I Tested 7 Best Evaboot Alternatives and Here is the Winner 🏆

Evaboot does give you clean leads from Sales Navigator, then smacks you with a $50 bill for every 1000 leads.

Yeah, you’re tough. You want to stick around burning cash because the data is actually good.

But then you try to scale, and Evaboot hits you with a brick wall of missing features.

1. No multi account support
2. No concurrent jobs
3. No scheduling
4. No flexible SN account limit control
5. Just CSV export

That’s the moment most people start Googling Evaboot alternatives.

But which tool actually delivers the same data quality or better… at a lower price… and with room to grow?

I did the hard work for you.

I tested every “Evaboot alternative” people keep mentioning in blog posts… and honestly, none of them stands a chance.

So buckle up. I’m not giving you an alternative. I’m giving you the upgrade… Lobstr.io.

Yeah yeah, I admit it. This might sound like a shameless promotion… our product is better, yada yada. And sure, you might think I’m a shill hyping his own product for no reason.

Well, I dare you! Read the full review and you’ll see… Why Lobstr.io isn’t just an alternative. It’s the ultimate upgrade.

But before we get into them, let’s break down the good and the bad of Evaboot.

What is Evaboot and what’s good about it?

Key features

1. Chrome extension to collect leads from Sales Navigator in one click
2. 30+ meaningful data points for each lead
3. Valid email finding and bulk email validation
4. Data cleansing to remove special characters and fix messy formatting
5. LinkedIn URL enrichment
6. Folders to organize lead lists
7. Team access for organizations

What I love about Evaboot

Data

First thing first, I love the data it offers. Every vital data point is covered. From lead details to company details, it gives you almost all key insights.

The data cleansing helps a lot too. It automatically removes special characters and messy formatting, which makes CRM exports way smoother.

Sales Navigator often gives you mismatched leads like wrong job titles, wrong industries, or incorrect company headcounts.

Evaboot solves it by adding a match filter column to its output that flags which leads don’t match your input.

So full marks for data quality and quantity.

Ease of use

Another thing I love is the clean and simple interface.

The Chrome extension collects leads directly from Sales Navigator. You run your Sales Nav search, click the extension, and export all leads instantly.

The app UI is also straightforward. If you follow my posts, you know my one click access rule for scoring UX. Evaboot passes it with flying colors.

The folders feature is handy too. You can organize lead lists into folders, which helped me create ICP and industry-specific buckets to keep everything tidy.

Now the part I don’t love.

URL enrichment may be good for some but I didn't like it because it only accepts unique ID–style URLs instead of public ones.

Same with the team feature. It exists, but with Evaboot’s limits, I can’t think of a single practical reason to use it.

These two aren’t bad features. They’re just not my favorites.

Before moving to what’s actually wrong with Evaboot, let’s take a quick look at how much it costs.

Evaboot pricing

Plans start at $9 per month and go all the way up to $1700 per month. Looks flexible, right?

Lol wrong! Buckle up, I’m about to give you a reality check. Let’s do the math.

Evaboot charges 2 credits per lead with verified email (1 credit if no email).

Cost per 1000 leads without emails

To collect 1000 leads without emails, the plan you need costs $49 per month for 1500 credits. That works out to $33 per 1000 leads.

At scale on the $1700 plan (200k credits), the price drops to $8.5 per 1000 leads.

Cost per 1000 leads with emails

To collect 1000 leads with emails, you’ll need the $99 per month plan for 4000 credits.

That comes out to $49.5 per 1000 leads.

At scale on the $1700 plan, this drops to $17 per 1000 leads.

Evaboot also sells email finding and bulk validation separately:

1. Finding 1000 verified emails = $33
2. Verifying 1000 emails = $16.3

So indeed it’s expensive, but is it just the pricing that makes people look for alternatives?

Nope, there’s more.

Why might you need an Evaboot alternative?

Besides the pricing (which is obviously super expensive), there’s a lot that goes wrong with Evaboot.

Speed

It’s terribly slow. While testing it, I had to collect 15 leads from Sales Navigator. It took more than 3 minutes to collect the leads and emails.

Unlike competitors like Lobstr.io, it doesn’t offer concurrent scraping (multi-threading). So speed is not in your control.

