The short version

  • Only Lusha has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Level AI pricing combines a per-agent fee, a platform licence and usage-based components, so the number quoted per agent is not the number you pay and budgets set from a per-seat figure alone come in short.; Lusha teams over 5 users must contact sales for configuration; no published per-user limits for standard plans
  • They diverge on capability: Level AI covers Automated QA scoring, Lusha covers Contact database.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Level AI

  • Pricing combines a per-agent fee, a platform licence and usage-based components, so the number quoted per agent is not the number you pay and budgets set from a per-seat figure alone come in short.
  • Integration to each contact centre or CRM system is charged as a separate implementation fee, which means a team running voice on one platform and chat on another pays twice before a single interaction is scored.
  • The unit economics do not work below roughly a hundred agents; smaller teams get quoted enterprise minimums that cost more than the QA analyst they were trying to avoid hiring.
  • Automated scores are only as good as the scorecard behind them, and the calibration work to get semantic questions scoring consistently falls on your QA team over several weeks before anyone trusts the output.
  • Transcription and semantic accuracy degrade on heavily accented speech, poor telephony audio and languages outside the main supported set, so multilingual operations often end up running manual QA in parallel for some queues anyway.

Lusha

  • Teams over 5 users must contact sales for configuration; no published per-user limits for standard plans
  • Unused credits on monthly plans roll over but cap at twice the monthly limit, creating potential waste
  • Annual plans do not roll over unused credits; they reset at cycle end

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Level AI: Does Level AI publish pricing?

No. Quotes are built per deployment from agent count, channel mix and product modules, and integration fees are added on top.

Lusha: What does Lusha's Free plan include?

Lusha's Free plan provides 40 credits per month at no cost. It includes basic prospecting features, browser extension access, and CRM integrations. Credits are used for email reveals (1 credit per contact) and phone numbers (10 credits per contact).

Source
Level AI: Can it replace our QA analysts?

It replaces the sampling and scoring work, not the judgement. Teams typically keep analysts for calibration, disputes and coaching design.

Lusha: How do Lusha credits work and what is the credit rollover policy?

Lusha uses a credit system where email reveals cost 1 credit and phone reveals cost 10 credits per contact. On monthly plans, unused credits roll over and accumulate up to twice your monthly credit limit. Annual plans reset unused credits at the cycle's end without rollover.

Source
Level AI: Does it work without a cloud contact centre platform?

It needs recordings and metadata from somewhere. If your telephony does not expose those through an integration or API, this is not a fit.

Lusha: What is the annual pricing for Lusha plans?

Lusha offers annual pricing at a discount: Starter is $449.10/year (4,800 credits annually), Professional is $587.16/year (7,200 credits), and Premium is $3,119.21/year (40,800 credits). Annual plans are cheaper per credit than monthly but do not roll over unused credits.

Source
Level AI: How long does implementation take?

Expect weeks, not days. Connecting systems is quick; getting scorecards calibrated to the point where team leaders act on the scores takes longer.
