Kaspr vs SalesQL
An independent, review-free comparison compiled by the SaaSTracker editorial team. Both products are profiled in full, and neither can pay for placement here.
The short answer
Both sides assessedKaspr compared with SalesQL
The two products do almost exactly the same job: a Chrome extension that reveals emails and phone numbers on LinkedIn. SalesQL bundles everything into a single credit pool at 39 dollars for 2,000 credits and states explicitly that a non-match costs nothing, which is the disclosure Kaspr does not make. Kaspr gives unlimited work email but rations phones to 200 a month. If your ratio is mostly emails with occasional phones, SalesQL is cheaper and clearer; if you want work email volume with a steady trickle of mobiles and prefer a vendor with Cognism behind it, Kaspr fits.
SalesQL compared with Kaspr
Both are LinkedIn extensions returning emails and phones, and the difference is entirely in the credit model. Kaspr gives unlimited work email but rations mobiles to 100 or 200 a month and charges per seat, and it will not say what happens when a reveal fails. SalesQL pools everything into one credit, states that misses are free, and includes three seats at 79 dollars where Kaspr charges 79 euros each. Unless you need genuinely unlimited work email volume from a single seat, SalesQL is the better structured deal.
Choose Kaspr if
Individual salespeople, recruiters, and founders who prospect inside LinkedIn, need mobile numbers rather than just emails, want to pay by card without a demo call, and can live inside an allowance of 100 to 200 phone reveals a month.
Choose SalesQL if
Salespeople and recruiters who prospect inside LinkedIn across profiles, Sales Navigator, and Recruiter, who need personal email addresses and mobile numbers alongside work emails, and who want a single credit pool with an explicit no-match-no-charge rule.

| Learning curve | Very low for the extension itself.

The one thing to internalise is that the free tier will not return phone numbers, so a free evaluation does not test the capability most buyers care about. |

Strengths and limitations
Kaspr
Strengths
- Unlimited B2B email credits on every paid plan removes the cost of work email entirely, which no credit-metered competitor matches.
- Mobile phone numbers at a published self-serve price, from a vendor group whose enterprise product only sells through a rep, is a genuinely useful gap in the market.
- The LinkedIn extension covers profiles, Sales Navigator results, groups, events, and post engagement, which is broader page coverage than most extraction tools.
- Compliance documentation is unusually concrete: named sources, a stated legitimate interest basis, a public opt-out form, and an automatic five-year deletion of profile data.
Limitations
- Phone credit ceilings are low and hard: 200 a month on the top published plan, which is under ten dials a working day and nowhere near a full-time caller's volume.
- Pricing is per seat, so team economics degrade quickly compared with Hunter or CUFinder, both of which include unlimited users.
- Direct email is capped at 5 a month on Starter, which is a feature listed on the plan rather than a feature you can use.
- Kaspr does not publish whether a failed reveal consumes a credit, which is the single most consequential unknown in this category and the one thing a buyer most needs answered.
SalesQL
Strengths
- An explicit written rule that a non-match costs nothing, applied to the API as well as the interface, which is the most important disclosure a vendor in this category can make.
- A single credit pool covering work email, personal email, and mobile numbers, which is far simpler and usually cheaper than the multi-meter models used by Kaspr and Tomba.
- Coverage of all four LinkedIn surfaces including Recruiter and Recruiter Professional Services, which most competing extensions do not handle.
- Personal email addresses alongside work ones, which Skrapp, GetProspect, and Hunter do not sell at all and which recruiting workflows depend on.
Limitations
- Entirely dependent on LinkedIn: there is no meaningful standalone database to search, so the product is only as available as your LinkedIn account is.
- The free tier excludes phone numbers, so the capability most buyers want to evaluate is precisely the one the free plan will not let them test.
- No API on Free or Basic, so developer evaluation starts at 79 dollars a month.
- The promised email sequencing feature is announced rather than shipped, and buying on the expectation of it is buying a roadmap.
Pricing compared
Kaspr
Freemium per-seat subscription with three separate credit meters (B2B email, phone, and direct email), quoted in euros, dollars, or pounds, with monthly or annual billing.
- Free0 euros
- Starter45 euros
- Business79 euros
- EnterpriseCustom
Judge Kaspr on phone credits and ignore everything else, because that is what you are buying. Business at 79 euros for 200 mobile numbers is roughly 0.40 euros per mobile, which is competitive with Datagma and cheaper than FullEnrich's waterfall for phones, and the unlimited work email allowance is genuinely free money next to a credit-metered competitor. The problem is scale. At 1,000 mobiles a month the published tiers do not reach, and you are buying add-on packs or negotiating Enterprise, at which point the transparent pricing that made Kaspr attractive is gone. At 10,000 you were never a Kaspr customer. So the value is real and it is bounded: for one or two people making a few hundred calls a month it is one of the best deals available, and for anything larger it is a false start.
SalesQL
Freemium subscription priced by monthly credits drawn from a single pool covering emails and phone numbers alike, with included seats, a separate verification allowance, and roughly 25 percent off for annual billing.
- Free$0
- Basic$39
- Professional$79
- Organization$119
SalesQL is priced very well for what it does, and the single credit pool is why. At 1,000 lookups a month, Basic's 2,000 credits for 39 dollars is 0.0195 dollars per contact whether that contact is an email or a mobile number, and because misses are free that is a real figure. Compare it to a mobile number bought on Kaspr Business at roughly 0.40 euros or on Tomba at five credits, about 0.0445 dollars, and SalesQL is dramatically cheaper for phone-heavy work. At 10,000 a month, Organization's 12,000 credits for 119 dollars is roughly 0.0099 per contact, which is close to the cheapest credible per-mobile price published anywhere self-serve, and it comes with fifteen seats. The caveat is coverage rather than price: a cheap credit is only cheap if it matches, and SalesQL publishes no match-rate commitment, so a low unit price with poor hit rates on your particular segment is a worse deal than it looks. Test the free tier against your own list, remembering that the free tier withholds the phone numbers you most want to test.
Editorial verdict on each
Kaspr
Kaspr is a good deal inside a narrow box and a bad deal the moment you step outside it. If you are one person prospecting on LinkedIn who needs a few hundred mobile numbers a month, unlimited work email at 45 to 79 euros a seat is hard to beat, and the compliance documentation is more concrete than almost anything else in this category. If you are a team, the per-seat pricing punishes you where Hunter and CUFinder do not. If you need volume phones, the ceilings are low enough that you will be back in a sales conversation within a quarter, which defeats the point of buying a self-serve tool. And the fact that Kaspr will not say in public whether a failed reveal costs you a credit is a real mark against it, because in this category that single rule determines what you actually pay. Buy it as a one-seat phone allowance. Do not buy it as a data platform.

SalesQL is the best-structured LinkedIn extraction tool in this batch, and the reason is two decisions rather than any single feature. One credit buys any data type, so a phone-heavy month costs the same as an email-heavy one, and misses cost nothing, which SalesQL states in writing where five of the biggest names in this category will not. Add coverage of Recruiter and RPS, personal email addresses, fifteen seats on a 119 dollar plan, and an MCP server, and the value per dollar is genuinely hard to beat, particularly for anyone who needs mobile numbers. The reservations are about disclosure rather than product. Almost nothing is published about who runs the company, where the data comes from, or what legal basis supports it, there is no match-rate commitment behind the attractive unit price, and the free tier withholds phones so you cannot test the thing you are buying. Take it if LinkedIn is already your list and you want the cheapest honest credit in the category. Do not take it if a procurement questionnaire is coming, or if you need to build lists when LinkedIn is not available.
