Considered Both Products
LeadIQ
Chose LeadIQ
They're all pretty comparable. The only major differences would be the data pool. Apollo seems to have a more up to date and more data pool. Everything else is pretty similar.
Chose LeadIQ
I think that LeadIQ is overall better. I think so because i can use LeadIQ for more things than zoominfo. For example, the scribe feature and importing leads directly from sales navigation. That, I think, is one of the best features. Tho, i feel like zoominfo sometimes had more …
Chose LeadIQ
None of these products are great in relation to accurate data. SignalHire was surprisingly better but only just. Lusha is grossly overpriced and ZoomInfo are purely out to make as much off unsuspecting customers as they can - originally pitched $15000 and when we refused the …
Chose LeadIQ
ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Lusha Extension
Chose LeadIQ
Have not evaluated other tools similar to LeadIQ outside of the standard Salesforce lead object and Outlook
Plugin.
Chose LeadIQ
LeadIQ has more accurate contact information that is real and up to date. ZoomInfo's extension is very buggy and sometimes requires me to restart my extension and browser Better customer service with LeadIQ.
Chose LeadIQ
The user experience and design of the platform + the data health were far superior to uplead and the other tools I demoed. I was also impressed by the pricing structure and the ability for me to pick and choose my plan or customize based on the sales team numbers and team …
Chose LeadIQ
SellHack and LeadIQ are very similar products, with some subtle differences. As mentioned, our team no longer uses LeadIQ, but rather a combination of SellHack and ZoomInfo. I will say that LeadIQ is a "hybrid" of these two tools, but I would still take ZoomInfo over LeadIQ …
Chose LeadIQ
LeadIQ is great because it's a really lightweight and easy-to-use solution. It's fast and has a good amount of contact information.

ZoomInfo is more robust, which means it has more information--both contact info and other relevant info like news, revenue info, etc. Having said …
Chose LeadIQ
I have also used ZoomInfo. ZoomInfo is a great tool. I wish it had the quick workflow that LeadIQ naturally has. There is no easy way to import a list into your sales enablement platform with ZoomInfo. However, the data that ZoomInfo has is often very accurate and is well …
Chose LeadIQ
I have not used other similar products.
Chose LeadIQ
LeadIQ gives you the best bang for your buck and ROI.
Chose LeadIQ
I prefer LeadIQ because of the way it interacts with LinkedIn. That is really great. However, the accuracy of the data falls short of ZoomInfo. Our team uses both, consistently, and between the two we have a sound arsenal at our fingertips to reach out and contact the people …
Chose LeadIQ
We use Winmo and it is great but LeadIQ allows us to supplement those lists. It is especially useful if someone has recently changed jobs to be able to target them before they are added to the larger databases. It's more of a 1:1 prospecting tool as opposed to a mass list.
Chose LeadIQ
The other solutions are too expensive and their data isn't as accurate. Also, the tool isn't as easy to use in comparison to LeadIQ.
Chose LeadIQ
When it comes to data accuracy, LeadIQ has an upper hand. Also, the user interface is more user-friendly. They have a pop-up bar on the side of the screen instead of having to go to another page to use it. Also, it integrates with Gmail pretty well.
Chose LeadIQ
LeadIQ is much more feature-rich than alternatives. The fact that you can capture to existing accounts as contacts are huge and saves a great deal of time. The Chrome Extension is much less intrusive than Lead411's. I still use Lead411 pretty regularly though. I find myself …
Chose LeadIQ
Hunter's interface and even the download is difficult to navigate, so I never used it when given the opportunity.
Chose LeadIQ
Choosing a data provider is likely quite different in every industry. Where some excel, I'm sure others fall short. I have found that the quality of the data is great and the interface to collect it is foolproof. The integrations to systems like SalesForce and SalesLoft are …
Chose LeadIQ
They do very similar things. I would say that whichever tool you are using, you are going to be getting a very similar user experience. The integrations with other platforms is similar in some sense. LeadIQ is a more cost-effective option than ZoomInfo. Sometimes ZoomInfo …
Chose LeadIQ
There are companies that specialize in many things in this vertical, but I feel like the quality of data that we have experienced with LeadIQ is on par, if not better, than the other companies that we looked at. Our reps don't get bogged down with a lot of metadata as well, …
Lusha
Chose Lusha
Lusha gives me qualified data. The searching is easy and better than Apollo. The UI is better than Lusha. The costing and credits are also better than Apollo's.
Chose Lusha
Lusha is better at credits management and providing the credits as compared to Apollo. This gives an edge to the small teams when it comes to getting the much-needed data at the start stage. Apollo has credits clubbed together, and usage of credits is much higher than that of …
Chose Lusha
ZoomInfo Sales, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and SignalHire
Chose Lusha
It's cost-effective and easy to use, with many more genuine leads and fewer junk leads.
Chose Lusha
It is better and cost effective compared to Zoominfo which had many junk data and for one tenth of its price Lusha performs much better
Chose Lusha
Most of the above tools can give you accurate email addresses, but mobile number data is either incorrect or unavailable. But Lusha solves this problem by giving us both email ID and mobile number data accurately at the same place, thus eliminating the need to switch platforms …
Chose Lusha
We use Lusha alongside Apollo. Lusha was chosen as our supplementary data source, as it is super intuitive to use, meaning there was no little to no onboarding time which meant no lost productivity to the business. Stacking up against RocketReach, Lusha has much more data …
Chose Lusha
I have chosen Lusha especially because it helps to get better contact information.
Chose Lusha
They are all good platforms for different regions but they do not come close to Lusha when it comes to Middle east data.
Chose Lusha
Lusha contacts details are always valid for every regions be it asia, africa, us or uk that's not the case with every other tool available in the market. tools available in the market either have relevant data for two or three continents not for all and if you are reaching out …
Chose Lusha
The data provided by this tool is unique and not repeated the data is fresh the number and email id are always valid like 98% valid which compared to the rest of the tool available in market Lusha as a high value number hardly you'll get a bounce back or mail which went unread …
Chose Lusha
The data provided by these tools and nice but I bang on Lusha because that's where I get my closure if I don't get any contact number from Lusha like it's not available or dnd sort of things then I reach out to these tools otherwise, my first go to tool in Lusha.
Chose Lusha
Lusha Scores high on 1. Prospecting and search capabilities 2. Ease of use - the Plugin is the Best feature 3. Data Quality is better.
Chose Lusha
Before adopting Lusha, we also tried using Wiza. They almost have the same capability in terms of integration with Linkedin and CRM. The deal breaker is the data accuracy that Lusha can give over Wiza. Lusha has a broader range in database which made is a stronger fit for our …
Chose Lusha
After trying many options Lusha seems the most accurate and cheapest option on the market.
Chose Lusha
The accuracy of data. Ease of use. Decent engagement/email marketing function. It's also easier to use for the young crowd.
Chose Lusha
It is cost-effective and has free tokens every month.
Chose Lusha
Cost is one of the major factors along with similar functions is why we chose Lusha over the other. Despite being a similar tool, the price factor is what made us choose Lusha over all the other tools that we evaluated. Despite not having sales reps contact us, we were able to …
Chose Lusha
I have a ist usage habbit of using Lusha but I also use other tools since if Lusha misses then I am good to have a way to get to my target prospect via other tools . I am very happy with Lusha's performance and would recommend this tool to all.

