📧 Sales Comparison
Lemlist gives you the tool.
Orkelia gives you the result.
If you don't have a dedicated SDR to run Lemlist (templates, warmup, reply classification), you get a 1-2% open rate and zero real replies. Orkelia Sales is a managed service — we set it up, we optimize it, we deliver.

Verdict
In 1 paragraph.
Lemlist costs €59/user/month on the surface. To actually run it (templates, warmup, deliverability, reply classification), you need an SDR at €30-50K/year. The real cost of Lemlist = €35-55K/year to generate €1-2K/month of pipeline. Orkelia Sales = €5,964/year for the same result, run for you. The live Mynaparrot case runs 7 countries simultaneously with 0% leak on orkelia.com and a response time classified by Claude Haiku — impossible to reproduce in self-serve without deliverability expertise.
