Independent discussion is modest: about 14 first-hand, non-promotional comments. Users mostly like it as a quick LinkedIn extension for pulling emails and mobiles one profile at a time, especially for European and French prospects, and as a cheaper alternative or backup to bigger databases; the trade-offs are a narrower database and weaker search than Apollo and phone numbers that are sometimes wrong or disconnected. A large share of the remaining mentions were promotional, mostly accounts steering Kaspr users to Datagma, FullEnrich or other tools, and the complaints about Kaspr's pricing at volume appeared only inside those pitches, so they are not counted here.
Users like
- Rated well for European contacts, including the French market; one user calls it their favourite for the EU while admitting they have no view on US quality[1][2][3][4]
- The Chrome extension pulls an email or mobile straight from a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator profile, which suits prospecting one person at a time[1][2][3]
- Works as a backup source for emails and phones behind a broader database such as Apollo[1][2][3]
- Seen as more affordable than ZoomInfo or Cognism for EU contact data[1][2]
Users complain about
- Smaller database and weaker list-building filters than Apollo; a solo founder switched to Apollo after two months[1][2][3]
- Phone numbers can be wrong: one tester found it returned more mobiles than Prospeo but half were disconnected[1][2]
- One user prospecting in Europe ranks it behind Lusha and SalesPort for phone data quality[1]
- Requires installing its LinkedIn browser extension; a privacy-minded tester called the extension shady and found his never-published personal mobile in Kaspr's data[1]
Independent users see Lusha as a budget-friendly lookup tool that some find more accurate than Apollo for emails and phone numbers, useful as a second source or for one-off lookups. The trade-off is uneven accuracy (users report invented emails, invalid numbers and roughly 50/50 hit rates), thin coverage for enterprise and EMEA work, and weak filtering and credit terms. More than half of the Reddit mentions were promotional: one cluster of comments repeats 'Lusha for accuracy, Apollo for volume' in vendor terms, and many replies to Lusha complaints exist to plug alternatives (Bookyourdata, UpLead, ContactOut, FullEnrich and others), so this rests on about 21 independent opinions, most of them brief.
Users like
- Budget friendly, with free credits that make it easy to start and combine with Apollo[1][2][3]
- Some users find its emails and numbers more accurate than Apollo's or ZoomInfo's, though it returns fewer results[1][2][3][4]
- Phone numbers, including mobiles, work fairly well for some teams despite occasional misses[1][2]
- Useful as one of two sources: users pair it with Apollo, and one found it surfaced far more decision makers than Apollo for the same companies[1][2][3]
Users complain about
- Accuracy is unreliable for some: users report about 50/50 accuracy, invalid numbers that hurt domains, and one domain owner traced made-up email addresses sent to his company back to Lusha[1][2][3][4]
- Falls short against premium providers: it lost to ZoomInfo and Cognism in US and EMEA tests and was not enough for Fortune 500 IT prospecting[1][2][3]
- Filtering and user experience are weak, and one user calls the UX horrible enough to make it 2 to 3 times more expensive in practice[1]
- Credit terms frustrate users: no refunds for bad data, CRM saving gated on the first paid tier, and a search limit that appeared without notice[1][2]
