Where they pull apart

Lusha

Stands out: One-click emails and mobiles straight from the browser, plus a hosted MCP.

Watch out: It finds contacts but does not send, so a sequencer is still needed.

Not the right fit for

Teams that need a sequencer in the same login
Buyers who want a database interface rather than an extension

Surfe

Stands out: Push LinkedIn people into Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive without a CSV: sales-team contact sync, not a bulk finder.

Watch out: Essential is $39 annual / $49 monthly per user. The $29/mo figure is a separate enrichment module, not Essential.

Not the right fit for

Recruiters who only need a bulk email find
Teams without a CRM
People who want unlimited Swordfish-style reveals
