PhantomBuster

PhantomBuster, a Paris startup founded in 2016 and through Station F, offers a library of 'Phantoms': ready-to-use automation scripts for extracting LinkedIn profiles, sending mass invites and messages, scraping Instagram/Twitter posts or followers and enriching prospect lists. Automations chain as no-code workflows with cloud execution on schedule. The Starter plan ($69/month, or ~$56/month billed annually) gives 20 execution hours and 5 active Phantom slots; the Pro plan ($159/month) goes to 80 hours and 15 slots; the Team plan ($439/month) adds multi-user collaboration.

Though developed by a French team and widely used by French growth hackers and salespeople (many French tutorials available), the product interface itself remains English, without official French localization. Large-scale LinkedIn action automation risks account throttling or ban if platform quotas are exceeded, a caution to know before intensive prospecting use. An API allows orchestrating Phantoms from third-party tools like Zapier or Make.
