Best Free Cold Email Tool for Teams: No Per-User Fees
Stop paying $99+ per user per month. Run unlimited email sequences and replies for your entire team on a flat-rate plan. Built on open-source, hosted in the EU, owned by you.
Why Teams Switch from Lemlist to Linki
Pricing as of June 2026. Lemlist charged per user; Linki plans are all-inclusive.
Why Linki Wins for Teams
The core difference is simple: you pay for hosting, not for people.
Flat rate, no per-user fees
One Medium plan ($40/month) covers your entire team, no matter how many people join. Every sales rep, every agency client campaign, every founder side project runs on one account. Compare that to Lemlist or Apollo, where adding your fifth team member costs another $99 or $49.
Everything included in every plan
Unlimited email sequences, unlimited daily sends, reply tracking, A/B testing, email warmup engine, multi-mailbox support. No feature gatekeeping. Small plan gets the same tools as Large; you just get more apps hosting space.
Your data stays yours
EU-hosted on German servers. GDPR compliant. Export everything as JSON or CSV whenever you want. No vendor lock-in. This matters if your team or customers are in Europe, or you just want the peace of mind that your cold email data is not a US SaaS company's product.