  1. Outbound Demand Generation: Self Sourcing leads for prospecting can be a challenge for any outbound team. It was even for us, and when we were doing it manually through LinkedIn and finding emails through email hunter extension. The task was cumbersome and time-taking, and painful. Having something like LeadIQ was magical for the Outbound team when it came to self-sourcing our own contacts and accounts, from our TAM.
  2. TAT for Prospecting decreases: Since sourcing of leads and accounts becomes much more efficient. Reps spend more time on the ground and phone and less time on the CRM. This was again a challenge for us in the past, but we have capitalized on LeadIQ and made our "spending time on the ground" metric much better.

I leverage Lusha daily to powerfully qualify and enrich my leads in multiple ways: from supercharging data extracted from CSV files to seamlessly populating phone numbers and email addresses directly from LinkedIn.However, the HubSpot CRM integration truly needs simplification. While I frequently use the standard sequences, I strongly believe they could be dramatically improved by combining email, InMail, and even audio messages. And finally, the conversations module, currently in beta, shows immense promise!

Pros
  • Once set up, it's super easy. Just click a button and capture the lead.
  • Love that you can capture as a contact instead of a lead and that it will attach to an existing account in Salesforce based on a fuzzy match with Company Name.
  • Love that you can capture data from a lead search list in Sales Navigator, not just from the person's profile page. So you can capture multiple people at a time.
  • I really like that I can see all the related objects that a given contact might have in SFDC. Lead and/or contact records (even with a company mismatch if it's an old record), accounts, and opportunities.

  • Identify prospect from Linkedin/Sales Navigator pages
  • Show email ID and phone numbers of the prospect
  • Reflect the correct/complete name of the prospect
  • Suggest contacts from similar profiles
  • Copy/edit option available for better user friendliness
  • It shows relevant information of the prospect's company as well

Cons
  • Rocky start to using it - but good follow up with customer service.
  • It can create duplicates in salesforce sometimes which is a headache for some departments who require salesforce to be our pure data source.
  • Sometimes the numbers aren't correct for the right individual - it gets numbers from wrong people with the same name - this has only happened a couple of times, very rare.
Read full review
  • 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.

We have been very happy with LeadIQ for the past several years. They have quality data at a fair price and that is the most important thing for us. Their product continues to grow and expand and they are great to work with from a customer experience point of view.

Usability
the data pool of contacts and lead info could be better compared to the other software competitors. The software is still quite easy to use and it has an extension which makes it easy to work side by side with either linkedin or salesforce. One item that doesn't work well which the rep showed us was pulling up the account page on salesforce and LeadIQ being able to pull up the company details based on the domain. That isn't working for us. Perhaps it's the industry we're in.

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.

I have yet to contact LeadIQ regarding support for the tool. Usability is pretty straight forward, and I was trained well to use the tool properly. I am giving the rating of a five since I can not say I have had contact with the support team.

It is actually pretty easy. If you already worked with Google Chrome's extensions, you're not going to have any problem. It's actually plug & play – you just need to setup your account, install the extension and start prospecting. Lusha gives you an assistant on the browser that easily allows you to crawl information of any LinkedIn profile you're visiting.

We use Lusha alongside Apollo. Lusha was chosen as our supplementary data source, as it is super intuitive to use, meaning there was no little to no onboarding time which meant no lost productivity to the business. Stacking up against RocketReach, Lusha has much more data availability, and this is also the case for Apollo, whilst Apollo's database might be larger, it often misses contacts that Lusha has, and Lusha has more verified mobile numbers which is super important. In comparison to ZoomInfo is has a much lower price point.

Return on Investment
  • Return on investment has been positive in terms of filling the sales pipeline with prospecting data
  • It is not a good long term strategy to rely on the tool for prospecting and we need to have more intent driven outreaches
  • The platform can get pricey

  • 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.
