The Kaspr Chrome extension is a LinkedIn prospecting add-on that lets salespeople and recruiters reveal business email addresses and phone numbers without leaving the page they are browsing. It works on standard LinkedIn and, depending on the Kaspr plan, can also be used with Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite. Contacts can then be saved in Kaspr, exported, or sent to connected tools such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Aircall, and Ringover.
The extension is easy to install, but choosing it should not be based on installation speed alone. The important questions are whether Kaspr covers your target market, how quickly its different credit balances are consumed, and whether your team needs only contact lookup or a complete prospecting workflow.
This guide explains how the Kaspr extension works in 2026, what each plan includes, how credits are charged, which LinkedIn environments are supported, and when a more complete browser extension such as Zeliq may be a better fit.
On the agenda:
- What the Kaspr Chrome extension does
- How to install and activate it safely
- Compatibility with LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, and Recruiter Lite
- The individual and bulk-enrichment workflows
- The Kaspr plans that include each LinkedIn environment
- Phone, direct email, B2B email, and export credits
- CRM, dialer, and automation integrations
- The main alternatives to the Kaspr extension
- A repeatable seven-day evaluation protocol
- Answers to the most common questions
Key takeaways:
- Chrome Web Store footprint: 100,000 users and a 4.7/5 rating from approximately 1,200 reviews at the time of verification.
- Core use case: reveal phone numbers, professional emails, direct emails, and company information from LinkedIn.
- Free plan: 5 phone credits, 5 direct email credits, and 10 export credits per month.
- Sales Navigator: included from the Starter plan.
- Recruiter Lite: included in the Business plan.
- Credit structure: contact data and exports use separate balances, so the displayed subscription price is not the only usage constraint.
- Best fit: users who have already identified prospects on LinkedIn and mainly need contact data.
- Zeliq difference: its extension can capture, enrich, assign, add to a sequence, create tasks, and synchronize the contact with HubSpot from the same workflow.
Our verdict: Kaspr is a practical extension when LinkedIn is already your main sourcing environment and the next step is simply to reveal contact details. If your team also wants to search, enrich, assign, sequence, call, and synchronize prospects without exporting them between several tools, Zeliq covers a broader workflow.
1. What the Kaspr Chrome extension does
The extension overlay principle
The Kaspr extension adds a panel to supported LinkedIn pages. When a user opens a profile or a compatible search context, the panel can display a preview of the data Kaspr may have for that contact.
The user then chooses which information to reveal. Kaspr separates professional emails, direct emails, phone numbers, and exports into different credit categories. This distinction matters because revealing a number and sending the same contact to a CRM do not consume the same balance.
Kaspr states that its platform provides access to more than 500 million phone numbers and email addresses, sourced from more than 150 sources and associated with more than 200 million professional profiles. These are vendor-reported figures and should not be interpreted as a guaranteed coverage rate for every country or audience.
What data the extension can display
Depending on availability and the credits selected, the extension can reveal:
- professional email addresses;
- direct or personal email addresses used in a professional context;
- mobile and other available phone numbers;
- the current role and employer;
- company information;
- options to save, assign, export, call, or send the lead to another tool.
One phone credit is charged per lead, regardless of whether Kaspr returns one or several phone numbers for that profile. The same principle applies separately to B2B email and direct email credits.
How contact revelation works
The extension does not simply copy the visible information from a LinkedIn profile. Kaspr states that the contact data comes from its own database and data providers. When the user requests a type of information, the relevant Kaspr credit is used if that information is revealed.
Users can configure automatic discovery in the extension and decide whether professional emails, direct emails, and phone numbers should be selected by default. Disabling automatic discovery is useful when a team wants to protect its phone or direct-email balance and reveal only the data required for a specific campaign.
What the extension does not replace
The extension makes contact lookup easier, but it does not eliminate every other part of the sales stack.
A team may still need separate tools for:
- building prospect lists outside LinkedIn;
- advanced account and contact filtering;
- email and multichannel sequences;
- calling and call logging;
- CRM synchronization and reporting;
- team assignment and pipeline governance.
