Overview
What is PhantomBuster?
PhantomBuster is a cloud-based data extraction and automation tool built around prebuilt automations called Phantoms.

AI credits support profile analysis and message drafting. Growth marketers, SDR teams, recruiters, founders, and lead generation agencies use PhantomBuster to build prospect lists and automate outreach tasks.

Reviews
PhantomBuster reviews
Devin M.
CEO
“Liked using it daily for marketing and getting good results. Found that usage must stay within social media platform guidelines to avoid problems.”
André D.
Cofounder
“Liked code-free social data gathering, integrations, a useful free trial, and built-in email discovery. Found that unused execution hours do not carry over between days or months.”
Amol P.
Marketing Manager
“Liked the low pricing and easy integration with other marketing tools. Found it inconvenient that each function requires its own separate Phantom to run.”
Faisal A.
Digital Marketer
“Liked the easy setup and that automations run without keeping a computer open. Found the price on the high side.”
Aman K.
Analyst
“Liked how effective it is for non-coders, with strong Twitter and LinkedIn automation options. Found the pricing high for what is included.”
Fabian M.
Growth Marketer
“Liked the flexibility, strong auto-scheduling, and responsive support. Found that technical documentation needs improvement and prebuilt packages are poorly documented.”
Guillaume M.
CEO
“Liked automating many tasks across major social platforms without needing a browser extension. Found the interface rough and unpolished at first.”
Inna Z.
CEO
“Liked the fast, accurate data extraction and ease of use. Found occasional unexplained data shifts, limited threads, and costs that rise quickly.”
Vlad C.
Chief Marketing Officer
“Liked how easy it is to use for growing a social following. Found that certain Instagram API features the reviewer wanted were missing.”
Richard T.
Search Marketing Manager
“Liked the significant time savings and well-written documentation for each automation. Found that it is not the easiest tool to learn.”
Kyan M.
Growth Specialist
“Liked the user-friendly design, many scraping options, and affordable pricing. Found daily usage limits restrictive and would prefer weekly limits.”
Vincent D.
Product Marketing Manager
“Liked the user-friendly interface, combined APIs, compatibility with other tools, and fast support. Found building custom APIs messy and costly in execution minutes.”
Angelo F.
Commercial Funding
“Liked the clean interface and the tutorials that help with setup. Found that it lacks the power needed for complex, sophisticated workflows.”
Jérémy A.
Digital Manager
“Liked how simple it was to get started. Found that scraping failed, support was unhelpful, and free plan limits made the tool unusable.”
Michael H.
Marketing
“Liked how easy the tool was to set up and start using. Found that a social account was banned after running an Instagram automation.”
Matthew G.
growth hacker
“Liked scraping emails quickly across multiple platforms. Found that a separate email finder was still needed and customer service was weak.”
Gianluca A.
Mr
“Liked that it works well once rules are configured. Found it harder to use than expected, with a risk of LinkedIn bans.”
Julien G.
RevOps Specialist
“Liked the quick setup and considerable time savings with little maintenance. Found scraping slow at times and error logs unhelpful.”
MAROON G.
Self Employed
“Liked accurate data extraction, good value, and helpful AI-assisted support. Found setup complex for non-LinkedIn platforms, with video guides focused mainly on LinkedIn.”
Laura G.
Social Media Manager
“Liked extracting LinkedIn and other social media data and automating repetitive actions. Found that automations often fail and need time-consuming reconfiguration.”
