Honest comparisons. Where each tool is best, where BIGM is structurally better, and the cases where you should pick someone else.
Pick Lemlist if: Cold email is your main channel, your team is 1-10 people, and you want one bill covering email + warm-up + tracking. Lemlist's per-prospect tokens are best-in-class.

Pick BIGM if: You have a data source already, your LinkedIn channel is the leverage point, and you want a tool that's built specifically for the LinkedIn restriction-resistance + reply-rate optimization problem rather than one platform that does ten things average.
