Lusha
Chose Lusha
Lusha Extension is a great tool compared to the competition like Apollo. It is easy to use and does the job well. However the other platforms, like Apollo or Clodura, provide a good value for money comprehensive platform. Lusha Extension lacks a sale outreach feature, which …
Chose Lusha
They all complete the same end goal so it honestly just is a matter of preference. I have really enjoyed the Lusha Extention but if I am honest, I have found the Apollo Extention to be more of a game-changer because of some additional tools. Don't get me wrong, I would still …
Chose Lusha
Lusha was simply easier to use, with better contact data as per the anecdotal evidence from my sales reps. It also had a simple interface that did not require much implementation, and a pop-up on where we source our leads, which is linkedin. This led to hassle-free usage and …
Chose Lusha
Lusha is the best for getting mobile numbers, which is the main reason for getting a tool like this in the first place.

I referred Lusha to a sales manager in another company who has a good experience as well.
Chose Lusha
Lusha is much more visually appealing and I love the pop up. Very good for finding "hidden gems" in the form of phone numbers of difficult to reach contacts
Chose Lusha
We selected Lusha, but we also used Apollo. Reasons aforementioned in this review.
Chose Lusha
Using Lusha parallely with Apollo and Mr.E. All of them are good at different features and stand out for their uniqueness. Lusha stands as the best in data accuracy for work emails.

The ease of use is another plus point for Lusha over the other tools in my opinion.
Chose Lusha
Lusha is easy to use. Lusha has better lists of the market and size we are targeting. Lusha's data has better accuracy than others.
Chose Lusha
The quality of data Lusha provided is better than that of RocketReach and we had a cost effective deal from Lusha's team as well. Our team found the user interface of Lusha way better than that of RocketReach. Also, the integration that Lusha provided was not seamlessly …
Chose Lusha
With its intuitive easy-to-use Chrome extension, Lusha has been able to provide the contact information for prospects or leads. The details are always correct. There are hardly any chances that you would not find the contact details. It is the best among all I have evaluated or …
Chose Lusha
I was involved in the selection process of Lusha in my previous company. We'd evaluated ZoomInfo, Lusha, RocketReach and LeadIQ to finally land up on Lusha due to the following reasons: We did a 1 month POC with Free Trials of all 4 tools and found data quality on Lusha to be …
Chose Lusha
Lush provides more range in terms of the spread of the targeted audience. It however does not provide buyer intent information, this buyer intent information is provided by other tools such as Slintel, and to some extent D&B hoovers. More than the information the shift is now …
Chose Lusha
We have access to a number of tools but for prospect contact data from APAC and Europe, Lusha is more reliable. It’s our choice about which tools to use, and I choose Lusha. Other tools try to sell you their dashboard and to be honest, I don’t really care about it. I don’t want …
Chose Lusha
It's all about the data. I feel Lusha Extension provides better data for certain geographies.
Chose Lusha
Like what I've said I used different lead finders but Lusha is topnotch. Its credibility and validity, raise my expectations and standards higher this time. Some lead finders' extensions crash and slow to load and that's one of the reasons why Lusha is the greatest software …
Chose Lusha
What I like best about this software is it gives valid contact information of a particular person, such as phone numbers and email addresses. Another thing is that compared to other tools, this is very convenient to use, most importantly, its extension, which incorporates into …
Chose Lusha
It would mainly have to be because of the large database that they possess as well as the great interface and layout. Also, the ease of setting up and getting things running, as the extension takes just a few seconds to download and then install, and how doesn't require …

Apollo.io
The automatic email feature is extremely helpful for quickly contacting more potential clients. It is user-friendly and easy to access all buttons, which helps you navigate the task efficiently. It could greatly help to acquire more clients for a project to be successful. I cannot see anything less appropriate for me to achieve the goal I am aiming for.

Lusha
I leverage Lusha daily to powerfully qualify and enrich my leads in multiple ways: from supercharging data extracted from CSV files to seamlessly populating phone numbers and email addresses directly from LinkedIn.However, the HubSpot CRM integration truly needs simplification. While I frequently use the standard sequences, I strongly believe they could be dramatically improved by combining email, InMail, and even audio messages. And finally, the conversations module, currently in beta, shows immense promise!

