What Lavender is

Lavender is an email coach for sales teams. You write in Gmail or Outlook as usual, and it scores the draft against patterns that get replies — length, reading level, personalisation, question count — then suggests specific edits rather than generic advice. It pulls context from a CRM and from public sources to suggest a first line, and it can rewrite a paragraph on request. Team features show which writing patterns perform across a sales organisation, which is the part managers pay for. The limits are scope and relevance: it coaches email, not sequences or calls, the scoring model reflects one set of heuristics rather than your buyers, and the suggestions grow repetitive once a rep has internalised them. Suggested openings draw on a prospect profile rather than a template, which is why the first line reads specific instead of generic. Drafts can be compared with higher-scoring examples from your own team.

Best for

  • Sales reps writing cold and follow-up email daily
  • Teams standardising outreach without a script
  • Managers comparing writing patterns across reps

Not ideal for

  • Marketing email at scale, which belongs in a sending platform
  • Inbound support replies

Pros

  • Feedback is specific rather than generic encouragement
  • Sits inside the client reps already use
  • Team analytics show which patterns get replies

Cons

  • Coaches email only, not calls or sequences
  • Scoring reflects heuristics, not your actual buyers
  • Free tier caps scored emails

Pricing in detail

The free plan allows a limited number of scored emails per month for one user. Paid plans are billed per seat per month and raise the limit, add CRM enrichment, team analytics and admin; annual billing lowers the monthly rate. Because the limit is scored emails, a rep sending fifty messages a day needs a paid plan almost immediately, so the free tier is for evaluation rather than ongoing use.
