What each one is actually built around
Lemlist’s engineering effort has gone into email: deliverability, warm-up through lemwarm, sending domain management, spintax, dynamic images and landing pages. That’s a hard problem and they’ve solved a lot of it.
Prospectio’s has gone into LinkedIn: qualifying prospects against an ICP before sending, cloning voice and video so messages sound like a person, keeping accounts safe on residential IPs, and running reply conversations to a booked meeting.
Both products have the other channel. Neither is the reason to buy it.

Choose Lemlist if
Your sequence starts with an email. You send at volume and deliverability is a live problem. You want calling tasks in the same tool. You have someone who enjoys optimising subject lines.
Choose Prospectio if
LinkedIn is where your buyers actually respond. Your reply rate is the constraint. You want the tool to decide who not to message. You need replies answered while you’re in meetings.
Running both
It’s a reasonable setup: Lemlist owns email nurture and high-volume cold email, Prospectio owns LinkedIn and the human-voice touches. Both write to HubSpot or Salesforce, so the contact history stays in one place. The thing to avoid is both tools messaging the same person in the same week, so keep the lists separate or suppress across them.
