PhantomBuster pricing, plans and alternatives

PhantomBuster lists Start at 69€, Grow at 159€ and Scale at 439€ per month on its monthly toggle, read 19 October 2026, per workspace with unlimited users. The plans differ by execution time, automation slots and credits, not by people. It is a data extraction and automation toolkit more than a finished outreach agent, so the alternatives depend on which job you hire it for.

What PhantomBuster is and what it costs

PhantomBuster runs automations in its cloud that extract data from more than 15 platforms and automate LinkedIn actions, using the user's LinkedIn session cookie. The pricing page opens on the annual view, so the monthly toggle is used here.

Who should stay with PhantomBuster

You want to extract and enrich data from LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Google Maps and other sources, then push it into your own tools.
You want a flat price per workspace with unlimited users, instead of a price per LinkedIn account.
You want to build your own workflows with a public API, webhooks and a hosted MCP server included on every plan, plus Clay, Zapier, Make and n8n.
You want intent signals and AI lead scoring included on every plan including the trial.

Who should look elsewhere

From the vendor's own pages, not from user reviews, which this page does not collect. These describe scope, not faults.

You want an agent that writes, sends and answers. No AI handling of inbound replies is listed, and AI helps write outreach and score leads (phantombuster.com, read 19 October 2026).
You want email sending. Email appears as discovery and enrichment credits, and no email sending is listed.
You want WhatsApp, SMS, voice or live chat. None is listed on the pages checked.
You want a safety model you can read. It uses your session cookie and recommends starting at 10 to 20 invites per working day, as user set guidance rather than enforced caps.
You want to avoid running out of hours. Automations pause when execution time runs out, and no overage is charged.

Where Sellinger fits, and where it does not

Sellinger fits when

You want the finished job done: research, write, send, answer replies and book the meeting, without building workflows.
You want a built in CRM with the conversation history, instead of lists inside a scraper that sync to one.
You want channels beyond LinkedIn: email, WhatsApp, Instagram replies and live chat.
You want a card free start. 30 days free on messaging modules and bundles, no card.

Sellinger is the wrong choice when

You need to extract data from Google Maps, X, Reddit, YouTube or GitHub. PhantomBuster lists those as data sources, and Sellinger is not a general scraper.
You want to build custom automations step by step. A workflow toolkit gives more control than a finished agent.
You need Salesforce or Pipedrive connected today. Sellinger lists Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho as coming soon, with a two way HubSpot sync today.

Switching notes

Export your lead lists and results files from PhantomBuster before cancelling, and note the automations you rely on, since they do not move to another tool.
Annual plans are charged once per year, so time a move to a renewal date.
LinkedIn's own help page on prohibited software, read 19 October 2026, says LinkedIn does not permit third party software that automates activity, and that using it can lead to restricted accounts.
A Sellinger campaign can start in approval mode, so you read the first messages before they go out.
