A French LinkedIn CRM and sender with EU servers, from $20

Kanbox is a French LinkedIn prospecting platform that combines a Chrome extension with cloud infrastructure, pairing LinkedIn and Sales Navigator scraping and an email finder with a smart inbox and a Kanban pipeline view of every prospect, running outreach campaigns with randomized delays and daily action limits, storing data on European servers, and pricing from $20 per month with agency plans covering five to thirty LinkedIn accounts.

Overview

Kanbox is the LinkedIn tool for people who think the problem with LinkedIn tools is that they send messages and then forget about them. Its organizing idea is the Kanban board: every prospect sits in a column, moves through stages as the conversation develops, and stays visible. Combined with a smart inbox that fixes LinkedIn's genuinely bad native messaging interface, the result feels less like an outreach robot and more like a lightweight CRM that happens to automate the first touch.

The other distinguishing fact is where the data lives. Kanbox is a French company, founded in May 2023 by two co-founders with backgrounds in UX design and software engineering, and it stores customer data on European servers under GDPR. For a European small business buying a tool that will hold its entire prospect list and conversation history, that is not a marketing bullet, it is often the deciding factor. Almost every alternative here is registered in the United States, a free zone, or nowhere in particular.

The pricing is aggressive at the bottom and reasonable in the middle. Twenty dollars a month buys one campaign, 300 leads, the email finder, and the smart inbox, which is genuinely usable for a solo consultant. Forty-five dollars adds multi-account support and unlimited managers. Eighty dollars unlocks the Kanban pipelines, AI prompts, webhooks and API, and a 75,000 lead per month ceiling. Agency 10 at $399 covers five to ten LinkedIn accounts with proxy support. Annual billing roughly halves all of it, which is the steepest annual discount in this category and effectively means the annual price is the real price.

The honest caveats are about maturity and depth. Kanbox is three years old, the vendor does not publish detailed daily action limits the way SalesRobot does, and proxy support only appears at the Agency tier, which means the safety story for individual users is randomized delays and behavioural simulation rather than a dedicated country-matched IP. It is also extension-dependent for parts of its scraping, so some functions expect a browser to be open. For a low-volume European operator that combination is fine. For someone pushing sustained volume through an account they cannot replace, the safety documentation is thinner than it should be.

Best for

European solo operators, small sales teams, and boutique agencies who want LinkedIn prospecting, enrichment, and a visual pipeline in one affordable tool with data held on EU servers under GDPR, and who run moderate rather than aggressive volume.

Not the right fit for

Anyone pushing high daily volume through an account they cannot afford to lose; Kanbox does not publish enforced daily quotas and proxy support only appears on the Agency tier, so the safety story is weaker than SalesRobot's or Expandi's.
Teams that need fully unattended cloud execution with nothing installed; parts of Kanbox depend on the Chrome extension and your browser session.
Buyers who want deep multichannel email sequencing; Kanbox finds emails well but is not an email sending platform in the way Closely or LinkedCamp are.
Large agencies above thirty LinkedIn accounts, where the published plans stop and you are into custom territory against vendors purpose-built for that scale.
Anyone who needs a vendor with years of operating history behind a critical channel; Kanbox launched in 2023 and has not yet been tested by a full cycle of LinkedIn enforcement.

How it works

1
You install the Chrome extension, which the vendor claims takes two clicks and no configuration, and it attaches to LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. Scraping runs through the extension against your own session, extracting up to a stated 2,500 leads a day from search results, lists, and profiles.
2
Extracted leads go into Kanbox's own cloud, hosted on European servers, where the email finder enriches them with verified professional addresses using credits you buy separately at $15 per thousand.
3
Campaigns automate profile visits, connection requests, messages, and follow-ups with randomized delays and daily action limits intended to simulate human behaviour. Plan tiers cap how many campaigns run simultaneously (one on Starter, three on Essential, five on Pro) and how many leads you may process per month.
4
Replies land in the smart inbox, which consolidates LinkedIn and Sales Navigator conversations in one interface with filtering and organization LinkedIn's own messaging does not provide. Every prospect also appears on a Kanban pipeline where you move them between stages, and on the Pro tier webhooks and the API push those state changes into a CRM.