This is the central distinction between a contact-data extension and an integrated prospecting platform.
2. Installation from the Chrome Web Store
Prerequisites
Before installing Kaspr, you need:
- a current version of Google Chrome;
- a Kaspr account;
- a personal LinkedIn account connected to Kaspr;
- at least 20 LinkedIn connections, according to Kaspr's current account requirements.
The minimum connection requirement is intended to discourage spam accounts and protect the service from obviously artificial LinkedIn profiles.
Installation steps
- Open the official Kaspr page in the Chrome Web Store.
- Click “Add to Chrome”.
- Review the requested permissions and confirm the installation.
- Pin the extension to the Chrome toolbar if you want permanent access.
- Create a Kaspr account or sign in.
- Connect the extension to your personal LinkedIn account.
- Open a supported LinkedIn profile and verify that the Kaspr panel appears.
The extension was listed at version 2.0.20 and had been updated on June 15, 2026 when this article was checked. The Chrome Web Store displayed more than 100,000 users and a rating of 4.7/5 from roughly 1,200 evaluations.
Check permissions and privacy before deployment
Like any browser extension that operates on professional profiles, Kaspr requires access to the pages where it runs and handles account information needed for its core functionality.
Before rolling it out to a team, review:
- the Chrome Web Store privacy disclosure;
- Kaspr's privacy policy and personal data charter;
- the permissions requested by the extension;
- your company's browser-extension approval process;
- your own legal basis and opt-out process for outbound prospecting.
Verifying that the extension is active
After installation, open an individual LinkedIn profile and click the Kaspr icon. The panel should load the profile context and show the available reveal options.
If the panel does not appear:
- confirm that the extension is enabled in Chrome;
- verify that you are signed in to Kaspr;
- check that the LinkedIn account is connected;
- reload the LinkedIn page;
- review whether the page type is supported by your plan.
Avoid presenting a browser restart as a guaranteed fix. If the issue persists, the extension version, page permissions, authentication, LinkedIn interface changes, or the selected Kaspr plan may be involved.
3. LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, and Recruiter Lite compatibility
Compatibility depends partly on the Kaspr plan
| LinkedIn environment | Kaspr access | Plan requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Standard LinkedIn profiles | Profile-level contact revelation and lead saving | Free and paid plans |
| LinkedIn groups and events | Contact discovery from supported pages | Available through the extension, subject to plan and credit limits |
| LinkedIn Sales Navigator | Profiles, searches, lists, and enrichment workflows | Starter or Business |
| LinkedIn Recruiter Lite | Candidate profiles and compatible enrichment workflows | Business |
The source article treated all environments as if they were included in every plan. Kaspr's current pricing documentation is more specific: standard LinkedIn access is included in Free, Sales Navigator support is listed under Starter, and Recruiter Lite support is listed under Business.
Using Kaspr with Sales Navigator
Sales Navigator is useful when a sales team needs more precise LinkedIn filters and larger saved lead lists. Kaspr can then reveal and organize the contact data attached to the profiles found through those searches.
Kaspr's enrichment workflows can process a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator people search, apply rules such as “phone required” or “professional email required,” save the results to a lead list, and optionally send successful enrichments to an integration.
Kaspr's help center states that an enrichment run can include up to 1,000 contacts from a standard LinkedIn search and up to 2,500 from Sales Navigator or Recruiter Lite, subject to the limits of the selected plan and available credits.
Using Kaspr with Recruiter Lite
Recruiter Lite support belongs to the Business plan. Recruiters can use the extension and compatible workflows to search for available contact details associated with candidate profiles.
Kaspr documents Recruiter Lite specifically. Teams using other LinkedIn recruiting products should verify compatibility during a live test rather than assuming that every Recruiter interface is supported in the same way.
LinkedIn usage still requires restraint
Using an extension does not remove LinkedIn's own activity and security controls. Kaspr itself advises users to avoid sudden or repetitive profile-viewing patterns and to keep their LinkedIn account complete and normally active.
