Frequently asked questions
Lusha publishes plan prices, with Starter at $49.90 a month for 400 credits and a Free plan of 40 credits. Kaspr and Apollo both have free plans but their price pages did not show comparable figures. Match plans to the number of phone reveals you need, since phone credits cost more.
All three have a free plan, so a small team can test before paying. Lusha lists 40 credits a month, Kaspr lists 5 phone credits a month, and Apollo has a free plan with no time limit. SignalHire's own free plan is smaller, at 5 retrievals.
Each offers a free plan rather than a timed trial. Lusha gives 40 credits a month and Kaspr gives 15 B2B email, 5 phone and 5 direct email credits a month. Apollo's free plan has no time limit. Compare them against SignalHire's 5 retrievals.
Kaspr and Lusha are nearest. Both reveal phone numbers and emails for a named person, and both are credit based. Kaspr works from LinkedIn profiles through a Chrome extension, much like SignalHire's extension. Apollo is a wider platform with outreach and dialing built in.
It is mostly an export job. Pull your saved contacts as a CSV, since SignalHire lists CSV export as its fallback, then load them into the new tool. Run both on the same small list and compare the numbers returned before you drop either one.
SignalHire names Salesforce, Zoho Recruit, Pipedrive, Recruitee and ActiveCampaign. Lusha lists Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM and Bullhorn, among others. Kaspr lists Salesforce, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite. Confirm your own tool on each vendor's page first.
Apollo. Its product pages name a parallel dialer alongside its contact database and outreach sequences. SignalHire, Lusha and Kaspr are built to find contact details, so you would still use a separate dialer to place the calls.
Usually, yes. Lusha charges 5 credits for a phone reveal against 1 for an email, and Kaspr caps phone lookups by credits below Enterprise. SignalHire splits its paid plans into Emails, Phones and Emails & Phones, so confirm the plan covers phone data.
Often, but check limits. Lusha's CSV holds only revealed contacts, and a search export is limited to 150 contacts at a time. SignalHire's bulk runs cover up to 1,000 people or companies. Kaspr offers bulk enrichment of lists you already have.