Feature breakdown

21 features in 4 modules

Pipeline and inbox

The organizing idea, and the reason people choose Kanbox over a pure sender.

Kanban prospect pipelines: Every prospect sits in a column and moves through stages as the conversation develops, giving a visual pipeline that most LinkedIn tools replace with a flat list. Gated to the Pro tier.
Smart inbox: Consolidates LinkedIn and Sales Navigator conversations into one filterable interface, which is a meaningful improvement over LinkedIn's own messaging even before any automation is involved.
Lead tagging and segmentation: Organize prospects by attributes and campaign outcome so segments persist across campaigns rather than being rebuilt each time.
Conversation filtering: Filter the inbox by status, tag, or campaign, which is what makes handling a few hundred live conversations possible at all.
Unlimited managers on Essential and above: Team members can be added without a per-seat charge on the multi-account plans, which is unusual and quietly generous.

Extraction and enrichment

Where the lead list comes from and how it becomes usable.

LinkedIn and Sales Navigator scraping: Extracts leads from search results, saved lists, and profiles, with a stated ceiling of up to 2,500 leads a day through the extension.
Email finder: Resolves verified professional email addresses for extracted prospects, available from the $20 Starter plan rather than gated to a higher tier.
Credits that never expire: Email finder credits cost $15 per thousand and carry no expiry date, which is genuinely rare. Most competitors reset your allowance monthly and pocket the unused balance.
Monthly lead ceilings by tier: 300 leads a month on Starter, 600 on Essential, and 75,000 on Pro. The jump at Pro is enormous and is the main reason to move up.
CSV import and export: Bring lists in from anywhere and take enriched data out, which is the base protection against being trapped in the tool.

Campaigns and automation

Competent rather than deep, with limits by tier rather than by configuration.

Automated profile visits: Warm-up visits that trigger the who-viewed-your-profile notification before an invite is sent.
Connection requests with personalization: Invitations carrying variable-substituted notes drawn from the scraped profile data.
Message and follow-up sequences: Multi-step drips after acceptance, with replies halting the sequence for that prospect.
Simultaneous campaign limits by tier: One active campaign on Starter, three on Essential, five on Pro. This is the constraint that most often forces an upgrade rather than the lead ceiling.
AI message prompts: AI-assisted message generation and an AI prospecting agent, available on the Pro tier.
Randomized delays and daily action limits: Behaviour simulation with varied timing and per-day ceilings. The vendor does not publish the specific numbers the way SalesRobot does, which is a documentation gap worth asking about.

Multi-account, agency, and data handling

Where the European positioning and the agency plans live.

European data residency: Customer data is stored on secure European servers under GDPR, from a French company. For an EU buyer this is often the single deciding factor against US-registered alternatives.
Multi-account support: Available from the $45 Essential plan, with agency tiers covering five to ten accounts, eleven to thirty, and thirty-one or more.
Proxy support on Agency plans: IP separation per client account appears at the Agency tier. Below that there is no dedicated per-account IP, which is the clearest limitation of the safety architecture for individual users.
Webhooks and API: Available on the Pro tier, which is how pipeline state changes reach a CRM and how you mirror your data out for safekeeping.
Per-account pricing on multi-account plans: Essential and Pro are quoted per LinkedIn account ($45 and $80 monthly, $30 and $50 annually), so cost scales linearly until the Agency bundles take over.

Use cases

4 documented

French consultant who will not put client data on US servers

The prospect list contains personal data of EU citizens and the business has committed to keeping processing inside the EU, which rules out most of this category outright.

Kanbox stores everything on European servers under GDPR from a French company, at $20 a month on Starter, and the smart inbox plus email finder cover the whole workflow.

Solo seller who loses track of conversations

Fifty live LinkedIn threads are scattered through LinkedIn's own messaging with no way to see who is at which stage, and follow-ups get missed.

