What changes when you move from PhantomBuster.
You pay for 100 tools and open three
PhantomBuster's catalog spans LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Google Maps and more. If LinkedIn is the whole job, Connected Outreach's seven Phantoms — connect, like, message, scrape, export, sequence, Sales Navigator — cover it for $29 instead of $69 and up.
The proxy is included, not an add-on
Every Connected Outreach account gets a dedicated static residential proxy, on Starter as well as Pro. With PhantomBuster, a dedicated proxy is an add-on you configure and pay for separately.
Leads without Sales Navigator
Type job titles, locations and industries and the built-in Apify finder returns a clean, deduped list — 200 finds a month on Starter, 2,000 on Pro. No scraper to wire up, no Sales Navigator seat required.
When PhantomBuster is the better choice
If your outreach runs on more than LinkedIn — X, Instagram, Google Maps scraping, or workflows that chain data across platforms — PhantomBuster's 100+ Phantom catalog and its workflow builder are the broader toolkit, and worth the price. Connected Outreach only does LinkedIn and does not try to do anything else.
Questions people ask before leaving PhantomBuster.
Can I import my leads from PhantomBuster?
Yes. Export your lists from PhantomBuster as a CSV — LinkedIn profile URLs are enough — and upload them on the Leads page. Run Profile Scraper on the file to fill in headline, company, seniority and follower count, or skip the import entirely and let Find Leads build a fresh list from job titles, locations and industries.
Do I need Sales Navigator?
No. Find Leads, Auto Connect, Outreach, Auto Liker, Message Sender and Profile Scraper all work on a regular LinkedIn account. Sales Navigator is only needed for the dedicated Sales Navigator Phantom (premium search and list export).
Will my LinkedIn account be safe after switching?
Any automation carries non-zero risk — that is true of PhantomBuster and it is true of us. We reduce it with a dedicated static residential proxy geo-locked to your location, conservative daily ceilings, randomized timing between actions, and a kill switch that halts the run the moment LinkedIn shows a challenge. One practical tip: pause your PhantomBuster campaigns before you start here, so two tools are never acting on the same account at once.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Cancel from Billing at any time and your plan ends at the close of the current period. If Connected Outreach is not for you, ask within 14 days and we refund the payment in full. There is no free trial — it is subscription-only — which is exactly why the guarantee exists.
