1. Waalaxy: best for automated outreach
Best for: Beginners and small teams on a budget
Waalaxy is the extension most people try first when they want LinkedIn invitations and follow-ups to run on their own. You pick prospects while browsing, drop them into a ready-made sequence and let the dashboard handle the timing.
- Monthly price from
- $19
- Invitations on Pro
- 300 a month
- Free trial
- 14 days
- Works with
- LinkedIn and email
Overview
Waalaxy pairs a Chrome extension with a web dashboard. The extension grabs people from LinkedIn searches, Sales Navigator lists and profiles; the dashboard turns them into campaigns built from pre-written sequences. The Pro plan costs $19 a month and allows 300 invitations a month, Advanced lifts that to 800 for $39, and Business adds cold email steps and email-finder credits for $69.
How Waalaxy works
Install the extension, connect LinkedIn, then open any search and click to import the people you want. Choose a sequence such as invite, wait, message, follow up, and Waalaxy works through the list at a steady pace while replies are pushed to your CRM or its separate Inbox add-on.
Who it is best for
Freelancers, founders and small teams who have never run LinkedIn outreach before and want something that works on day one. Heavy users will feel the Pro invitation cap, and our Waalaxy review explains where the cheaper plan starts to pinch.
What we liked
- Pro: From $19 a month, 14-day trial
- Pro: Pre-built sequences, quick setup
- Pro: LinkedIn plus email on Business
What we didn't like
- Con: Users report bugs
- Con: 300 invites a month on Pro
Price from $19/month
2. Kaspr: best for contact data
Best for: Small teams selling into Europe
Kaspr adds a contact panel to every LinkedIn profile. One click shows work emails and phone numbers, which makes it the quickest way to go from a name on LinkedIn to a real conversation.
- Monthly price from
- Free
- Paid from
- $65 per user
- Free plan
- 15 email and 5 phone credits
- Strongest in
- Europe
Overview
Kaspr's whole product lives in its extension. Without paying you can reveal a modest batch of business emails and a handful of phone numbers every month; the $65 Starter seat removes the cap on business emails and covers 100 numbers, while the $99 Business seat gives twice as many numbers. Its own site leads on European coverage, so it shines for teams selling into the UK and the EU.
How Kaspr works
Add the extension, open a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator profile and press the Kaspr button. It shows the contact details it finds, saves the lead to a list and can push it to your CRM. It doesn't send messages, so it sits alongside an outreach tool rather than replacing one.
Who it is best for
Sellers who prefer calling or emailing over LinkedIn messages, especially in Europe. Run the free plan against a few real prospects in your market before upgrading.
What we liked
- Pro: One-click data on LinkedIn profiles
- Pro: Strong European phone coverage
- Pro: Unlimited B2B emails on paid plans
What we didn't like
- Con: Phone credits are limited
- Con: Less useful outside Europe
Price from Free, paid plans from $65/month
3. Hublead: best for HubSpot users
Best for: HubSpot and Salesforce users who sell on LinkedIn
Hublead connects LinkedIn to HubSpot and Salesforce inside the browser. You see CRM details on each profile, import people with a click and log conversations, so your pipeline stays complete without manual entry.
- Monthly price from
- Free
- Paid from
- $40 per seat
- Free plan
- No user limit
- Works with
- HubSpot and Salesforce
Overview
The free Starter plan has no user limit and shows HubSpot data directly on LinkedIn profiles. Professional, at $40 a seat, adds unlimited imports of contacts and conversations plus 50 enrichment credits a month, and the Business and Scale tiers mainly raise the enrichment allowance.
How Hublead works
Install the extension and sign in to your CRM. On any LinkedIn profile a side panel shows whether the person is already a contact, lets you create or update the record, and logs messages to the timeline. Bulk Sales Navigator exports and waterfall email enrichment sit on the paid plans.
Who it is best for
Sales teams that already live in HubSpot or Salesforce and find their prospects on LinkedIn. If you don't use either CRM, there's little here for you.
What we liked
- Pro: Syncs LinkedIn contacts and messages to HubSpot
- Pro: Works with any HubSpot plan, even free
- Pro: Waterfall enrichment from 5 providers
What we didn't like
- Con: Only useful if you run HubSpot or Salesforce
- Con: Enrichment credits are small on the entry plan
Price from Free, paid plans from $40/month
4. Wiza: best for Sales Navigator exports
Best for: Teams exporting verified emails from Sales Navigator
Wiza converts Sales Navigator results into ready-to-use contact sheets. Every address is verified live as you export, and invalid ones don't cost you anything.
