One licence with phones included, or one pot of credits
Kaspr bills each user and gives each licence its own quotas by type. Lusha bills a plan by its number of credits, with licences included, and every action draws on the same pot.

Beyond LinkedIn: Lusha works on any site and in the CRM, and sends sequences
Kaspr’s extension is built for LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite, in Chrome only. Lusha’s runs in Chrome and Edge and also works on Salesforce, HubSpot, Gmail and B2B company websites. Lusha also has a database you can search by filters and an MCP server on every plan. Who gets its API depends on the page: the pricing table and the API documentation list it on every plan, with tight limits on Free and Starter, whereas another help-centre article says “Scale plan only”. Kaspr’s API is on request from Starter.
Lusha’s Engage sends email sequences from each user’s Gmail or Outlook, on every plan; Kaspr runs no email campaigns and exports to lemlist and Brevo. Neither automates LinkedIn invitations or messages.

Notice before renewal
Kaspr’s free row follows its pricing page; its help centre says work emails become unlimited once 3 colleagues have signed up. Kaspr’s notice periods come from its terms, and for yearly plans its help centre asks for at least 30 days instead of one month. One caveat on the Trustpilot row: the Kaspr listing was claimed not by Kaspr but by an account called “X company”, registered as a shipping company in New Delhi.
Emails: free to reveal at Kaspr, one credit at Lusha, and the export catch
Kaspr’s work emails cost nothing to reveal on paid plans, but each lead taken out of Kaspr spends an export credit. At Lusha, each email costs a credit and a CSV export costs 1 more per 25 rows. Below: emails found and exported as a file, one person, billed monthly; Lusha in dollars, Kaspr and Emelia in your currency.
1,000 emails, exported
5,000 emails, exported
Kaspr’s export quota per licence: up to 12,000 (Starter) or 30,000 (Business) a year says the pricing page, 1,000 or 2,500 a month on monthly plans says the help centre. Emelia’s column is a credit pack and nothing more: no plan is needed to buy credits, and no credit is spent on exports.
100, 200, 1,000 or 2,000 numbers a month: what each tool bills
Same need on all three, billed monthly: Kaspr’s cheapest plan and packs on its price list in your currency, Lusha’s cheapest step for 5 credits a number, and on Emelia’s side the smallest credit pack that covers 50 credits a number, bought without any plan.

All three columns are in dollars here: Lusha bills only in dollars, Kaspr is counted at its dollar prices ($65 for Starter, not €59) and Emelia’s figure is the same in euros. Numbers are called from Kaspr without export, with one monthly pack when the licence is not enough. For one person, Emelia wins at 100, 1,000 and 2,000 numbers; at 200 numbers, Kaspr and Emelia cost the same. With 2 people at 100 numbers each, Lusha costs less than Kaspr, because Pro includes 2 licences where Kaspr bills two; with 200 numbers each ($198 against $227.40) or 3 people ($195 against $232.30), Kaspr costs less again. On that 2-person line, Emelia, which bills no licence per person, costs less than both ($99).
Kaspr, Lusha and Emelia once you count licences
- Emelia: emails (1 credit) and phone numbers (50 credits, found across several providers and refunded when none is found) with credits that need no plan; at 100, 1,000 and 2,000 numbers a month they cost the least of the three, also from a LinkedIn profile with its Chrome extension. Its plans then send the campaign, by email and on LinkedIn, from $37 a month, not per user.
- Kaspr: 100 or 200 numbers included in each licence. At 100 and 200 numbers a month, it costs less than Lusha in dollars. Work emails are unlimited on paid plans, with an export credit for each lead taken out.
- Lusha: one pot of credits, 2 licences included on Pro, contacts outside LinkedIn and sequences from Gmail and Outlook. For 2 people with about 100 numbers each, it costs less than Kaspr; with more numbers or more people, the table note shows Kaspr ahead.
Kaspr and Lusha, side by side
No. Kaspr says it shares data with its parent company, Cognism, and lists LinkedIn, business directories and data partners as sources. Lusha draws on a community of users who share their email headers, affiliates and public sources. On brokers, Lusha contradicts itself: its FAQ says it buys no data from them, while the notice addressed to people in its database lists brokers it calls “trusted” among its sources.
For one person, Kaspr costs less than Lusha on every line of this page ($65 against $69.90 for 100 numbers). For 2 people with 100 numbers each, Lusha ($114.90 against $130 at Kaspr); with 200 numbers each, $198 at Kaspr against $227.40. Both bill monthly here; Lusha also sells yearly plans, Kaspr no longer shows them. Emelia, with no licence per person, costs the least of the three at 100, 1,000 and 2,000 numbers a month.
