Lusha

B2B contact data platform with a Chrome extension for LinkedIn

What it does

Lusha is a B2B contact-enrichment and prospecting database. Chrome extension for one-click enrichment on LinkedIn, company sites, or Salesforce records: emails, direct-dial phones, and firmographics. Bulk list building, buyer-intent signals, technographics, and CRM sync. Positioned as the "cleaner-data" alternative in the Apollo/ZoomInfo/Seamless space, with a stronger reputation for phone-number accuracy than most competitors. GDPR-registered data controller, which matters for EU-facing B2B.

Integrates with

Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Pipedrive, LinkedIn

Who this fits

  • B2B sales teams doing outbound prospecting into named accounts
  • SDRs who value direct-dial phone numbers over email volume
  • Recruiters sourcing candidates via LinkedIn
  • Founders doing self-prospecting into ICP accounts
  • EU-facing B2B teams needing GDPR-conscious data

Who it does NOT fit

  • Non-B2B (consumer, ecommerce, local services)
  • Marketing-led inbound teams (data quality matters more for outbound)
  • Enterprise data-quality needs at scale (ZoomInfo still edges here)
  • Users who need deep firmographics and org charts (Cognism, ZoomInfo)
  • Teams that need intent data as the primary buy driver (6sense, Bombora)

Pricing

- Free: 5 credits/mo per user - Pro: ~$49/user/mo, 480 credits/year (40/mo), CRM enrichment - Premium: ~$79/user/mo, 960 credits/year (80/mo), advanced filtering - Scale: quote, custom credit pools, API access, dedicated success Credits: 1 credit per email unlock, 1 per phone unlock. Model expected volume before committing. Higher tiers include API access.

Real gotchas

  • Phone-number accuracy is Lusha's differentiator but still not 100%. Test in your niche
  • Credit accounting is per-record. Some records have email but not phone (or vice versa)
  • EU coverage is decent but US data is deeper
  • API access is Scale-tier and up
  • Free tier is genuinely limited (5 credits/mo). Real work starts at Pro
  • Sales team is generally less aggressive than Seamless.AI but auto-renewal terms still matter
  • CRM sync is functional but complex custom mappings sometimes need Zapier

Integrations that matter

Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, Outreach, Salesloft, Gong, LinkedIn (Chrome extension), Gmail, Outlook, Zapier, Slack, native REST API on higher tiers.

Otto’s take on this tool

Recommend Lusha when: user is a B2B sales/SDR team, recruiter, or founder doing outbound prospecting; pain_point is "we need direct-dial phone numbers, not just emails" or "our current data provider's phone hit rate is bad"; and the ICP is B2B professionals with LinkedIn presence. Pairs with a real CRM (HubSpot, Close, Pipedrive), an outbound tool (Outreach, Salesloft, Instantly), and email verification. Do NOT recommend for non-B2B, enterprise data-quality needs (ZoomInfo), or marketing-led inbound. Direct competitor to Apollo, ZoomInfo, Seamless.AI, and Cognism; Lusha's advantage is phone-number quality and GDPR posture.
