The right sales intelligence platform is essential to your company’s success; VP Sales, Sales Directors, Sales Managers, SDRs, BDRs, and BDMAs have more alternatives than ever when it comes to sales intelligence tools to power their teams. This page compares Lusha and Crunchbase, two of the most popular solutions.

๐Ÿ’ก Fun Fact:

Prospecting is an essential function in a B2B sales team. Despite this, prospecting is frequently cited as a source of pain for salespeople, accounting for over 50% of their time spent on unproductive prospecting owing to bad contact data, incorrect prospects, and delays in timeliness.

Features

Lusha is a live database that provides B2B salespeople with up-to-date, appropriate, and immediate business data. To ensure accurate and immediate data accuracy and database cleanliness, Lusha gathers its information from several sources and cross-checks and updates live. Crunchbase is a platform for tracking industry trends, investments, and news about businesses around the world. Crunchbase has more features that Lusha, excelling over Lusha in having a lead builder, data segmentation, and news alerts.

Pricing

Lusha has a free plan and professional plans starting at $99/month, going up to customised enterprise plans. Crunchbase starts at $29/month for one user, $49/month for Crunchbase pro and increases to customised enterprise plans.

Data Quality

Lusha has high data quality, with the majority of available phone numbers belonging to sales agents. Other job titles have restricted phone number coverage. Mobile numbers aren’t cross-checked against TPS/CTPS or DNC lists, so users must individually check them all. Crunchbase has lower data quality than Lusha.

Contact Information

Lusha has a database size of 100M total contacts and 15M company profiles. Crunchbase has greater contact, company and industry research data available compared to Lusha.

Overall

When comparing the two alternatives, our experts identified Lusha as being simpler to utilize and set up. Crunchbase, on the other hand, is easier to manage. Overall, our reviewers preferred doing business with Crunchbase. Both companies provide comparable levels of overall excellence in terms of support for current product features and roadmaps. When it comes to continuing product support quality, Crunchbase was chosen above Lusha by our experts. Our testers felt that Crunchbase gave superior value when compared to Lusha in terms of functionality and usefulness.

While both platforms are helpful sales intelligence tools, they both lack the ability to build out tailored real time alerts that can help give your sales team an edge.ย With Triggr, you can use the tool to build out Trigger Events so that when company or people changes occur an alert will be triggered โ€“ this allows you stay on top of changes, so that your sales team can be the first to act!
