A Lusha Alternative That Doesn’t Charge Monthly
Lusha is a solid tool — but you pay $49–79 per seat every month whether you run 10 lookups or 1,000. Ziwa finds the same LinkedIn emails and phone numbers on a pay-per-result basis. No subscription, no seat minimums, and emails are free.

When Ziwa is the better choice
If you mainly used Lusha to reveal a prospect’s email or phone number from LinkedIn, you’re paying a monthly platform fee for a job Ziwa does per-result. Paste a LinkedIn URL, get the contact data, pay only when a phone is found. For the full cost breakdown across tools, see our Apollo vs Lusha vs Ziwa comparison.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to Lusha?
If you want LinkedIn emails and phone numbers without a monthly subscription, Ziwa is a strong Lusha alternative. It uses pay-per-result pricing — you buy credits and only spend them when a phone number is found, with no per-seat monthly fee.
Is Ziwa cheaper than Lusha?
For most usage, yes. Lusha starts at roughly $49–79 per user per month regardless of how many lookups you run. Ziwa has no monthly fee — a freelancer doing 30 lookups a month pays a few dollars, and emails are free.
Can I switch from Lusha without losing anything?
Ziwa focuses on contact extraction rather than being a full CRM. If you only used Lusha to reveal emails and phone numbers from LinkedIn, Ziwa covers that at a fraction of the cost. If you relied on Lusha’s CRM sync and sequences, you can run Ziwa alongside your existing CRM.
