What is Lusha?

Lusha is a B2B contact data and sales intelligence platform. It gives go-to-market teams verified emails and phone numbers for target buyers, plus dated buying signals (job changes, funding events, hiring surges) scored against a company's ideal customer profile. Access comes through a Chrome extension for LinkedIn and company sites, a standalone workspace, a REST API, native CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, monday, Zoho), and direct connectors for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity via MCP.

Lusha is a B2B data platform with 290M+ verified contacts and 29M+ companies, including 87.8M contacts in the United States. Sales, marketing, and recruiting teams use it to reveal work emails and direct-dial phone numbers via a Chrome extension, a web workspace, an API, or directly inside Claude and ChatGPT through MCP. It layers 26 weekly-refreshed buying signals (funding, hiring surges, leadership changes) and ICP-based AI recommendations on top of the raw contact data.

Standout feature: Direct MCP connectors for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, so an AI agent queries the same verified 290M-contact database and 26 buying signals that reps see in the workspace, without copy-pasting exports.

Biggest weakness: Paid tier pricing is not published on the site: only the Free plan (40 credits/month) has stated terms, and anything above 5 seats or the entry paid plan routes to a sales conversation, so buyers cannot compare cost per contact against competitors without submitting contact details first.
