The short answer
Here is who each of Lusha and SalesIntel suits best, from what each vendor says on its own site.
- You want to see prices before talking to anyone, since Lusha lists plans from Free (40 credits a month) to Premium.
- You prospect from LinkedIn with a Chrome extension and reveal contacts one at a time.
- You want to work out call list cost up front, with a phone reveal at 5 credits and an email reveal at 1.
- You want mobile numbers to be a headline part of the database, with a claimed 54M+ mobiles.
- You want intent topics and growth signals such as funding and executive hires in the same product as the contact data.
- You prefer one package with unlimited users, exports and enrichment over counting credits, and you are fine asking sales for a quote.

Frequently asked questions
Only Lusha publishes numbers. Its pricing page lists Starter at $49.90 a month for 400 credits, with a phone reveal at 5 credits. SalesIntel shows a Request Pricing button and no dollar figures, so you need a quote before you can compare.
Lusha lists a Free plan with 40 credits a month, which covers eight phone reveals at 5 credits each. The SalesIntel pages we read mention a pricing request, not a free plan or trial, so ask SalesIntel directly if testing matters.
Lusha spends credits on reveals, 5 for a phone number and 1 for an email. SalesIntel describes one package with unlimited exports and enrichment, so there is no per-number counting on the page, though add-ons are priced separately.
Each figure is the vendor's own claim. Lusha's homepage lists 117M+ direct dials. SalesIntel's homepage claims 54M+ mobile numbers out of 200M+ contacts. The two count different things, so test a sample from each before trusting either number.
SalesIntel does. It offers intent topics, built from its own model and Bombora, plus growth signals, though its pricing page lists Intent Data as an add-on. Lusha lists 26 buying signals such as funding, hiring and leadership changes.
Lusha is written for small sales teams and individual reps, with a free tier and published plans. SalesIntel names sales, marketing and RevOps teams and sells through a quote, so a small team should price it before assuming it fits.
Both list Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach and Salesloft. Lusha adds Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Nooks, Clay, Gong and Bullhorn among others, plus a Chrome extension, API and MCP. SalesIntel adds Marketo and mentions API and webhook access.
No. Neither has a native integration. Export a CSV from either one, upload it, and check each contact. Will This Person Answer checks US phone numbers only, and the first 250 contacts are free with no card required.
From Lusha, reveal the contacts first because only revealed ones appear in a CSV, then use Phone 1, and Phone 2 as a backup. From SalesIntel, build the list and include the mobile and direct dial columns in the export.
Call High chance contacts first. Send Low chance contacts to email or a sequence in Outreach or Salesloft, which both vendors list. Leave Bad data numbers out of the dialer so no call time goes to them.
