Apollo has no Lusha importer. Export your prospect lists as CSV and re-search for priority accounts in Apollo.
Quick verdict: Move to Apollo if your team’s prospecting volume is uneven or growing past 5 seats, and you want a flat per-seat price that doesn’t depend on monthly lookup volume.
Most buyers only budget for the new subscription. This estimates the hidden labor, data-cleanup, and retraining cost of actually making the switch.
Estimate assumes: 1 hour of data-mapping/cleaning labor per 2,000 records, a blended $75/hr ops rate, tiered migration & cleaning tooling fees, and 4 hours of retraining per seat at a $45/hr fully-loaded rate.
No monthly credit cap forcing an upgrade.
Smooths uneven prospecting months.
No move to custom quoting as you grow.
Apollo’s published entry price is higher per seat than Lusha’s annual-billed Starter price.
