Alternatives to Evaboot: which solution to export your Sales Navigator lists?

Evaboot has become a reflex for many sales teams exporting their LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches. In one click, the Chrome extension scrapes results, cleans names, and tries to find professional emails. But in practice, the limits show up fast: a credit system that drains quickly, often-empty email fields, no phone data, and a real cost well above what the entry pricing suggests. If you're looking for an Evaboot alternative able to go further on enriching your leads, this comparison reviews the options that matter.

What Evaboot does and where the tool stops

Evaboot is a Chrome extension built specifically for LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Its scope is clear: extract profile data visible in your Sales Nav searches, apply automatic cleanup (removing emojis, special characters, fixing names), and try to find the professional email tied to each contact.

The pricing model rests on a credit system with double counting: each exported lead consumes 1 credit for scraping and 1 credit for email lookup — 2 credits per complete contact. The $9/month entry plan with its 100 credits therefore only allows exporting 50 leads with email. Mid-tier plans sit between $29 and $99/month, and large volumes quickly exceed $300/month.

On top of that comes a often-underestimated prerequisite: Evaboot only works with an active Sales Navigator account. The extension supports neither LinkedIn's free search nor LinkedIn Recruiter. Beyond the Evaboot subscription, you also have to budget for at least $99.99/month for the Sales Navigator Core plan. The real cost of use, even on the most basic plan, reaches roughly $110/month for only 50 email-enriched leads.

And if you need professional phone numbers, the budget grows again: Evaboot doesn't provide that data. You have to go through a third-party service like Datagma or another provider, which means a third subscription and an additional step in the workflow.

The structural limits

Beyond cost, several constraints explain why sales teams look for alternatives.

Export only happens via CSV, with no native CRM integration, no available API, and no way to schedule recurring exports. Everything is manual: you have to open Sales Navigator, launch the extension, then download the file from the Evaboot interface.

On the data side, name cleanup and false-positive detection work well. Email enrichment, on the other hand, regularly leaves fields empty. Several user reviews on G2 and Capterra confirm that gap between the tool's promise and the actual completeness of the exports.

Finally, Evaboot relies on a single data source. When that source doesn't have the requested information, the field stays empty. It's a structural constraint shared by most tools that rely on a single provider or their own exclusive database.

The criteria for choosing an Evaboot alternative

Before comparing solutions, it's useful to set out the criteria that actually determine the value of a LinkedIn export and enrichment tool.

Hit rate measures the percentage of contacts for which the tool returns usable data (verified email, valid phone number). It's the most discriminating KPI. A tool that exports 1,000 contacts but only finds an email for 350 of them doesn't offer the same value as a tool that enriches 800. To go further on this topic, see our Kaspr vs Lusha comparison which details the coverage mechanisms.

Data verification drives data usability. An email found but unverified generates bounces, degrades your sending domain reputation, and skews your campaign metrics. Syntax verification alone isn't enough: you have to go all the way to mail server query and deliverability test.

Multichannel coverage separates email-only tools from those also returning direct phone numbers. For teams whose sales process includes calling, this dimension is decisive.

The economic model impacts budget predictability. Monthly credits with double counting, fixed subscription, pay-as-you-go: each model has its implications on real cost per lead, flexibility, and contractual commitment.

Finally, Sales Navigator dependency is an often-overlooked criterion. A tool that requires Sales Navigator to operate adds an unavoidable cost of around $100/month to the budget, before the first lead is even exported. Solutions that also work on standard LinkedIn search offer more flexibility.

An overview of Evaboot alternatives

Phantombuster: advanced automation

Phantombuster is an automation platform that covers far more than Sales Navigator export. Its "Phantoms" let you scrape data from LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and other sources, then chain them in automated workflows.

The tool fits technical profiles comfortable with script and flow configuration. Pricing starts around $69/month but depends on execution time, AI credits, and the number of activated Phantoms. The learning curve is steeper than with Evaboot, and email enrichment quality remains variable depending on configuration. Phone numbers aren't included.

