When Lusha is the better choice
Lusha wins when phone numbers — especially direct dials — are central to your sales motion.
Pick Lusha if:
- Direct-dial mobile and desk numbers are critical (e.g., cold-calling motions, executive recruiting)
- LinkedIn is your primary prospecting surface and you want a polished Chrome extension to enrich profiles on the fly
- You already have a list of target companies and need to find specific decision-makers inside them
- Your CRM workflow benefits from native sync (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive auto-enrichment)
- You're a US-based team where Lusha's data depth is strongest
When Leadibly is the better choice
Leadibly wins when you need ICP-based company discovery and clean business contacts at the volume side of the funnel.
Pick Leadibly if:
- You're discovering new companies, not enriching known ones
- Your ICP is European SMB or mid-market where Lusha's coverage thins out
- Email outreach is your dominant motion (not cold calling)
- You prefer publicly-sourced GDPR-clean business data over personal-contact databases
- You don't want an annual commitment
Using both together
The natural workflow:
- Leadibly to discover 300-500 European SMBs matching your ICP, with HQ numbers and business emails
- Qualify down to your top 50 priority accounts based on first-touch responses or LinkedIn research
- Lusha to enrich those 50 priorities with direct-dial mobile numbers and personal emails for outbound calling
This is the most common dual-tool setup we see among EU sales teams that work both cold email and cold calling.
Migrating from Lusha to Leadibly
If Lusha doesn't fit your motion anymore (typically: cost too high for current volume, or coverage too thin in your target geography):
- Export your Lusha lists before canceling — they're your data, but extraction is time-bounded
- Map your ICP for Leadibly: industry verticals, geography, size proxies (since Lusha used different segmentation)
- Run a Leadibly search at the same ICP scope and compare contact counts
- Run both for 30 days if budget allows; otherwise switch directly and re-enrich high-priority accounts later
FAQ
Does Leadibly have direct-dial phone numbers like Lusha?
Not at the same depth. Leadibly returns business main numbers (HQ, reception, info lines) that are publicly available. Lusha's specialty is personal mobile and desk direct dials, which requires their proprietary data network. If direct dials are core to your sales motion, Lusha or a dedicated phone-data tool wins.
Why pick Leadibly over Lusha?
Three reasons typically. First, ICP-based discovery: Lusha is contact-centric (find people at companies you already know), Leadibly is company-centric (find companies matching your profile). Second, European SMB coverage is more complete in Leadibly. Third, the pricing model — Leadibly has no annual commitment, Lusha typically requires it on paid plans.
What about Lusha's LinkedIn Chrome extension?
Lusha wins clearly here. Their extension is one of the smoothest LinkedIn enrichment workflows on the market. Leadibly doesn't have an equivalent — we're built around the structured-search workflow, not on-LinkedIn lookups. If LinkedIn-driven prospecting is your primary motion, Lusha is the better tool.
Are there GDPR concerns with Lusha?
Lusha was subject to regulatory inquiries in Europe (notably in 2023) regarding how they source personal contact data. They've made significant compliance improvements since, but the model — collecting personal mobile numbers from various data partners — is intrinsically more sensitive than Leadibly's approach of collecting publicly published business contacts. Worth evaluating against your own compliance posture.
Can I use both Lusha and Leadibly?
Yes, and many EU sales teams do. The workflow: Leadibly to discover and qualify target companies at the ICP level, then Lusha to enrich with direct-dial phone numbers for high-priority accounts. They serve different stages of the funnel.
