Switch from Lusha to Cleanlist
12x more credits per dollar. Verified data, not just lookups.
TL;DR
Lusha charges $49/month for just 40 credits ($1.23 per lookup) with no real-time email verification. Cleanlist starts at $29/month for 500 credits ($0.06 per lookup) with waterfall enrichment and real-time verification included. That is 12x more credits per dollar and verified data instead of unverified lookups.
Why Teams Leave Lusha
The frustrations that drive the switch.
Expensive Per-Credit Pricing
Lusha's Pro plan costs $49/month for 40 credits — $1.23 per lookup. A team running 500 enrichments per month would need $612/month in Lusha credits. The same volume costs $29/month on Cleanlist.
No Real-Time Verification
Lusha returns email and phone data without real-time verification. You get a contact's email, but you do not know if it will bounce until you send. Cleanlist verifies every email before returning it.
Limited Enrichment Depth
Lusha provides emails and phone numbers but limited firmographic data. Company revenue, tech stack, funding history, and employee count often come back blank. You still need another tool for company-level data.
Single Source Database
Lusha relies on one proprietary database. When it does not have a contact, you get no result. There is no fallback to alternative sources — you use a credit and get nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Cleanlist so much cheaper than Lusha?
+
Different business model. Lusha charges premium per-credit prices on individual lookups from a single database. Cleanlist uses credit-based plans with volume pricing and waterfall architecture that amortizes data costs across multiple providers. Higher volume efficiency and lower per-lookup margins make the math work.
Does Cleanlist have a Chrome extension like Lusha?
+
Cleanlist focuses on batch enrichment via CSV upload and API integration rather than individual Chrome extension lookups. If you enrich contacts one at a time from LinkedIn, the workflow is different — you would export a list of LinkedIn URLs and batch-process them through Cleanlist. For teams doing any volume, batch processing is significantly more efficient.
Is Cleanlist's phone data as good as Lusha's?
+
Cleanlist queries 15+ data providers for phone numbers via waterfall enrichment, achieving 85%+ phone coverage. Lusha's phone data comes from one source. In head-to-head comparisons on the same contact lists, Cleanlist typically finds more phone numbers because multiple sources cover each other's gaps.
Can I migrate my Lusha credits?
+
No — Lusha credits are not transferable. However, Cleanlist's 100 free credits let you start without cost. Given the price difference (500 Cleanlist credits cost less than 40 Lusha credits), most teams find the switch pays for itself in the first week.
