Switching from ZoomInfo to Lusha

Lusha has no ZoomInfo importer. Export what data you can from ZoomInfo and re-search priority accounts in Lusha; Lusha’s smaller database may not match ZoomInfo’s full coverage.

Bottom line up front: Can a team replace ZoomInfo with Lusha without losing its pipeline?

Often, if Lusha covers your target accounts, and you trade ZoomInfo's depth and intent data for a published price that starts free and runs $37.45 per seat a month on Starter.

Nothing imports, and Lusha's database is smaller, so re-search your priority accounts on the free plan's 40 credits/month before you commit. Two contract checks come first. Find your ZoomInfo renewal date and notice window, since enterprise data contracts commonly renew unless you give notice in time, and read what your agreement says about using exported records after it ends, because data licences often limit that. Then plan lookups: Lusha caps credits monthly, so decide who spends them and on which accounts, or your heaviest user drains the pool early in the month.

    How the migration actually works

    Lusha’s database and advanced intent-data features are narrower than ZoomInfo’s.

    StepWhat you do
    1Export your prospect listsDownload your saved lists, sequences and key contact records as CSV from the old tool.
    2Sign up for LushaStart on the free plan or Starter, and install the Chrome extension.
    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:

    ZoomInfo’s intent-data modules and database depth have no full Lusha equivalent — verify Lusha’s coverage of your target accounts before committing.

    Before you cut over

    • Set up single sign-on in Lusha on Scale before you invite the team, so accounts are created through your identity provider rather than by hand.

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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does ZoomInfo data import into Lusha?

    No. There is no automatic import between the two.

    Will I save money?

    Likely, if your ZoomInfo contract was enterprise-priced — Lusha’s published Starter tier is $37.45/seat/mo.

    Will Lusha have the same contacts I had in ZoomInfo?

    Not guaranteed — check coverage of your specific target accounts before fully switching, since Lusha’s database is smaller.

    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.
