SalesQL vs Skrapp.io
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 assessedSalesQL compared with Skrapp.io
Skrapp is cheaper for pure work email, at 29 dollars for 2,000 credits against SalesQL's 39, and adds a searchable database you can use without LinkedIn open. SalesQL adds phone numbers, personal email addresses, Recruiter and RPS coverage, and an MCP server, none of which Skrapp has at any price. If email is the only deliverable, Skrapp; if you need to call people or reach them on a personal address, SalesQL, and it is not close.
Skrapp.io compared with SalesQL
SalesQL does the LinkedIn half of Skrapp's job better, adding phone numbers, personal email addresses, an MCP server, and coverage of LinkedIn Recruiter and RPS, at 39 dollars for 2,000 credits. Skrapp adds a searchable database you can use without LinkedIn open, and costs 29 dollars for the same allowance. If you need phones or personal addresses, this is not a close contest and SalesQL wins outright; if work email is the whole deliverable, Skrapp is cheaper and gives you a second way to build a list.

Connecting Salesforce or HubSpot adds fifteen to twenty minutes of field mapping. |
| Learning curve | Very low, and lower than most competitors because there is only one credit type to understand. 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. | Low. The one concept users have to absorb is that daily search limits and credit balances are two separate ceilings, and that hitting the search limit on Professional at 20 people searches a day is normal rather than a fault. |

Strengths and limitations
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.
Skrapp.io
Strengths
- Credits are consumed only for deliverable emails, so the advertised price is close to the true cost per usable address rather than a cost per attempt.
- A searchable 200 million contact database plus a LinkedIn extension in the same subscription, which pure extraction tools such as SalesQL and Kaspr do not offer.
- Professional at 29 dollars for 2,000 credits and two seats is one of the cheapest credible entry points in the category.
- Credits roll over on paid plans rather than expiring monthly.
Limitations
- No phone numbers at all, on any tier, at any price, which removes Skrapp from consideration for any team that calls.
- The gap between 2,000 and 50,000 credits a month is unserved, so a team needing 8,000 credits either overbuys nine times the price or negotiates privately.
- Daily search limits are restrictive on Professional at 20 people searches a day, and they bind long before your credit balance does.
- The 97 percent accuracy and 92 percent success claims are marketing figures with no written guarantee behind them, unlike Anymail Finder's contractual delivery commitment.
Pricing compared
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.
Skrapp.io
Freemium subscription priced by monthly credit allowance with included seats, billed monthly or annually, with credit rollover on paid plans and daily search limits applied separately.
- Free$0
- Professional$29
- Enterprise$262
At 1,000 lookups a month Skrapp is among the cheapest credible options anywhere: Professional's 2,000 credits for 29 dollars annual works out at about 0.0145 dollars per deliverable email, roughly comparable to Icypeas and cheaper than Hunter's Starter at 49 euros for 2,000. Because failed lookups are free, that figure holds in practice. At 10,000 lookups a month the picture inverts and Skrapp becomes awkward: Professional is far too small and Enterprise sells you 50,000 credits you will not use for 262 dollars, an effective 0.026 dollars per credit at your actual volume, worse than Hunter's Growth tier at 149 euros for 10,000 and much worse than Tomba's flat 8.90 dollars per thousand. The value is real at the bottom of the ladder and evaporates in the middle, and there is no honest way to describe the 2,000-to-50,000 gap as anything other than a pricing failure.
Editorial verdict on each
SalesQL
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.

Skrapp is the cheapest sensible way for a small team to buy a couple of thousand verified work email addresses a month, and the billing rule that makes that true, charging only for deliverable results, is the rule that matters most in this category. Two included seats, rolling credits, a searchable database, and a competent LinkedIn extension for 29 dollars is a genuinely good deal at that volume. Two things stop it being a broader recommendation. There are no phone numbers at any price, so if you call at all you are buying a second tool. And the price ladder has a hole in the middle so large that a growing team goes from 2,000 credits to a nine-fold price increase with nothing in between, which means Skrapp is often something you outgrow rather than something you scale on. Buy it as a cheap, focused, email-only starting point, and expect to reassess the moment your volume passes a few thousand a month.
