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 Zoominfo, 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
Zoominfo and Lusha are comparable in terms of features, with Zoominfo having more features as a sales intelligence platform. Lusha has superior dashboards and APIs, making it more user-friendly over Zoominfo. Lusha is primarily focused on developing contact data sourcing and useful contact lists. However, with Zoominfo, You can search within ZoomInfo’s platform without scraping Linkedin or business websites, and it connects with most CRMs. Company alerts, news, and contact management are some of the other services accessible. The package also includes the chance to manage contacts inside their system in addition to buyer intent indicators. These can be useful in detecting trigger events as trigger events create effects on a business that can lead to new priorities emerging within management teams, which in turn changes direction based off what’s needed going forward.
Pricing
ZoomInfo’s costs range from $10,000 per month for basic plans to a maximum of $20 million annually. It is essential to remember that it comes with a contract and a minimum number of seats. Lusha has three different pricing plans. The most basic plan, which costs $99 per user each month, only includes 100 contacts monthly. This implies that to go beyond 100 contacts each month, you’ll need to purchase more credits. The total number of calls and emails are included in the 100 contact limit every month.
Data Quality
The ZoomInfo data acquired in 2020 and 2021 was frequently criticized as low-quality and bounce rates by sales and marketing executives during hundreds of research discussions conducted over the previous two years. Some individuals informed us that Bounce rates were 20% to 50%, depending on their target audience. According to its maker, Zoominfo has an accuracy of 95%.

Overall
Overall, Lusha vs. Zoominfo was compared by critics, who preferred Lusha to be more user-friendly, easy to set up and maintain. Reviewers thought that ZoomInfo provided superior product support than Lusha and was better if you have a big sales team or want to grow your staff quickly. However, you’ll need to sign a lengthy agreement with ZoomInfo in order for it to be effective, so it’s only really useful if you intend on sending out a lot of emails on a weekly basis. Zoominfo is not the solution for you if you don’t think your representatives will send emails frequently. While Lusha does not have as many features or capabilities as Zoominfo, it excels at locating phone numbers and emails. Keep in mind that to send emails, you’ll need a messaging program like Outreach.

🎓 Pro Tip:
Often people look for role changes as a Trigger event to sell in their product or services. Although this is very powerful Trigger event we can often look for Job Posts to predict when a role change may occur. When a company posts a role that sits within your buyer persona this is a precursor to the change and will give you an opportunity to establish a relationship with a potential client prior to a new decision maker joining.
