What PhantomBuster does
PhantomBuster is an automation platform. You run automations for LinkedIn and other sites, and one of them exports a Sales Navigator search. Email finding uses separate credits: 500 a month on the Start plan. After the 14-day trial, its free plan caps CSV exports at 10 rows.
Best for: growth teams that will use several automations, not only Sales Navigator export.
What Scrapigator does
Scrapigator is a Chrome extension that does one thing: export the Sales Navigator search you have open. It runs from your own browser, paces itself at 2 to 15 seconds per 25 results, and gives you 22 columns per lead as CSV or JSON, or sends them to a Google Sheet or a webhook. There are no other automations to learn or pay for.
Free gives you 100 rows a month. Pro is $8 a month with no monthly row limit and a 7-day money-back guarantee.
A real example
Say you export three searches of about 2,000 leads each month and do nothing else with the tool. On Scrapigator that costs $8 a month. On PhantomBuster you would be on the Start plan at $69 a month, or $56 a month billed annually. If you also run other automations there, the comparison changes, because those come with the same plan.
Which should you choose?
| If you... | Choose |
|---|---|
| You only need Sales Navigator searches in a spreadsheet or CRM | Scrapigator |
| You also automate other LinkedIn or web tasks | PhantomBuster |
| You manage several Sales Navigator accounts in one place | PhantomBuster |
| You want email credits in the same tool | PhantomBuster |
| You want the lowest monthly cost for export | Scrapigator |
Can you use both?
You may not need both. If you already pay for PhantomBuster for other automations, its export may be enough. If export was the only thing you used it for, Scrapigator does that one job for $8 a month.
