The short answer

  • Pick PhantomBuster if you want a free plan to start, pay for run time across many automations, or need results sent to your CRM or through an API.

  • Pick Connected Outreach if LinkedIn outreach from one account is the whole job, and you want a flat price with the daily caps written down and a lead finder included.

PhantomBuster figures checked on PhantomBuster's pricing guide on 31 Oct 2026. PhantomBuster's pricing page did not load for our check, so these figures come from its own pricing guide, dated 21 Jul 2026.

A dash means we could not confirm it on their own site. Prices are list prices in the vendor's currency, before tax, and can change, so check before you buy. Product names belong to their owners; Connected Outreach is not affiliated with PhantomBuster or LinkedIn.

Why people switch from PhantomBuster

  • A flat price instead of run time

    PhantomBuster plans are sized by execution hours (20 a month on Start) and slots. Connected Outreach is a flat $29 a month for one account, with the daily caps written down.

  • Leads are part of the plan

    Type a role or paste a LinkedIn people-search link, and the built-in finder adds people to your lead list: 300 finds a month. You can also upload a CSV or add people by hand. No Sales Navigator seat needed.

  • Every run shows its work

    Each run has a live log and a cancel button, and a daily report arrives in Telegram through your own bot.

When PhantomBuster is the better choice

  • You want to start free

    PhantomBuster has a free plan and a 14-day trial with no card. We have neither; we refund your first payment within 14 days instead.

  • You need the data somewhere else

    PhantomBuster sends results to your CRM or data warehouse as CSV or JSON, or through its API. We have no API or integrations.

Switching from PhantomBuster

Can I bring my leads over from PhantomBuster?
Yes, if you can export them. Save the list as a CSV with LinkedIn profile URLs and upload it on the Leads page. You can also add people by hand, or let the lead finder build a new list from a role and a place.
Do I need Sales Navigator?
No. The lead finder, Auto Connect, Message Sender, Auto Liker, Profile Scraper and Outreach sequences all work on a regular LinkedIn account.
Does a sequence stop when someone replies?
No. Our Outreach sequences have no reply detection, so a lead who replies can still get the next message. Keep sequences short and check your LinkedIn messages while one is running.
Is my LinkedIn account safe?
No tool can promise that. Automating LinkedIn is against its terms, so there is always some risk, with PhantomBuster and with us. We keep it lower with fixed daily caps, a random gap between actions (30 to 60 seconds at Normal pace), your own static IP address in your country, and runs that stop when LinkedIn shows a security check or refuses an invite. Pause your PhantomBuster campaigns before you start here, so two tools never act on the same account.
Is there a free trial, and can I cancel?
There is no free trial. If it isn't right for you, ask within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full. You can cancel any time from the billing portal, and your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for.
