Kaspr vs Lusha (2026)
Choose Kaspr if your reps prospect from LinkedIn and want unlimited work emails at a flat seat price, and Lusha if the team needs a wider data platform with an API, signals and a full set of security certifications. Kaspr's Starter plan costs $49 a user a month on annual billing, or $65 monthly, with unlimited business emails under a fair use policy, 100 phone credits a month and up to 12,000 exports a year. Lusha sells credits instead: Starter at $37.45 a month billed yearly buys 4,800 credits a year for one seat, where an email costs 1 credit and a phone number 5, and Pro at $52.45 covers two seats with the API and webhooks. Lusha's trust center lists a SOC 2 report and ISO certifications up to ISO 42001 for AI management, while Kaspr runs no security page of its own. Both tell people they are in the data: Kaspr emails a notice with an opt out, and Lusha sends notices to European data subjects and runs a self serve privacy center.
