Key takeaway: $37.45 a month is Lusha's cheapest paid plan. Its pricing page, read on 26 October 2026, lists Starter at $37.45, Pro at $52.45 and Premium at $299.95 a month billed yearly, or $49.90, $69.90 and $399.90 on monthly billing. Every plan runs on credits: an email costs 1 credit and a phone number 5, so Starter's 4,800 yearly credits buy 960 phone numbers. Buyer-reported contracts on Vendr have a $15,999 a year median, an estimate rather than a Lusha price.

Lusha is a B2B contact data platform: you look up a person and it reveals a verified email or phone number, through its web app, its Chrome extension or its API. Recruiters use it to reach candidates they have already found, and Lusha's help center says its extension "works on LinkedIn Recruiter," though "Recruiter access requires approval." It competes with tools like Apollo.io, RocketReach and ZoomInfo.

Every price below was read in a rendered browser on 26 October 2026. We switched between Pay yearly and Pay monthly and clicked the seat buttons on Pro and Premium, and the arithmetic comes from a script committed with this article.

Three details change the real cost. Annual billing saves 25%, but it buys no extra credits: each yearly plan is exactly twelve months of the monthly allowance, and yearly credits expire at the end of the cycle. A phone number costs five times an email. And extra seats add cost but no credits, so a bigger team shares the same pool.

How much does Lusha cost?

Lusha publishes four self-serve tiers and a custom Scale plan. Prices are what the page shows per month, in US dollars.

Lusha plan (checked 26 Oct 2026) Billed yearly, per month Yearly total Billed monthly Annual saving
Free $0 $0 $0 Not applicable
Starter (1 seat) $37.45 $449.40 $49.90 ($598.80 a year) 24.9% ($149.40)
Pro (2 seats included) $52.45 $629.40 $69.90 ($838.80 a year) 25.0% ($209.40)
Premium (5 seats included) $299.95 $3,599.40 $399.90 ($4,798.80 a year) 25.0% ($1,199.40)
Scale Contact sales Custom Custom Not published

The yearly totals are our arithmetic (twelve times the monthly figure the page shows "billed yearly"); the page itself labels the switch "Pay yearly (25% off)." Scale is described as a "fully customizable plan for large organizations" with custom credits and seats.

How many credits does each Lusha plan include?

Credits are the unit that matters. Lusha's billing and plans guide lists the costs: reveal an email for 1 credit, a phone number for 5 credits, or both for up to 6. Searching, filtering and re-viewing a contact you already revealed cost nothing.

Plan (lusha.com, 26 Oct 2026) Credits, yearly billing Credits, monthly billing Phone numbers a year (5 credits) Email and phone contacts a year (6 credits)
Free Not applicable 40 a month 96 (8 a month) 80
Starter 4,800 a year 400 a month 960 800
Pro 7,200 a year 600 a month 1,440 1,200
Premium 40,800 a year 3,400 a month 8,160 6,800

On yearly billing, that works out to a price per phone number of:

Plan Cost per credit, yearly Cost per phone number, yearly Cost per phone number, monthly
Starter $0.0936 $0.468 $0.624
Pro $0.0874 $0.437 $0.583
Premium $0.0882 $0.441 $0.588

The surprise is Premium. It costs 5.72 times as much as Pro and includes 5.67 times the credits, so its price per credit is slightly higher, not lower. Premium buys three more included seats, team management and credit allocation, not cheaper data. The page reserves the volume discount, "50%+ off price per credit," for Scale.

For a recruiter, the email-plus-phone cost of 6 credits is the number to plan around. Reaching 100 new candidates a month by email and phone needs 7,200 credits a year, which is exactly Pro's yearly allowance and more than Starter's 4,800. That is our example volume, not Lusha's. For a benchmark on real outreach volumes, see how many candidates recruiters contact per week.

Do Lusha credits roll over?

It depends on how you pay. Lusha's billing FAQ says that "On monthly plans, unused credits roll over to the next month, up to 2× your monthly limit." On annual plans, "credits do not roll over under any circumstances" and "unused credits are forfeited, even if the subscription is renewed." Free plan credits do not roll over either.

On the pricing page, the monthly Pro and Premium cards say "Credits roll over up to 2x," while the monthly Starter card says only "Credits granted each month." Two more rules from the help center: upgrading "starts a new billing cycle" and "Credits from your previous plan don't carry over," and downgrades "take effect at the end of your current billing cycle." Paid plans renew automatically unless you cancel.