No multiple SN account management

To use multiple Sales Navigator accounts with Evaboot, you have to keep logging out and logging in. There’s no account handling.

Unlike competitors like Lobstr.io, there’s no account management at all. You can’t manage cookie refresh, updating, or unsyncing of accounts from the app.

You also can’t set your own limits. There’s only one default limit: 2500 profiles per day (LinkedIn’s default).

And you can’t select multiple accounts at the same time to collect more than 2500 leads per day, which makes it practically not scalable.

Limited export formats

You can only export results as a CSV file. You have to download the CSV to move it into other platforms like Google Sheets or S3.

Even to download the CSV, you need to log in to Evaboot and download it manually.

No repeated collection and scheduling

You can’t schedule exports for repeated or automated data collection. Everything is manual.

Every time, you need to open Sales Navigator, click the extension, and collect the data.

You can’t just collect data from a single URL every month automatically to keep getting new leads.

Live progress tracking

There’s no live tracking. Once you launch an export, you can’t stop it. You can’t see how many leads were collected or how much time it took.

You just launch it and wait for the email notification.

Bad API documentation

The API doesn’t offer much. The documentation is basic and poorly explained. No proper endpoint details, no examples, and it isn’t developer-friendly at all.

Now that we’re done tearing Evaboot apart, let’s talk about a tool that actually fixes these problems.

Lobstr.io: Best Evaboot Alternative

Lobstr.io is a no-code web scraping toolkit that offers 20+ cloud-based scrapers for popular domains and use cases.

One of the top products is the Sales Navigator Leads Scraper.

Key features:

1. 40+ meaningful data points per lead
2. Verified emails and verified phone numbers
3. Scrapes from search and saved leads
4. Scheduling for repeated and automated data collection
5. Export to CSV, Google Sheets, Amazon S3, SFTP, or receive the CSV directly in your inbox
6. Built-in data cleansing and match filters
7. Live monitoring console
8. Notifications via email and webhook
9. Concurrent scraping for faster runs
10. Multiple account syncing with flexible limit adjustments
11. Developer and vibe-coder-friendly API with clean, detailed docs

What you’ll love about Lobstr.io

Data

Here’s the dataset comparison:

1. 👉Lobstr.io dataset link
2. 👉Evaboot dataset link

Lobstr.io offers more data than Evaboot.

The biggest upgrade is simple: Evaboot gives you emails. Lobstr.io gives you verified emails and verified phone numbers, which Evaboot doesn’t provide at all.

Lobstr gives you more fields, stronger identifiers, deeper metadata, richer company info, and more person-level insights.

Evaboot misses critical GTM enrichment fields like:

1. mobile phone
2. seniority
3. connection degree
4. company revenue
5. person/company IDs
6. collection timestamp
7. input/page parameters

Lobstr includes all of them.

Lobstr.io also includes the same data cleansing filters you’ll find in Evaboot.

It removes special characters, cleans messy formatting, and offers match filters to identify out-of-scope leads.

And on top of that, Lobstr.io offers a Sales Navigator Companies (accounts) scraper.

Perfect for ABM, it lets you collect companies from Sales Navigator, not just leads.

Account management

This is something you won’t find in Evaboot, and this is a crucial feature that’s missing.

While using Evaboot, if you want to collect more than 2500 leads (which is LinkedIn’s default limit), you’ll have to manually log out and log into a new account.

Not with Lobstr.io.

You can sync multiple accounts, chain them in your Squid setup, and go beyond the 2500-leads limit without any manual effort.

Plus, Evaboot doesn’t offer any account controls at all.

Lobstr.io gives you extensive account controls like cookie refresh, cookie editing, account removal, and custom limit adjustments.

With Lobstr.io, you can set your own search limits to avoid burning through all your searches and making your Sales Nav account useless for the month.

You can also see exactly how many searches you’ve used so far.

Ease of use

This is another area where Lobstr.io outperforms Evaboot. The interface isn’t just simple and easy to navigate. It’s practical and flexible.

You can launch a scraper in 3 simple steps, and you get full control over what data is collected, when to collect it, and how much to collect.

Let me show you how.

