Lusha is a sales intelligence platform designed to help businesses get their next customers. The platform provides access to a compliant global database of companies and decision-makers, powered by insights from over 1.5 million users.
The quality of data Lusha provided is better than that of RocketReach and we had a cost effective deal from Lusha's team as well. Our team found the user interface of Lusha way better than that of RocketReach. Also, the integration that Lusha provided was not seamlessly …
I selected Lusha Extension after reading a lot of reviews and comparing other similar tools. Lusha Extension stood out because it seemed like a viable and best option because of the quality of information that the software provides.
Looking to create lists of target companies through the advanced search feature or the query builder if one is planning to reach out to the individuals listed in the profile. Looking for investment and company history information to inform sourcing or competitive landscape research.
I find that Lusha is well suited as a secondary data source. It doesn't seem to have a developed enough database to be your primary data enrichment tool, so if a sales team was looking to only utilise one data tool, I wouldn't suggest Lusha as that first. However when being used in a supplementary fashion it is perfectly suited, I often find it has some niche contact details that I haven't been able to find elsewhere. The AI tools for searching and list building are well developed too, it is also great for teams to use on a bit-part basis as they often free credits per month as a starting point.
Crunchbase has an easy-to-navigate user interface. The bar at the top of the screen that shows the different data points available on companies is particularly helpful for quick navigating.
The ability to make and import lists and save searches is helpful for customizing the software to your particular needs.
The web and mobile app data that Crunchbase offers is very helpful to gauge trends and interest in companies for diligence purposes.
It would be nice to have a general idea of how many contacts it has information for on a particular account at the very start before scrolling through the different pages.
It would be great to also have the titles of individuals on the list, so it's quicker to sift who to keep in or exclude prior to revealing details.
No product is perfect! Some of the information generated can be inaccurate or generic, e.g., a phone number for a persona may not be direct for that individual but could be a general customer service number for the company and could be the same number listed for multiple prospects.
In our experience, the customer service is horrible to non existent. If we were a fortune 100 company with a staff of computer people I am sure this would be a valuable service as they would "speak the language" but that is not us. Not being able to reach customer service when we are thinking about upgrading is, in my opinion, a crazy business model.
Simple, clean efficient. No lags and gets us the exact data that we need. No unnecessary terminologies, and it works like a charm every time. From prospecting to lead generation, and intent searching, Lusha is our go to tool and it has stayed ever since we started using it. i would highly recommend.
They give standard answers. They are not a customer first business. I tried to cancel my subscription after using it for only 1 week as we found the information was outdated and not at all useful. But they would not cancel the year long subscription I mistakenly signed up for
Lusha is intuitive and highly accurate, streamlining the process of tracking and extracting multiple leads simultaneously. This significantly boosts efficiency and ensures a quick adoption. It's a massive time-saver and remarkably easy to pick up. Lusha's prospecting feature empowers users to deep-dive into specific industries or niches and extract data in a structured manner, thereby increasing outreach frequency and conversion rates.
Crunchbase is definitely bottom of the barrel in this space. At similar pricing models, all competitors I have tried have significantly bigger and more updated databases. Crunchbase may have been great sometime in the past, but they are not worth engaging now.
I used a lot of tools, but Lusha is the most accurate and precise data. Other may have a better user experience inside the platform, but it doesn't really matter if the data generated doesn't convert into sales. Lusha also provides phone numbers, which is fantastic, and most of the tools delivers only emails adresses.
Crunchbase has been great and given us a lot of new companies to go after that have received funding and turned into great meetings. We do not pay a ton, so the ROI is great.
We have nothing but positive results using Crunchbase and rely on it heavily for prospecting.
It might add more value if we get a more expensive or advanced version.
More time Selling, Less Time Searching: B2B selling today is all about how fast you can reach your prospects. Searching for contact information was daunting and painful a few years back. With 1-click imports, integrations and hunts: tools like Lusha are a massive benefit in terms of saving time in the ever laborious task of List Building.
Better Phone Numbers: Especially in regions like EU and APAC, where mobile numbers are not available with tools like ZoomInfo and Apollo, Lusha comes as a saviour.
