The 15 Best LinkedIn Scrapers in 2026 [Free & Paid]

Evaboot is a LinkedIn Sales Navigator scraping tool that allows you to export leads and get emails from Sales Navigator. That way, you get a ready-for-outreach Excel file in just one click.

"Evaboot has been a gamechanger for us"

Evaboot has been one of those tools we could not imagine not having now. Being able to quickly and easily extract lists of not only profile URLs but also associated metadata is vital for our outreach campaign message generation. As long as they keep the pricing fair we will continue to use it.

"Handy tool for LinkedIn"

The overall experience is very satisfactory as it saves a lot of time and helps in reducing redundancy. The tool also does the job of checking the validation of the profile, reducing the manual labor required post-scraping.

Phantombuster is a generalist scraping platform covering many LinkedIn use cases.

They also extract data from social media like Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok.

Pricing Tiers

"Lead generation made simpler"

The best part that I like about PhantomBuster is the lead generation part. It's straightforward to export sales navigator leads to Excel sheets. One can even customize the Excel sheet as per need.

"Great data scraping tool"

Pros: Phantombuster has become one of my primary data extraction tools. Buying contact lists is an expensive and uncertain route to go. Building your own is more time consuming but you know who is ending up on your list. Once I started using it I also found value in social media scraping and even yellow pages look-ups.

Cons: No real cons except that you do need to be particularly careful when extracting data from LinkedIn. Take their warnings and limits seriously. You can push the limits if you wish but I recommend playing within the lines.

Skrapp is a scraper, B2B email finder, and outreach tool designed to help professionals with email marketing and outreach campaigns. It uses public data to find verified professional email addresses, reducing the time spent on email research.

"One of the best email finder", Skrapp.io finds emails quickly with accurate results, a simple UI, company detail lookup, and REST APIs for easy integration with other applications.

"A tool with bang for your buck", Easy to use, fast, and delivers good data for the price.

TexAu lets you connect automation, build powerful workflows, grab data, or generate leads in minutes.

Like Phantombuster, TexAu is a generalist scraping platform, but it offers many LinkedIn automation and scraping features across both LinkedIn and Sales Navigator.

"Powerful automation to boost your business growth", TexAu is a powerful automation tool for marketers, salespeople, and everyone in between, letting you extract, process, and filter data with just a few clicks.

"Marketing Automation On Steroids ⚡️", User friendly, completes boring tasks in seconds. The desktop version is a killer feature as it does not require a proxy.

Captain Data is a no-code platform that extracts, aggregates, and integrates data, allowing sales and ops teams to create automated workflows and save time.

They are a generalist automation platform that offers a lot of different scrapers, including several built specifically for LinkedIn.

Captain Data is expensive compared to other tools on the market, it's built for the Sales Ops team with a real budget.

"Super flexible product, super reactive team!", Reviewers praise Captain Data's responsiveness, wide feature set across sources like Google Maps and Sales Navigator, and the team's willingness to act on customer feedback.

"Amazing for Marketing Campaigns", Users highlight how the simplified extraction accelerates digitalization, though some note account-level power limitations.

Derrick App is a LinkedIn extractor built directly into Google Sheets, letting you manage all your LinkedIn data enrichment operations without switching tools.

This is especially useful if you want to simplify your lead enrichment process. Note that you need a LinkedIn Sales Navigator subscription to use the Google Sheets login.

Linked Helper is one of the oldest LinkedIn automation tools on the market. Their main goal is to offer automation, but you can also scrape data from LinkedIn using it.

"Complete and complex", A very complete application that helps automate and manage commercial tasks and/or recruitment through LinkedIn, useful for certain tasks or roles.

"Great and cheap app for automating your LinkedIn Sales Strategy", The versatility of Linked Helper is great; users note it would benefit from A/B testing and native email sending.

Dux-Soup has been on the market for a long time. It's a LinkedIn automation tool built to create automated LinkedIn prospecting sequences, while also offering the ability to extract data from various places on LinkedIn.

