Best PhantomBuster Alternatives in 2026

PhantomBuster sells outbound automation by the slot and by the hour. Its Start plan gives you 5 automation slots and 20 hours of execution time a month for 56 euros, and the email credits that turn a profile into an address are metered on top of that, 500 a month on that plan. Most people searching for PhantomBuster alternatives are not unhappy with the automations. They are paying for execution time in order to get contact data, and a contact data tool sells that directly. This page groups the alternatives by the job you are actually trying to do, prices each one from its own pricing page as read today, and says who should stay put.

What PhantomBuster charges for

PhantomBuster's pricing page, which served this comparison in euros, lists four plans. The free Trial carries 5 automation slots, 2 hours of execution time, 50 email credits, 1k AI credits and exports limited to 10 rows. Start is 56 euros a month, or 672 euros billed annually, for 5 automation slots, 20 hours of execution time a month and 500 email credits a month. Grow is 128 euros a month, or 1,536 euros billed annually, for 15 slots, 80 hours a month and 2,500 email credits. Scale is 352 euros a month, or 4,224 euros billed annually, for 50 slots, 300 hours a month and 10,000 email credits. Every plan lists unlimited users, and annual billing is marked as a 20% saving.

Three meters run at once on that ladder: how many automations you can keep configured, how many hours they may run, and how many addresses you can resolve. A team that only wants the third meter is buying the first two for nothing. That is the whole case for looking elsewhere.

What are the best PhantomBuster alternatives?

It depends on which meter you were paying for. If you want contact details from LinkedIn profiles one at a time, Kaspr and Lusha sell that through a browser extension from $49 and $37.45 a month. If you want a whole Sales Navigator search turned into a list with emails, Wiza and Evaboot are built for exactly that. If you want the database and the sending in one place, Apollo.io publishes a ladder from free to $119 a seat. If you want automation you can shape yourself, Clay charges per action rather than per hour.

The sections below take each tool in turn. Every price is the one on the vendor's own pricing page today, attributed to that page, and the thing each entry price does not include is called out, because that is where the PhantomBuster bill usually came from.

Kaspr

Kaspr is a LinkedIn extension for phone numbers and email addresses, with lead management, bulk enrichment and CRM sync. Its pricing page lists a Free plan at $0 with 15 B2B email credits a month, a Starter plan at $49 a month per user billed annually or $65 monthly, and a Business plan at $79 annually or $99 monthly. Both paid plans list unlimited B2B email credits; what changes between them is the phone side, 100 phone credits and 5 direct email credits a month on Starter against 200 and 200 on Business. The page also caps exports at up to 12,000 enriched leads a year. For a team whose PhantomBuster bill was mostly email credits, unlimited B2B email credits on the $49 plan is the number to weigh, and the kaspr vs phantombuster pair page walks that trade in detail.

Lusha

Lusha sells the same reveal-from-a-profile job on a credit ladder. Its pricing page lists a Free plan at $0 with 40 credits a month and 1 seat, then Starter at $37.45 a month billed yearly with 4,800 credits a year, Pro at $52.45 with 7,200 credits a year, and Premium at $299.95 with 40,800 credits a year, all with credits granted upfront and yearly billing marked 25% off. The credit table on the same page prices an email at 1 credit and a phone number at 5 credits, so a plan's headline count is an email count, not a phone count. Lusha is the cheapest paid entry in this group, and the one whose credits run out fastest if phones are what you need. The Lusha and PhantomBuster comparison covers the two credit systems side by side.

Wiza

Wiza takes a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search and returns it as a list with verified emails and phones, which is the job most PhantomBuster users were doing with an automation slot and a bulk of execution time. Its pricing page publishes two ladders. Billed monthly: Starter at $49 per user with 100 valid emails a month and $0.15 per extra, Email at $99 with 500 valid emails a month, and Email + Phone at $199 with 500 emails and 500 phone numbers a month. Billed yearly: Email at $83 a month per user, billed at $990 a year, with unlimited email reveals, and Email + Phone at $166, billed at $1,990 a year. A Free plan at $0 lists 20 valid emails and 5 phone numbers. Yearly buyers also get 2,500 exports a month. The PhantomBuster and Wiza pairing is the closest like-for-like in this list.

Evaboot

Evaboot does one thing: it exports a Sales Navigator search, cleans the rows against the filters you used, and finds and verifies emails. Its pricing page reads "Pay per lead. Not per seat, not per feature." and starts at $9 a month for 100 credits, $0.09 per credit, billed annually; the slider goes up from there. A lead exported costs 1 credit and a lead with an email costs 2, so 100 credits is 50 leads with emails. You need your own Sales Navigator seat. For a small team that only ever ran the Sales Navigator export in PhantomBuster, this is the cheapest way to keep doing it; the Evaboot versus PhantomBuster page shows the arithmetic at higher volumes.

Apollo.io

Apollo.io is the alternative for teams that want the database, the enrichment and the sending in one product. Its plan cards exist only in the rendered page (the static HTML carries no price), and read today: Free at $0 with 900 credits per seat per year, Basic at $49 per seat per month billed annually with 30,000 credits per seat per year, Professional at $79 with 48,000, and Organization at $119 with 72,000 credits and a minimum of 3 seats. Annual billing is marked as a 24% saving. Apollo's credits cover both data and its sending features, so the number to check is how many of them your outbound would actually consume. The apollo vs phantombuster pair page sets the two credit systems against each other.

