Kaspr Chrome extension: what it shows on LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite
Listed on the Chrome Web Store as “Kaspr: B2B Phone Number and Email Finder”, the extension adds a Kaspr panel on top of LinkedIn, where you reveal the contact details Kaspr holds on the person on screen. It exists for Chrome only and does nothing outside LinkedIn: not on company websites, not inside a CRM.
Where the panel appears, plan by plan
Profiles, people searches, groups and events work on every plan, Free included. Sales Navigator needs Starter or above, and Recruiter Lite needs Business.
A whole search at once
Rather than opening profiles one by one, you can have Kaspr enrich an entire LinkedIn search, up to 1,000 contacts (2,500 from Sales Navigator or Recruiter Lite), or a CSV file of profile URLs. How many such runs you get depends on the plan: 3 runs of 25 leads a month on Free, 3 of 500 on Starter, 10 of 1,000 on Business.
Daily use and your LinkedIn account
Kaspr publishes no daily cap on reveals. Its help centre advises spacing out profile visits and offers a setting that hides the extension on LinkedIn. On the Chrome Web Store, the extension has 100,000 users and a 4.7 rating from 1,206 ratings; version 2.0.20 dates from June 15, 2026.
Emelia’s Chrome extension comes in at the next step: inside a Sales Navigator search, its Export with Emelia button turns the search into a lead list in Emelia, to enrich with emails (1 credit per email found) or to put into a campaign (the guide).
Kaspr company profile: Paris, 2018, part of Cognism since 2022
KASPR SAS was registered in Paris on November 9, 2018 (company number 843 898 396) by Allan Benguigui and Omar Ghorbel. When Cognism bought it on April 27, 2022, Kaspr had around 1,500 customers, 50,000 users and 14 employees, and claimed 160 million contacts with an email and 30 million with a mobile number. The price was not published.
Today Kaspr claims “35+ employees”, “50K+ companies” and “100K+ active users”, with hubs in the UK and Spain; the French company register puts it at 20 to 49 employees (2024). Its registered president is Dominic Allon, Cognism’s CEO.
Kaspr or Cognism?
Same group, two products. Kaspr says the two companies “share information between our data sets”, sells through a public price list and targets individual users. Cognism, based in London, sells on quote with 5 licences included. According to Kaspr’s own comparison page, phone-verified mobile numbers, do-not-call list filtering and intent data stay with Cognism, although Kaspr’s Enterprise plan lists intent data.
What is Kaspr? Contact details pulled from a LinkedIn profile
Open a LinkedIn profile with the extension installed, click, and Kaspr shows what its database holds on that person. The pitch is aimed at “individual contributors and SMBs”: salespeople, recruiters and founders who prospect themselves.
- The database Kaspr claims: 200M+ profiles, “200 million European B2B contacts” from 150 sources, shared with Cognism. Its other pages give other figures (500 million phone numbers and emails; 120 million emails and 90 million numbers).
Three kinds of data
A work email (Kaspr calls it “B2B email”), a phone number and a personal email (“direct email”). Each one is revealed separately and paid with its own credit type.
What happens next
Leads go into lists, with tags, tasks and notes; numbers can be called through Aircall and Ringover. To email them, they leave Kaspr: export to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Zoho CRM, or to lemlist and Brevo for the campaign itself. Kaspr’s help centre (in English and French) and some older pages still mention LinkedIn sequences; the pricing page and the Chrome Web Store describe contact enrichment only, with no email campaigns.
Kaspr reviews: a well-rated extension, a poorly rated company
Users rate the extension well. Reviews of the company are harsher, mostly about billing and support. Kaspr’s Trustpilot page (1.5 out of 5, 88 reviews) is claimed by an account named “X company”, listed as a shipping company in New Delhi, not by Kaspr.
Praised
- Quick to install and simple to use
- European data and mobile numbers
- A personal email when the work one is missing
- Bulk enrichment from a search
Criticised
- Support that is hard to reach
- Cancellations and refunds refused
- Phone data quality, in some reviews
- People called on their personal mobile
Four credit types: work email, phone, personal email, export
Each type is paid separately, 1 credit per lead. Kaspr’s credits article says a credit is spent once per lead; its CSV and API pages say it is spent again on a lead enriched before. For bulk enrichment, a “required” option only spends credits when the work email or mobile is found; in the extension, “Automatic discovery” can be limited to what you ask for.
Work email
The professional address, whatever the number of addresses found. Unlimited on paid plans, capped at 10,000 per account and per month by the terms. On Free: 15 work emails a month according to Kaspr’s pricing page; unlimited once 3 colleagues have signed up, according to its help centre.
Phone
Mobile first, sometimes the company line, 1 credit even when the lead has several numbers. 100 a month per licence on Starter, 200 on Business, then paid packs.
Personal email
The private address of a business contact, for when the work one is missing: 5 a month on Starter, 200 on Business.
Export
1 credit each time a lead leaves Kaspr (CSV, Excel, CRM, lemlist…), even the same lead twice, and 1 per successful API call. Up to 12,000 exports a year on Starter and 30,000 on Business according to the pricing page; 1,000 and 2,500 a month on monthly billing according to the help centre.