So the 25% annual discount is a bet that you will use every credit. A team that reveals unevenly can come out ahead on monthly Pro, where unused credits roll forward up to a cap.

How much does Lusha cost for a team?

Pro includes 2 seats and Premium 5, and the billing guide says they expand "up to 10" and "up to 25" seats. We clicked the seat button once on each plan. The page showed:

Seats (checked 26 Oct 2026) Pro, billed yearly Pro, billed monthly Premium, billed yearly Premium, billed monthly
Included seats (Pro 2, Premium 5) $52.45 a month $69.90 a month $299.95 a month $399.90 a month
One extra seat (Pro 3, Premium 6) $89.85 a month $119.80 a month $337.35 a month $449.80 a month
Cost of the extra seat $37.40 a month ($448.80 a year) $49.90 a month $37.40 a month ($448.80 a year) $49.90 a month

The credit allowance did not move when we added a seat: Pro stayed at 7,200 credits a year and Premium at 40,800. At its 2 included seats, Pro gives each user 3,600 credits a year, or 720 phone numbers each. Add a third seat and the shared pool works out to 2,400 credits a user, for a yearly total of $1,078.20. Credit limits per user or group, the Manager role and SSO configuration are "available on Scale plans only," per the billing guide.

What do Lusha's plans include?

The plan cards list what each tier adds on top of the one below.

Feature (lusha.com, 26 Oct 2026) Free Starter Pro Premium Scale
Verified emails and phones, filters, email sequences Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Lookalikes, bulk enrichment, AI assistant No Yes Yes Yes Yes
Buying intent topics No 5 5 5, unlimited results 25, unlimited results
API, CSV enrichment, signals, webhooks No No Yes Yes Yes
Advanced API, team management, credit allocation No No No Yes Yes
SSO, advanced compliance, priority support No No No No Yes

API calls, CSV exports and CRM exports also draw credits: the credits breakdown lists 1 credit per 1 to 25 API results and per 1 to 25 CSV export rows, and 1 credit per CRM export. The compliance row lists GDPR, CCPA, SOC2 and ISO 27701.

What do companies actually pay for Lusha?

Vendr, which collects buyer-reported contract data, says the "Median buyer pays $15,999 per year," based on 147 purchases, with a low of $6,000 and a high of $70,403. These are buyer-reported estimates, not Lusha prices.

For scale, $15,999 is about 4.4 years of Premium at its yearly list price of $3,599.40. Contracts at that level are likely Scale deals or Premium with many extra seats, but Vendr does not say which plans sit behind the median.

How does Lusha pricing compare to Apollo, RocketReach and ContactOut?

All four publish prices, read rendered on 26 October 2026. They meter data in different units (Lusha and Apollo by credits, RocketReach and ContactOut by exports), so this compares a year of the entry plan that includes phone numbers, not identical bundles.

Plan (checked 26 Oct 2026) Price for a year Phone numbers a year Cost per phone number
Lusha Starter (yearly, 1 seat) $449.40 960 (5 credits each) $0.468
Lusha Pro (yearly, 2 seats share credits) $629.40 1,440 $0.437
Apollo Basic (annual, 1 seat) $588 3,750 (8 credits each) $0.157
RocketReach Pro (annual, 1 seat) $899 3,600 exports $0.25
ContactOut Email + Phone ($99 a month, shown reduced from $199) $1,188 7,200 exports $0.165

Lusha has the lowest paid entry price for phone data among the four, but the highest cost per phone number on its self-serve plans. If a recruiter mostly needs emails, Lusha's 1-credit email reveals make Starter go much further: 4,800 emails a year.

Limitations

  • These are point-in-time list prices in US dollars on 26 October 2026. Yearly totals are twelve times the monthly figure shown; Lusha's checkout may round differently.
  • The page has a credits slider that marks a recommended plan. Moving it did not change any plan price, so we did not report slider positions.
  • We read team prices at one extra seat only; other seat counts may price differently.
  • Scale is quote-based, and its "50%+ off price per credit" is Lusha's claim with no published base.
  • Vendr's figures are buyer-reported, and its listing does not say which plans or seat counts sit behind the median.
  • The Apollo, RocketReach and ContactOut comparison is entry plan to entry plan; the tools meter data in different units and are not identical bundles.
  • The 100-candidates-a-month recruiter is an illustrative volume, not measured usage.