Clay

Clay is the alternative for people who liked building their own workflows in PhantomBuster and want more control, not less. Its pricing page bills by action rather than by execution hour: the Launch plan card shows $167 a month on annual billing, starting at 15,000 actions a month or 180,000 a year, and the page's own FAQ gives the month-to-month list as starting at $185. The $54 and $60 shown on the card are the action component of those two prices, not cheaper plans. There is a 14-day trial. Clay orchestrates other providers (including several on this page) rather than owning the data, so the action price is on top of whatever the providers charge inside it. The Clay and PhantomBuster comparison explains where the action meter bites.

Surfe

Surfe sits inside LinkedIn and the CRM and finds emails and mobiles on demand. Its pricing page lists Free at $0 with 20 email find credits and 5 mobile find credits a month, Essential at $49 a user a month billed monthly or $39 billed annually with 150 email and 50 mobile credits a month, and Pro at $89 monthly or $79 annually with 1,000 email and 100 mobile credits a month. A separate "Surfe for CRM connector" module is listed at $29 a month. Surfe is the pick when the person doing the prospecting works from the CRM record rather than from a list.

Where the entry price stops

The generator version of this page called every one of these tools free. Today's pricing pages say something more useful: each has a free tier that is a sample, and each paid entry plan meters a different thing.

Tool	Entry paid plan	What it meters	Free tier
PhantomBuster	Start, 56 euros a month	5 slots, 20h a month, 500 email credits	Trial, 10-row exports
Kaspr	Starter, $49 annual	Unlimited B2B emails, 100 phone credits	15 email credits a month
Lusha	Starter, $37.45 yearly	4,800 credits a year, phones cost 5	40 credits a month
Wiza	Starter, $49 monthly	100 valid emails a month	20 emails, 5 phones
Evaboot	$9 a month, annual	100 credits, 2 per lead with email	None listed
Apollo.io	Basic, $49 a seat annual	30,000 credits a seat a year	900 credits a seat a year
Clay	Launch, $167 a month	15,000 actions a month	14-day trial
Surfe	Essential, $39 annual	150 email, 50 mobile finds a month	20 email, 5 mobile a month

Two of those meters deserve a second look. Wiza's "unlimited email reveals" is on the yearly Email plan, which is $990 up front; the monthly Starter counts emails. Kaspr's unlimited B2B email credits are on both paid plans, but the exports cap of 12,000 a year sits underneath them, so a team running large lists will hit that before it hits the credit line.

A worked month, labelled illustrative

Take a two-person team that needs about 500 verified emails a month from LinkedIn searches and nothing else. The figures below are the pricing pages' own numbers combined; they are an illustration, not a quote, and the reality depends on match rates and on what each vendor counts as a valid email.

On PhantomBuster Start, 500 email credits is the plan's whole monthly allowance, so the 56 euros buys the target with no headroom, plus automation slots and hours the team does not need. On Wiza, the monthly Email plan at $99 lists 500 valid emails, the same target with the same zero headroom, while the yearly Email plan at $83 a month lists unlimited reveals. On Kaspr Starter, $49 a month annual, B2B email credits are unlimited and the only cap in play is 12,000 exports a year, which 500 a month never reaches. On Evaboot, 500 leads with emails is 1,000 credits, ten times the $9 entry step, and the page's slider prices the higher steps rather than the entry line, so the figure has to be read off the page for your own volume.

How to choose between them

Start from the meter, not the brand. Write down what PhantomBuster actually consumed for you last quarter: email credits, execution hours, or the number of automations you kept live. If credits dominated, the extension tools (Kaspr, Lusha, Surfe) and the export tools (Wiza, Evaboot) are cheaper ways to buy the same thing. If hours and slots dominated because automations ran on a schedule, none of the data vendors replaces that, and Clay is the only one on this page that sells scheduled, self-built work.

Then check the second meter on your shortlist. Every vendor here has one: exports a year on Kaspr, phones at 5 credits on Lusha, emails a month on Wiza's monthly plans, actions on Clay, a 3-seat minimum on Apollo's Organization plan. The entry price is never the whole price.

Finally, look at where the person works. A rep who lives in the CRM record wants Surfe or Apollo. A rep who lives in Sales Navigator wants Wiza or Evaboot. An SDR working profile by profile wants Kaspr or Lusha. A revenue operations person building lists for other people wants Clay.

Who should stay on PhantomBuster

Two kinds of team should not switch. The first runs always-on automations that touch several sources, where the slot and hour meters are the product and the email credits are incidental; nothing above sells that shape. The second is any team on the Trial or Start plan whose real need is a handful of lists a quarter, because 56 euros for 500 email credits with unlimited users is not a bad price for occasional use, and the switching cost of a new tool is real.

Everyone else was paying for execution time to get contact data. Buy the contact data. And if what you actually want is the list built, verified and worked for you, the free campaign is the fastest way to see what that looks like on your own market.