Wiza: export speed

Wiza positions itself as a direct Evaboot competitor, with an emphasis on extraction speed from Sales Navigator. The tool also offers integrated email verification and a limited free plan (20 emails per month).

Paid plans start at $39/month for 1,000 credits. Wiza differentiates on execution speed but shares with Evaboot the same structural limit: a single data source, no advanced phone enrichment, and a Sales Navigator dependency.

Apollo.io: the integrated database

Apollo.io takes a different approach. Rather than scraping LinkedIn, the platform relies on its own database of more than 275 million contacts, combined with email sequencing and integrated CRM features.

The free plan offers limited access to the database, and paid plans start at $49/month. Apollo.io fits teams looking for an all-in-one tool, but coverage on the European market remains uneven, and data verification is partial on entry plans. Our article on Kaspr alternatives covers in detail the geographic coverage limits of this type of platform.

Scraping extensions (Skrapp, Scalelist, Surfe)

Several Chrome extensions offer an export similar to Evaboot: Skrapp (from $39/month), Scalelist (from $19/month), or Surfe which adds native CRM sync. These tools meet the basic extraction need but share the same constraint: they query a single source and don't solve the underlying problem — limited enrichment coverage and the absence of phone numbers.

Why the real problem isn't export but enrichment

What every solution presented above has in common is its dependence on a single data source or a very small number of providers. When that source doesn't have a contact's email or phone number, the field stays empty. And the user has no recourse, short of subscribing to a second tool, then a third, to try to fill the gaps.

It's exactly that problem the cascade approach solves. Rather than querying a single provider, a waterfall system submits the request sequentially to multiple sources. If the first provider returns no result, the second is queried, then the third, and so on. That mechanism mechanically increases hit rate.

Listar pushes that logic further with an augmented waterfall: around forty providers queried sequentially, complemented by a proprietary dataset and in-house email reconstruction algorithms. Every piece of returned data then goes through a triple verification system (syntax, server, deliverability for emails; connectivity and activity for phones).

The result: an enrichment coverage exceeding 80%, where classic solutions cap between 35 and 70% depending on whether they rest on a single source or a standard cascade.

Beyond enrichment, the Listar Chrome extension stands out on two points most alternatives ignore. First, it's entirely free: where Evaboot bills the export itself via its credit system, Listar offers LinkedIn profile extraction at no charge. Only contact enrichment (emails, phones) consumes credits. Second, the extension works on both Sales Navigator and standard LinkedIn search. Teams without (or no longer with) a Sales Navigator subscription can therefore export and enrich their leads directly from LinkedIn, with no extra access cost. For a detailed comparison between the two extensions, see our article Evaboot vs Listar: which extension to export and enrich your LinkedIn leads.

On the economic side, Listar runs pay-as-you-go, no commitment. Credits are bought in packs (1 credit = €1), and every enrichment action consumes a fraction of a credit: the maximum cost for a verified phone number is capped at €0.50, and significant volume tiers reduce the unit cost as quantities grow. No double counting, no credits lost at month's end, no fixed-term contract. This model alone replaces the LinkedIn export tool, the email provider, and the phone number provider, with a cost per usable contact significantly lower than stacking three separate subscriptions.

Conclusion

Evaboot alternatives don't lack — but they don't all solve the same problem. Phantombuster fits technical profiles wanting to automate beyond simple export. Wiza offers an experience close to Evaboot with a slightly different credits/price ratio. Apollo.io shifts the paradigm by relying on its own database, at the cost of uneven European coverage.

But if the real problem is hit rate — the percentage of contacts for which you get a verified email and a usable phone number — the answer doesn't lie in a Chrome extension swap. It lies in a change of approach: moving from a single source to an augmented waterfall, combined with systematic verification and a transparent economic model. Listar offers a free extension, complete enrichment (verified emails and phones) with 80-85% coverage, and a pay-as-you-go model with volume tiers, all with no commitment. The question isn't which tool is cheapest at entry, but which delivers the most usable contacts per euro invested.
