Recruiter Copilot vs Lusha
One finds the right candidates. The other finds their contact info. Use both for a complete sourcing workflow.
Solving Different Problems
Lusha ($29-$69/month) finds verified email addresses and phone numbers for LinkedIn profiles. Recruiter Copilot ($0-$9/month) provides AI match scoring and skill gap analysis against your job description. They solve different problems and work together for $38/month total.
Lusha is a contact-finding extension. It reveals verified email addresses, phone numbers, and company data for the people you find on LinkedIn. With 800K+ users and CRM integrations, it's an essential tool for outbound recruiting and sales.
Recruiter Copilot is an AI matching overlay. It scores every LinkedIn profile you view against your job description, showing you a match percentage and color-coded skill breakdown (green for matched, red for missing, amber for nice-to-have) in real time.
These tools don't overlap at all. Copilot tells you who to contact. Lusha tells you how to contact them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Copilot and Lusha at the same time?
Yes. Both are Chrome extensions that work on LinkedIn. They operate independently. Copilot handles candidate matching while Lusha handles contact finding. No conflicts.
Does Copilot find email addresses?
No. Copilot does AI candidate-to-JD matching: match scores, skill gap analysis, and verification. For contact information like emails and phone numbers, use a dedicated tool like Lusha or ContactOut.
What's the combined cost?
$38/mo for Copilot Pro ($9) plus Lusha Pro ($29). That's still less than a single LinkedIn Recruiter Lite seat at $170/mo, and you get AI matching plus contact finding.
Do I need both?
It depends on your workflow. If you source candidates and do outbound outreach, both tools help. Copilot finds the right candidates, Lusha finds their contact info. If you only evaluate candidates sent to you, Copilot alone is enough. Start with Copilot's free tier (25 AI verifications and 10 job analyses) to test the workflow.
How does Copilot's matching work?
Upload a job description, then browse LinkedIn profiles. Copilot instantly shows a match score with a color-coded skill breakdown: green for matched skills, red for missing, and amber for nice-to-haves. See our guide for a full walkthrough.
