Saleshandy Connect: The Extension, the Credits, and What a Reveal Proves

Saleshandy Connect is a browser extension that reveals a verified email address, and sometimes a direct phone number, for the LinkedIn profile currently on screen. It is not the integration layer its name suggests, and it is not the same product as Saleshandy Lead Finder, which is the searchable database inside the app. Those two get confused constantly, and the confusion costs money because they draw from the same credit balance in different quantities.

The distinction is simple once stated. Connect works from a profile you have already found. Lead Finder works from a filter set describing profiles you have not found yet.

Everything below is verified against saleshandy.com, its machine-readable pricing document and its Chrome Web Store listing, fetched 15 August 2026. We run Email Bison for sending and HeyReach for LinkedIn, so this is a documentation read rather than an operator's account of the tool.

What Connect does, in the version currently shipping

The current listing is Saleshandy Connect 2.0, described on the Chrome Web Store as a B2B email finder and phone lookup. Saleshandy has published a separate note about sunsetting its legacy extension, so anyone finding an older Connect listing labelled email tracker and lookup is looking at the previous generation rather than the current one. Check the version before troubleshooting anything.

The extension does four things according to Saleshandy's own product pages. It reveals verified business emails and direct dials from a profile. It supports revealing several contacts at once rather than one at a time. It lets you build and tag lists as you go. And it pushes revealed prospects straight into a Saleshandy sequence without a CSV round trip.

That last capability is the actual argument for an extension over an export. The gap between finding a person and having them in a campaign is where most manual prospecting time disappears, and closing it inside the browser removes a file handling step that nobody enjoys and everybody gets wrong occasionally.

The bulk reveal deserves one note of discipline, because it is the feature most likely to spend credits faster than intended. Revealing several profiles at once is convenient precisely because it removes the pause where a person would have decided whether each one is worth a credit. Whatever selection judgement was going to happen has to happen before the button rather than after it, and a list assembled by bulk-revealing everything on screen is a list selected by the search interface rather than by anybody's targeting.

The credit arithmetic, which is the part worth memorising

Saleshandy publishes its pricing in an unusually direct form: a machine-readable document at saleshandy.com/pricing.md, explicitly labelled as a structured summary for AI agents and procurement tools. The figures in it match the rendered pricing page, which makes cross-checking cheap.

The credit rules are the operationally important lines:

• One credit reveals a verified email address.
• Revealing a verified email plus a direct phone number together costs seven credits in total.
• Plan credits refresh monthly, and half of any unused balance rolls into the next cycle.
• The data behind a reveal is described as a waterfall across nine providers, and the published position is that you pay only for verified results.

The seven-to-one ratio is the number that should shape behaviour. A phone number costs seven times what an email costs, which means a prospecting session that reveals phones by default burns a monthly allowance in a seventh of the expected time. On a plan carrying 2,500 credits a month, email-only reveals give you 2,500 contacts and email-plus-phone gives you roughly 357. That is not a criticism of the pricing, it is a reason to make phone reveals a deliberate act rather than a default setting.

Where the credits come from, and what they cost

Connect draws on Lead Finder credits, which are sold in their own plan line rather than bundled into the sending tiers. Saleshandy's published rates are $59 a month for Lead Starter billed monthly, or $49 a month billed annually, carrying 2,500 credits a month; and $99 monthly or $79 annually for Lead Pro, carrying 4,000 credits a month. A custom tier exists above those for high-volume needs.

That structure has a consequence worth spelling out for anyone budgeting. The extension is free to install and comes with a small allocation of starter credits, so the cost of trying it is nothing. The cost of using it in production is a Lead Finder subscription, and it is a separate line from whatever you pay for sending. Saleshandy's outreach plans include unlimited email accounts and no per-seat fee, so the data side and the sending side genuinely are two different bills rather than one bill described twice.

Two versions, and why the older one still turns up

Saleshandy currently ships Connect 2.0 and has published a note about sunsetting its legacy extension, but the older listing has not vanished from the places people find extensions.

The two are distinguishable by name. The current one is listed as Saleshandy Connect 2.0, described as a B2B email finder and phone lookup. The legacy one is listed as Saleshandy Connect: Email Tracker and Lookup, and its emphasis is different in a way that matters: the older generation was built around email tracking, meaning open and click notifications on messages you sent, with lookup as a secondary capability. The current generation leads with the finder.

That distinction causes a specific kind of confusion in evaluation. Somebody reads a review of the tracking-focused version, installs the finder-focused version, and finds the feature they read about behaving differently or sitting somewhere else. Third-party download mirrors and extension-statistics sites index both, often without dating them, so a search result three deep can easily be describing software that is being retired.

Two practical consequences. Check which listing you installed before troubleshooting a missing feature, because a reinstall of the wrong version fixes nothing. And treat any review of Saleshandy Connect older than the 2.0 announcement as describing a different product, particularly on the question of what it does with tracking data.

The wider point generalises past this vendor. A browser extension's version history is genuinely hard to audit from outside, and the store listing rarely says which generation is which. When a vendor's own changelog names a sunset, that changelog is a better source than any review.

What an extension-based reveal can and cannot tell you

The honest limitation of any browser-based finder is that it answers one question about one person at a time, and the question it answers is narrower than it looks.

A revealed email is a candidate address with a verification status attached. It is not evidence that the person still holds the role on the profile, that the mailbox is monitored, or that the domain in the address is the one their team actually uses. Records go stale continuously, which is why data decay is a discipline rather than a footnote, and why a reveal made three months ago deserves a second verification before it enters a campaign.

The second limitation is about how the tool shapes the work rather than the data. Prospecting through an extension means prospecting one profile at a time, and the natural result is a list assembled from whoever appeared in whatever LinkedIn search you happened to run. That is a legitimate way to build a small, high-care list of named accounts. It is a bad way to build a segment, because the selection criterion ends up being the search interface rather than the ideal customer profile. When the requirement is a segment rather than a shortlist, the database side of the product is the right tool and Saleshandy Lead Finder covers it.

Connect, the extensionYou already found the person

• Reveals email and direct dial on a profile in view
• Bulk reveal across several profiles at once
• Tags and lists built as you browse
• Pushes prospects straight into a sequence
• Right for named accounts and warm referrals

Lead Finder, the databaseYou are describing who to find

• Filter-based search across the contact database
• Saved filters for repeatable segments
• Coverage figures published by the vendor
• Same credit balance, spent in bulk
• Right for building a segment from an ICP

The house position on what happens next

Getting a verified address is the easy half. What the address is used for is the half that decides whether the programme works, and it is worth stating our own practice plainly rather than leaving it implied.

At RevenueFlow every campaign carries exactly one message. We do not send bumps and we do not send thread replies, so a second contact is a new campaign with a genuinely different angle rather than another step stacked under the first. Saleshandy's own product is built around multi-step sequences, and Connect's push-to-sequence feature exists to feed them. That is a description of the tool rather than a recommendation, and anyone running a single-message programme should read the sequence integration as a convenient list-loading path rather than as a reason to add steps.

Two neighbours are worth reading alongside this. Cold email software places Saleshandy in the wider category, and best Saleshandy alternatives is the comparison if the evaluation is already heading elsewhere. On the verification side, email verification tools covers what a verification status actually asserts before a revealed address is trusted at volume.

If the useful next step is a campaign rather than another tool evaluation, see what a first campaign looks like.
