Wiza's Starter plan runs $49 a month for 100 credits, gone before you've built one list. Wiza is a LinkedIn Sales Navigator export tool that turns search results into verified emails and phone numbers, but it requires its own Navigator subscription, credits expire monthly, and company filtering stays thin. The strongest Wiza alternatives in 2026 are Apollo.io for combined prospecting and outreach, Lusha for direct-dial accuracy, and UpLead for real-time verification.

At a glance

  • Winner: Apollo.io, it replaces Wiza plus a sending tool with one login.
  • Runner-up: Lusha for phone-first outbound needing direct-dial accuracy.
  • Budget pick: UpLead at $99/mo, verified emails with no sending layer.
  • Honest reframe: none of these match Navigator's search quality, they replace what Wiza does with it.

Wiza alternatives compared: price, best for, standout feature

Every tool below replaces some slice of Wiza: exporting Navigator-style searches into emails and phones, minus the second subscription. Apollo and Lusha add outreach or dialing on top. UpLead and RocketReach stay focused on verified contact data alone.

1. Apollo.io

From $49/user/mo (annual) - best for prospecting plus outreach in one tool - 6,000 export credits per user monthly, per Apollo's pricing page.

Verdict Apollo replaces Wiza and a separate sending tool at once, the real saving if you already pay for both.
  • Pulls from Apollo's own database instead of scraping Navigator searches.
  • Bundles sequences, so teams sending 500+ emails/month skip a second login.

Where it falls short: mobile coverage lags Lusha, and unused credits expire monthly.

2. Lusha

From $37.45/user/mo (Starter, annual) - best for phone-first SDR teams - direct dials from the entry tier, per Lusha's pricing page.

Verdict Lusha wins on phone accuracy, not price. Worth the premium if your reps close more on calls than email.

Starter ships 4,800 credits a year with direct dials most competitors gate higher up. Agencies under 20 people cold-calling SMB accounts get more mileage than Wiza's export-only model.

Where it falls short: costs climb fast past Pro, and there's no Navigator export at all.

3. UpLead

From $99/mo ($74 annual) - best for verified-email-only prospecting - real-time verification at export, per UpLead's pricing page.

Verdict UpLead is the pick if you skip phone numbers and sending tools and just want emails you trust.

Every credit verifies in real time before it counts against your plan, cutting bounce risk Wiza doesn't screen for. Founders with ACV above $25K needing a short, accurate list get there faster.

Where it falls short: 170 monthly credits vanish fast on an active push, with no LinkedIn search layer.

4. RocketReach

From $49/mo (monthly) or $829/yr (Pro, annual) - best for high-volume annual contracts - unlimited lookups on annual Pro and up, per RocketReach's pricing page.

Verdict RocketReach makes sense once you've outgrown per-credit math and want one flat annual number.

Monthly plans cap lookups at 100 to 1,000 by tier; annual Pro and Ultimate remove that ceiling. Overage on monthly plans runs $0.30 to $0.45 a lookup, a cost Wiza's flat blocks avoid.

Where it falls short: monthly plans are stingy, so the value only shows once you commit to a year.

FAQ

What is the cheapest alternative to Wiza in 2026?

RocketReach's Essentials plan starts at $49/month, matching Wiza's Starter tier, per RocketReach's pricing page. UpLead's $99/month plan often costs less per usable contact once you add Wiza's required Navigator subscription.

Do Wiza alternatives require a LinkedIn Sales Navigator subscription?

No. Apollo.io, Lusha, UpLead, and RocketReach pull from their own contact databases instead of scraping Navigator search results, the structural difference from Wiza.

Which Wiza alternative is best for phone numbers?

Lusha includes direct-dial credits from its entry Starter plan, per Lusha's pricing page. Apollo.io also offers mobile credits on paid tiers, but coverage skews lower in most G2 reviews.

Is Apollo.io better than Wiza for cold outreach?

For teams actually sending campaigns, yes. Apollo bundles sequences and a sender with its database, so you skip paying for Wiza plus a separate outreach tool plus a Navigator seat.
