Lusha vs ZoomInfo: Which Sales Intelligence Tool Fits Your Business in 2026?

Lusha publishes all four of its pricing tiers, including a genuine free plan. ZoomInfo publishes no list price at all — every deal is sales-quoted, which is the single biggest practical difference between them.

Bottom line up frontby Bill Belcamino, founder of HelpCompare
Editorial assessment

Bottom line up front: Lusha or ZoomInfo: which fits a sales team that wants to see the price first?

Lusha fits a team that wants to start free and see every price, and ZoomInfo fits one that needs the deeper database and intent-data modules and will sit through a sales-quoted deal.

Lusha's free plan gives 40 credits/month, and Starter is $37.45 per seat a month on annual billing ($49.90 monthly) with 400 credits, while ZoomInfo publishes no price at all. Don't choose on database reputation. Take a list of target accounts you already know well, run it through Lusha's free plan while ZoomInfo prepares a quote, and count how many of the right people each one finds. Then send a small batch to the returned emails and watch the bounce rate, because contact data goes stale fast and old addresses burn your sender reputation. Whichever finds more reachable buyers in your market is the one that fits.

Lusha prices in USD from lusha.com/pricing, checked September 23, 2026. ZoomInfo publishes no price; its G2 rating (4.5/5, 8,900 reviews) is the only figure on this row not from its own pricing page, since it has none.

Editorial assessment

How they actually differ

This comparison is really about two different buying models: self-serve and published versus sales-quoted and custom.

How you find out the price

Lusha shows every tier’s price on its pricing page and lets you sign up without talking to sales, even on paid plans. ZoomInfo requires a conversation with its sales team before you learn what any plan costs, and pricing is built around your specific data needs, seat count and which modules (intent data, chat, forecasting) you add.

Database depth

ZoomInfo is widely cited as having one of the largest and most frequently refreshed B2B contact and company databases in the category, reflected in its 4.5/5 rating across 8,900 G2 reviews. Lusha’s database is smaller but sufficient for many self-serve prospecting workflows at a fraction of ZoomInfo’s typical enterprise spend.

Moving between them

Your prospect lists and saved sequences do not transfer between platforms; export your active lists as CSV before cancelling, since each vendor’s contact and company database is proprietary and cannot be pointed at another tool.

What this means for your team

  • Audit reports: both publish a SOC 2 report, and Lusha and ZoomInfo also hold ISO/IEC 27001. Ask each vendor for the report under NDA before you sign; security reviews usually want the latest one.
  • Single sign-on: Lusha includes it on Scale; ZoomInfo includes it. If your team signs in through Okta, Microsoft Entra ID or Google, price the plan that includes SSO, not the entry plan.
  • Working offline: Lusha and ZoomInfo don’t document an offline mode. Details are in the Offline mode row above.

Lusha: worth knowing

  • SecurityLusha makes 2FA mandatory for all paid users (Self-Serve and Enterprise) who sign in with email and password, rather than leaving it as an admin toggle. source
  • SecurityLusha says customer personal data is mainly stored in EU regions, with US data stored in US regions; it does not describe a customer-selectable region. source
  • RemoteGoogle and Office 365 sign-in work on every plan; SAML SSO through Okta or Azure is limited to Scale plans. source
  • SecurityRole-based access (Admin, Manager, User) limits which data and settings each team member sees. source

ZoomInfo: worth knowing

  • SecurityZoomInfo customer data is hosted only in U.S. data centers; no EU or other regional hosting option is published. source
  • SecurityCustomer roles are limited to two built-in types, administrator and user. source
  • RemoteThe iOS app is included for all ZoomInfo customers for looking up company data and prepping meetings on the road. source

Checked September 24, 2026 against each vendor’s own trust center, help docs and app pages. Hover or tap “source” to see the exact wording we relied on. “Not published” means we could not find the vendor saying it on its own site; it doesn’t mean the feature is missing. Plan names are the lowest plan the vendor says includes the feature. Security · Offline · Remote vs office · Download the data
