lemwarm is the warmup tool from lemlist. It costs $29 or $49 a month per email address, and it comes with every lemlist plan. If all you need is a warmed-up mailbox, it does that job well.

Warmy starts at $49 a month per mailbox and does more than warmup. The same platform runs inbox placement tests by provider, monitors DMARC, verifies your list, and engages with your real campaigns through a 500K+ US seed list. In short, lemwarm helps you warm up a mailbox. Warmy helps you warm up, test, monitor, and fix what’s hurting your deliverability.

Why choose Warmy over lemwarm

Warmup is where deliverability starts, not where it ends. Most email deliverability tools stop once the mailbox looks healthy. The questions that cost you pipeline come later: are your campaigns landing, and if not, why? Here’s where Warmy makes a practical difference.

See where your emails land, not just a warmup score

lemwarm grades your warmup with a Warmup Score. Warmy runs placement tests that show where an email lands at each provider: inbox, Promotions, or spam.

What this means for you: if replies drop, you can check inbox placement using your campaign email and sending mailbox instead of guessing based on a score.

Engagement on your real campaigns

Warmy’s warmup network has over 1 million mailboxes from major providers worldwide. On top of that, its seed list adds more than 500,000 American seed mailboxes that open your actual campaign emails and move them out of spam. The list rotates automatically every month.

What this means for you: new mailboxes build history in the background, and the campaigns you actually send get positive signals too.

Works with whatever you send from

Warmy connects Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and SMTP mailboxes, regardless of which tool sends your email: lemlist, another cold email platform, or an ESP like Klaviyo or Mailchimp.

What this means for you: you can switch sending tools or use several without rebuilding your deliverability setup each time.

A real person on your side, any hour

Every Warmy plan, including Starter, comes with an onboarding manager, a dedicated CSM, and 24/7 human support. You also get Warmy’s Deliverability Academy to build your own skills. With lemwarm, priority support is available on the Custom plan for teams of more than 10 users.

What this means for you: someone who knows deliverability is there when a campaign goes sideways, even if it’s Saturday.

Warmup Score vs inbox placement tests

A warmup score and a placement test answer different questions. The score tells you how healthy your warmup looks. A placement test tells you where a real email lands. You need both, but only one of them shows you the inbox.

lemwarm’s Warmup Score is built from four factors: DNS setup (40 points), warmup spam rate (30), blacklists (20), and domain age (10). lemlist is upfront about its limits: the score “does not predict whether your campaign emails will land in the inbox.” That’s why searches for a lemwarm deliverability test usually lead to lemlist’s Deliverability Hub, where placement tests cost 100 credits each and lemlist suggests running one or two a month.

Warmy inbox placement test results by email provider

With Warmy, placement tests are part of the platform. Send a test from your regular sending mailbox using the same email you send to recipients, and check the results for each provider. Schedule repeat tests to keep your baseline current, so you can spot a drop before your next big send.

How to read these prices

Both tools charge per mailbox, so the fair comparison is what one mailbox gets you. lemwarm pricing starts lower: $29 a month for warmup on Essential, or nothing extra if you already pay for lemlist. Warmy starts at $49 a month for one mailbox, with 100 warmup emails a day, an onboarding manager, a dedicated CSM, and 24/7 support. Higher Warmy plans add warmup volume, credits, warmup topics, and language selection.

So if you only need a warmed-up mailbox, lemwarm is the cheaper option. If you also need to see where campaigns land and fix what’s wrong, compare the full setup, not just the warmup line.

What is lemwarm?

lemwarm is an email warmup tool made by lemlist. It sends and receives warmup emails across a network of 20,000+ healthy domains and grades progress with a Warmup Score. On its own, it costs $29 or $49 a month per email address. As lemlist warmup, it’s included in every lemlist plan, which is why many people search for it as lemlist lemwarm.

Warmy logo

What is Warmy?

Warmy is an AI-driven email deliverability platform. It warms up mailboxes on a network of over 1 million mailboxes, engages with real campaigns through a 500K+ US seed list, and adds inbox placement tests, DMARC monitoring, email verification, and API access. Warmy works with any sending tool and starts at $49 per mailbox per month.

How lemwarm and Warmy warm up a mailbox

Both tools build sender history the same basic way: they send a gradually growing number of emails from your mailbox and create positive engagement with them. The differences are in how much control you get and what happens to your real campaigns.

