Where they pull apart

FinalScout

Stands out: It works from LinkedIn Recruiter searches as well as Sales Navigator, so recruiters can export a candidate search with emails, and it can pull emails from post commenters, group members and event attendees. Unused email credits roll over and do not expire.

Watch out: Bulk scrapes are capped at 100 profiles on the free plan and 2,500 per run on paid plans, the vendor expects 50 to 70% email coverage for profiles in English speaking countries, and it returns emails only, no phone numbers.

Not the right fit for

Recruiters who need mobile numbers
Teams that want a full outreach sequencer

Kendo

Stands out: Cheap and deliberately simple: credit packs and a browser button, nothing else.

Watch out: Single-source rather than a waterfall, so coverage is thinner than paid platforms.

Not the right fit for

Teams that need mobiles and multi-source coverage
Enterprise teams needing single sign-on and ATS write-back