Who can sign up, where Kaspr’s data comes from, and the CNIL fine
Signing up takes a work email (Gmail and similar are refused), a LinkedIn account with at least 20 connections and Chrome; Kaspr’s help centre adds that California residents cannot log in.
Kaspr relies on legitimate interest: it and its customer are independent data controllers, the people in the database can object through a form, and their data is kept 5 years from the first collection. It says it is “GDPR and CCPA aligned”, gives no legal support and does not check numbers against do-not-call lists. Kaspr’s privacy policy (December 2025) lists “social networks such as LinkedIn” among its sources, and its comparison page with Cognism says it gets contact details “directly from LinkedIn”; its help centre says the extension “does not scrape LinkedIn data”, and the CNIL wrote in March 2026 that Kaspr had chosen to stop collecting data on LinkedIn.
On December 5, 2024, the CNIL, France’s data protection authority, fined Kaspr 240,000 euros and ordered it to comply (decision SAN-2024-020), for collecting the contact details of LinkedIn users who had restricted who could see them, keeping data for 5 years from each update, informing people only from 2022 and in English, and answering access requests with “publicly available sources”. On March 4, 2026, it closed the order (decision SAN-2026-004): to comply, Kaspr chose to erase its database and stop collecting data on LinkedIn, ended the automatic renewal of retention and now informs people in every official EU language.
Kaspr vs Emelia on phone numbers, and what only one of them does
The only thing both tools sell is finding contact details, so the price lines below compare phone numbers found per month, one person, billed monthly. Kaspr wins on small volumes, since 100 or 200 numbers come with each licence; above that, the cheaper tool depends on the volume.
Same need, monthly bill
100 phone numbers a month
200 phone numbers a month
1,000 phone numbers a month
1,200 phone numbers a month
2,000 phone numbers a month
Only one of the two does it
Cold email
LinkedIn invitations and messages
Own contact database
Personal emails
Free use
Export credits
Kaspr publishes a euro price list and a dollar price list that differ (Starter at €59 or $65): Kaspr’s amounts follow your currency, and Emelia shows the same figure in euros and in dollars. Kaspr: one licence, numbers called from Kaspr, so no export credit; extra numbers bought with one monthly pack, the smallest that covers them. Emelia: 50 credits per number, monthly packs; the credits given once at signup are not counted. On phone numbers alone (one person, billed monthly), Kaspr costs less up to 700 and from 1,050 to 1,200 numbers a month, Emelia from 750 to 1,000 and from 1,250 to 2,000: Emelia’s packs go up in steps (50,000 credits cover 1,000 numbers, 100,000 cover 2,000), so the cheaper tool changes with the volume. Emails, exports and other volumes: see Kaspr pricing.
What a Kaspr licence costs
The free plan costs nothing and covers 5 numbers and 5 personal emails a month; its work emails stop at 15 a month on the pricing page, while the help centre removes that cap once 3 colleagues have joined. Then Starter at €59 and Business at €99 a month per licence, excluding VAT, and Enterprise on quote. Every user needs a licence, the admin included. Since September 2026, Kaspr’s pricing page shows monthly prices only. Its help centre still describes yearly billing (€45 a month per licence on Starter); whether it can still be bought could not be checked without an account.
Kaspr’s pricing page says unused monthly credits roll over to the next month; its terms say credits expire at the end of the subscription period, except on “certain types of PREMIUM Subscriptions”. Add-on credits never roll over, and all credits are lost on cancellation. Every plan, pack and export credit, with a calculator against Emelia, is on the Kaspr pricing page.
Kaspr alternatives, and the Lusha and Waalaxy match-ups
For phone numbers at volume, Kaspr is not the cheapest option: in dollars, Apollo’s credits cost less per number above a hundred or so a month, and Emelia costs less on some volumes, as the table above shows. The Kaspr alternatives page sets out what each competitor charges for a number, from Lusha and Apollo to Cognism and ZoomInfo.
The two most searched match-ups have their own page: Kaspr vs Lusha, two extensions with very different billing, and Kaspr vs Waalaxy, a contact finder against a LinkedIn automation tool.
Extension, login, API and logo: Kaspr questions
Search for “Kaspr” on the Chrome Web Store and add it to Chrome, then sign in to Kaspr, or create an account with a work email. From then on, it shows up on the LinkedIn profiles you open.
At app.kaspr.io/signin, where the “Sign in” button on kaspr.io leads. The web app is where lists, exports and calls live; the extension is the other way in.
Yes. On request, from Starter: 20 requests an hour and 250 a day according to the English pricing page, 60 a day according to the French, German and Spanish ones. It takes a standard LinkedIn profile URL and returns emails, phone numbers, job and company; each successful call spends the data credits plus 1 export credit. On Free: no API according to Kaspr’s API page, “basic API access” according to its help centre.
In Kaspr’s press kit (kaspr.io/press-kit): its “Download Logo Files” link gives a PNG file.
Yes: 240,000 euros on December 5, 2024, made public on December 19, 2024. The order that came with it was closed on March 4, 2026, after Kaspr erased its database and stopped collecting data on LinkedIn, according to the CNIL.
Emelia is a Kaspr competitor. We have tried to stay fair: every figure about Kaspr comes from its own website or public review sites.