- Monthly price from
- Free
- Paid from
- $49 per user
- Free plan
- 20 emails, 5 phones
- Needs
- Sales Navigator for lists
Overview
Free accounts include 20 checked emails plus 5 numbers each month. Paying $49 per user lifts that to 100 emails and 100 numbers monthly, the Email plan gives 500 valid emails for $99, and Email + Phone adds 500 numbers for $199. Real-time verification is the reason to pick it over cheaper exporters.
How Wiza works
Run a Sales Navigator search, open the Wiza extension and export the list. Wiza looks up each person's work email and number, confirms they're live, then sends the file to you or straight into a connected CRM.
Who it is best for
Teams that build lists in Sales Navigator and care more about bounce rates than raw volume. Phone-heavy users may find it pricey.
What we liked
- Pro: Verifies data at the moment you request it
- Pro: Only pay for valid emails
- Pro: Clean Sales Navigator exports
What we didn't like
- Con: Built around LinkedIn sources
- Con: Pricier for phone numbers
Price from Free, paid plans from $49/month
5. Evaboot: best for clean CSV files
Best for: Sales Navigator users who need clean CSV exports
Evaboot is the tidiest way to get Sales Navigator results out of LinkedIn. It exports a whole search with one click, cleans names and job titles automatically and finds verified emails.
- Entry plan
- $29 for 400 credits
- Team seats
- No limit
- Leftover credits
- Roll over
- Phone numbers
- None
Overview
Instead of charging per person, Evaboot charges for credits: $29 buys 400 a month, $49 buys 1,000 and $99 buys 3,000, and leftovers carry over while you stay subscribed. You'll need your own Sales Navigator licence, and it sticks to emails rather than phone numbers.
How Evaboot works
Once installed, an Export button shows up beside your Sales Navigator results. Evaboot pulls every profile, removes emojis and junk from names, flags people who don't match your filters and adds verified emails, ready for your outreach tool.
Who it is best for
Anyone who already pays for Sales Navigator and wants clean lists for email campaigns without manual tidying.
What we liked
- Pro: One-click Sales Navigator export
- Pro: Automatic data cleaning
- Pro: Credits roll over, unlimited seats
What we didn't like
- Con: Needs a Sales Navigator seat
- Con: No phone numbers
Price from $29/month
Tools we looked at that didn't make the list
We also looked at these. Here is why they are not on the list.
Octopus CRM
Octopus CRM is a low-cost extension that automates invitations, messages, profile visits and endorsements.
Why it didn't make the list
It advertises getting around LinkedIn's weekly invitation cap and claims to be risk-free, both of which sit badly with LinkedIn's rules.
Who might still like it: Individuals who want a very cheap tool for a few simple tasks and accept the account risk. Everyone else should start with our Octopus CRM alternatives.
Price from $9.99/month · Tested October 2026

Lusha
Lusha is a well-known contact data extension with a free plan of 40 credits a month.
Why it didn't make the list
It overlaps with Kaspr and Wiza, and much of its newer value sits in paid platform features rather than the extension itself.
Who might still like it: Teams outside Europe who want to compare its data with Kaspr's before choosing.
Price from Free, paid plans from $49.90/month · Tested October 2026
Read our Lusha reviewWhat a LinkedIn Chrome extension actually does
A LinkedIn Chrome extension is a small add-on that sits in your browser and adds buttons, panels or automation to the LinkedIn pages you already use. Instead of copying a prospect's name into another app, you work from the profile itself.
The tools on this list split the job differently. Waalaxy runs outreach, Kaspr and Wiza find contact details, Evaboot cleans Sales Navigator exports and Hublead keeps your CRM in step with LinkedIn. Many teams use two of them together, one for data and one for outreach.
Extensions aren't the only option. Cloud platforms run outreach on remote servers so nothing depends on your laptop being open; our Aimfox outreach review covers the cloud approach we rate highest for sending campaigns.
Are LinkedIn extensions safe to use?
