## What lemlist is and what Zevari is

What lemlist is

lemlist is cloud outbound software built around email sequences, with LinkedIn available as steps inside the same campaign builder. You build the list, write the copy and set the schedule, and the campaign sends on that schedule.

What Zevari is

Your AI SDR (AI sales development representative) team for LinkedIn and email: six specialists, Prospecting, Signals, ICP Scoring, Voice Writer, Follow-up and Reply Qualifier, take a prospect from first signal to a qualified conversation, and sends wait for your approval by default.

Which one fits

## When lemlist is the better call, and when Zevari is

### Choose lemlist if

- Your motion is email-first and LinkedIn is a supporting step.
- You want a campaign builder you click through yourself and already have lists and copy.
- You do not need anything to find, score or write for you.

### Choose Zevari if

- LinkedIn is your main channel and email is the follow-up, not the other way round.
- You want prospects found by signal and scored against your ideal customer, with reasons.
- You want each message drafted in your voice and replies sorted into qualified conversations.
- You want to run outbound from Claude, ChatGPT or Codex over a hosted MCP connector.

Approval and limits

## What stays the same whichever way you run Zevari

Run it from the Zevari app or from your AI over MCP: the same approvals and the same limits apply. No tool can promise LinkedIn will never restrict an account; what we can publish is the mechanism.

[Read how the safety model works](https://zevari.ai/safety)

- By default a human approves every send: messages, connection requests, comments and posts wait in a queue until you approve them. A specialist sends on its own only after you move it to autopilot once it has earned it, such as Follow-up after ten approved sends in 30 days, and you can switch it back at any time.
- A hosted connector. No browser extension to install and no cookie injected into a headless browser.
- Connection requests are capped at 150 a week on Free* and Premium LinkedIn accounts and 200 on Sales Navigator.
- * Free accounts: LinkedIn caps connection requests that carry a note at 5 a month. The weekly ceiling covers requests sent without a note, and Premium and Sales Navigator accounts get a far larger allowance for requests with a note. Most outreach uses a note, so Premium or Sales Navigator is the practical choice for real outbound - the full explanation is on /safety.
- All actions are capped at 400 a day on Free, 1,000 on Premium and 2,000 on Sales Navigator, with burst limits and working hours on top.
- Email, when you add a mailbox: 300 a day and 1,500 a week per mailbox.
- When a limit is reached the action waits for the window to reset. It is not skipped, retried in a burst, or routed around.

FAQ

## lemlist vs Zevari: common questions

### Is there a lemlist MCP for Claude?

We do not make claims about lemlist's integrations or roadmap; check lemlist's own documentation. If what you want is to run LinkedIn and email outbound from Claude, Zevari provides a hosted LinkedIn MCP for Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT and any MCP client, and sends still wait for your approval by default.

### Is Zevari a lemlist alternative?

It depends on your channel. If email sequences are the core of your outbound, lemlist is built for that. If LinkedIn is where your buyers answer, Zevari is your AI SDR team for LinkedIn and email: it finds and scores prospects, writes in your voice, follows up by email when you add a mailbox and qualifies replies, with your approval before sends by default.

### Does Zevari replace lemlist's email sequences?

It can for LinkedIn-led outbound: email runs as steps in the same sequence, 300 a day and 1,500 a week per mailbox, under the same approvals. If you run high-volume email-only campaigns, keeping an email-first tool for that is reasonable.

### Will Zevari get my LinkedIn account restricted?

No tool can promise that. Zevari publishes the mechanism: approval before sends by default, a hosted connector with no browser extension or cookie injection, 150 connection requests a week on Free* and Premium accounts and 200 on Sales Navigator, daily action caps, working hours and burst limits. When a limit is reached, the action waits. The weekly figure covers connection requests sent without a note: LinkedIn caps requests that carry a note at 5 a month on a free account, and gives Premium and Sales Navigator a far larger allowance, so Premium or Sales Navigator is the practical choice for real outbound (see /safety).

### How much does Zevari cost?

One plan: $87 a month, or $497 a year (save 52%). All six specialists and one LinkedIn account are included; another account is $37 a month.
