Scrupp's Growth plan is $39 a month. Running it costs about $159 a month, and the tool is the small part of that.

You cannot use the thing it is built for without a LinkedIn Sales Navigator seat, and Sales Navigator Core lists at $119.99 per licence per month. So the pricing page you compare against Evaboot or PhantomBuster is describing a quarter of the bill. That is the single most useful fact in this review and almost no comparison mentions it.

TL;DR

Scrupp is a Chrome extension that exports LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches to CSV with verified emails and phone numbers. It works, it is cheap on its own terms, and its published prices run from a free tier at 100 credits a month to Enterprise at $99. The catch is structural rather than a flaw: it runs inside your logged-in browser session, so Scrupp states you need "any active Sales Navigator seat (Core, Advanced, Advanced Plus, or Recruiter)" for the Sales Navigator export that is its main use. Core is $119.99 a month. On credits, Scrupp's own scale is "1 credit = 1 lead scraped", plus one more for a verified email and two more for phone numbers, so a fully enriched lead is four credits and the $39 Growth plan's 2,000 credits buys 500 of them. Combine that with Scrupp's stated "~65% avg verified email find rate" and the honest unit cost is about 24 cents per usable email on Growth, not the six cents the subscription price alone implies. Whether an unsuccessful email lookup still consumes a credit is not published anywhere we could find, and at a 65 percent hit rate that omission moves the number materially.

What it actually is

A Chrome extension, not a cloud scraper. Scrupp states it "runs as a Chrome extension inside your own logged-in browser session", that it "never asks for your LinkedIn password" and does not store credentials. That is a meaningfully different architecture from tools that log into LinkedIn on a server on your behalf, and it is the reason the Sales Navigator seat is mandatory rather than optional.

Sales Navigator searches, exported. Lead search, account search and saved lists, out to CSV with "15+ columns per lead" covering person, company and contact fields.

Capped at 2,500 leads per search, and Scrupp says why. It describes the limit as "the Sales Navigator UI cap", which is honest, because it is LinkedIn's constraint rather than Scrupp's. No extension gets past it, so treat any competitor claiming otherwise with suspicion.

It does not send anything. Scrupp states it "never sends connection requests, messages, likes, or comments on your behalf". That is a real product decision and it is the right one, because the automation tools that do send are the ones that reliably attract account restrictions.

The prerequisite is the price

Scrupp's published plans. Its pricing page lists Free at $0 with "100 enrichment credits / month" and 100 leads per export, Starter at $29 with 1,000 credits, Growth at $39 with 2,000, Pro at $59 with 5,000 and REST API access, and Enterprise at $99 with 10,000 to 100,000. Annual billing brings those to $22, $29, $44 and $74. Every paid tier carries the same "10,000 leads per export" ceiling, which means the export limit is not what separates the plans. Credits are.

LinkedIn's published plans. Sales Navigator Core is "US$119.99 per month/license" or "US$1,079.88 per year/license", and Advanced is "US$159.99 per month/license" or "US$1,799.88 per year/license".

So the real monthly figure, billed monthly, is $158.99 on Growth. Scrupp is 25 percent of it. On annual billing for both, it is roughly $118.99 a month, and Scrupp's share falls to about 24 percent.

Which reframes the buying decision entirely. If you already pay for Sales Navigator, Scrupp is a $39 add-on and an easy yes. If you do not, you are evaluating a $159 a month workflow, and the comparison is no longer Scrupp against other extensions. It is this whole approach against a database product that does not require a LinkedIn seat at all. Our Sales Navigator pricing breakdown covers the seat itself in more depth.

Credits, and what they actually buy

The scale is published and simple. Scrupp states "1 credit = 1 lead scraped", one additional credit for a verified email and two more for phone numbers, so a fully enriched lead is four credits.

Run it against the Growth plan's 2,000 credits. Scraped only, 2,000 leads. Scraped with a verified email, 1,000 leads. Fully enriched with phone numbers, 500 leads.

Then apply Scrupp's own hit rate. It claims a "~65% avg verified email find rate" with "Under 5% bounce" and SMTP verification "in real time at export". At that rate, spending 2,000 credits on 1,000 leads plus email lookups returns roughly 650 usable email addresses.

Which produces the number that matters. $158.99 divided by 650 is about 24 cents per usable email. Judged on the subscription alone it looks like six cents. Both are arithmetic on published figures; only one of them is the cost of running the workflow.

One thing we could not establish, and it is not a small one. Nothing we could find on Scrupp's pricing page or FAQ states whether a credit is consumed when an email lookup fails. At a 65 percent hit rate the difference between charging for attempts and charging for results is roughly a third of your allowance. Ask before you buy, and ask in writing.

Credits do roll over on an active subscription, and separately purchased credit packs are stated to "never expire" and to "Stack with subscriptions", in packs from 1,000 to 100,000 credits priced between $35 and $599.

The account risk question, answered as honestly as we can

This is what buyers actually want to know, so here is the full state of it. Scrupp's own position is that it operates at "normal human browsing speed" and "always within LinkedIn's rate limits", and it states that "Thousands of SDR teams export daily without restrictions, warnings, or account reviews." That is a vendor claim about the vendor's own risk profile. We report it as such and we have not tested it.

