Lusha helps you find contacts. Agent Jesse helps you find your next customer — by crawling the live web for companies that match your ICP, the people to reach, and the signal that makes outreach timely. Not just another stored registry.

Why teams switch
Why teams move from Lusha to Agent Jesse.
Discovery stops at what's already in the database.
Lusha is strong at enriching and filtering contacts inside its stored database. But it has no way to surface buyers who aren't in that registry yet. Agent Jesse crawls the live web at search time and returns companies and people — including accounts that don't exist in any prospecting database yet.
Contacts tell you who. Context tells you why now.
Lusha delivers contact info; you still have to figure out why a prospect is worth reaching out to today. Every Agent Jesse lead is discovered because of a live web signal — funding, a hiring surge, rapid growth, an upcoming event, a permit filing — with the context attached.
You pay credits for contacts that are already stale.
Lusha spends a credit the second you reveal a contact — even if that person left months ago. Reviewers keep finding old titles and dead numbers with no refund for a bad reveal. Agent Jesse re-checks every lead against the live web when you search, so credits don't get burned on a snapshot that's already out of date.
Data shouldn't stop at the border.
Lusha's data skews heavily US/UK. Reviewers prospecting in Europe, APAC, or Latin America report thinner coverage and more bounced or disconnected contacts. Agent Jesse surfaces contacts from whatever is publicly live on the web — not filtered by which regions a static database happens to prioritize.
Testimonials
Loved by Founders & Sales Teams
Agent Jesse crawls the live web, so it surfaces accounts that are actively signaling intent right now — a brand launching a new product line, a company hiring a video editor, a D2C brand ramping up paid spend. That context changes everything about how we open conversations.
Our outbound reply rates improved noticeably within the first few weeks of using it.
What impressed me most is that it doesn't just return company names; it gives us context from across the live web that helps us personalize outreach from the very first touchpoint.
For a product like ours that competes on relevance and personalization, it only made sense to apply that same thinking to our own sales motion.
Our team loves how easily we can generate and enrich targeted lists just from an ICP.
I wish I paid for this instead of the hundred dollars for Instantly. I love that AI is helping find the leads and finding companies who are hiring for front desk representatives, and I can reach out to them for AI services. The specific targeting seems really accurate and I can definitely build my lead list for my cold emailing. Thank you!
It finds brands that are scaling their catalog, launching new collections, or expanding into new markets, exactly when they'd consider replacing a traditional photoshoot with our AI solution.
The quality of accounts it surfaces is genuinely better than anything we'd pulled from Apollo or similar tools. It feels less like a database and more like having a researcher on the team.

Questions we get.
What is the best Lusha alternative in 2026?+
Agent Jesse — it searches the live web on every query rather than reading a stored database. That means net-new companies outside any prospecting registry, buying signals attached to every lead, and no credits burned on stale contact reveals.
Is Agent Jesse cheaper than Lusha?+
Yes. Agent Jesse has a free plan and paid tiers starting at $9/mo. Lusha's cheapest paid tier is significantly higher, and phone/enrichment reveals are metered in credits.
Does Agent Jesse work outside the US and UK?+
Yes. Because Agent Jesse crawls the live web instead of reading a US/UK-skewed registry, coverage extends to Europe, APAC, and Latin America wherever the buying signal exists publicly online.
Can Agent Jesse find companies that aren't in Lusha's database?+
That's the point. Agent Jesse discovers accounts at search time from live web signals — funding, hiring, growth, events, permit filings — including companies that no prospecting database has indexed yet.
Do I get intent signals on the free plan?+
Yes. Buying signals drive discovery on every Agent Jesse plan, including the free tier. With Lusha, intent is limited or paywalled on the higher tiers.
