LocalStitch vs. Lusha (2026): Which is Right for You?
Lusha's 300M+ contact database and Chrome extension are great for reaching corporate decision-makers. But the owner of a local salon, HVAC company, or taco shop? They're not in Lusha. LocalStitch finds them.
The Bottom Line
A quick summary before we dive deep.
Local business lead intelligence
Built specifically for finding and enriching local businesses. Google Maps extraction, AI research agents, and waterfall enrichment give you verified contacts at any local business—plumbers, dentists, restaurants, contractors, you name it. Team-wide pricing means one price for your whole team.
B2B corporate contact database
A well-known B2B contact database with 300M+ profiles, a popular Chrome extension for LinkedIn prospecting, and buyer intent data. Affordable per-user plans and strong CRM integrations make it a solid pick for corporate sales teams. But their database skews toward corporate contacts—local SMBs are a major blind spot.
Find the businesses Lusha's database doesn't cover
Lusha's database is built from corporate directories and LinkedIn. That works for enterprise contacts—but the owner of Joe's Plumbing or Maria's Bakery isn't in their 300M profiles. They are on Google Maps.
- Pull any business from Google Maps in seconds
- 3,500+ indexed local business categories
- Location-based search (radius, city, zip code)
- Real-time data, not stale corporate directories
Go beyond contact info—understand each business
Lusha gives you names, emails, and phone numbers. LocalStitch's AI goes further—it researches each business to answer your custom questions, so you can personalize outreach at scale.
- "What services do they offer?"
- "Do they have multiple locations?"
- "What software or tools do they use?"
- Run custom research across your entire list
The Full Breakdown
Different tools for different markets. Here's the honest comparison.
Pricing Comparison
Lusha's per-user pricing is affordable for solo reps. But once your team grows, the per-seat costs add up fast.
10 searches, 25 credits
Unlimited searches, 5K credits
Unlimited searches, 10K credits
Team-wide pricing. One price, unlimited users. Built for local lead discovery with AI research and waterfall enrichment.
50 credits/mo
3,000 credits/year per user
7,200 credits/year per user
Unlimited contacts (fair use)
Per-seat pricing. Annual billing required for best rates. Monthly billing runs ~$37-80/user/mo. Credits are per-user, not pooled.
Pick the Right Tool
Choose LocalStitch if you...
- Sell to local businesses (restaurants, contractors, salons, etc.)
- Need to discover businesses, not just look up existing contacts
- Want AI that researches what each business actually does
- Need phone numbers for business owners, not just corporate emails
- Want team-wide pricing instead of per-seat costs
Choose Lusha if you...
- Sell to corporate companies and enterprise accounts
- Want a Chrome extension for LinkedIn prospecting
- Need buyer intent signals to prioritize accounts
- Want native CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot)
- Are a solo rep who needs affordable per-user pricing
The Bottom Line
Lusha is a solid B2B contact tool—especially for corporate sales. Their Chrome extension makes LinkedIn prospecting effortless, their intent data helps you time your outreach, and their CRM integrations keep your pipeline clean. At ~$22/user/month for Pro, it's one of the more affordable options in the corporate contact space.
But if you sell to local businesses, Lusha's database has a blind spot. The owner of a neighborhood pizza shop, a local roofing company, or an independent dental practice isn't in their 300M corporate profiles. These people aren't on LinkedIn. They're on Google Maps.
LocalStitch is built specifically for local lead generation. Pull any business from Google Maps, enrich with verified phone numbers and emails, and use AI research agents to learn what each business actually does—all at a team-wide price. If your market is Main Street, not Fortune 500, LocalStitch finds the leads Lusha can't.
