Why Persana is Better Than Lusha for Your Sales Team and GTM Process

Persana offers 75+ data providers to maximize data, email and phone number coverage so you reach the right prospects with updated info.

Best Lead Quality in the Market

In third-party benchmarks, Persana consistently outperforms Lusha in lead quality and data accuracy.


Lusha relies on its internal database, which can lead to outdated or incomplete information and doesn’t offer comprehensive data enrichment.

Automation with AI-Driven Precision and Sales Triggers

Persana’s advanced AI automatically triggers outreach based on job changes, hiring trends, and social media interactions. Your team can build high intent prospects list quickly for more positive replies and meetings booked.


Lusha doesn’t provide any AI-driven sales triggers or real-time alerts, leaving your team with manual processes and less timely outreach.

Add Unlimited Team Members

With Persana, you can add as many team members as needed on any paid plan—at no extra cost. Whether your team is 10 people or 100, your pricing stays consistent.


Lusha charges per seat, which increases costs as your team scales. The more team members you add, the more expensive it becomes which limits your team's ability to use it.

Best Integrations to Maximize Efficiency

Persana integrates seamlessly with over 30+ industry-leading tools, including Smartlead, Instantly, BetterContact, and others. These integrations allow you to streamline your workflow and automated your outbound process.


Lusha offers only basic integrations, limiting your ability to fully leverage your tech stack and making it harder to automate and scale your processes

Email Waterfall Feature

Persana’s email waterfall feature allows you to gather the most accurate email contact information from multiple data sources, ensuring you get maximum coverage for your outreach. This helps your sales team target the right prospects without wasting time on outdated or incomplete data.


Lusha does not offer an email waterfall, so you’re restricted to their internal database, which can lead to incomplete data and missed opportunities.

Premade Playbooks and Templates

With Persana, you get access to 10+ ready-to-use Sales playbooks that have been proven to work across industries. These playbooks allow your team to launch GTM campaigns without starting from scratch, saving valuable time and resources.


Lusha doesn’t provide pre-built playbooks, requiring your team to manually create and refine outreach strategies manually

What should you choose?

While Lusha is a basic tool for contact search, Persana offers far superior features, including AI-powered research, advanced automation, and best-in-class lead quality. With Persana, you get better flexibility, automated sales triggers, and real-time data enrichment, making it a more comprehensive solution for growing sales teams.
Persana’s cost-effective pricing, with no additional seat charges, makes it an even stronger choice for teams looking to scale without breaking the budget. Plus, Persana's seamless integrations, proven sales playbooks, and real-time sales signals like job changes and social activity help your team engage leads more effectively.
