Evaboot: what it is, how it works and what it costs in 2026

Evaboot at a glance

Evaboot is a Chrome extension that turns a Sales Navigator search into a clean CSV and, along the way, finds and verifies the email of every profile. It starts at 29 dollars a month for 400 credits, seats are unlimited, and it requires an active Sales Navigator licence.

These are the figures published on its website and its pricing page today:

What is Evaboot and what is it for?

Evaboot solves one very specific problem that anyone selling through LinkedIn knows by heart. You have Sales Navigator, you filter well, you find hundreds of profiles that match your ideal customer, and then you get stuck when you try to get them out of there. Copying profile by profile is not an option. Exporting from LinkedIn is not one either. And the data you do manage to pull out arrives dirty: odd capitalisation in names, job titles as long as a paragraph, the same company spelled three different ways.

Evaboot sits exactly in that gap. It is a Chrome extension you install on top of Sales Navigator, it reads the search you have already built and returns a file with the profiles ordered, cleaned and with each person's verified email attached. Then it pushes that file into your CRM or your sending tool with one click.

Who it makes sense for. Lead generation agencies that build lists for several clients and need to keep the work separate per account. Sales teams that pay for Sales Navigator and want to squeeze it without hiring someone to copy and paste. Prospecting freelancers who sell segmented lists. And anyone doing cold email who needs to feed campaigns with real names instead of buying a database blind.

Who it is not for. If you do not have Sales Navigator, Evaboot is useless to you, because it does not export regular LinkedIn searches. If your main channel is automating invites and messages, this is not your tool, it is the step before it. And if what you want is a huge database to filter by tech stack or revenue without building the search yourself, there are data providers that fit better.

How does Evaboot work step by step?

The flow has five steps and you understand it in five minutes. I am describing it exactly as the tool itself describes it, because there is nothing hidden behind it.

Your search comes first, not theirs

Here lies the real difference from almost everything sold as a scraper. Evaboot does not give you its own filters or a proprietary database. You build the search in Sales Navigator with the usual filters, job title, industry, company size, location, and then you hit Export in the extension. That means the quality of the list depends on how well you filter. The tool does not save you from a badly built search, it only saves you the work of extracting it.

The extension extracts, cleans and finds the email

When you launch an extraction, Evaboot walks the profiles in the search one by one, normalises the names and companies and finds each person's work email. Every lead comes out with 39 columns of profile and company data, and the CSV includes the profile headline and summary. That last detail sounds minor and it is not. Being able to scan headlines in a spreadsheet instead of opening a hundred tabs changes how fast you decide who to write to.

You download it and push it where you already work

The file downloads as a CSV and from there you could upload it by hand, but the point of the tool is not to. Evaboot connects directly to HubSpot, Pipedrive, Attio, Apollo, lemlist and Instantly, so you can drop leads into your CRM or your email sequence without touching Excel. There are also two less obvious routes. One is URL enrichment, which fills in contacts you already have saved instead of creating duplicates. The other is bulk upload, for large lists that do not come from a Sales Navigator search.

And you schedule it to repeat on its own

The feature most people end up using without realising it at first is scheduled exports. You save a search and tell it to run daily, weekly or monthly. New profiles land in your CRM without anyone clicking anything. On a campaign that runs for weeks this saves far more time than the first export, because the work stops being a task and becomes a flow.

The technical layer, API and MCP

Under the extension there is an API with four endpoints, extraction by URL, extraction by profiles, email finder and email validation, with a webhook when the job finishes. And there is something that in 2026 is no longer an exotic extra but a signal of where the industry is heading. Evaboot exposes the product over MCP, the protocol AI assistants use to talk to external tools. You can tell your agent to describe an audience, and the agent builds the search, exports the leads and verifies the emails. If you work with automations, that is where the interesting part of this tool is.

How much does Evaboot cost in 2026?

A single plan with three volumes. Everything is included in all three, there are no features locked behind a tier, and the only thing that changes is how many credits you buy each month.

The seat is always the least of your problems here, and that is a genuine advantage. You can invite your whole team and everyone spends from the same pot of credits, so you do not pay a licence per head as you do with most prospecting tools. If you have four or five people building lists, that one detail changes the final invoice.

Now the fine print, which matters. A credit is one exported lead and its verified email is included, it is not charged separately. But if it finds no email for a profile, the credit is still spent. The same goes for company accounts. Where there is real protection is in the standalone email finder and the verifier: there, an email found or checked costs one credit and nothing is charged when there is no result. Translated to your campaign: if you export a list of 400 profiles and Evaboot only finds an email for 250 of them, you have paid all 400 credits. Do that maths before you scale.

Credits you do not spend roll over to the next month, up to double your plan, so there is no classic use-it-or-lose-it. You can cancel whenever you want and keep spending what is left until the end of the period. And if you just want a one-off batch of credits, the website itself recommends subscribing and cancelling immediately.

There is no free plan, and in this category that weighs. The closest thing is starting on the 29 dollar tier, about twenty-five euros at the current rate, and deciding with real data from your niche whether it is worth moving up. With 400 credits you have enough for a decent coverage test.

Evaboot versus PhantomBuster and versus doing it by hand

Here it pays to be honest, because easy comparisons mislead. There are three paths and none of them wins at everything.

The first is doing it by hand. Copying profiles from Sales Navigator one by one is free and works if you need twenty contacts a month. Past a hundred it stops making sense, and past a thousand it is simply impossible. The cut-off point is your time, not the tool.

