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.
