Lusha pricing 2026: plans, the credit slider and what a phone number costs

Free, Starter, Pro, Premium and Scale, month by month

In US dollars, excluding taxes, for the whole account (not per licence). The yearly price is shown per month and paid upfront, 25% below the monthly one. Pro and Premium are sold on a slider: the price below is the first step.

Taxes come on top (Lusha charges VAT where the law requires it), and payment is by card. Lusha’s plan data calls Pro “Professional”. Lusha contradicts itself on the API: open to every plan in its pricing table and its API documentation (strictly limited on Free and Starter), reserved for Scale (“Scale plan only”) in another help-centre article.

Lusha pricing 2025 vs 2026: Starter added, phone numbers at half the credits, a smaller free plan

Lusha loads its prices with JavaScript, so archived copies of its pricing page do not always show them; the plans and credit costs do appear. What moved, from the Wayback Machine:

• Free plan credits: 50 a month (February 12, 2025), then 70 (from June 11, 2025), now 40 (seen on April 22, 2026).
• Phone numbers: 10 credits each → 5, between February 10, 2026 and April 22, 2026.
• Starter: added in the same window, below Pro, with one licence and 400 credits a month.
• Database: “285M+ business profiles” in November 2025, “515M+ verified contacts” today.
• Yearly discount: 25% today; 35% during a promotion seen on July 9, 2026. Monthly prices from before April 2026 could not be read in the archives.

Discounts: no public code, but annual-plan sales

Lusha does not hand out public promo codes. The lever is yearly billing (25% off, paid upfront), and Lusha runs sales on it: a “July 35% promotion” seen on July 9, 2026 and a “November Sale” for annual plans only, seen on November 22, 2025.

Its terms say a renewal is billed at the price in force then, without the promotional discount of the first term. The affiliate programme pays partners a commission but gives no discount to their audience.

The free plan: 40 credits a month, no card, no trial of paid plans

Lusha’s free plan is permanent: 40 credits a month (40 emails or 8 phone numbers), one licence, the extension, CRM integrations, email sequences and the API with strict limits. Credits do not roll over. Lusha calls it “a plan, not a trial”; we found no trial of the paid plans.

Sign-up needs a work email, and some new accounts are held by fraud checks. On Free only, the community programme adds 200 credits once and 150 a month if you connect your work mailbox and share its headers and signatures with Lusha’s database. Here Lusha does better than Emelia, which has no free plan, only a 7-day trial without a card.

1 credit per email, 5 per phone number, and everything else that spends credits

All the credits of an account sit in one balance, shared by every licence and every API key. Searching and filtering cost nothing; revealing does. A contact already revealed can be viewed again for free, but exporting it to a CSV file still costs credits.

How many Lusha credits each action uses

Lusha’s own pages disagree on a few points: its billing FAQ says credit costs “vary depending on your specific plan” while its price data uses the same costs on every plan; its FAQ says a lookup that finds nothing is free while its help centre charges one credit at least per API request; and the Data Waterfall is described either from Pro or on every paid plan.

From 400 to 10,000 credits a month: the per-credit price at each step

Pro and Premium are sold on a slider, in steps of 200 credits a month (2,400 a year). The price per credit falls slowly, from $0.125 on Starter to $0.098 at 10,000 credits a month, and from $0.094 to $0.079 on yearly billing.

Two things to know before moving the slider. Premium’s first step costs more per credit than Pro’s last ($399.90 for 3,400 credits against $362.40 for 3,200), but it comes with 3 more licences. And the yearly price gives the year’s credits at once, upfront; they are lost at the end of the term, even if you renew.

Extra licences, rollover and top-ups

Same credits, two bills: Lusha against Emelia for emails and phone numbers

Same need on both sides, billed monthly, one person: Lusha’s cheapest plan that gives the credits, against Emelia’s Start plan plus the monthly credit pack that covers it. An email costs 1 credit at both; a phone number 5 credits at Lusha, 50 at Emelia.

Credits that come with the plan

Included credits

Lusha400 to 10,000 every month (or the year’s at once)

Emelia500 to 5,000, once at signup

Lusha only invoices in US dollars and Emelia charges the same figure in either currency, so both columns are in dollars, with no conversion. In this table, Lusha is cheaper for 400 emails, 100 numbers and 200 numbers a month, Emelia for every other price line. Emelia’s Start plan also includes 3 sending mailboxes and 1 LinkedIn account, not counted here.

Cancelling or freezing a subscription

An admin cancels in the settings; the plan runs to the end of the paid term, then the account goes back to Free with its data, and the stored credits are reset. Exports cost credits, so export before cancelling. Notice before renewal: at least 14 days according to Lusha’s terms and FAQ, 24 hours according to its help centre.

Monthly plans can also be frozen for 1 or 2 months, 2 times a year at most, 3 months apart: no invoice, and the remaining credits stay usable. Lusha’s terms say all payments are non-refundable; its help centre says refund requests are reviewed case by case.