The Pro tier's Kanban pipeline puts every prospect in a visible column and the smart inbox makes the threads filterable, turning an unmanageable inbox into a pipeline.

Boutique agency running seven client accounts

Seven LinkedIn accounts need IP separation, one operator handles all of them, and per-account pricing elsewhere would be prohibitive.

Agency 10 at $399 monthly (or $279 annually) covers five to ten accounts with proxy support and unlimited managers, which is roughly $40 to $57 per account.

Recruiter building a talent pool from Sales Navigator

Candidate lists need extracting at volume, enriching with emails, and tracking through screening stages without buying three separate tools.

Extraction at up to 2,500 leads a day, the email finder with non-expiring credits, and the Kanban pipeline cover extraction, enrichment, and tracking in one $80 subscription.

Pricing

from $20 per month (Starter), or $10 per month billed annually

Tiered subscription priced per LinkedIn account on the individual plans and per bundle on the agency plans, with email finder credits sold separately and never expiring.

Plan	Price	Includes
Starter	$20 per month ($10 per month billed annually)	1 simultaneous campaign 300 leads per month Email finder Smart inbox LinkedIn and Sales Navigator scraping At $10 annually this is close to the cheapest credible cloud-assisted tool in the category, though the single campaign and 300-lead ceiling bind quickly.
Essential	$45 per LinkedIn account per month ($30 billed annually)	3 simultaneous campaigns 600 leads per month Multi-account support Unlimited managers Smart inbox and email finder The multi-account gate. Unlimited managers at no per-seat charge is unusually generous.
Pro	$80 per LinkedIn account per month ($50 billed annually)	5 simultaneous campaigns 75,000 leads per month Kanban pipelines AI prompts and AI prospecting agent Webhooks and API The lead ceiling jumps from 600 to 75,000 here, and the Kanban pipelines that define the product are gated to this tier.
Agency 10	$399 per month ($279 billed annually)	5 to 10 LinkedIn accounts 75,000 leads per month All Pro features Proxy support for IP separation Unlimited managers About $40 to $80 per account depending on how many you actually run, and the only tier where per-account IP separation is available.
Agency 30 and Agency Unlimited	Custom negotiated	11 to 30 LinkedIn accounts, or 31 and above All Pro and Agency features Proxy support Negotiated terms The only tiers requiring a conversation; everything below is self-serve with published prices.

Add-ons

Email finder credits ($15 per 1,000 credits): Credits never expire, which is rare and meaningfully better than monthly-reset allowances. Volumes available up to 50,000.
LinkedIn Sales Navigator (Roughly $99 per user per month, paid to LinkedIn): Not required, since ordinary LinkedIn search and CSV imports work, but the scraper is at its best against Sales Navigator lists.

Billing notes

Annual billing roughly halves the price on every tier (Starter $20 to $10, Essential $45 to $30, Pro $80 to $50, Agency 10 $399 to $279), which is the steepest annual discount in this category. The annual figure is effectively the real price list.
Email finder credits are sold separately and never expire, so unused balance is not lost at month end. Budget them as a one-off rather than a recurring waste.
Modelled for one user, a realistic setup is Pro at $80 monthly or $50 annually plus a credit pack, so roughly $65 to $95 per month all in without Sales Navigator, or about $165 with it.
Modelled for a five-account agency, Agency 10 is $399 monthly or $279 annually, which is $80 or $56 per LinkedIn account, and is the only configuration that includes proxy-based IP separation per client.
Note the tier structure carefully: Essential and Pro are quoted per LinkedIn account, so five Pro accounts would be $400 monthly, marginally more than the Agency 10 bundle. Model the jump before adding accounts individually.
The 15-day trial includes 30 email credits and requires no credit card, so evaluating both the sender and the enrichment costs nothing.

Value assessment: On annual billing Kanbox is among the best value propositions in this category: $50 a month for five simultaneous campaigns, a 75,000 lead ceiling, Kanban pipelines, AI prompts, webhooks, an API, an email finder with non-expiring credits, and EU data residency is a lot of product for the money. The Agency 10 bundle at $279 annually for up to ten accounts with proxy support works out cheaper per account than most rivals' agency tiers. What you are not paying for is a documented, enforced safety architecture: below the Agency tier there is no per-account IP separation, and the vendor does not publish daily action ceilings. That gap is why Kanbox is excellent value for moderate-volume European operators and the wrong choice for anyone running an account hard.

