Embers vs Lusha. Who they are, and why now.

Lusha reveals contact details with credits. Embers starts earlier: it finds the people engaging with your LinkedIn market, ranks them against your ICP, and says why each one matters, so the reveals you spend go to people who already showed up.

Embers Lusha

What matters most to you?

Embers$49/mo
Lusha$37.45/mo

Lusha starts lower, at $37.45/mo (billed yearly ($49.90 billed monthly)). Embers Solo is $49.

A database says who someone is. Embers says who just raised a hand, and why that matters today.

Verdict

The short answer, both ways.

Many teams keep both.

Where Embers has the edge

  • Who is interested now, from LinkedIn engagement
  • The reason each person surfaced, ranked by ICP fit
  • Spend reveals only on people who already showed up

Where Lusha has the edge

  • Verified emails and phone numbers
  • A low entry price
  • Bulk enrichment and an API

Data and prospecting

The same person, with a reason to write today.

Add timing

Add the timing layer in four steps.

Keep Lusha for coverage. Use Embers to decide who to contact first.

  1. Keep Lusha for coverage

    Lists and contact data stay where they are. Embers starts from public activity, not from a database.

  2. Watch where your buyers show up

    Your posts, your comments, competitor and creator profiles, and keywords in your market.

    How it works

  3. Work a short queue each day

    The Priority Queue ranks leads into Urgent, High priority, and Review, with the next manual action on each.

    How it works

  4. Spend reveals on who earned them

    Contact fields arrive with paid plans when they are found, and HubSpot or a webhook takes the rest.

    How it works
