Which one is for you

Pick Evaboot if

  • Fits if you already pay for Sales Navigator and want emails attached to the lists you build
  • Works for teams that share one credit balance, as seats are unlimited

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you have no Sales Navigator seat, because it only exports your own searches
  • Tight if you want to try before paying, as there is no free plan or trial
  • Not for you if you need phone numbers, as the FAQ sends you to another product for those
  • Watch out: a lead with no email found still costs 1 credit, and a yearly plan cannot be cancelled before its term ends

Pick PhantomBuster if

  • Fits if your leads come from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator searches
  • Works for HubSpot users who want LinkedIn leads synced both ways, without writing code

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if lots of lookups come back empty, as each attempt uses an email credit and credits reset monthly
  • Not for you if you use Salesforce or Pipedrive and want two-way sync, and Salesforce needs its Enterprise edition
  • Skip it if you just need the odd email, as it's built for repeat workflows
  • Tight if you're staying free or on the trial, as exports and API output stop at 10 rows
  • Watch out: these prices come from its July 2026 pricing guide, as its pricing page couldn't be read

How we grade them

2.2GPAEvabootFair2.6GPAPhantomBusterGood
Value for money
B$9 a month for 100 credits is under the $33.25 the cheaper quarter of lead finders charges, but 100 credits is 100 leads, and Sales Navigator is a separate bill. $29 buys 400 and $49 buys 1,000.
AStart is $56 a month billed yearly for one shared workspace, about $11.20 a head for five, under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter ($34). It buys 20 run hours, 5 automation slots, 500 email credits and 10,000 AI credits a month.
Free plan and trial
FThe pricing page states no free trial and there is no free plan.
CA free plan with 30 minutes of running time and 1 slot a month, and a 14-day trial with no card. Both cap exports at 10 rows, which makes them a demo.
Features
CExports up to 2,500 leads per search, looks up and verifies emails, and enriches LinkedIn URLs. It needs a Sales Navigator seat and its FAQ says it finds no phone numbers.
CPhantoms for LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Facebook, X and Instagram, multi-step workflows, an email finder, a Chrome extension and two-way HubSpot sync. The gaps: it pulls from other sites rather than a database, and Salesforce sync is one-way.
Ease of use
BNo store rating on record. It is an extension that adds an export button inside Sales Navigator, so there is little to set up beyond your own account.
CNo App Store rating on record, and this is a tool where you build the automations and chain the steps yourself. No code needed, but there's a learning curve.
Platforms and integrations
BChrome extension and web app, with pushes to HubSpot, Pipedrive, Apollo, lemlist, Instantly and Clay, plus an API and an MCP connection. No desktop or phone app.
BWeb and a Chrome extension, with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, lemlist and Hunter, plus an API. No desktop or phone apps.

Key features

Evaboot

Sales Navigator export
A button added to Sales Navigator exports lead and account searches, lists and saved searches. One search can return up to 2,500 leads or 1,000 companies.
Email finder and verifier
Every exported lead gets an email lookup with verification. A lead with no email found still costs 1 credit, while the standalone Email Finder charges only when it finds one.
LinkedIn URL enrichment
Enriches a bulk list of LinkedIn profile URLs, so contacts do not have to come from a Sales Navigator search.
Data cleaning and filtering
The plan lists include data cleaning and lead filtering on top of the export.
CRM and outreach integrations
Pushes leads to HubSpot, Pipedrive, Attio, Apollo, lemlist, Instantly, Clay, Google Sheets or a custom webhook.
API and MCP access
An API and an MCP connection let scripts and AI agents launch exports and find emails.

Email discovery
A built-in email finder, run on BetterContact's waterfall enrichment, or a connected Hunter, Snov.io or Dropcontact account using its own API key.
Chrome extension
Shows emails, phone numbers and company details on a LinkedIn profile when clicked, and saves the lead to PhantomBuster or HubSpot.
HubSpot sync
A two-way HubSpot connection that sends leads, enriches contacts, finds their LinkedIn profiles and tracks job changes.
Zapier, Make and API

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
