Kavex vs Phantombuster

Per-result Kavex vs hourly Phantombuster pricing. For LinkedIn outbound, Kavex is 5-20× cheaper at typical volumes.

Phantombuster sells social-automation scripts priced by execution time — hourly buckets you size and pre-pay up front. Light and medium users overpay for hours they never burn, and you are still assembling a workflow from individual "Phantoms" by hand.

Kavex charges per result, not per second — only the data you actually receive. A typical 200-profile/week LinkedIn workflow runs on a handful of credits, with no monthly plan to plan around, and Maps + email + AI personalisation in the same account.

Pricing summary

Phantombuster plans: €56/month (20 hours), €128 (80 hours), €352 (500 hours) of Phantom execution time. Kavex: 3 credits ($0.003) per LinkedIn profile, no monthly base fee.

Where Kavex wins
  • Per-result pricing — only pay for the data you actually get
  • No hourly cap to plan around
  • More fields per LinkedIn profile (~26 vs Phantombuster's ~10)
  • Google Maps + 11 other scrapers in the same account

Where Phantombuster wins
  • More mature LinkedIn engagement automations (auto-like, auto-follow, etc.) — Kavex is scrape-only, no engagement actions
  • Twitter automation phantoms (auto-engage, follow back)
  • Better for daily-recurring automations where execution-time pricing makes sense

Frequently asked

Will Kavex add LinkedIn engagement automations?

Not planned. Engagement automations carry much higher account-ban risk than data scraping. We focus on the safer "extract public data" use case.

Can I import Phantombuster CSVs?

Yes. Phantombuster export shape (name, profile_url, headline, etc.) maps cleanly into Kavex configure-page inputs.
