To Have a Single Team or Multiple Teams: That Is the Question!

Exploring the Pros and Cons of Opting for a Single Team or Multiple Teams in Your Workflow

Updated over a week ago

Hey lemlister! πŸ‘‹

Not sure whether you should create one team or several?
Wondering what the difference is and when each setup makes sense?
Let’s break it down β€” with clear examples to help you decide!


🧩 What Is a Team?

A team is automatically created the moment you sign up for lemlist.
It can include just one user or multiple users working together.

Here’s an example of a single team that includes several users πŸ‘‡
​


βš–οΈ Option 1: Two Separate Teams

You can create multiple teams, each with its own users, data, and billing.

Best for:

  • 🏒 Agencies managing separate client accounts.

  • πŸ‘©β€πŸ’Ό Operations managers separating teams (e.g., Sales vs. Marketing).

  • πŸ’³ Companies needing different plans for different users (e.g., one on Email Pro, another on Multichannel Expert).

What happens with this setup:

  • πŸ’° Separate billing β†’ each team receives its own invoice.

  • πŸ” Separate data β†’ each team has unique campaigns, leads, and settings.

    • No shared lead lists for duplicates or unsubscribes.

    • No cross-team campaign access.

This setup offers full separation between accounts.


🀝 Option 2: One Single Team (Multiple users in the same team)

Alternatively, you can have one team that includes multiple users β€” perfect for companies that want to collaborate closely.

Best for:

  • πŸ’Ό A single company or department working together on the same campaigns.

What happens with this setup:

  • 🌍 You can use different domains (e.g., [email protected] and [email protected]) - all within one team.

  • πŸ” You can share leads for duplicates and unsubscribes.

  • πŸ‘₯ You can view and manage teammates’ campaigns if needed.

  • 🧾 You’ll receive just one consolidated invoice.

This setup makes collaboration seamless while keeping everything under one shared workspace.