Multiple searches per task

Unlike Evaboot… where you have to repeat the entire process for every single search (run the search, prepare the export, start the export… then repeat), Lobstr.io lets you add hundreds of searches into one crawler.

You can take 10, 20, or 100 searches, copy the URLs, and add them to your Sales Navigator Leads Scraper all at once.

No adding them one by one. Just upload a TXT or CSV.

Set your crawler preferences once, run it, and it collects everything automatically without any manual interference.

Crawler behavior settings

Another thing Evaboot doesn’t offer. Lobstr.io lets you choose what to collect, how much to collect, and when to collect it.

Once you add tasks, open the Settings tab. Here you can:

Choose what data to collect:

1. Just leads
2. Leads + email enrichment
3. Leads + phone enrichment
4. Leads + either email or phone enrichment

Choose how much to collect:

1. How many pages to scrape
2. How many profiles per page
3. The total number of leads to collect per run or per task

And the most important setting: slots.

1 slot = 1 bot running.

Increase slots → more bots → faster data collection.

Launch preference

When do you want the scraper to run?

1. Launch now for instant collection
2. Schedule for automatic collection at your preferred time

Scheduling also lets you collect fresh leads automatically from saved searches/lists without manually launching anything.

And what if you want to manually collect leads from the same Sales Navigator search again? Just click the Launch button and there you go.

Evaboot will make you do the search again and launch a new instance. Not in Lobstr.io. Just click Launch and re-collect the data.

“Oh… I started a wrong collection. I want to stop…”

Evaboot: No, you can’t.

Export preferences

Lobstr.io offers multiple export options.

1. CSV
2. Email delivery
3. Google Sheets
4. Amazon S3
5. SFTP
6. Webhook delivery

First and the most common one is CSV. You can download the results as a CSV file.

If you don’t want to open Lobstr.io’s dashboard every time to download results from every run, choose the email option to receive the CSV directly in your inbox.

If you don’t want the hassle of manually uploading CSVs to Google Sheets, you can set up Google Sheets to automatically receive the results.

Similarly, you can export results directly to an Amazon S3 bucket or set up an SFTP endpoint.

Plus, there’s webhook support.

You can set up a webhook to get notified whenever a run completes successfully, encounters an error, is paused, or is still running.

Developer and vibe coder friendly API

Unlike Evaboot, Lobstr.io’s API is built and explained in a way that makes it easy to use in your projects.

Every developer loves clean documentation, so we’ve explained every endpoint, rate limit, attribute, and literally everything you need in our docs.

The documentation is updated regularly to match what users expect.

For vibe-code bros (like me), we’ve also added examples for each scraper so you can simply copy-paste them and give your AI tool perfect context for understanding our API.

Live tracking and notifications

There’s a live console that shows you:

1. Live results
2. Credits used per run
3. Start and end timestamps
4. Total and unique results
5. Download buttons (to download results per run or all results of a Squid)

Workflow automation

This is another area where Lobstr.io is simply smoother to work with than Evaboot.

Neither Evaboot nor Lobstr.io offers native integrations or nodes for workflow tools like Make, Zapier, or n8n… yet.

But even without native nodes, Lobstr.io’s API makes workflow automation stupidly easy to build.

The documentation is clean, detailed, and every endpoint actually explains what it does. You can stitch together scraping flows, enrichment flows, export flows… all without guessing.

Evaboot’s API doesn’t even come close here.

Lobstr.io also has a ton of tutorials and ready-made workflows on the blog. I even built an AI agent using Lobstr.io and n8n.

But how much do you pay for all this?

Pricing

Lobstr.io gives you 100 free leads per month (or 10 free leads if emails are collected too).

Paid plans start at $10 and go up to $800 per month.

How much do you pay per 1000 leads?

Lobstr.io charges in credits:

1. 1000 leads = $1
2. 1000 leads (with emails) = $10
3. 1000 leads (with email + phone) = $250

At scale (the $800 plan), this drops to:

1. 1000 leads = $0.5
2. 1000 leads (with emails) = $5
3. 1000 leads (with email + phone) = $155

Lobstr.io vs Evaboot: Cost Comparison

What’s missing in Lobstr.io?