Strengths & limitations

Strengths

European data residency from a French company under GDPR, which for many EU buyers is the deciding factor against a category dominated by US and free-zone vendors.
The Kanban pipeline plus smart inbox combination makes Kanbox a lightweight CRM rather than a fire-and-forget sender, which is genuinely different from most tools here.
Email finder credits never expire, so unused balance carries forward instead of being lost each month.
The annual discount is roughly 50 percent across every tier, making the effective prices ($10, $30, $50, $279) very competitive.
Unlimited managers on Essential and above at no per-seat charge, which is unusually generous for team use.
The smart inbox is a real improvement on LinkedIn's own messaging even before any automation, consolidating LinkedIn and Sales Navigator threads with filtering.
Agency 10 at $279 annually for up to ten accounts with proxy support is one of the cheaper per-account agency rates available.
A 15-day trial with email credits included and no credit card, so both halves of the product can be evaluated for nothing.

Limitations

No dedicated per-account IP below the Agency tier. Proxy support is an Agency feature, so individual and small-team users rely on behavioural simulation alone, which is a weaker safety posture than SalesRobot, Expandi, or LinkedCamp offer at similar prices.
The vendor does not publish specific daily action limits, so you cannot compare its safety ceiling against competitors that do. Ask before committing an important account.
Extension dependency means parts of the workflow expect a browser session, so this is not the fully unattended cloud execution that Closely or SalesRobot provide.
The Kanban pipelines that define the product are gated to the $80 Pro tier, so the cheaper plans are a different and much plainer product.
Lead ceilings on the lower tiers are very tight: 300 a month on Starter and 600 on Essential, against 75,000 on Pro. The middle tier is awkwardly positioned.
No real email sending channel, so multichannel outreach means pairing Kanbox with a separate email sequencer.
Founded in May 2023, so the vendor has a short operating history and has not been tested by a full cycle of LinkedIn enforcement.
No published compliance certifications beyond GDPR posture, no SSO, and limited security documentation.

Head-to-head comparisons

5 alternatives

Kanbox vs Closely

from $49 per month (Starter), or $29 per month billed annually

Closely is a pure cloud multichannel platform at $49 to $205 with unlimited mailboxes, enrichment credits, and white label included, aimed at teams and agencies. Kanbox is a cheaper extension-plus-cloud hybrid built around a Kanban pipeline with EU data residency, from $20. Take Kanbox for EU hosting, the visual pipeline, and low-cost solo use; take Closely when multichannel email in the same sequence and white-label client delivery are what you are actually buying.

Full Kanbox vs Closely comparison

Kanbox vs Dux-Soup

from $14.99 per month (Pro Dux), or $11.25 per month billed annually

Both are extension-rooted tools with a pipeline view and a decade of difference in age. Dux-Soup is Dutch, ten years old, with the best native CRM connector list here and a cloud upgrade path at $99. Kanbox is French, three years old, cheaper on annual billing, and better at visual pipeline management and enrichment. Choose Dux-Soup for vendor longevity and CRM depth; choose Kanbox for EU residency, the Kanban view, and the built-in email finder.

Full Kanbox vs Dux-Soup comparison

Kanbox vs Evaboot

from $9 per month for 100 credits

Evaboot does one thing (clean Sales Navigator exports with verified emails) for as little as $9 a month and does not send anything. Kanbox does that plus campaigns, an inbox, and a pipeline from $20. If you already have a sender and only need clean extraction, Evaboot is cheaper and better at that specific job; if you want extraction and outreach and tracking in one European tool, Kanbox covers the whole workflow.