Pricing Tiers

"Automated LinkedIn network building & brand awareness, if a little clunky"

The ease of importing lists, especially combined with Sales Nav, for steady growth of connections. Even if you change the content of a Funnel, the queued activity isn't edited.

"I highly recommend Dux Soup"

Pros: The automation of drip campaigns and follow-ups has helped my business tremendously and saves a lot of time.

Cons: Having to keep the browser up and running is the one downside.

BrightData, rebranded from Luminati Networks in 2021, is a web data platform that provides businesses with structured data via proxy networks, web scrapers, and ready-to-use datasets. It offers award-winning proxy networks, powerful web scrapers, and ready-to-use datasets for download. Bright Data's products include datasets, scraping solutions, and proxy networks. The platform serves various use cases such as eCommerce, social media, SERP & SEO, Ad Tech, and market research.

"Extremely useful tool for economic research"

I use Bright Data to collect data on employment in Israeli high-tech. The database covers a large portion of the employees in the industry, is frequently updated, and is straightforward to access. The support team is very responsive and extremely helpful.

"Easy to use Proxy Zones for Google and Website Scraping"

Pros: I like the proxy manager the most. I am using this in setting up ports for our google scraping solution.

Cons: I can't think of anything. We have had issues with DataCenter before due to incorrect geo-targetting but it was resolved pretty fast.

Waalaxy (formerly known as ProspectIn) is a French multichannel outreach tool. It started as a LinkedIn messaging automation tool and then added LinkedIn cold emailing to its sequences.

Pricing Tiers

• $112/month for LinkedIn automation
• $160/month for LinkedIn + Email automation

"A Game-Changer in B2B Lead Generation"

Waalaxy seamlessly integrates with LinkedIn, making it a powerful extension of your LinkedIn profile. This integration allows you to access your LinkedIn contacts, view profiles, and send connection requests and messages directly through the platform, eliminating the need to switch between multiple tools.

"Good option if you are starting with cold outreach campaigns"

Pros: Very easy to implement and start prospecting. Includes proxy management, so it can work even when the computer is off.

Cons: Needs to improve the user interface and add more functionalities to use cold email independently of LinkedIn campaigns, plus better reporting features.

Apify is a cloud platform for running web scrapers. Instead of shipping a single LinkedIn tool, it hosts a marketplace of pre-built actors, several of which target LinkedIn profiles, companies and job listings. You pick an actor, set its input, and call it over the API or on a schedule.

For a sales team this is more setup than a one-click extension. For an engineering team it is usually less work than maintaining a scraper in-house, because proxy rotation, retries and browser fingerprinting are Apify's problem rather than yours.

Octoparse sits between a browser extension and a developer tool. You load a page in its built-in browser, click the elements you want, and it builds the extraction rules from your clicks. There is no code, but there is more control than a fixed-purpose LinkedIn extension gives you.

Both of the pages currently ranking above this one list Octoparse, and the page in first place puts it second. It is the most widely recommended visual scraper for LinkedIn work.

ZenRows solves a narrower problem than the other tools here, and solves it well. If you have written your own scraper and it works until LinkedIn starts serving challenges, ZenRows is the layer you put in front of it. You send a URL, you get back HTML.

It does no LinkedIn parsing at all. That is the point: you keep your own extraction logic and hand off the part that keeps breaking.

Scrapingdog offers a LinkedIn-specific endpoint rather than a general scraper. Send a profile or company URL, receive parsed JSON: headline, experience, education, location, company details. There is no browser to drive and no HTML to parse.

It is worth noting that Scrapingdog's own comparison article ranks second for this search. They are a competitor in the results as well as a tool on this list.

ScrapIn's distinction is freshness. Many LinkedIn data providers serve from a cache that may be months old. ScrapIn fetches on request, so a job change that happened last week shows up.

That makes it a fit for enrichment inside a live workflow: a CRM record opening, a lead routing rule firing, a form submission being scored. It is a poor fit for exporting a list of ten thousand leads, where cost per record dominates.
