Seleqt vs Emelia
{first name} isn’t personalization. Their funding round is.
Emelia is an affordable all-in-one prospecting tool with AI icebreakers and AI reply labels. Seleqt starts each message from a reason to reach out now: hiring, funding, leadership changes, or news. AI qualifies the lead first, then writes to that trigger.

You want an affordable email-first tool with strong reply handling and scraping.
Start is €37 a month (€31 annually) with three mailboxes, one LinkedIn account, and 500 credits. Grow is €97 with 50 mailboxes and three LinkedIn accounts.

Start from a trigger.
Emelia’s AI writes icebreakers from your lead data and custom prompts on each row. Seleqt starts from a reason to reach out now. It surfaces hiring, funding, leadership changes, news, and LinkedIn activity for each company, and the first line is written to that trigger, not to a first name.

Qualify before you write.
Emelia’s AI does a lot after sending: it labels replies as they arrive, and Magic Reply drafts answers. Seleqt puts AI at the step before writing. Each lead is qualified against your ICP, with the reasoning and sources recorded, so outreach goes to companies that fit and the message can say why.

- Replies land in one inbox
Two LinkedIn accounts, if you like.
