Bottom line
LinkedIn-first emails and dials with a Chrome extension, MCP, and API. Free plan; paid starts at $49/mo.
Stands out for: Chrome extension recruiters keep pinned, plus mobiles and a hosted MCP.
Watch out for: Team and API plans are quoted by sales, and the self-serve prices are shown as discounts, so confirm the current rate with the vendor.
Overview
ContactOut is a LinkedIn-first email and direct-dial finder. The Chrome extension is the main desk habit: open a profile, get email and mobile. There is a hosted MCP at contactout.com/mcp that connects with a ContactOut API token via OAuth, plus a REST API. It is contact data, not a sequencer and not an ATS.
Recruiters keep the extension pinned. Teams pick it when the input is a LinkedIn profile, not a name-plus-domain form. There is a free plan, and paid plans start at $49/mo.
