Kaspr and Emelia in 30 seconds
- Emails
- 10,000 work emails a month, found and exported to a sending tool, cost $373 at Kaspr (Starter licence plus export credits) and $99 at Emelia, with no export credit. At 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 emails, Emelia costs less than Kaspr, in euros and in dollars.
- Exports and licences
- Past its export quota (up to 12,000 a year on Starter, 30,000 on Business), every lead that leaves Kaspr costs an export credit, and every user needs a licence. Emelia has no export credit and no per-user fee.
- Credits and sending
- Kaspr’s pricing page says unused monthly credits roll over, its terms say they expire at the end of the period, add-on packs never carry over, and everything is lost when you cancel. Emelia’s credits stay valid 12 months, even after you cancel. Kaspr sends nothing; Emelia’s Start ($37 a month) sends from 3 mailboxes and runs 1 LinkedIn account.

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 a whole search (up to 1,000 contacts from a LinkedIn search; Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite searches work too) 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 works on the same LinkedIn profiles: a floating Emelia button finds the person’s email and phone number (credits only when found) and adds them to an Emelia campaign, by email, on LinkedIn or both; 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, and where Kaspr’s data comes from
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’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, on the other hand, says the extension “does not scrape LinkedIn data”. Besides LinkedIn, the same policy names business directories such as Whois and GitHub, and “our data partners”.
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, with Emelia’s credit subscription on its own: buying credits takes no Emelia plan. Even against the 100 or 200 numbers included in each Kaspr licence, Emelia’s credits cost less at 20, 100, 1,000 and 2,000 numbers a month.

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 found across several providers, refunded when none is found, paid with the smallest monthly pack that covers them, whose credits stay valid 12 months. On phone numbers alone (one person, billed monthly; Kaspr’s free plan also gives the first 5 numbers a month at no cost), at each of Emelia’s pack sizes: Emelia’s credits cost less for 20, 100, 1,000 and 2,000 numbers a month; the two cost the same for 200: both sell numbers in steps (50,000 Emelia credits cover 1,000 numbers, 100,000 cover 2,000), so for a volume between two of Emelia’s packs the cheaper tool can change. 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 $65 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: Emelia costs less at several 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.
Natively, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Zoho CRM on the CRM side, lemlist and Brevo for sending campaigns, and Aircall and Ringover for calls; Zapier comes on top from Starter. Every lead pushed to a CRM or a sending tool spends an export credit.
