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 this week

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.
