PhantomBuster Alternative

PhantomBuster runs social automation phantoms on a monthly execution-hour budget and a limited number of slots, all through your own logged-in accounts. When you just need clean lead data, ScraperCity hands you a verified database and ready-made scrapers for $149/month flat. No execution hours, no slots, no account risk. Start for free.

Search 4,566,481 B2B contacts, or run a ready-made scraper. No execution hours, no phantom slots.

Why Teams Switch from PhantomBuster

No Execution-Hour Meter

PhantomBuster gives you a fixed pool of execution hours each month, and running several phantoms burns through it fast. ScraperCity has no time meter. Search and export as much as you want on one flat price.

No Phantom Slots

PhantomBuster caps how many automations run at once with slots, from 5 on Starter to 50 on Team. ScraperCity has no slots and no concurrency limit to plan around.

No Account Risk

Phantoms run through your logged-in LinkedIn session, and users report bot warnings and restrictions. ScraperCity pulls from its own database and scrapers, so none of your accounts are on the line.

No Cookies or Proxies

Skip extracting session cookies and wiring up proxies before anything runs. Search the lead database or run a ready-made scraper and get a clean CSV.

Common PhantomBuster Complaints

Based on user feedback, these are the issues that send people looking for a simpler option:

Execution Hours and Slots Create Bottlenecks

Users say action limits get consumed faster than expected when several phantoms run at once, and slot caps hold back concurrent campaigns. ScraperCity has no time meter and no slots.

LinkedIn Account Restrictions

Because phantoms run through your own session, users report bot warnings, temporary restrictions, and hard bans. ScraperCity never touches your accounts.

Setup Curve and Credits That Expire

Extracting cookies and configuring proxies is not intuitive for non-technical users, and unused monthly credits do not roll over. ScraperCity is search, run, export, with nothing that resets on you.
