PhantomBuster vs Superagnt

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

PhantomBuster

$69/mo Free tier 14 day free trial

Cloud automations for LinkedIn and the public web, with MCP on every plan. Start is $69/mo, or $56/mo billed annually.

Where PhantomBuster fits

  • Growth teams automating LinkedIn and Sales Nav lists
  • Agencies running several Phantoms in parallel
  • Builders wiring HubSpot, n8n, Zapier, Make, or MCP
  • Users who want cloud runs instead of a desktop scraper

Superagnt

$49/mo 7 day free trial

MCP toolkit that gives the AI agent you already run, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or Cursor, live LinkedIn profile, people, company and job data, plus email finding and verification, a Postgres database, schedules and an inbox, all on one key. LinkedIn calls cost $0.009 each, plans start at $49/mo with $20 of data credits, and a 7 day trial needs no card. Best for recruiters who work through an AI assistant, not those who want a point and click search screen.

Where Superagnt fits

  • Recruiters who source in Claude, ChatGPT or Grok and want live LinkedIn profiles and people search there
  • Sourcers building candidate lists from job postings and the hiring teams behind them
  • Agencies running hiring signal prospecting to find companies with open roles
  • Ops people who want enriched lists saved to a database instead of spreadsheets

Where they pull apart

PhantomBuster

Stands out: Hosted MCP at mcp.phantombuster.com plus 100+ Phantoms that run without your browser open.

Watch out: You act through your own social accounts, so limits and bans are on you. Execution hours, slots, and email credits all cap out. Exports on the trial are 10 rows.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who want a pre-built B2B database
  • Teams unwilling to connect their own LinkedIn accounts

Superagnt

Stands out: 52 LinkedIn tools on one endpoint cover full profiles with skills and recommendations, people search by title, company, school and location, job search, and the hiring team behind a posting, at a flat $0.009 a call. Results can land straight in the workspace database, and long lists run as background data jobs, so an agent can work through thousands of profiles without holding a chat open.

Watch out: There is no app to search in: everything happens through an AI agent or the REST API, so someone has to be comfortable working that way. The LinkedIn tools read data only, and none of them send connection requests or messages. Every plan cap is hard, including the included data credits, and AI tokens for agents deployed on the platform are billed separately. There is no free plan after the trial.

Not the right fit for

  • Recruiters who want a search screen and sequencing without an AI assistant
  • Teams that need automated LinkedIn connection requests and messages
  • Light users who need only a handful of lookups a month, since there is no free plan

  • Failed calls are not charged and every response reports its cost
  • No search interface, only an AI agent or the API
  • LinkedIn tools read data and do not send messages or invites
