lemwarm: what it is, how it works & who it's for

Email warmup and deliverability tool from the makers of lemlist

Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

lemwarm is sold on its own and is also included in every lemlist plan.

What is lemwarm?

lemwarm is an email warmup and deliverability tool that builds a sender's reputation with inbox providers before and during cold email campaigns. It connects to your mailbox and automatically exchanges emails with a large network of real inboxes across many domains and countries. That steady, natural-looking activity gives providers like Gmail and Outlook a positive sending history, which helps your real outreach land in the inbox.

Made by lempire, the company behind lemlist, lemwarm can be bought on its own or used for free as part of any lemlist plan. Alongside warmup, it scores your deliverability, checks technical setup such as SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX records, sends alerts about spam risks and offers daily tips. Its higher plan adds personalized warmup emails, warmup of your actual templates and industry-specific networks.

lemwarm FAQ

Is lemwarm free?

lemwarm is not free as a standalone product. The Essential plan starts at $29 per month, with discounts for quarterly and yearly billing. However, lemwarm is included at no extra cost in every lemlist plan, so lemlist customers can use it without a separate subscription.

What is lemwarm used for?

lemwarm is used to warm up email inboxes before and during cold outreach. It sends and receives emails with a network of real mailboxes so providers see healthy activity, which helps your campaign emails reach the inbox. It also checks DNS setup and alerts you to spam risks.

Is lemwarm included with lemlist?

Yes. lemlist states that lemwarm and its built-in deliverability protections are included in all lemlist plans. Users who send campaigns through lemlist do not need to buy lemwarm separately. Senders who use a different outreach tool can still buy lemwarm on its own.

lemwarm vs Mailreach: what's the difference?

lemwarm and Mailreach are both email warmup tools that build sender reputation through automated email activity. lemwarm stands out for its tie-in with lemlist, its industry-specific networks and template warmup on the Smart plan. Mailreach is an independent warmup service. Pricing per mailbox and network quality are the main points to compare.

How long should I warm up an email with lemwarm?

lemwarm does not set one fixed period, since it lets you control the pace and keeps running in the background. Most senders keep warmup on for several weeks before sending cold campaigns from a new mailbox and leave it running afterward. Watch the deliverability score to judge when you are ready.