It depends on what the extension does. Tools that read a profile and show you extra data carry little risk. Tools that click, visit or send on your behalf are the ones LinkedIn's rules target, and its help centre lists LinkedIn's prohibited software as a reason accounts get restricted.
If you automate outreach, keep daily volumes modest, write messages that read like a person wrote them, and stop if LinkedIn shows you a warning. LinkedIn also explains its stance on bots and scripts in LinkedIn's automation guidance, which is worth reading before you start.
Install extensions only from the official Chrome Web Store listing linked from the company's own website. Copycat listings with similar names do appear.
Data extensions vs outreach extensions
| Tool | Main job | Sends messages? | Free option |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waalaxy | Outreach sequences | Yes | 14-day trial |
| Kaspr | Emails and phone numbers | No | Free plan |
| Hublead | CRM sync | No | Free plan |
| Wiza | Verified Sales Navigator exports | No | Free plan |
| Evaboot | Clean Sales Navigator exports | No | Free sign-up |
If you only need contact details, a data extension is the safer and cheaper place to start, and our LinkedIn email finder rankings compare more of them. If you want replies on LinkedIn itself, you need an outreach tool (start with the LinkedIn automation tools we rank highest), and it's worth comparing several in our full list of LinkedIn automation reviews.
A simple extension stack that works
For a small sales team, a sensible setup is one data extension plus one outreach tool. Build a list in Sales Navigator, export it with Evaboot or Wiza for email, and run LinkedIn touches through an outreach platform.
If HubSpot is your CRM, add Hublead's free plan so everyone sees who is already a contact before they reach out. It prevents two colleagues pitching the same person, which is easy to do once several people prospect on LinkedIn.
Whatever you choose, keep the number of extensions small. Each one adds clutter to LinkedIn's pages, and overlapping tools make it harder to tell which one changed something.
How to choose a LinkedIn Chrome extension
Decide what the extension should do
Extensions fall into three camps: outreach (sending invites and messages), contact data (finding emails and numbers) and CRM sync (logging LinkedIn activity). Pick the job first, then the tool. Few extensions do all three well.
Check how it touches your account
Data and CRM extensions mostly read what's on the page. Outreach extensions click and send for you, which is the kind of activity LinkedIn restricts. Read what each tool says about limits before you install it.
Look at the free plan or trial
Most tools here offer a free plan or a trial with no card. Use it on real prospects in your market, because data coverage varies a lot by country and industry.
Count the cost per user
Several extensions charge per user, so a team of five pays five times the headline price. Credit-based tools like Evaboot can be cheaper for teams that share one Sales Navigator workflow.
Make sure it works with your setup
Some features only work with Sales Navigator, and CRM sync only helps if you use the CRM it supports. Check both before paying.
How we ranked these tools
We started wide. We listed the tools people use most for this job, then dropped any that have shut down or no longer do what they claim.

We read what users say. App store and review-site feedback helped us spot problems the sales pages leave out.
We scored and ranked them. Each score reflects how well the tool does the job, how safe it is for your account, and what it costs.
FAQ
What is the best LinkedIn Chrome extension?
It depends on the job. For automated invitations and messages, Waalaxy is the easiest to start with. For emails and phone numbers, Kaspr is the quickest. For HubSpot or Salesforce users, Hublead keeps the CRM up to date.
Are there free LinkedIn Chrome extensions?
Yes. Kaspr, Hublead and Wiza all have free plans, and Waalaxy offers a 14-day trial. Free plans have small monthly allowances, so they work best for testing data quality before you pay.
Can LinkedIn ban me for using an extension?
LinkedIn's User Agreement lets it restrict accounts that use software to automate activity or scrape data. Extensions that only display information carry far less risk than ones that send invitations and messages for you.
Do I need Sales Navigator?
Not for every tool. Kaspr and Hublead work on standard LinkedIn profiles. Evaboot needs Sales Navigator, and Wiza's list exports are built around it.
Which extension finds phone numbers?
Kaspr and Wiza both return phone numbers. Kaspr includes a few on its free plan and more on paid tiers, while Wiza's phone allowance depends on the plan you choose. Evaboot doesn't offer phone numbers.
How did you choose these tools?
We compared extension-based tools we've already reviewed on what they add to LinkedIn, their effect on your account, and their monthly prices from each official pricing page. You can read our review method for the full details.
