Three reasons it's different
INR pricing, not forex surprises
Every Indian founder who's paid for Lemlist knows the monthly forex fee problem. Banyan bills in INR, accepts UPI, and includes GST. What you see is what you pay.
Broad across channels, or deep on one
Lemlist is a multichannel platform: email, LinkedIn, calls, WhatsApp and SMS in one workflow, with email as its centre of gravity. Banyan does one channel properly. Campaigns, the unified inbox, the CRM and the AI Copilot all assume LinkedIn is where the relationship lives, so the account safety, the pacing and the reply handling are built for it rather than bolted on. If you want every channel in one subscription, Lemlist is the better buy.
AI that writes like you, not like a template
Lemlist has variables ({firstName}, {company}). Banyan reads the prospect's profile and recent posts and drafts a personalised message in your trained voice. Not a fill-in-the-blank, an actual conversation starter.
