opens a panel with contact information, activities, campaigns and tasks. Its Campaigns tab shows where the contact appears and lets you manage follow up, and the article's introduction says you can move a contact into another campaign from there.

Which plan gets which channel

What lemlist does not say
We looked, and found no statement on these. That is about its published pages only, not about the product.
- Labels in the inbox article, and plan requirements for each channel.
- How to snooze or unsnooze: the Snoozed list is named but the steps are not given.
- Bulk actions, templates, notes, and any way to assign a conversation beyond the owner filter.
- What Sent only and Untracked mean.
- How often the inbox syncs, and any limit on volume.

In practice
What it means for you.
Our reading of the facts above. Not a promise, and not the only reasonable reading.
Replies from outside lemlist
lemlist's inbox only shows threads it started. Warmerly syncs the connected mailbox every five minutes.
Team handling
lemlist's tasks and owner filter suit a team that triages together. Warmerly's queue suits one person working a list.
Clearing a backlog on a new connection
Warmerly reads up to 50 new messages per mailbox per run, every 5 minutes, oldest first. A mailbox with 2,000 old messages therefore takes 40 runs, about 3 hours 20 minutes, to catch up at best. That assumes every sweep reaches the mailbox, and a slow provider can cost it a turn. Mail older than 3 days is not graded by the model, so a backlog does not run up classification work.
Three people, LinkedIn on
To have LinkedIn replies in one inbox for 3 senders, lemlist needs Multichannel at $109 each, $327 a month at list price. On Warmerly the Growth plan is $49 and the LinkedIn add-on is $19 per account, 3 accounts being $57, so $106. The lemlist price also includes SMS, a dialer and its data tools, and the sum is a monthly list price, not a quote.
A reply from a client you did not email first
Someone writes to a connected mailbox out of the blue. In Warmerly it shows in the inbox, is graded if it arrived in the last 3 days, and can sit in Needs reply. lemlist's article says its inbox shows only conversations first started in lemlist, so that thread would live in your own mail client.
What you lose by choosing Warmerly's inbox
No snooze, no favourites, no notes and no tasks on a conversation. If your day is built on follow up reminders, lemlist's tasks and Snoozed list matter more than a suggested reply. If you only need to see who replied and answer quickly, they matter less.
