How to choose

  • You only used the Sales Navigator export phantom: pick an exporter. It does one job, and several cost less than PhantomBuster's Start plan.
  • You need emails on export: Evaboot, or any exporter plus your enrichment tool.
  • You ran connection and message sequences: pick an outreach tool, and keep exports separate.
  • You chained many phantoms (profile scrapers, Google Maps, Instagram): PhantomBuster's breadth is hard to replace with one tool.

The rule that applies to every tool here

LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits scraping or copying LinkedIn, including through browser plugins and add-ons. Every tool on this page that exports Sales Navigator data, including Scrapigator, carries account risk.

Vendors describe their safety measures differently (pacing, daily caps, cloud sessions), and some promise no risk at all. No vendor can promise that, because enforcement is LinkedIn's call. Our safety guide covers what the rules say.