Time for some friendly fire. I (maybe) cooked Evaboot, so Lobstr.io gets a turn on the grill too. Fair is fair. That’s how real reviews work.

Let me put on my traitor mask.

Chrome extension

Lobstr.io does have a Chrome extension, but it’s only for account sync.

You can’t use it for one-click lead export (yet). It’s a work in progress and will be introduced soon.

Folders system

This is something I genuinely liked in Evaboot. Lobstr.io doesn’t offer a folder system to organize lead lists.

What I do in Lobstr.io is create a Squid per category or industry.

Then I dump all the URLs I need into that Squid, change tasks when needed, and start new runs from there.

It works… but there’s no way to rename runs. So I can’t instantly tell which run contains which URL unless I open it.

Team feature

Evaboot has a “team” feature.

I don’t know why it exists because it’s practically useless. It just lets multiple people share the same account. No per-seat credit allocation, no permissions, no actual team perks.

But yeah, it technically exists. And it’s missing in Lobstr.io.

Would be nice to see it someday because we do have actual useful team-level features but no team access.

LinkedIn URL enrichment

Evaboot lets you feed LinkedIn profiles or company URLs and enrich them.

I don’t find it useful because it only supports unique-ID URLs, not public URLs, so the use cases are limited.

But yes, it’s something Lobstr.io doesn’t have. Lobstr.io only accepts search URLs and saved-list URLs.

No profile or company URL support for now.

I was going to write about some other alternatives too but then I found out… I’ve actually covered them before.

Here are some good alternatives to Evaboot you can consider for specific use cases.

Popular Evaboot alternatives to consider for specific use cases

As I said, I actually tested 7 most popular alternatives of Evaboot, but since the others were NOT directly “alternatives” in terms of feature match, I didn’t include them in my main review.

But for specific use cases like scraping LinkedIn data without Sales Navigator, LinkedIn automation, data enrichment, etc, these are the best options.

1. Phantombuster
2. Wiza
3. Skrapp
4. Apollo
5. Prospeo
6. Findymail

Is phantombuster a good alternative to Evaboot?

Phantombuster is a solid alternative to Evaboot if you want a full LinkedIn automation and outreach tool.

It has so many ready-made LinkedIn automations that you’ll lose count. It can collect data from profiles and companies, find emails, and even handle LinkedIn messaging for you.

The best part is you can chain all of this into a single workflow.

But the problems hit hard.

The biggest turnoff is pricing. It’s too expensive and you pay per minute… not per lead.

You also get a fixed number of emails per plan, which kills scale fast.

And the speed… painfully slow.

I’ve done a full Phantombuster review here:

Are Wiza, Skrapp, and Apollo good alternatives to Evaboot?

They’re great if you want a dedicated B2B lead database. These tools run their own prospecting engines, pulling data and emails from multiple sources.

You’re not using Sales Navigator directly… you’re using their internal datasets.

And for that use case, they work well.

But the drawbacks are pretty clear.

1. They’re not Sales Navigator focused
2. They’re way more expensive than Evaboot

So if you need a pure Sales Navigator scraper, these aren’t true alternatives.

If you’re looking for B2B data vendors, I’ve compiled a list for you.

Are Prospeo and Findymail good alternatives to Evaboot?

Nope. Prospeo is primarily an email finder, while Evaboot is a Sales Navigator lead collection tool that also finds emails.

Evaboot does offer an email-finding service, and to be honest, it’s pretty affordable at the entry level.

In fact, most email finders… including Prospeo… aren’t even close to Evaboot’s pricing on the lower tiers.

But yeah, at scale, these email finders become much cheaper for bulk email finding and email verification, plus they offer phone enrichment too.

And that’s it. Before wrapping up, let me answer some FAQs.

FAQs

Is there a free version of sales Navigator?

Nope. Sales Navigator doesn’t have a free version. You only get a short trial, and after that, you pay.

LinkedIn keeps Sales Navigator strictly behind a paywall because that’s the whole point… they know you need the data, and they charge accordingly.

How to see more than 2500 leads in Sales Navigator searches?

Well, you can’t “see” more than 2500. Sales Navigator only displays 2500 leads per search. That limit is hard.

But you can collect more than 2500 by splitting the search into smaller slices… industry, function, seniority.
