Lusha alternatives: contact data tools compared on price per credit

By Keencrest · 2026-11-01

Prices checked 2026-11-01 on each vendor's own pricing page or Apify Store listing. Prices change; check the linked page before you buy. We have not tested the competitors' output quality, so this guide compares price, billing unit and limits only. We make the Data Gleaner Actors and the Keencrest lead packs, and say where they lose.

Demand check: about 140 US searches a month for "lusha alternatives", with a $71.59 suggested bid (DataForSEO Google Ads data, 2026-11-01). The bid is high, so the people searching are mostly buyers comparing paid tools, and this page is written for them.

What Lusha charges (lusha.com/pricing)

Prices below are the "pay yearly (25% off)" figures on the page; we did not record the monthly-billing prices.

Plan	Price	Credits	Effective per credit
Free	$0, 1 seat	40 a month	-
Starter	$37.45 a month, billed yearly	4,800 a year	$449.40 / 4,800 = about 9.4 cents
Pro	$52.45 a month, billed yearly	7,200 a year	$629.40 / 7,200 = about 8.7 cents
Premium	$299.95 a month, billed yearly	40,800 a year	$3,599.40 / 40,800 = about 8.8 cents
Scale	Custom	Custom	Page says 50%+ off per credit

Lusha sells verified emails and phone numbers for named people, with bulk enrichment from Starter and API from Pro. A phone number usually costs more credits than an email, but the page does not give the exact ratio.

Alternatives

Option	Price (source)	Pick it when	Catch
Apollo	Free plan (900 credits a year); Basic $49 per seat a month billed annually for 30,000 credits a seat a year; $65 billed monthly for 2,500 credits a month	You want far more credits per dollar and sequencing in the same product	Credits differ in what they buy; compare coverage in your market on the free plan first
Clay	Free 1,200 data credits a year; Launch $167 a month billed annually ($185 monthly) for 2,500 credits a month	You want to chain several data providers in one table	A workflow tool with a learning curve, not a list
Data Gleaner Website Contact Details Scraper (ours)	$0.002 per website where an email is found, nothing otherwise (Apify listing)	You already have company domains and need the addresses the companies publish	No named people, no job titles, no verification, no phones for large firms; 56 users on its listing
Keencrest lead packs (ours)	$19 for 250 leads, $49 for 1,000, $99 for 2,500; free 25-lead sample	You want a finished CSV of local businesses for a trade and city	Ordered by email, paid by PayPal invoice; local businesses only, not a people database

When Lusha is still the right pick

You need a direct phone or a verified email for a specific named person, and you want a browser extension to get it from where you are browsing.
You buy a few hundred contacts a month. The 40 free credits let you test coverage for your region before paying.

It is the wrong tool if you want addresses for thousands of small businesses: at roughly 9 cents a credit that gets dear, while a company's own contact page costs a fraction of a cent to read. Related: Apollo alternatives for small teams, Clay alternatives.

Everything here compares published prices and stated limits. We have not tested any of these tools' data quality, so we say nothing about whose contacts are more accurate; test a sample of your own contacts on the free tier before paying anyone.

Try it: Website Contact Details Scraper on Apify. $0.002 per site with an email, nothing for sites without one. The Apify free plan includes monthly credit, so a test run costs nothing out of pocket.
