The short answer
Pick Sendsets if you want verified contacts, email verification and cold email sending in one tool, on a monthly plan from $29.
Stay on Lusha if you look up a handful of contacts a day from LinkedIn and do not need list building or sending in the same tool.
Why teams look for a Lusha alternative
- Credits run out
- Starter's 400 credits cover 400 emails, or 80 phone numbers at 5 credits each. A list of a few thousand people takes a higher tier or several months.
- It finds contacts but does not email them
- Lusha stops at the contact. Verification beyond its own, warmup and sending live in other tools you pay for separately.
- Per-seat growth
- Each extra user adds cost, and teams over five go to a sales-led plan.

What you get with Sendsets
- 420M+ B2B contacts with work emails and phone numbers, searchable by job title, industry, company size and location. See the full breakdown of the data.
- Verification before you send. Emails get a live SMTP check with catch-all detection, so a stale address does not bounce and hurt your sender reputation (how verification works).
- Sending in the same tool. Connect mailboxes, warm them up and run sequences without a second subscription (cold email).
- One flat monthly price. No annual contract and no per-seat fee on top.
What Sendsets does not have: intent data, a built-in dialer or org charts. If those are central to how your team sells, weigh that before switching.

Start with SendsetsLusha alternative FAQ
What is the best Lusha alternative?
It depends on what you use Lusha for. If you need verified emails for a defined list of companies and want to email them from the same tool, Sendsets covers that from $29 a month. If you depend on quick lookups on a LinkedIn profile through the browser extension, Lusha may still be the better fit.
How much does Lusha cost?
$49.90 a month (Starter, 400 credits). From Lusha's own pricing page. An email reveal costs 1 credit and a phone number 5, so the number of contacts you get depends on the mix.
Is there a free Lusha alternative?
Lusha's own free option is: free plan: 40 credits a month. Free tiers across this category are small, usually tens of contacts a month, which is enough to test data quality but not to run a campaign.
Can I bring my Lusha lists into Sendsets?
Yes. Export your saved lists or CRM records as a CSV, upload them to Sendsets to verify and fill missing fields, then rebuild your saved searches with the same title, industry, size and location filters.
Does Sendsets have intent data?
No. Sendsets focuses on verified contact data and sending. Teams that buy on intent signals usually keep a dedicated intent provider alongside it.
