Introduction

ContactOut as a Lusha Alternative — a strong
Lusha competitor ✨

Mate — this one’s a no-brainer. Although Lusha claims to be “much better,” ContactOut’s G2 ratings speak for themselves. Across the board, in every way, we are, in their words, “much better.” And not only are we wiping the floor with our stats and G2 ratings, Lusha doesn’t have any proprietary data or engagement tools.

If you’re a recruiter, ContactOut is the obvious choice.

Riddle me this — with the average tenure of a tech nerd being 1.5 – 2 years, what’s the point in having work emails if it’s going to be useless in the next year or so?

And if that’s not enough to convince you, we’re more affordable with a lower per credit cost.

ContactOut gives recruiters the personal emails Lusha lacks

Simply put, Lusha’s personal email data coverage for contacting candidates is weak.

You can reach more than 200 million contacts by personal email with ContactOut — about 75% of professionals on Linkedin.
Lusha has only 10–20% of that amount of personal email data.
Better yet, you still get all the professional emails Lusha has — all for the same price.
