ScrapeField vs PhantomBuster
PhantomBuster automates what you would otherwise do by hand on LinkedIn and other sites, working through your own accounts. We are an API that returns data. Here is which you want.
| ScrapeField | PhantomBuster | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An API: a call returns JSON | No-code automations that run in the cloud |
| Whose account it uses | None of yours. You never give us a login | Yours: in its own words, it works through your own accounts |
| Price | 2,000 credits free, then from $39 once — no subscription | Free trial (exports of 10 rows); then $56, $128 or $352 a month, billed annually |
| Billed by | Credits per call, published per endpoint | Monthly execution hours, automation slots and credits |
| Unused allowance | Credits never expire | Execution time resets each month |
| Outreach, sequences, CRM sync | No | Yes |

Questions
Can I use both?
Plenty of teams do: PhantomBuster for the outreach that has to come from their own account, and an API for the data they build on.
Try it before you decide
Every endpoint has a playground that runs against the live API with no key and no account — real routing, real validation, real errors. If the response shape does not fit your code, you will know in about a minute.
