Switching from Lusha to ZoomInfo

ZoomInfo has no self-serve import from Lusha. Export your lists as CSV and bring them to your ZoomInfo onboarding call — a sales rep sets up your account and pricing.

Quick verdict: Move to ZoomInfo if you need its larger, more frequently refreshed database and advanced intent-data modules, and you’re ready to go through a sales-quoted purchase rather than a self-serve signup.

    Widely regarded as one of the best in the category.

    Advanced intent-data modules

    Sold as add-ons for deeper sales signals.

    How the migration actually works

    ZoomInfo publishes no price, so you cannot budget exactly until you’ve gone through a sales conversation.

    StepWhat you do

    2Request a ZoomInfo quoteTalk to ZoomInfo’s sales team about your seat count, data needs and which modules you want.
    3Reconnect your CRMRe-link Salesforce, HubSpot or your CRM of choice so contacts and activity sync automatically.
    4Re-import your priority accountsSearch for your highest-priority accounts in the new tool to rebuild verified contact data.
    5Reconnect sequences and outreach toolsRe-link any connected sales-engagement or CRM sync you relied on in the old tool.
    6Cancel the old planOnce your team is prospecting comfortably in the new tool, cancel the old subscription.

    What this path doesn’t do for you:

    Lusha’s instant self-serve signup and published pricing have no ZoomInfo equivalent — expect a sales cycle before you have access or a final price.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I sign up for ZoomInfo online?

    No, based on its published pricing page — you request a quote and a sales rep sets up your account.

    Will it cost more than Lusha?

    Likely, but there’s no published price to confirm — compare your ZoomInfo quote directly against Lusha’s published $37.45/seat/mo Starter tier.

    Does Lusha data import into ZoomInfo?

    No. Bring your exported CSV lists to your onboarding call for reference; there is no automatic import.

    Do my saved prospect lists transfer?

    No. Export your active lists and sequences as CSV before cancelling — each vendor’s contact database and saved searches are proprietary and don’t move between platforms.
