What your DitLead plan includes

Sending emails does not use lead credits. Email sending is unlimited on all paid plans. Your mailbox provider’s limits and campaign pacing still apply.

1 credit = 1 email verification; 5 credits = 1 lead reveal; 15 credits = 1 Auto Outreach email research. Starter: 10,000, Team: 50,000, Popular: 150,000 lead credits per month. Agency: custom allowance agreed with sales.

Connect additional LinkedIn accounts as needed. Team includes 1 account, then $7 per extra account/month; Popular includes 5, then $5 per extra account/month. Agency includes 15; contact sales for additional accounts. Connection availability does not mean accounts are free.

Auto Outreach is included on every paid plan. AI Sales Rep reply automation is included on Popular and Agency, with beta access on Team. See current plans and allowances · Explore Auto Outreach.

Where they fall short4 entries

Where Lusha falls short — and how DitLead handles it

A contact you can't reach is worthless

Lusha reveals an email and phone, then leaves sending, warmup and follow-up to other tools.

DitLead

Native email, LinkedIn and calls with branching, plus a 55K+ warmup network so messages actually land.

Lusha

No sending. No warmup.

Credits cap your prospecting

Lusha's reveals are metered; heavy months get expensive fast.

DitLead

700M+ database with lead reveals charged at 5 credits each from your plan allowance.

Lusha

Per-credit, tier-capped reveals.

Smaller, narrower data

Lusha's dataset is solid for direct dials but narrower overall than a 700M+ continuously re-verified set.

DitLead

700M+ contacts with hiring, funding and tech-stack intent and lead reveals at 5 credits each.

Lusha

Smaller dataset, intent limited.

No motion, no CRM

After the reveal there's no sequence, no inbox and no pipeline.

DitLead

One workspace: sequences, unified inbox, outbound-first CRM and AI agents.

Lusha

Extension + export.

When Lusha still wins

We're not the right tool for every team. If any of these is you, stay on Lusha with our blessing.

You only need a quick reveal extension

You have very low monthly volume

For occasional one-off lookups, Lusha's free tier may be enough.
