Where GrabProspect is the better choice

Priced per LinkedIn account, not by machine time: a big scrape doesn’t burn through an hours quota.
The query splitter breaks a Sales Navigator search over 2,500 results into pieces that each fit, checks every piece’s live count and saves the leads, so big markets aren’t cut off at 2,500.
Follow-ups stop the moment someone replies, and every reply lands in one inbox you can answer from.
Invites your connections to follow your company Page (250 a month from a Page admin’s account, 50 from others) and keeps the follower list in sync.
A live view shows what every LinkedIn account is doing right now: working, on a break, or waiting for you to enter a sign-in code.

Where PhantomBuster is the better choice

Automations for many sites beyond LinkedIn, and flexible chaining of steps.
Email credits and AI credits for enrichment.
Strong integrations and an API.

GrabProspect vs PhantomBuster: questions

Is GrabProspect cheaper than PhantomBuster?

PhantomBuster is priced differently ($69 a month (Start, 20 execution hours)). GrabProspect is $29 a month for one LinkedIn account with every module, $67 for three. Prices checked in October 2026.

Can PhantomBuster scrape Sales Navigator searches with more than 2,500 results?

Sales Navigator only shows the first 2,500 results of any search. PhantomBuster’s site doesn’t list a way to split a bigger search. GrabProspect’s query splitter breaks it into smaller searches that each fit, checks every piece’s live count and saves the leads.

What does PhantomBuster do that GrabProspect doesn’t?

Automations for many sites beyond LinkedIn, and flexible chaining of steps. Email credits and AI credits for enrichment. Strong integrations and an API.

How do I move from PhantomBuster to GrabProspect?

Export your leads from PhantomBuster as a CSV, start the 7-day free trial (no card), connect your LinkedIn account and upload the list as a custom list for invites, or paste your Sales Navigator search links to scrape them again. Your sequences can be rebuilt with the same steps and wording.

Is GrabProspect or PhantomBuster safer for my LinkedIn account?

No tool can promise LinkedIn will never restrict an account. GrabProspect keeps each account at a human pace: a different start minute each day, short irregular gaps between actions, daily and weekly caps, and it stops for the week when LinkedIn’s weekly invitation limit is reached.
