Both sell business emails and mobile numbers. Lusha is a global sales platform: a web app, a browser extension, CRM integrations and 26 buying signals, with an MCP alongside. disburse is narrower on purpose, APAC-only and built to be driven by an agent, at a fraction of the cost per contact.
A$4 per 1,000, email or mobile. On Lusha a phone number costs ten credits, an email one.
239 countries and territories against our 13 APAC markets. Outside the region we have nothing.
Web app, browser extension, CRM integrations, sequencing and 26 published buying signals.
Both have an MCP now. The question is whether the agent is the whole workflow or a side door into a UI.

Lusha has a native MCP, so Claude, ChatGPT and Codex can search, enrich and pull signals in plain English. The difference is no longer whether a product works with an agent. It is how central the agent is: disburse has no other interface, and it vectorises the index so a request that maps to no single filter or industry tag still resolves.
USE BOTH WHEN YOU NEED THE WORLD AS WELL AS APAC, OR LUSHA'S SIGNALS ON TOP OF OUR CONTACT DATA.
The cheapest source for APAC emails and mobiles by a wide margin, and search is free, so a miss costs nothing.
Everywhere outside the region, anything disburse missed, and the buying signals and workflow features a platform gives you.
For contact data, yes. On Lusha's entry paid month-to-month Starter plan a verified email costs one credit and a phone number costs ten. Pro-rata, that works out to roughly A$176 per 1,000 emails and A$1,760 per 1,000 phone numbers at the exchange rate used on this page, against A$4 per 1,000 for either on disburse. Lusha includes far more platform functionality in that price, so the fair comparison depends on whether you need those features.
Lusha publishes the larger overall footprint: more than 290 million contacts and 29 million companies globally, including 77.2 million contacts in Asia and 5.2 million across Australia and New Zealand. disburse is APAC-only, with 88 million people and 64 million companies in the region. If global reach matters, Lusha has the clear advantage. If your prospecting is concentrated in Asia-Pacific, coverage of your actual audience matters more than a global total.
Lusha. It publishes 26 buying signals and a much broader set of account intelligence, enrichment and workflow features. disburse carries the standard prospecting signals such as funding and hiring, but its focus is finding the right companies and people and returning contact data at a very low unit cost.
Both work. Lusha's MCP lets an agent search contacts, enrich records and pull signals in natural language. disburse was designed from the outset to be used through an agent rather than through a sales intelligence interface, and it vectorises its index so less structured requests still resolve. A request such as "CEOs of FMCG companies in Australia" is answered from company descriptions, summaries and related industry information rather than a single exact industry tag.
If your priority is low-cost APAC contact data and you already work in Claude, ChatGPT or Codex, disburse covers it. If you need global data, buying signals or sequencing built in, Lusha offers more. Many teams run both in a waterfall: disburse as the cost-effective first source, Lusha for the records it misses and for markets outside Asia-Pacific.