The second is PhantomBuster, which also pulls data from Sales Navigator and does it with more loose parts. With PhantomBuster you build more flexible and cheaper per-run automation flows, but the work of cleaning and verifying emails you end up building yourself, and in hours that costs. If you want the detail of that path, I have a separate review of PhantomBuster where I go through it with its pricing.

The third is Evaboot, which does fewer things and does them more directly. You filter, it cleans and verifies, and you receive a CSV you can already use. Less control, far less work. For an agency pulling lists every week, that difference in friction is the whole argument.

And one note that tends to confuse people. Evaboot extracts the data, it does not act on it. If what you want is to contact those profiles inside LinkedIn, the piece that comes next is another one. For that I still recommend Waalaxy, which starts at 19 euros and can be tried free for 14 days without a card, and for the cold email side there are options like Instantly, with its 14-day free trial. Evaboot is the piece before: preparing the list with names and emails that actually exist.

What do Evaboot reviews say?

I am going to tell you what I could verify and what I could not, because there is a sourcing problem here.

The good and checkable part is on its own website, which shows a rating of 4.6 out of 5 and more than 200,000 users on the extension. That is the vendor's figure, not mine, and it should be read with that caution. What I can say is that the tool has existed for years, that its founder posts tutorials in the open on his YouTube channel and that the business model is transparent on the site, with every price and the fine print published.

What I cannot use is its Trustpilot page. When I checked it, the page had a single review and it was negative, which leaves an average rating that represents nobody. One opinion is no way to judge a product, for better or worse, and I would rather say so than show you a number that means nothing. On top of that, G2 and Capterra block access from this server, so I could not cross-check its ratings there. If public reputation is going to decide your purchase, open them yourself and read the recent reviews before signing anything.

The downsides I see

Five, in order of importance.

The first is that without Sales Navigator there is nothing. Evaboot does not replace Sales Navigator, it needs it. If you do not pay for that licence, the whole tool is pointless. For many people that means two subscriptions instead of one, and that has to go into the maths.

The second is the credit that gets spent when there is no email. It is a defensible policy, but it punishes exactly the hard lists, which are the ones you care about most when the niche is narrow. In a sector with little digital presence, the real cost per useful lead can be considerably higher than the table price.

The third is that it does not give phone numbers. If your campaign lives on calls, Evaboot only covers half of it and you have to combine it with another provider. The website suggests Datagma and a 15 % discount on the first pack, so they are upfront about it, but it is one more piece to assemble.

The fourth is that the entry plan is 400 credits. For an agency pulling lists of a thousand-plus leads every week, that is short from day one and pushes you to the 99 dollar tier almost by force.

The fifth is structural, and it is not Evaboot's fault. It depends on a third party. The whole product rests on Sales Navigator and its extraction limits. If LinkedIn changes the rules of the game, the tool adapts or it limps. It has been running for years, but it is a structural risk worth keeping in mind when you sign up.

Verdict: is Evaboot worth it in 2026?

It depends on one question. Do you already have Sales Navigator and do you build lists regularly? If the answer is yes, Evaboot is one of the easiest purchases to justify I have seen in this category. It cleans, verifies and syncs in a flow that used to cost you an afternoon of copy and paste, and the price starts where basic extensions start. If that is your case, you can get started with Evaboot from 29 dollars a month, but first look at the volume you really burn in a normal month.

If the answer is no, do not bother. Without Sales Navigator this tool makes no sense, and there are better routes to the same place, such as the Apollo.io database or a standalone email finder, which is exactly what I compare in the best tools to find company emails.

What I would avoid is buying it out of habit and expecting magic. Evaboot does not give you a good list, it gives you a clean list. If the original Sales Navigator filter is bad, the CSV will be a clean CSV of people who are never going to buy. The tool removes the manual work, not the judgement. And the judgement is still yours.

Frequently asked questions about Evaboot

Is Evaboot safe for my LinkedIn account?

The tool states that every export stays within the limits LinkedIn allows, and that its approach is slower and more cautious than an aggressive scraper. Even so, this is the vendor's promise and not a guarantee I can check for you. If you use an account that matters for your sales, start with small volumes and watch how your account responds before running large extractions.

Does Evaboot work without Sales Navigator?

No. It is the most important downside of the tool and it is worth being clear about it before paying. Evaboot exports the results of your own Sales Navigator searches, so it needs you to have an active licence. You can connect several Sales Navigator accounts at once at no extra cost, but at least one has to be active.

Does Evaboot have a free plan or a free trial?

There is no free plan. The lowest price is 29 dollars a month for 400 credits and you can cancel instantly if you only wanted a one-off batch. There is no cut-down version to try for free, so your real test is the cheap first month with data from your own niche.

Does Evaboot give phone numbers?

It does not include them. Its suggested combination is to use Evaboot for email and add Datagma for phones, with a 15 % discount on the first credit pack using a code they publish themselves. If the phone is essential to your process, budget for that extra cost.

Can Evaboot do bulk sends without Sales Navigator?

It has a bulk upload feature for enriching large lists you already have, plus a standalone email finder and verifier. In other words, you can use part of the product to complete or validate contacts that do not come from a Sales Navigator search, although the heart of the tool remains the export.

If you want to tie this step to the rest of the process before buying anything, I have two reads that pair well with this one: what cold email is, to understand the channel you are going to feed these lists into, and the comparison between cold email and LinkedIn, to decide where you start.
