Implementation Rating

Lusha itself is very easy to set up. It's a cloud-based platform, so there's no software to download or install. Creating an account and getting started with the free plan takes just a few minutes.
However, the learning curve depends on how you plan to use it. For basic searches, it's very straightforward. But if you want to leverage advanced features or integrations with your CRM, there might be a bit more involved depending on your specific system.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Lusha as a supplementary data provider to support our outbound prospecting efforts. We had struggled with getting reliable contact data for prospects, and Lusha provided a second source of contact data to fill in the gaps.

Mapping to CRM accounts could be tricky
Web extension can sometimes get in the way

Data Accuracy

Lusha excels at finding contact information for C-suite executives, especially at companies where contact info is hard to find. This has been instrumental in connecting with key decision-makers who can champion our product within their organizations. Our sales territory spans the globe, and Lusha's extensive database has proven valuable for identifying prospects in international markets. It saves us tons of time compared to manually scouring local directories and websites.

Alternatives Considered

ZoomInfo Sales

ZoomInfo appears to have a slightly larger dataset, offering more contacts and deeper intel on companies. It's great for enterprise-level prospecting with complex needs. However, the price tag was significantly larger, and the interface felt clunky compared to Lusha. Lusha is more user-friendly and affordable. We thought it was perfect for our team's size and budget. While the data pool isn't quite as vast as ZoomInfo's, it still delivers the essentials – quality contact information, especially for C-levels and hard-to-find niches. Lusha integrates seamlessly with our CRM, saving us valuable time compared to ZoomInfo's potentially complex setup.
Ultimately, for our targeted prospecting with a focus on phone outreach and niche markets, Lusha's agility and affordability proved to be the winning combination.
