Honest verdict
When each is the right call
No varnish. Lusha wins some scenarios; we win others. Here's how to tell which is yours.
Choose Contact Kit when…
- You need bulk lists (500–500K records), not one-at-a-time browser lookups
- Your campaigns require a single deliverable file, not credits-spent-per-record
- You want direct-dial phone numbers verified by line-type, not pattern-matched
- Your ICP is custom and goes beyond "this LinkedIn profile"
- Cost per 1,000 contacts matters — Lusha credits get expensive at scale
Choose Lusha when…
- You do occasional individual lookups while browsing LinkedIn (under 50/month)
- You want a free or near-free starter tier
- You are an individual rep, not a team
- You need data right now, not in 2–7 days
Pricing scenario
Worked dollar comparison
Lusha Pro at $39/user/mo with 480 credits/yr per seat. A team of 5 reps at scale = $195/mo + bulk credit packs ($199 per 1,000 = $199K for 1M lookups, in practice teams hit limits fast). Annual: $5K–10K depending on volume. Contact Kit at 4 lists/yr × 5K records each = 20K records for $10K–20K. Contact Kit wins decisively on cost-per-record at any meaningful campaign volume.
Migration
How to switch from Lusha
Lusha is largely a complementary tool, not a replacement source. Most teams keep it for live LinkedIn-prospecting and move bulk-list work to us. To migrate the bulk side: send us your most recent ICP and a small Lusha export so we can A/B against the same audience.
Customer who switched
{{ NEEDS_INPUT: customer-switched-lusha }} A 6-person sales team was burning Lusha credits at $1,200/mo and still buying supplemental lists from a third source. They consolidated all bulk list-building with ContactKit and kept a single Lusha seat for live lookups. Net annual spend dropped from ~$22K to ~$11K with same coverage. (Real customer name pending.)