Full Kanbox vs Evaboot comparison

Kanbox vs Waalaxy

from €19/user/mo (Pro, billed monthly)

The two French tools in this category, and a natural comparison for EU buyers. Waalaxy is larger, better known, has a free tier, and a friendlier campaign builder; Kanbox is smaller but has the Kanban pipeline, the smart inbox, non-expiring email credits, and cheaper annual pricing. Take Waalaxy if you want the more established French vendor and a free entry point; take Kanbox if pipeline visibility and enrichment economics matter more.

Full Kanbox vs Waalaxy comparison

Kanbox vs Skylead

from $100/seat/mo (All-in-one)

Skylead is a cloud platform with smart sequences that branch on prospect behaviour and bundled email finding, priced at a flat rate per account. Kanbox is cheaper, especially annually, and stronger on pipeline visualization and EU hosting, but its campaign logic is simpler and it lacks Skylead's conditional branching. Pick Skylead for sophisticated conditional sequences; pick Kanbox for cost, EU data residency, and the CRM-like front end.

Implementation & onboarding

Setup time: Under thirty minutes. The vendor claims a two-click extension install with no technical configuration, and that is roughly accurate. Scraping a first Sales Navigator list and running the email finder over it takes another twenty minutes.
Learning curve: Low. The Kanban metaphor is immediately legible to anyone who has used a project board, and the smart inbox behaves the way an inbox should. The only confusing part is the tier structure, where lead ceilings jump from 600 to 75,000 and the defining Kanban feature only appears at Pro.
Onboarding: Entirely self-serve on Starter, Essential, Pro, and Agency 10, with a 15-day trial that includes 30 email credits and needs no credit card. Only the Agency 30 and Unlimited tiers require a conversation.
Migration notes: Lists import by CSV and extraction can rebuild a prospect base quickly. On the way out, CSV export covers enriched lead data and the Pro tier's webhooks and API can mirror pipeline state into a CRM. Because Kanbox holds the pipeline stages, tags, and consolidated conversation view, that state is the part genuinely at risk if the tool is blocked or the vendor closes: the messages themselves stay in LinkedIn's inbox, but the organization you built around them does not. Buy Pro, wire up the webhooks early, and treat the CRM as the system of record.

Platform, API & security

Platforms: Google Chrome extensionCloud application with data on European serversWeb dashboard for pipelines, inbox, and campaigns
API: API and webhooks on the Pro tier and above, which is the mechanism for pushing pipeline changes into a CRM and for getting your data out.
Compliance: GDPR, with data stored on European servers
Data residency: European servers, from a French company. This is the product's clearest structural advantage for EU buyers.
SSO: Not advertised.
Security notes: The safety architecture is behavioural rather than infrastructural for most customers: randomized delays and daily action limits, with per-account proxy support appearing only on the Agency plans. The vendor does not publish its specific daily ceilings, which makes direct comparison with SalesRobot or LinkedCamp impossible without asking. Data handling is the strong point: European hosting under GDPR from a French entity, which is a genuinely different privacy posture from most of this category.

Support & resources

Channels: Email supportIn-app helpSupport in French and English
Documentation: Product documentation and an actively maintained blog publishing through 2026 on LinkedIn tactics, pricing comparisons, and tool alternatives.
Community: Modest; the vendor claims a base of several thousand customers and a 4.8 rating across roughly 297 reviews, but there is no large public forum.

Frequently asked questions

10 questions

What is Kanbox?

Kanbox is a French LinkedIn prospecting platform that pairs a Chrome extension with cloud infrastructure. It scrapes leads from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, finds and verifies their email addresses, runs automated connection and follow-up campaigns, consolidates replies in a smart inbox, and tracks every prospect on a Kanban pipeline. Data is stored on European servers under GDPR.

How much does Kanbox cost?

Starter is $20 per month for one campaign and 300 leads, Essential is $45 per LinkedIn account for three campaigns and 600 leads with multi-account support, and Pro is $80 per account for five campaigns, 75,000 leads, Kanban pipelines, AI prompts, and webhooks. Annual billing roughly halves each of those to $10, $30, and $50. Agency 10 covers five to ten accounts at $399 monthly or $279 annually. Email credits are $15 per thousand and never expire.

