Lusha Alternative
Without the Monthly Credit System

Lusha charges $49-149/month for a credit system that resets whether you use it or not. Rova is a Python script you run on your own machine - one-time $49, no credits, no expiry. Company emails, phones, and LinkedIn from a list of names.

Lusha: $49-149/month (credits expire) Rova: $49 once, yours forever

The Lusha credit problem

Credits expire monthly. Even if you only do outbound seasonally, you pay the same rate every month.
Pricing gates the data you actually need. Direct dials cost 5 credits each on Lusha. You burn through your plan faster on the contacts that matter most.
Browser extension = their data. Lusha stores lookups in their system. Your prospect list becomes their data asset.
Plan limits don't match real usage. 40 credits/month on the free plan covers maybe one good prospecting session.
Price jumps at team level. The moment you need 2+ users, the per-seat cost multiplies quickly.
