Lusha pricing in 2026: plans, credits and what one email costs

Updated October 19, 2026. Kairon now finds work emails and mobile numbers itself: $0.02 per email found and $0.20 per mobile found, and a search that finds nothing is free. The Kairon figures below use these prices. Lusha’s are as we read them on October 17.

Lusha Starter costs $49.90 a month for 400 credits, or $37.45 a month billed yearly. An email costs 1 credit and a phone number costs 5. If you use every credit on Starter with monthly billing, an email costs $0.125 and a phone number $0.62. We read every price on Lusha’s pricing page on October 17, 2026.

Lusha’s plans and credits

Lusha sells credits in a plan for the whole account. These are the plans on Lusha’s pricing page:

Starter includes 1 seat, Pro 2 and Premium 5. Free needs no credit card. On Pro and Premium, a slider on the pricing page buys more credits and moves the price. With monthly billing, Pro with 1,000 credits a month costs $114.90. Premium with 5,000 costs $549.90.

Lusha’s guide to how credits are counted lists what each action costs. These are the ones for emails and phones:

• Email: 1 credit
• Phone number: 5 credits
• Email and phone number together: up to 6 credits
• A contact you already revealed in the same billing cycle: 0 credits
• An API request that returns nothing: 1 credit
• Email or phone from Lusha’s waterfall: 2 credits for a confirmed email, 8 for a confirmed phone, 0 when it finds nothing

On Pro and Premium with monthly billing, unused credits roll over while you stay subscribed, “up to twice the credit limit” of your plan. Free and Starter credits don’t roll over. On yearly billing, unused credits reset at the end of the year.

What one email or phone number costs in Lusha

The price of a credit depends on the plan, the billing and how many of your credits you use. If you use every credit your plan includes, each one costs this:

The plan also pays for Lusha’s browser extension, email sequences and seats. This table assumes the whole plan price goes to data. Every credit you leave unused raises the price of the ones you use. On Pro and Premium with monthly billing, unused credits roll over to the next month.

Lusha compared with Kairon’s price per find

Kairon doesn’t sell data credits. It finds work emails and mobile numbers itself. It charges each one it finds to your usage balance: $0.02 per email and $0.20 per mobile. A search that finds nothing is free. The Starter plan ($49 a month) includes $10 of that balance. Kairon’s data pricing page lists every price.

Kairon’s search finds mobile numbers, not office lines. In Lusha, a CSV row it can’t match costs nothing, and an API request that returns nothing costs 1 credit.

Finding data needs a Kairon plan. So the next tables show two Kairon columns: the finds alone, and the finds with Starter. Starter runs LinkedIn campaigns from Claude, ChatGPT or another agent. Email needs one of three: your Instantly at no extra cost, your Gmail or Outlook at $10 a mailbox a month, or managed email.

The tables count found results only and use monthly billing. The Lusha column is the cheapest plan whose credits cover the month, at the price Lusha’s slider showed:

Read the tables this way:

• Emails: up to 40 a month, Lusha’s Free plan covers them. Above that, Kairon costs less at every volume in the table, with or without Starter.
• Phone numbers: up to 8 a month, Free covers them. Above that, Kairon’s finds cost less at every volume in the table. Counting Kairon’s Starter, Lusha’s Starter costs less from about 55 to 80 found numbers a month, the most its 400 credits cover. Above 80, Kairon costs less at every volume in the table.

When Lusha is the better buy

Lusha costs less, or gives you more for the price, when:

• You look up 40 emails or 8 phone numbers a month or fewer, which the Free plan covers.
• You would buy Kairon’s Starter only for phone numbers, and you find about 55 to 80 a month. Lusha’s Starter then costs less.
• Your volume changes month to month. On Pro and Premium with monthly billing, unused credits roll over up to twice the plan’s limit. Kairon’s included $10 resets every month.
• You want the data in a browser extension, with seats for your team: Pro includes 2 and Premium 5.
• You buy a lot of data. Lusha’s custom Scale plan promises “50%+ off price per credit”, at a price it doesn’t publish.

How we calculated these numbers

Every number on this page comes from these sources and rules:

• Lusha’s prices: Lusha’s pricing page, read in a browser on October 17, 2026, with monthly and yearly billing. We moved its credits slider one 200-credit step at a time. We read Lusha’s guide to how credits are counted the same day.
• Price per credit: the plan price divided by the credits it includes, rounded to three decimals. A phone number is 5 times the unrounded price, rounded to the cent. For yearly billing, the yearly price Lusha charges ($449.10 for Starter, $629.10 for Pro, $3,599.10 for Premium), divided by the year’s credits.
• Volume tables: monthly billing and found results only. The Lusha column is the cheapest plan whose credits cover the month, at the price the slider showed. The slider moves in steps of 200 credits, so 2,500 credits means buying 2,600. The Starter columns assume the whole $10 balance goes to finding data. If your campaigns spend part of it on AI, Kairon costs more.
• Kairon’s prices: Kairon’s pricing and data pricing pages, as of October 19, 2026. An email found costs $0.02 and a mobile found $0.20. A search that finds nothing is free. Starter costs $49 a month with $10 of balance.
