Questions before you choose
Why compare email and phone costs separately?
They are separate reveal operations. The Lusha price shown here buys email matches, while phones have a different endpoint and charge. Avoid counting a search result or email match as a verified phone contact.
When should I choose Apollo over Lusha?
Use Apollo’s free People Search to build a shortlist by job title and employer, then enrich selected candidates. Use Lusha email search-and-enrich for LinkedIn URLs or named contacts; use its separate phone endpoint when phone numbers are required.
Can I use Apollo and Lusha together in one AI agent?
Yes, for the listed Apollo and Lusha operations. One Glasser key and balance can access both; your agent still needs to choose and sequence the tools.
Can my agent automatically choose the right provider?
Give the agent explicit rules based on the task, required fields and budget. Apollo: Finding people by role and employer, then enriching a shortlist for outreach. Lusha: Revealing contact channels for known people and monitoring dated company changes. Tool routing is configured in your agent; an API key alone does not decide.
How do I control API spending through Glasser?
Inspect the current endpoint price before running it. Limit returned rows and batch sizes, deduplicate inputs and start with a small sample. Give your agent a spending ceiling and review Run charges; a prompt instruction is not a server-enforced budget cap. Separately connected services bill separately.
Can I use Glasser with Claude Code, Codex and ChatGPT?
Use the Glasser Skill in an agent that can follow skill instructions, or configure the supported MCP connection in your client. CLI access is also available. Client setup and tool permissions still apply; the prompt above starts with the listed Glasser operations.