Can Kanbox get my LinkedIn account restricted?

Yes. Automating LinkedIn violates LinkedIn's user agreement whichever vendor you use, and accounts are warned, restricted, and permanently banned regularly. Kanbox uses randomized delays and daily action limits to simulate human behaviour, but it does not publish the specific daily numbers, and per-account proxy support only appears on the Agency plans. For an individual user that means there is no dedicated IP separating your automated activity, which is a weaker position than SalesRobot or LinkedCamp offer at comparable prices. Run conservative volume and stay inside LinkedIn's roughly 100 invitations per week allowance.

Is Kanbox a Chrome extension or cloud software?

Both. The extension handles scraping against your own LinkedIn session, and the cloud side holds your data, pipelines, inbox, and campaign engine on European servers. That hybrid means it is not fully unattended in the way a pure cloud tool such as Closely or SalesRobot is, and some functions expect your browser to be available.

Where is my data stored?

On European servers, by a French company, under GDPR. This is Kanbox's clearest structural advantage. Almost every alternative in this category is registered in the United States, in a free zone, or in no disclosed jurisdiction at all, so for an EU business holding personal data on EU citizens, Kanbox may be the only comfortable option on the shortlist.

Do I need LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

Not strictly. The scraper works against ordinary LinkedIn search and CSV imports are supported. In practice the tool is at its best against Sales Navigator lead lists, and the stated extraction ceiling of up to 2,500 leads a day assumes you have somewhere to extract from, so most serious users pay the roughly $99 per month for a Sales Navigator seat.

What does Kanbox cost for a five-account agency?

Agency 10 is $399 per month or $279 billed annually, covering five to ten LinkedIn accounts with proxy support and unlimited managers. At five accounts that is $80 or $56 each. Note that buying five Pro accounts individually at $80 would cost $400, marginally more, so the agency bundle is the right structure the moment you pass a few accounts. Agency 10 is also the cheapest way to get per-account IP separation.

Do the email finder credits expire?

No, and this is genuinely uncommon. Credits cost $15 per thousand and carry no expiry date, so an unused balance rolls forward indefinitely instead of resetting monthly. Compared with vendors whose monthly allowances vanish at the end of each cycle, this materially changes the economics for anyone whose enrichment needs are lumpy.

What happens to my campaign data if Kanbox shuts down or LinkedIn blocks it?

Enriched lead data exports as CSV and the messages you sent remain in LinkedIn's own inbox. What you would lose is the part that makes Kanbox worth buying: the Kanban pipeline stages, the tags, and the consolidated conversation view. Use the Pro tier's webhooks and API to mirror pipeline state into a CRM from the start. This matters more here than with most vendors precisely because the organizational layer is the product, and because Kanbox launched in 2023 and has not yet been through a full LinkedIn enforcement cycle.

Who is behind Kanbox?

Kanbox is a privately held French company founded in May 2023 by two co-founders with more than twenty years of combined experience in UX design and software engineering, including a decade working with enterprise social networks. There is no disclosed institutional funding. The company reported passing 5,000 customers in 2024 and maintains an actively updated product and blog, so it is clearly alive and developing, but it is young by the standards of a channel this volatile.

Editorial verdict

Kanbox is the best answer in this category for a European small business that wants its prospect data to stay in Europe, and it is a strong answer generally for anyone who thinks a LinkedIn tool should track conversations rather than just start them. The Kanban pipeline and smart inbox turn it into a lightweight CRM, the email finder is bundled with credits that never expire, the annual discount halves an already low price, and Agency 10 at $279 annually for up to ten accounts is one of the cheaper agency configurations available. The reservation is specific and important: below the Agency tier there is no per-account IP separation, and the vendor does not publish its daily action ceilings, so the safety architecture is less documented and less infrastructural than SalesRobot's, Expandi's, or LinkedCamp's at similar money. Buy it on the Pro or Agency tier for moderate-volume prospecting, wire the webhooks into a CRM early so the pipeline state is not the only copy, and do not use it to push an account you cannot replace.