For safer use:
- start with a modest number of profiles;
- avoid opening profiles in a robotic sequence;
- use precise search filters instead of browsing indiscriminately;
- spread work across normal business hours;
- prefer controlled workflows over frantic manual profile hopping;
- review LinkedIn's current terms and your internal compliance policy.
4. Daily workflow: from profile to usable lead
Individual-profile workflow
- Identify a relevant prospect on LinkedIn.
- Open the Kaspr panel.
- Select the data types you actually need.
- Reveal the professional email, direct email, phone number, or a combination.
- Save the contact to a Kaspr list.
- Export it to a connected tool only when necessary.
- Record the outcome in your CRM or sales workflow.
The important optimization is not to reveal every available data type automatically. A phone-first campaign may not need direct emails, while an email-only campaign may not need a phone reveal.
Bulk enrichment from search lists
Kaspr's sales-automation workflows are designed for larger lists. The user can create an enrichment rule, choose mandatory information, run it on a compatible LinkedIn search, and route successful results to a lead list or CRM.
Mandatory criteria help protect credits. For example:
- “Professional email required” spends the relevant credit only when at least one professional email is found.
- “Mobile required” focuses the workflow on profiles where a number can be supplied.
- Requiring both email and phone makes the list smaller but more immediately usable for multichannel outreach.
CRM and tool synchronization
Kaspr provides integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Lemlist, Brevo, Aircall, Ringover, and Zapier.
Depending on the integration, a user can:
- create or update a contact;
- map Kaspr fields to CRM properties;
- send the lead to a list or campaign;
- call from the Kaspr web application through a connected dialer;
- trigger additional actions through Zapier.
Every export uses an export credit, including exports to a CRM. Repeatedly exporting the same contact can therefore consume several export credits even though the underlying phone or email was revealed only once.
Where workflow friction remains
Kaspr can retrieve and transfer the contact, but the extension is not always the final execution layer. Many teams still move between LinkedIn, Kaspr, a sequencing tool, a dialer, and a CRM.
Zeliq's extension is designed to reduce this handoff. From the extension, a user can add or assign the prospect, enrich email and phone data, create an email or call task, call through a connected dialer, add the lead to a sequence, and identify contacts already present in Zeliq or HubSpot.
5. Kaspr plans that support the extension
The prices below were verified in July 2026. Kaspr may change its pricing, currencies, allowances, or plan structure, so check the official pricing page before purchasing.
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing | Extension-related allowances |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | €0 | €0 | Standard LinkedIn extension, 5 phone credits, 5 direct email credits, 10 export credits per month |
| Starter | €59 per license/month | €45 per license/month | Sales Navigator, unlimited B2B emails, 100 phone credits/month or 1,200/year, 5 direct emails/month or 60/year |
| Business | €99 per license/month | €79 per license/month | Recruiter Lite, unlimited B2B emails, 200 phone credits/month or 2,400/year, 200 direct emails/month or 2,400/year |
Free plan
The Free plan is suitable for testing the interface on a small sample. It includes:
- the standard LinkedIn Chrome extension;
- 5 phone credits per month;
- 5 direct email credits per month;
- 10 export credits per month;
- up to three lead lists;
- basic API access;
- CRM integrations.
Kaspr offers unlimited B2B email credits on Free after three eligible “gold” referrals are accepted and the invited users complete the required setup. This benefit should not be described as unconditional unlimited email access for every new Free account.
Starter plan
Starter is the first plan that explicitly includes the extension inside Sales Navigator. It also provides up to ten lead lists, three enrichment workflows, Zapier, and unlimited LinkedIn cadences.
Its main limitation is the direct-email balance: 5 per month on monthly billing or 60 for the annual license. Teams relying heavily on personal email addresses may therefore need Business or add-on credits.
Business plan
Business adds Recruiter Lite, larger phone and direct-email allowances, unlimited lead lists and workflows, advanced permissions, two admin seats, more detailed reporting, and advanced API access.
It is the more coherent Kaspr plan for recruiters, phone-heavy prospecting, or teams that need more control over users and credit activity.
Do not assume an Organization plan is still public
The source article listed an Organization plan. Kaspr's current public help-center pricing page lists Free, Starter, and Business. Other workspace documentation still contains occasional references to Organization, but no current public price or allowance is provided there.
