Why
Why Are People Switching From Lusha to Outbound System
Lusha charges credits for every reveal, so full lists get expensive fast. Teams choose Unlimited B2B Data for complete lists with emails and mobile numbers at one flat price.
No Credits Per Reveal
On Lusha, each email reveal uses 1 credit and each phone number uses 5, and more credits are bought through your account settings. Unlimited B2B Data has no reveals and no credits. Emails and phone numbers are unlimited on every plan for one flat monthly price, so you never weigh whether a phone number is worth five credits.
Build Full Lists, Not Just Lookups
Build complete lists rather than revealing contacts one at a time. Unlimited B2B Data searches 390M+ contacts with 100+ filters and buying signals, then exports as many as you need in one pass. On the Scale plan, a 50,000-contact list builds in about 12 seconds, and Starter builds the same list in about 5 minutes.
Mobile Numbers Included
Mobile numbers are where reveal pricing adds up, since Lusha charges 5 credits for each phone number. Unlimited B2B Data includes 53M+ mobile numbers and direct dials on every plan, even Starter at $199 a month. They export with the emails at no extra cost, so calling teams get full contact records from Outbound System.
Seats Included
Lusha's Professional plan charges $49.90 a month for each additional seat, and teams larger than 5 users are sent to sales. Our plans include 3, 10, or 25 team seats, and every seat gets unlimited searches and exports. Adding a rep to Unlimited B2B Data doesn't add a line item, and nobody shares a credit balance.
No Credits to Lose
Unused credits on Lusha's annual plans reset at the end of the cycle, and monthly plans roll over up to twice the credit limit. Either way, you are tracking a balance. With Unlimited B2B Data there are no credits to lose, expire, or roll over, so a slow month costs you nothing extra and a busy month costs the same flat price.
Works With Your AI Assistant
API, dashboard, and MCP access come with every Unlimited B2B Data plan, so Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor can build lists in plain English with no reveals to approve. To test the data first, pull 5,000 fully enriched leads free with no card required, then compare them with your current reveals and see what Outbound System includes.
How Far Lusha Credits Go
Lusha charges 1 credit to reveal an email and 5 for a phone number, so a contact with both costs 6 credits. Premium is $399.90 a month for 3,400 credits, about 567 full contacts. A 10,000-contact list with phones needs about 60,000 credits, or 17 to 18 months of Premium. Unlimited B2B Data Starter is $199 a month with unlimited exports.
