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 Hunter, two of the most popular solutions.

💡 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

The free Google Chrome extension for email formats, Hunter, is a useful tool for finding the correct submission format for any business. With the help of the software, you may quickly and simply check out every company’s email style. You may quickly and painlessly verify all of your emails using this program. This demonstrates that the emails were issued by respectable sources. Lusha is ideal for salespeople who spend the bulk of their time cold emailing, whether through Lusha’s prospecting tool or any other method. It’s not, however, the greatest tool for dedicated marketing teams looking to build comprehensive datasets since Lusha doesn’t give as many data points as other systems.

Pricing

Lusha has a free plan and professional plans starting at $99/month, going up to customised enterprise plans. Hunter has a free plan, a starter plan starting at $49/month and increasing up to enterprise valued at $399/month.

Data Quality

Lusha has a phone and email verification accuracy of 81 percent. Lusha is utilized by both small and large enterprises. They are also GDPR, CCPA, and data protection best practices compliant. Hunter has a higher data quality than Lusha.

Contact Information

Lusha has over 100 million contacts in their database, according to corporate address information. Hunter is only as useful as the data it can gather from the internet. If a firm doesn’t have any email addresses published online, Hunter won’t be able to discover them. Hunter may only identify non-personal emails, making it tough to find personnel emails.

Overall

Reviewers found Hunter to be more user-friendly, easier to set up and maintain. Overall, our reviewers had a favorable impression of Hunter. Both Lusha and Hunter satisfy the demands of our judges at about the same rate. Our testers felt that Hunter is the superior option in terms of quality of ongoing product support. When it came to adding new features and roadmaps, our testers liked Lusha’s approach better than that of Hunter.

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. 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 – this allows you stay on top of changes, so that your sales team can be the first to act! You can create Trigger events on the back of people or company changes in Technology Usage, Fundraising Rounds, News Mentions Role Changes, Live Job Posts and Mergers & Acquisitions.
