PhantomBuster
What it is
PhantomBuster automates lead sourcing, enrichment, and outreach across live data from more than 15 platforms. It lists more than 100 automations for extracting information, assembling targeted lead lists, and enriching records in real time. Users can filter, clean, score, and segment leads using over 1,000 data points, then automate personalized LinkedIn messages, follow-ups, connection requests, likes, and event invitations. A Chrome extension can reveal contact details on LinkedIn profiles, qualify prospects, and save them to lists or HubSpot. Automations run in the cloud and continue after the browser closes. Its API uses HTTPS endpoints that return JSON and can start or stop automations and retrieve status and output. Integrations include HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Clay, ChatGPT, Zapier, Make, and n8n. The free plan includes five automation slots and two hours of execution time; the Start plan is $56 a month, billed annually. Monthly execution limits pause automations until the allowance resets or the account is upgraded, without automatic overage charges.
