Vayne is a cloud-based LinkedIn scraper designed for sales teams, growth agencies, and SDR professionals who need to quickly and securely extract large volumes of prospect data from LinkedIn Sales Navigator. The platform is built around one core promise: raising the industry’s standard daily export limit of 2,500 to 15,000 profiles per day, without putting your LinkedIn account at risk.
The Sales Navigator scraper is our flagship product. You connect your Sales Navigator account, submit a search URL or a saved search, and Vayne handles the data extraction in the cloud. No browser extension, no local plugin running on your machine. Because everything happens server-side, LinkedIn cannot detect the familiar fingerprint of a browser-based scraper injecting code into your page—the main cause of account bans with older tools. For queries returning more than 2,500 results, Vayne automatically splits the job into compliant batches—a step that most competitors leave for the user to manage manually.
Beyond raw data extraction, the platform automatically cleans the data in every export: duplicates are flagged and removed, emojis and special characters are stripped from names and titles, and capitalization inconsistencies are corrected. This is important in practice because Sales Navigator results are notoriously messy, and manually cleaning a 20,000-row CSV file before importing it into an outreach tool can take hours.
A more recent addition is the LinkedIn Profile & Company Scraper, which works with individual URL lists rather than Sales Navigator searches. You provide a batch of LinkedIn profile URLs, and Vayne returns structured data for each one—in real time, directly from LinkedIn at the moment of the request, not from a cached database. The same credit pool and API key cover both products. The platform also includes a Posts Scraper for extracting commenters and likers from any LinkedIn post—a useful signal for intent-based prospecting—and a Reverse Email Lookup feature that lets you identify LinkedIn profiles from known email addresses.
For teams that want to automate rather than perform manual tasks, Vayne provides a full REST API starting with the Starter plan. It supports single and batch scraping jobs, webhook notifications when a job completes, session cookie management, and credit balance queries. The API documentation is publicly available and intentionally designed to be easily pasted into an LLM for quick integration. Native integrations are available with Make.com and n8n, and the webhook architecture makes it compatible with most automation platforms.
Email and phone enrichment is available as a separate add-on, purchased using its own credit pool. This enhances profile data with contact details sourced from GDPR-compliant databases, making the scraper and enrichment combination a comprehensive outbound data pipeline that does not require a third-party tool.
Vayne offers a free plan and four paid monthly plans, all based on the number of LinkedIn profiles you can export per month. Annual billing is available with a discount equivalent to two months free. Email enrichment credits are sold separately under a different pricing structure. All prices exclude VAT.
| Plan | Monthly price | Annual price | Monthly exports | API access |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 200 leads per month | No |
| Freelancer | $29/month | $290/year | 10,000 leads per month | No |
| Starter | $49/month | $490/year | 20,000 leads per month | Yes |
| Growth | $99/month | $990/year | 50,000 leads per month | Yes |
| Expand | $159/month | $1,590/year | 100,000 leads per month | Yes |
All plans include automatic data cleaning, scheduled data extractions, duplicate detection, LinkedIn profile validation, CSV export, and email support. Video support (15-minute sessions) and API access are available starting with the Starter plan. For volumes exceeding 100,000 leads per month, custom pricing is available by contacting the Vayne team directly. Email and phone enrichment credits are priced separately and can be purchased independently of the scraper subscription.
1️⃣ If you are a freelancer or consultant:
Kaspr is the most GDPR-compliant option for consultants targeting European prospects. It works as a Chrome extension directly on LinkedIn, enriches profiles with verified email addresses and phone numbers on the spot, and does not require Sales Navigator. For someone building targeted lists of 50 to 200 contacts per week rather than thousands, it is a more comprehensive tool despite its lower volume limit. Datagma covers a similar niche with a pay-per-use enrichment API that works well for consultants who need occasional bursts of data rather than a monthly volume commitment. Hunter Email is worth considering when the primary need is verifying or finding professional emails from company domains, and the need for LinkedIn scraping is secondary.
2️⃣ If you are a startup:
PhantomBuster remains the go-to tool for startups that want to chain LinkedIn actions together (scrape a search, visit profiles, send connection requests, automate a message sequence) all within a single workflow. It covers a broader range of features than Vayne, though it carries a higher account risk and requires more technical configuration. Apollo.io is a fundamentally different type of tool: rather than scraping LinkedIn, it gives you access to a proprietary database of over 275 million contacts, including emails, direct phone numbers, and firmographic data. For startups seeking a more self-contained prospecting platform without having to build multi-tool pipelines, Apollo eliminates much of the setup work. Clay takes data enrichment even further, using a waterfall approach across 75+ data sources to maximize match rates—making it better suited for growth teams running intent-based or highly segmented campaigns than for teams that simply need bulk exports.
3️⃣ If you are an SMB or a mid-sized company:
Waalaxy combines LinkedIn scraping with built-in outreach sequences (connection requests, LinkedIn messages, email), making it a more integrated option for sales teams that want to move from list to campaign without switching tools. The volume limits are lower than Vayne’s, but the workflow continuity often makes it the more practical choice for a structured SDR team. Lemlist is the natural pairing tool for companies already using Vayne for data extraction—it handles the outreach side with strong personalization capabilities and multi-channel sequencing. DropContact is worth noting as a dedicated email enrichment and data cleaning service, particularly strong on French and European company data, that fits seamlessly into a Vayne-based pipeline as the enrichment layer. For companies that need enterprise-grade data infrastructure across multiple channels beyond LinkedIn, Bright Data offers the most comprehensive proxy and scraping stack, at a significantly higher cost.
Otherwise, these other software programs may also be a good alternative to Vayne.
