Overview
Lusha focuses on fast access to emails and phone numbers, mostly through a browser extension that works on LinkedIn and company websites. It also offers a prospecting database with filters and CRM enrichment.
Its appeal is simplicity. Reps find a person, click once and get contact details without leaving the page.

Pricing
Free plan plus monthly or annual paid tiers based on credits and seats.
For selling to international shippers
Lusha is useful once you have a name. It does not help you find more shippers that resemble the one you just closed.
Verdict
A handy lookup tool. Not built for discovering lookalike prospects in a specific trade niche.
Where SimilarContact is different
Quality, not volume
You get one to three verified contacts per lookup, not a list of thousands to clean up.
Similar to what you want
Matches are picked by industry, company size and location against the prospect you already like.
Built for engagement and intent
Contacts come from companies with real international freight, so the odds of a reply are much higher.
