Apollo vs Lemlist vs Outreach.io
If your cold emails are falling flat, it’s probably not your copy or offer.
The real problem?
You're targeting leads that have already been spammed to death.
In 2025, using saturated databases inside platforms like Lemlist and Outreach.io can kill your deliverability, open rates, and chances of ever getting a reply.
That’s where Scrapeamax changes the game.

How Scrapeamax Works with Lemlist or Outreach
The Final Verdict
Why Lead List Quality > Everything Else
Both Lemlist and Outreach are powerful tools. But they’re only as effective as the lead data you feed them.
And here’s the truth:
Everyone is blasting the same Apollo or Outreach contact databases. The result? Saturated prospects, lower trust, and poor replies.
Fixing this starts with your list.
With tools like Scrapeamax, you can extract fresh, untouched leads from platforms like:
Google My Business (local SMBs)
BuiltWith (tech-based filters)
Clutch (dev & agency firms)
Latka (SaaS by ARR/funding)
Store Leads (eCom by tech stack)
GoodFirms, Agency Vista & more
Then feed those company domains into Lemlist or Apollo to pull verified contacts that haven’t been bombarded 100 times already.
Lemlist vs. Outreach: A Lead List Perspective
Feature | Lemlist | Outreach.io |
---|---|---|
Built-in Database | ✅ 450M+ contacts (but saturated) | ❌ No built-in B2B database |
Domain-Based Targeting | ✅ Via CSV upload | ✅ With account creation |
Deliverability Warmup | ✅ Lemwarm built-in | ❌ Must use 3rd-party tool |
Personalization | ✅ Text + images + video + pages | ✅ Templates + custom fields |
Multichannel | ✅ Email, LinkedIn, Calls | ✅ Email, LinkedIn, Calls |
Pricing Transparency | ✅ Starts at $39/month | ❌ Sales call required |
While both tools let you upload external data, only Lemlist gives you full-stack outreach + warmup in one tool — perfect when paired with a custom lead list from Scrapeamax.
Why Scrapeamax + Lemlist or Apollo Is the Power Combo
Here’s the real hack:
Scrapeamax → Pull fresh company leads from underused sources
Upload company domains into Lemlist or Apollo
Let Apollo enrich the contacts (names, roles, emails)
Launch Lemlist campaigns with verified, non-spammed leads
Book 2–3x more meetings with better reply rates
✅ You’re not just scraping emails
✅ You’re feeding the best possible input into your outreach engine
✅ You avoid the typical blacklists that hit mass databases
Scrapeamax vs. Built-In Databases

Domain-Based Outreach | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Not default flow |

Final Verdict: Which Should You Use in 2025?
✅ Use Lemlist if you want native email warm-up, personalization, and multichannel outreach.
