Lusha is a contact data provider with strong phone numbers, browser extension-first. Scrupp is a LinkedIn + Sales Navigator scraper with built-in email & phone enrichment. Here's the honest side-by-side — including where Lusha still wins.
Quick answer
Lusha is a contact data provider known for phone numbers and a browser extension that works on LinkedIn profiles. Starts at $36/mo with a 5 credits/month free tier. Scrupp works on the same profiles via a similar Chrome extension, but uses a multi-provider waterfall (vs Lusha's single database) and offers pay-as-you-go pricing with no monthly minimum — unlimited free scraping, pay only for enrichment. Pick Lusha if you're an individual SDR doing <50 lookups/month and prioritize phone-first outreach. Pick Scrupp if you need team volume, email+phone combo, or unrestricted scraping.
When each wins
You're an individual SDR or recruiter doing under 50 contact lookups per month and phone numbers are your primary output. You're okay with the 5-per-month free tier and $36/mo entry. Lusha\'s extension fits your 1-profile-at-a-time workflow.
You need team-scale volume — 500 to 10,000 contacts per month. You want email and phone in the same export, bulk search extraction (not just individual profile lookups), and pay-as-you-go pricing. You work across LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, and Apollo, not just individual profiles.

FAQ
About switching from Lusha to Scrupp.
For US B2B, they're comparable. Lusha has historically been phone-first and has unique sources in some verticals. Scrupp's waterfall approach uses multiple providers, which usually beats single-database tools for overall hit rate but may miss some specific numbers Lusha has.
Scrupp has unlimited free scraping — you only pay for successful enrichments (emails/phones). Lusha's 5 credits/month free tier is more restrictive for anyone doing real outbound work.
Yes, on LinkedIn profile pages. It runs similarly — one-click lookup, returns email + phone. The extra capability is bulk search extraction, which Lusha's extension doesn't do.
That's Lusha's database-search UI (similar to Apollo). Scrupp doesn't replicate this — the philosophy is live LinkedIn as the data source instead of a static database. If you rely on Lusha's search UI rather than LinkedIn itself, Scrupp is a different workflow.
At small volume, Scrupp PAYG is 60-80% cheaper. At enterprise volume, they're roughly comparable, but Scrupp doesn't require a contract.
