LinkedIn Sales Navigator alternatives: 13 lead generation tools compared
Buyers look for a Sales Navigator alternative when a per-seat licence of roughly €1,100 a year for one rep feels heavy, when LinkedIn shows a profile but not an email or phone number, or when they want the lead lists out of LinkedIn and into a CRM. The replacements split into contact-data add-ons that sit on top of LinkedIn, databases that do not need LinkedIn at all, and tools that tell you who visits your own site.
Short answer: The first three alternatives to LinkedIn Sales Navigator in our lead generation software ranking are Kaspr, Evaboot and Wiza. We open the ranking with smaller vendors and put the established brands from fourth place onward. Choose Kaspr if reps stay on LinkedIn but you need phone numbers and a vendor registered inside the EU. Every one of the 13 products below comes from Best Lead Generation Software in 2026, with a note on how it departs from LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
Pricing: Core from US$119.99 a month or US$1,079.88 a year per licence; Advanced from US$159.99 a month; Advanced Plus quoted; free trial with card
Established in: United States
Built for: Reps who prospect inside LinkedIn and use InMail, alerts and relationship maps
Not for: Teams that need verified emails and phone numbers or want a database outside LinkedIn

Why buyers look past LinkedIn Sales Navigator
01
A licence per rider, billed to the year
LinkedIn lists the Core plan from US$119.99 a month or US$1,079.88 a year (€120.99 and €1,088.88 in euro) and Advanced from US$159.99 a month or US$1,799.88 a year. Advanced Plus has no listed price and is sold through LinkedIn's sales team. Cancelling takes effect only at the end of the paid year on an annual plan, and the online checkout stops at five Advanced licences.
02
Search without the contact details
The plan comparison promises 50+ search filters, 50 InMail messages a month on every tier, lead alerts and CRM sync. It lists no email address or phone number to take away, so reps still need a second source before they can call or send a cold email outside LinkedIn's own inbox. That second source is what most of the alternatives below sell.
03
Scraping around it is against the rules
LinkedIn's help centre says it does not permit third-party software, including bots and browser extensions, that scrapes or automates activity on its site, and the User Agreement bars scripts and plug-ins that copy profile data. Several tools below work as Chrome extensions on top of Sales Navigator, so the account risk sits with the buyer, not the vendor.

When LinkedIn Sales Navigator is still the right choice
Sales Navigator remains the better choice when LinkedIn itself is the working environment: reps who prospect inside the network, rely on InMail (50 a month on every plan), alerts, relationship maps and TeamLink introductions, and want CRM sync that LinkedIn maintains without a third-party extension. It carries no scraping risk for your account, and a free trial lets you test it. If email and phone data are the only gap, adding a contact-data tool is cheaper than replacing it.

What moving off LinkedIn Sales Navigator involves
01
Export the lists before the term ends
Cancellation applies at the end of the paid period, so an annual plan cancelled in month three still runs to month twelve. Save searches and lead lists as CRM imports or CSV while the licence is active. Leads and saved searches live inside LinkedIn, and LinkedIn's user agreement bars scraping them out, so use the product's own export and CRM sync.
02
Decide whether LinkedIn stays in the loop
A tool that works on top of Sales Navigator, such as Evaboot or Kaspr's Starter plan, needs the licence to keep running, so it adds cost instead of replacing it. Databases such as UpLead, ZoomInfo or Apollo work without it. Choose which of the two paths you are on before comparing prices, because the totals differ by the cost of the seat.
03
Check the data and automation terms
Contact data for people in Europe needs a lawful basis under the GDPR, and vendor contracts differ by entity: Kaspr and Dropcontact contract as French companies, Evaboot as an Estonian one, while Surfe contracts through a French or a US entity depending on where the customer is incorporated. Automation tools carry LinkedIn's account-restriction risk.

Questions about replacing LinkedIn Sales Navigator
6 answers
How much does LinkedIn Sales Navigator cost?
On its plans page, checked 31 October 2026, Core starts at US$119.99 a month or US$1,079.88 a year per licence and Advanced at US$159.99 a month or US$1,799.88 a year.
In euro the yearly figures are €1,088.88 and €1,693.88. LinkedIn calls these estimates that may exclude VAT, and Advanced Plus is quoted individually.
Is there a free alternative to Sales Navigator?
No free product replaces its search. Free plans exist for contact data: Kaspr (15 B2B email and 5 phone credits), Lusha (40 credits), Wiza (20 emails and 5 phone numbers), Surfe (20 email and 5 mobile credits), LeadIQ (50 credits) and Skrapp.
Sales Navigator itself offers a free trial that needs a payment card.
Can I export Sales Navigator leads to a spreadsheet?
Third-party tools do it. Evaboot, Wiza and Skrapp export Sales Navigator searches with emails, and Evaboot says one search yields at most 2,500 leads. LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits scripts and browser add-ons that copy profile data, so you accept an account risk when using them.
Which alternative finds phone numbers?
Kaspr includes phone credits in its per-user plans, Lusha charges 5 credits per number, LeadIQ 10, and Wiza sells phone reveals on its $199 plan.
Evaboot states that it does not find phone numbers. Test the answer rate on your own target accounts, since the vendors publish prices and not hit rates.
Is there a European alternative to Sales Navigator?
Kaspr and Dropcontact are French companies, Evaboot is run by Nademode OÜ in Estonia, and Surfe contracts through Surfe Growster SAS in France for customers outside the US.
None of them is a LinkedIn replacement; they add or enrich contact data. Check each contract's data-processing terms.
Does Apollo replace Sales Navigator?
Apollo can replace the search and outreach work if you do not need LinkedIn's network signals such as InMail, alerts and relationship maps. It has its own contact database, sequencing and a free plan. Teams that rely on warm introductions through connections lose that part.
