The verdict
Dealfront is the platform; Lusha is the tool. Dealfront earns its higher price (free Lite, then roughly 99 EUR/mo for Visitor ID and ~399 EUR/mo for the full platform) by doing something Lusha simply does not: de-anonymising your website traffic and grounding everything in an EU-hosted, GDPR-native database of 60M companies and 400M contacts. That combination is hard to beat if Europe is your market.
Lusha wins on accessibility and speed-to-value. A free tier and paid plans from 37.45 USD/user/mo mean a solo founder can be pulling verified contacts on day one without a procurement conversation. Its CRM and sales-engagement integrations (Outreach, Salesloft, Bullhorn) also slot more naturally into an existing outbound stack.
The honest bottom line: if your growth motion is inbound-plus-outbound and EU-focused, Dealfront's visitor ID is the differentiator worth paying for. If you just need a reliable, cheap stream of verified contacts to feed a sequencer, Lusha does that for a fraction of the cost.
