Kendo
Lightweight LinkedIn-to-email Chrome finder.
From $14/mo Free tier
Bottom line
Lightweight browser extension turning LinkedIn profiles into emails. $14/mo, with 50 free credits a month.
Stands out for: Cheap and deliberately simple: credit packs and a browser button, nothing else.
Watch out for: Single-source rather than a waterfall, so coverage is thinner than paid platforms.
Overview
Kendo is a browser extension that turns LinkedIn profiles into email addresses. Credit packs, a minimal interface, no enterprise layer: it is built for one recruiter rather than a department.
Teams pick it when a $99 platform is overkill for what they actually do. Starter is $14 a month, or $164 billed annually, with 50 free credits each month. There is no API or MCP.