How does lemwarm work?

For lemwarm email warmup, you connect a mailbox in the lemwarm app and set two numbers: a daily warmup limit and a ramp-up increment. lemlist recommends about 30 to 40 warmup emails a day per mailbox and says a mailbox is usually fully warmed up within three to five weeks.

The Smart plan goes further. You answer a short questionnaire, and lemwarm places you in an industry cluster and writes personalized warmup emails, including emails based on your real templates. That’s a genuine strength, especially for lemlist users whose campaigns already live in the same tool.

Email warmup process

Warmy is an email warmup tool that works through your existing provider and uses a network of over a million mailboxes from major providers worldwide. It sends during working hours in the recipient’s time zone, ramps up gradually, and slows down at night and on weekends, the way a real person would.

Warmy opens messages, replies to them, marks them as important, and rescues them from spam. Daily volume runs from 100 to 5,000 warmup emails depending on the plan. You can use your own templates, choose warmup topics from the Premium plan, and pick from 30+ warmup languages from the Business plan. Auto-archive keeps warmup messages out of your inbox.

Using seed lists

The email seed list is where Warmy works on your real campaigns. More than 500,000 American seed mailboxes engage with your emails by opening them and moving them out of spam, so your deliverability keeps improving. The list rotates automatically every month.

lemwarm doesn’t offer a seed list. Its warmup traffic, even on the Smart plan, is separate from the campaigns you send to prospects.

Authentication and measuring results

Authentication and sender reputation

Start with authentication. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are the core protocols in Google’s sender requirements, and lemwarm treats them as the biggest part of its Warmup Score. Its DNS check flags MX, SPF, and DMARC problems so you know what to fix.

Warmy goes from checking to monitoring. DMARC monitoring shows who is sending emails from your domain, which messages fail, and the exact record to change. Domain and IP reputation is tracked continuously, with alerts when a blacklist or reputation signal drops, and Google Postmaster data sits next to your warmup results. Need a record right now? The free SPF generator and DMARC generator build one in minutes.

Measuring results

Keep the template and provider mix consistent between tests. If most of your recipients use Microsoft 365, watch those results before raising volume, even when the overall score looks healthy.

Already on lemlist? When warmup alone isn’t enough

If you use lemlist, lemwarm is already part of your plan, so the fair question is: why add anything? Usually, because of a moment like this one.

Your campaign is running. Reply rates have dropped over the past two weeks, but your Warmup Score still looks fine. Here’s how to work out what’s going on.

  1. Remember what the score measures. It grades your warmup and DNS setup. It doesn’t tell you where your campaign emails land.

  2. Test the real email from the real sender. Run a placement test with the content you’re actually sending, from the mailbox that’s actually sending it.

  3. Read the results by provider. If your emails land in spam only for Microsoft 365 recipients, look at that provider first. If every provider shows spam or Promotions, look at reputation, authentication, and content together.

  4. Fix the cause, then retest. Check DMARC and blacklists, clean the template, ease off volume, and rebuild engagement on the campaign itself.

Warmy covers each of those steps on one platform: placement tests by provider, DMARC monitoring, the Template Checker, and a seed list that engages with the campaign you’re trying to rescue. You keep lemlist for sending. Warmy connects to the same mailboxes.

Switching from lemwarm to Warmy

If you’re looking at lemwarm alternatives because you need testing, monitoring, or support around your warmup, switching is straightforward:

Add Warmy Alongside lemwarm

  • Check where your campaign emails land. Run placement tests from your sending mailbox and compare results by provider.

  • Add engagement to your real campaigns. Use Warmy’s 500K+ US seed list alongside your regular sends.

  • Keep lemlist for sending. Warmy connects to the same mailboxes. If you add Warmy’s warmup, pause lemwarm on those mailboxes first.

Switch to Warmy

  1. Take a baseline. Run a placement test before you change anything, so you can compare later.

  2. Connect your mailboxes. Add them to Warmy via OAuth or SMTP/IMAP. It takes a few minutes per mailbox.

  3. Stop lemwarm on those mailboxes. Don’t run two warmup tools on the same mailbox at the same time.

  4. Watch placement as you scale. Track results by provider and monitor your DMARC reports as volume grows.