Pros
Apollo.io
  • Sequencing automated email campaigns for outbound prospecting (BD Function).
  • Integrating with Sales Navigator to help me find emails/phone #' numbers/"add to sequence" while prospecting. It's easy and seamless to find & then load contacts into Cadences.
  • Integration with Salesforce is a huge plus. Allows me to not worry about logging anything, but the executive team can see my activity & what is going on (emails going out, responses I get, etc.).
  • The analytics on the outreach data is always helpful as well (open rates, click rates, etc.).

Cons
Apollo.io
  • Some of time it happens that right stakeholders' mobile seems not available in which improvement can help more accurate data.
  • Notifications when someone opens the marketing email and showing the interest.
  • Mobile application that will help us during the travelling. It will get very easy to log calls and find the contacts on the way.

Lusha
  • It would be nice to have a general idea of how many contacts it has information for on a particular account at the very start before scrolling through the different pages.
  • It would be great to also have the titles of individuals on the list, so it's quicker to sift who to keep in or exclude prior to revealing details.
  • No product is perfect! Some of the information generated can be inaccurate or generic, e.g., a phone number for a persona may not be direct for that individual but could be a general customer service number for the company and could be the same number listed for multiple prospects.

Usability
Apollo.io
Apollo.io has an amazing amount of features. It's great being able to complete so many tasks in one space but it's also overwhelming. It took me a few days to work through all of the options when searching for a company or person. After a few days it started to provide companies for me which was confusing before I understood what was happening. At first, I was also confused about what a "sequence" was so maybe some of the jargon can be confusing. I think with time I will become more comfortable once I understand all of the options offered.

Simple, clean efficient. No lags and gets us the exact data that we need. No unnecessary terminologies, and it works like a charm every time. From prospecting to lead generation, and intent searching, Lusha is our go to tool and it has stayed ever since we started using it. i would highly recommend.

The team wants to solve probelms, but we are finding that they don't know how to solve the more technical issues quickly. I suspect that they don't have a mature process for escalations, and they don't have a usable knowledge base article repository. They seems to push emails around to let us know that people are working on the issues to find solutions, but this takes weeks and oftentimes still leaves us without a resolution.

It is actually pretty easy. If you already worked with Google Chrome's extensions, you're not going to have any problem. It's actually plug & play – you just need to setup your account, install the extension and start prospecting. Lusha gives you an assistant on the browser that easily allows you to crawl information of any LinkedIn profile you're visiting.

Make.com, Dripify and Hubspot all seem to have similar systems. However, they don't have any of the data. So, you wind up spending more money and time connecting them all to your system. Zoom Info has great data, but they didn't have automation. Apollo.io allows you to combined all of these other ones into on system which is fantastic.

Lusha is cheaper compared to other competitors, and zoom is much more accurate, but Lusha is cheaper. We use Lusha to find consultants to fill our job roles, and our team finds this tool to be very helpful in reaching out to passive consultants. We have closed some positions using Lusha. We have a team of 200+ recruiters, and we are currently using 6 logins for our head hunters, and they are all happy using Lusha account.

Return on Investment
Apollo.io
  • I've only just started using Apollo, but with the 24 emails I've sent out using Apollo, I've already received one response, which is a much better ratio than before.
  • I was also able to add several companies that were not already in my Salesforce account, which appeared in Apollo.io.
  • Apollo.io helped me find genuine companies that we could assist through the prospecting filters, which was very helpful.

  • More time Selling, Less Time Searching: B2B selling today is all about how fast you can reach your prospects. Searching for contact information was daunting and painful a few years back. With 1-click imports, integrations and hunts: tools like Lusha are a massive benefit in terms of saving time in the ever laborious task of List Building.
  • Better Phone Numbers: Especially in regions like EU and APAC, where mobile numbers are not available with tools like ZoomInfo and Apollo, Lusha comes as a saviour.