For a larger deployment, ask Kaspr directly which contract, seat, and credit options are currently available instead of publishing an estimated Organization price.
6. Phone, email, and export credits
The four Kaspr credit types
| Credit type | What it unlocks | Important rule |
|---|---|---|
| B2B email credit | A professional email address | Spent once per profile for that data category |
| Phone credit | Available professional or personal phone numbers | One credit per profile, even when several numbers are returned |
| Direct email credit | A personal email associated with a professional contact | Separate from the B2B email allowance |
| Export credit | Moving the contact to CSV, Excel, CRM, API, or another connected destination | Charged every time the profile is exported |
Personal and shared credits
On the Free plan, each user has a personal credit balance and those credits cannot be shared with colleagues in the same free workspace.
On paid plans, credits are pooled within the workspace. This can be useful when usage varies between representatives, but managers need to monitor consumption because one user can use a significant portion of the shared allowance.
Rollover and add-on credits
Kaspr lists credit rollover as a Starter benefit. The treatment of included credits depends on the billing cadence shown in the plan: monthly subscriptions provide monthly allowances, while annual subscriptions present annual totals.
Add-on credits are a separate consideration. Kaspr states that add-ons renew automatically and unused add-on credits do not roll into the next billing period. Estimate expected usage before purchasing a recurring add-on pack.
How to estimate the required allowance
Use actual workflow assumptions instead of a generic number of credits per SDR.
For each representative, estimate:
- the number of prospects researched each month;
- the percentage that need a phone number;
- the percentage that need a direct email;
- the number of times each successful lead is exported;
- the volume processed through individual profiles versus bulk workflows;
- the expected team growth during the contract.
Example: 150 researched prospects, 80 phone reveals, 20 direct-email reveals, and 100 CRM exports require three separate balances. A plan with enough phone credits can still fail if the team lacks export credits or direct-email credits.
7. CRM, dialer, and automation integrations
Connected tools
Kaspr currently promotes integrations with:
- HubSpot;
- Salesforce;
- Pipedrive;
- Zoho CRM;
- Brevo;
- Lemlist;
- Aircall;
- Ringover;
- Zapier.
Integration access is not the same as an unlimited export allowance. Sending a contact outside Kaspr still uses export credits.
What to test in a CRM integration
Before deploying the extension to the whole team, test:
- field mapping;
- duplicate handling;
- contact ownership;
- list and campaign assignment;
- the update of existing records;
- activity logging;
- the export credit consumed by each action;
- the behavior when a contact already exists.
A one-click button is only valuable when it keeps the CRM clean and does not create duplicate or incomplete records.
API access
Kaspr's API uses standard LinkedIn profile URLs and does not accept Sales Navigator URLs directly. Sales Navigator data must be handled through the Chrome extension or compatible workflows.
Successful API requests can consume data credits and an export credit. Business includes advanced API access with a documented limit of 60 requests per minute.
8. Alternatives to the Kaspr Chrome extension
Lusha
Lusha is another extension-first contact-data product. It can be relevant for teams already using the Lusha database and integrations.
The correct comparison is not simply “which extension has more contacts?” Test the same target profiles and compare coverage, accuracy, credit cost, export friction, and the quality of CRM synchronization.
Cognism Companion
Cognism targets larger data and compliance programs. Its browser extension is usually considered as part of a broader Cognism contract rather than as an inexpensive self-service lookup tool.
It may be appropriate for enterprise teams that prioritize governed data access, phone-led prospecting, and broader data operations, but pricing is quote-based.
Apollo
Apollo combines a large prospect database, contact revelation, sequences, calling, workflows, and CRM integrations.
It is broader than Kaspr, although its interface and credit model can require more configuration. Teams should compare the quality of Apollo data on their own European and international targets instead of relying on generic geographic claims.
Zeliq
Zeliq's Chrome extension is designed to turn the page being browsed into a complete sales action, not only a lookup.
