Pick Apollo when

  • You're an SMB or growth-stage sales team that needs lead data + basic engagement on one bill, not five.
  • Your ICP is US tech / SaaS where Apollo's data quality is strongest.
  • You want a free tier to test before committing — Apollo's free plan is actually usable for sub-100 lookups/month.
  • You'd rather have 'good enough' across 4 functions than 'great' at 1 — Apollo's bundle math beats buying ZoomInfo + Outreach + Salesloft separately for SMB volume.

Pick Lusha when

  • SDR teams whose outbound mix includes cold calling — mobile-number accuracy is where Lusha differentiates.
  • Recruiters or talent-acquisition teams who need contact phone numbers more than email.
  • Buyers who want a Chrome extension that surfaces contact info on LinkedIn without a full database subscription.
  • Operators targeting verticals (manufacturing, healthcare, finance) where phone is still the dominant outreach channel.
  • Entry pricing matters — $36 vs $59
