ZoomInfo and Cognism: contracts and quotes instead of a price list
Both sell phone-verified or intent data through a sales process. ZoomInfo claims 500M+ contacts and 100M+ companies, bills on contracts of 1 to 3 years and publishes no subscription price; the Lusha vs ZoomInfo page compares what can be compared.
Cognism, based in London, sells on quote too, with 5 licences included on both its plans. Its argument is phone-verified mobile numbers (“Diamond Data”) and coverage of Europe; one credit reveals a whole contact. It also owns Kaspr, bought in 2022. Neither publishes a price, so there is no price line against Lusha on this page.

No built-in database; 20 free credits at sign-up with a work email, and a 7-day free trial without a card. Same price in euros and dollars.

Best for: Phone-verified mobile numbers in EuropeCognism sells the same kind of data as Lusha, emails and mobile numbers, but on quote only, with 5 licences included and one credit revealing a whole contact.

Free Lusha alternatives, and what “free” includes
- Emelia: 20 free credits at sign-up with a work email (20 emails found), and a 7-day free trial without a card.
- Lusha Free: 40 credits a month (8 phone numbers), one licence, no card.
- Apollo.io Free: 75 credits a month, 2 sequences per team, 250 emails a day.
- ZoomInfo Lite: 10 credits a month according to ZoomInfo’s blog; its terms ask for access to the mailbox you connect.
- Clay Free: 100 data credits and 500 actions a month, no phone numbers.
- Cognism: no free plan, only a data sample.
Apollo: more credits on the free plan, a licence per user
Apollo is the closest to Lusha: a contact database, a browser extension, credits to reveal emails and numbers. Its free plan gives 75 credits a month against Lusha’s 40, and its paid plans include far more credits (2,500 per licence on Basic at $65). A phone number costs 8 credits there, 5 at Lusha.
The difference is the unit: at Apollo, each person needs a licence, and the team’s credit pot grows with every licence; at Lusha, the balance is set by the plan and shared, with 2 licences included on Pro. Apollo’s sequences also connect mailboxes per licence (unlimited Google and Microsoft mailboxes on Professional), where Lusha’s Engage uses the user’s own Gmail or Outlook. The Lusha vs Apollo page prices both for the same volume.
Clay: Lusha as one of many enrichment providers
Clay is first a table that queries other providers in a row (a “waterfall”), 150+ of them, on top of its own base of 900M people. Lusha is one of those providers, but enriching a contact with Lusha in Clay requires your own Lusha account; only its signals and lookalikes run on Clay credits. You pay Clay in actions and data credits, from $185 a month on Launch (2,500 data credits), with unlimited seats.
Clay is built for teams that combine several sources on each contact and have someone to build the tables. On a LinkedIn profile, a browser extension is quicker: Emelia’s finds the email and the number and adds the person to a campaign, Lusha’s reveals them from its base.
Kaspr: the LinkedIn phone finder
Kaspr, a Paris company owned by Cognism since 2022, does what Lusha’s extension does, but only on LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite. Its billing is the opposite of Lusha’s: one licence per person, with 100 phone numbers a month on Starter ($65) or 200 on Business ($99), unlimited work emails on paid plans, and an export credit for every lead you take out of it. It also has a euro price list, which Lusha does not.
For 200 numbers a month, Kaspr costs $99 on its dollar list, Lusha $114.90 (Pro). Split the same volume between 2 people and the order flips: Kaspr bills 2 licences ($130), Lusha $114.90, since Pro includes 2 licences. Kaspr runs no email campaigns; Lusha’s Engage sends from each user’s mailbox. The full comparison: Kaspr vs Lusha.
Emelia: find the contact, then email and LinkedIn from the same plan
Emelia starts where Lusha stops. You bring the leads (unlimited scraping of LinkedIn searches, Sales Navigator and CSV files on every plan), Emelia finds and verifies the emails at 1 credit each and the phone numbers at 50 credits per number found (refunded when none is found), and the same plan sends the campaign: cold email from 3, 50 or unlimited mailboxes with warm-up, and LinkedIn invitations and messages from 1 to 10 accounts.
Campaigns are billed per plan ($37, $97 or $297 a month), not per user. The credits that find emails and numbers are a separate monthly subscription, from $19 for 1,000, and need no plan at all; every price shows the same figure in euros and in dollars. Emelia has no database to search: the leads come from your LinkedIn and Sales Navigator searches or your files, and on a LinkedIn profile its Chrome extension finds the email and the number.
Two questions before switching from Lusha
Lusha’s extension reads LinkedIn profiles but automates nothing. Lusha’s pages do not even agree on who gets its API: every plan for the pricing table and the API docs, with strict limits on Free and Starter, only Scale for one help-centre article (“Scale plan only”). Apollo puts LinkedIn steps in its sequences as manual tasks. Emelia sends LinkedIn invitations and messages itself, from 1 account on Start to 10 on Scale, alongside cold email, with an email and phone number finder (its Chrome extension also finds both on a LinkedIn profile and adds the person to a campaign); it has no database, so the leads come from LinkedIn, Sales Navigator or your files.
Emelia shows the same figure in euros and in dollars: credits alone from $19 a month, campaigns from $37 ($30.83 billed yearly). Kaspr has a euro price list too (Starter at €59 per licence); Lusha, Apollo and Clay bill in US dollars only, and ZoomInfo and Cognism publish no price.