From supported profiles, searches, and company pages, users can:
- capture prospects individually or in bulk;
- retrieve verified email and phone data;
- identify records already present in Zeliq or HubSpot;
- assign the lead to a teammate;
- create email and call tasks;
- call through a connected dialer;
- add the prospect to an existing sequence;
- synchronize contacts, tasks, and activities with HubSpot.
Zeliq also uses waterfall enrichment across more than 40 providers. This reduces dependence on one data source and charges credits only when the requested information is found.
| Need | Kaspr | Zeliq |
|---|---|---|
| Reveal contact data from LinkedIn | Yes | Yes |
| Bulk capture from searches and company pages | Yes, with supported workflows and plans | Yes |
| Multi-provider enrichment | Kaspr data network | Waterfall across 40+ providers |
| Add directly to an outreach sequence | Kaspr cadences and external integrations | Yes, from the extension |
| Create call or email tasks in the extension | Depends on the Kaspr and connected-tool workflow | Yes |
| Two-way HubSpot synchronization | HubSpot integration available | Contacts, tasks, and activities synchronized |
| Free entry point | Free plan with limited credits | Free Basic plan and a 14-day Starter trial |
See how Zeliq enrichment works.
9. How to test Kaspr and Zeliq over seven days
Replace the fictional “30-day case study” from the original article with a documented internal benchmark.
Build a representative sample
Select 50 to 100 profiles that match your real ICP. Include different countries, company sizes, seniority levels, and functions if those differences exist in your market.
Do not build the test from profiles where the answer is already known. The sample should resemble the prospects your representatives actually need to reach.
Measure data quality
| Metric | How to calculate it |
|---|---|
| Email coverage | Profiles with at least one email found ÷ total profiles tested |
| Phone coverage | Profiles with at least one phone found ÷ total profiles tested |
| Email validity | Deliverable emails ÷ emails supplied |
| Phone accuracy | Numbers reaching the intended contact ÷ numbers dialed |
| Current employment accuracy | Profiles with the correct current company and role ÷ profiles checked |
| Credit efficiency | Credits consumed ÷ usable data points obtained |
| Workflow time | Minutes from identifying a profile to launching the first action |
Test the whole workflow, not just the reveal
For ten selected contacts, continue beyond the reveal:
- save or assign the contact;
- send it to the CRM;
- add it to an outreach sequence;
- create a call task;
- record the response or call result;
- check whether the activity is visible to the rest of the team.
This reveals whether the extension merely finds data or genuinely reduces the time required to generate conversations.
Calculate total cost
Include:
- the extension subscription;
- LinkedIn or Sales Navigator;
- additional data credits;
- the sequencing platform;
- the dialer;
- the CRM;
- integration or automation tools;
- administration and cleanup time.
A lower extension price does not automatically create a lower total cost when several additional subscriptions and manual handoffs remain necessary.
10. Frequently asked questions
What are the Kaspr Free plan limits?
The Free plan includes 5 phone credits, 5 direct email credits, and 10 export credits per month. It supports the standard LinkedIn extension, up to three lead lists, basic API access, and CRM integrations.
Unlimited B2B email credits require three accepted and completed gold referrals. They should not be treated as an automatic allowance for every free user.
Does Kaspr work with Sales Navigator?
Yes, but the current pricing documentation lists the Sales Navigator extension as a Starter benefit. Standard LinkedIn is available on Free, while Recruiter Lite is listed under Business.
Does Kaspr work with Recruiter Lite?
Yes. Recruiter Lite support is included in the Business plan. Teams using another LinkedIn recruiting interface should verify it directly rather than assuming identical compatibility.
Do several phone numbers for one lead use several phone credits?
No. Kaspr states that one phone credit is charged per lead profile, even when several phone numbers are returned. Exporting the same lead more than once can, however, use an export credit each time.
What are the main alternatives?
Lusha is a comparable contact-data extension, Cognism targets larger enterprise data programs, Apollo combines data with a wider sales-engagement platform, and Zeliq connects browser capture directly to enrichment, assignment, tasks, multichannel sequences, calls, and CRM synchronization.
11. Conclusion: should you install the Kaspr extension?