We could not read LinkedIn's User Agreement directly. It is disallowed to automated retrieval, so we are not going to quote or characterise its exact wording from memory or from a secondary source. What we can say is that LinkedIn restricts accounts at its own discretion and does not have to justify it to you.

The legal position is narrower than either side usually implies. In hiQ Labs v LinkedIn the Ninth Circuit held that "It is likely that when a computer network generally permits public access to its data, a user's accessing that publicly available data will not constitute access without authorization under the CFAA", and that "A violation of the terms of use of a website - without more - cannot establish liability under the CFAA."

But read what the court did not decide. It said explicitly that "Although we do not decide the question ... it may be that web scraping exceeding the scope of the website owner's consent gives rise to a common law tort claim." A federal computer crime statute not applying is not the same as a contract being unenforceable, and neither question governs whether LinkedIn switches your account off.

So the practical risk is commercial, not criminal, and it sits on the account, which is the asset. If the seat is the founder's personal profile with eight years of network on it, price the downside accordingly. Our note on LinkedIn limits and warm-up covers the behaviour side.

What you owe the people on the list

Exporting a contact is the start of an obligation, not the end of a task. The European Commission's guidance is that where data came from another source, an organisation must inform the individual "at the latest at the time of the first communication with them, that it has collected their personal data and that it will be processing it for sending them adverts", and that "individuals will have a right to object to such processing."

Which is a first-email design constraint. It has to be in the message, not buried in a privacy policy nobody opens. Our GDPR playbook for cold email covers how to phrase it without wrecking the email. This is not legal advice and the position differs by jurisdiction.

Who it fits, and who it does not

Already on Sales Navigator, exporting regularly. The clearest yes in this review. You have already paid the expensive part and Scrupp is a cheap, well-scoped tool on top of it.

Already on Sales Navigator, exporting occasionally. The free tier's 100 credits a month may genuinely be enough, and the one-time credit packs suit lumpy usage better than a subscription.

Not on Sales Navigator, high volume. Look hard at database products before you buy the seat. You are comparing $159 a month against tools that need no LinkedIn login and carry no account risk at all.

Not on Sales Navigator, low volume. The cheapest correct answer here is usually neither. The seat alone outweighs the value at low volume.

Anyone whose LinkedIn account is the business. Weigh the account, not the subscription. That calculation is personal and nobody else can run it for you.

What we do not publish here

A verdict on whether Scrupp is safe to use on your LinkedIn account. We have not run a controlled test, LinkedIn does not publish its enforcement criteria, and anyone offering you a confident answer on this is guessing.

An accuracy comparison against Evaboot, PhantomBuster or Apollo. That needs a matched list run through every tool at the same time, which we have not done. Every published comparison of this kind we have seen was produced by one of the tools involved.

A verified bounce rate. Under 5 percent is Scrupp's own figure and we report it as its claim.

Whether failed lookups consume credits. Not published, not assumed, flagged above as a question to ask.

Any recommendation to scrape outside a platform's terms. We do not know your contract position and we are not going to encourage a breach of it.

FAQ

How much does Scrupp really cost?

On its own, $29 to $99 a month depending on tier, or $22 to $74 billed annually. In practice, add a Sales Navigator seat at $119.99 a month for Core, because Scrupp states you need one for the Sales Navigator export it is built around. The realistic Growth figure is about $159 a month billed monthly.

How many leads can you export with Scrupp?

Every paid tier is capped at 10,000 leads per export and every Sales Navigator search is capped at 2,500 results, which is LinkedIn's limit rather than Scrupp's. Your real constraint is credits: 2,000 a month on Growth, which is 2,000 leads scraped, 1,000 with verified emails or 500 fully enriched with phone numbers.

Is Scrupp safe to use?

Scrupp states it runs inside your own browser session at human speed, never asks for your password and never sends messages or connection requests, and says thousands of teams export daily without account reviews. Those are its claims, not our test results. LinkedIn restricts accounts at its own discretion, so weigh the value of the account you would be using.

Does Scrupp need Sales Navigator?

For the Sales Navigator export, yes. Scrupp states you need an active Core, Advanced, Advanced Plus or Recruiter seat. Basic LinkedIn profile scraping is stated to work with a free account, but that is not the workflow most people buy it for.

Is Scrupp better than Evaboot?

We have not run a matched comparison and will not publish a ranking without one. The more useful question is whether you already hold a Sales Navigator seat, because that decides most of the cost either way.

What happens to unused Scrupp credits?

Monthly credits roll over on an active subscription, and separately purchased credit packs are stated never to expire and to stack with a subscription. That makes packs a reasonable fit for irregular usage.

Bottom line

Judged as a Sales Navigator export tool for someone who already pays for Sales Navigator, Scrupp is good value and sensibly built: it runs in your own session, it does not send anything on your behalf, it tells you plainly that the 2,500 cap is LinkedIn's rather than its own, and its credit scale is published and easy to check. Judged as a standalone purchase it is a $159 a month workflow wearing a $39 price tag, and at that number the comparison should be against database products that need no LinkedIn seat and put no account at risk. Work out your real cost per usable email rather than your subscription cost, ask whether failed lookups burn a credit before you commit, and if the LinkedIn account in question is the one your business runs on, price that risk before you price the tool.
