When to use what

Use Lusha when…

  • You need to reveal a specific contact you've already found on LinkedIn
  • Your market is well-covered by standard databases (US/EU tech companies)
  • You want intent signals + job-change alerts on accounts you already track
  • Your team is small and a per-seat Chrome extension is the right shape

Use Kuration when…

  • You don't yet have the list — you have a brief, and you need the prospects
  • Your targets aren't in standard contact databases (events, offline markets, emerging regions)
  • You need data from live sources (event pages, PDFs, Google Maps, registries)
  • You work in markets where Lusha has weak coverage (MENA, SEA, Africa, LATAM)
  • You need multi-language extraction (Chinese, Arabic, French, etc.)

Key differences

Lookup vs discovery

Lusha helps you find contact info for people you already know about. Kuration discovers prospects you didn't know existed — from event pages, Maps, PDFs, and registries.

Shared vs proprietary

Lusha sells the same profile to every seat using the extension. Kuration builds databases unique to your brief — your competitors literally cannot reveal the same list.

Credit math vs whole-list pricing

Lusha charges per reveal (1 credit per email, 10 per mobile) — your cost scales with every contact. Kuration prices the engine, not the row: build as many lists as your credits allow.

Coverage depth

Lusha covers well-indexed professionals globally. Kuration covers sources that aren't indexed at all: trade-show exhibitor pages, PDF directories, government registries, offline businesses.

“We 2×'d our qualified calls in 60 days. The event data alone was worth it.”
