Cleanlist vs Kaspr
Kaspr only extracts LinkedIn contacts. Cleanlist enriches from 15+ sources with bulk processing, ICP scoring, and CRM sync. Not just a Chrome extension.
Kaspr wins if your reps live inside LinkedIn all day and want instant phone numbers while browsing, especially for European contacts where Kaspr's coverage is strongest. Cleanlist wins when you need to enrich lists in bulk from a CSV or CRM, not one profile at a time. Kaspr reveals contacts from a single source. Our waterfall checks 15+ providers before returning a verified email or phone.
Kaspr is great for quick LinkedIn lookups via its Chrome extension, but it's limited to one-at-a-time prospecting. Cleanlist offers bulk enrichment from 15+ providers with native Sales Navigator extraction, ICP scoring, and CRM sync.
Decision Matrix: Which One to Pick
Honest, side-by-side guidance — no “always pick us” spin.
Choose Cleanlist if
- You need to enrich a whole CSV or CRM list at once, not click reveal on profiles one at a time
- Your team is growing and Kaspr's per-user monthly pricing starts to add up as you add seats
- You want one email or phone number backed by 15+ sources, not a single-source guess
- Most of your prospects sit outside Western Europe, where Kaspr's coverage gets thin
- You want ICP scoring, Smart Agents, and AI columns, not just a contact reveal button
Choose Kaspr if
- Your reps prospect inside LinkedIn and Sales Navigator all day and want reveals in-browser
- Your ICP is concentrated in Europe, where Kaspr's European coverage (French roots, strong EU focus) is genuinely good
- You want a free plan to start with limited phone and email credits before committing
- You need GDPR and CCPA-compliant sourcing from an established, Cognism-owned data company
- You want the simplest possible tool for ad-hoc lookups, not a full enrichment platform

See how Cleanlist compares to Kaspr
Try Free“Kaspr is a sharp single-purpose tool: drop the extension on a LinkedIn profile and you get a phone number, often a good one if the person is based in Europe. That is a real workflow, and Kaspr's phone data is legitimate, especially given Cognism sits behind it. It just is not the same job as enriching a 5,000-row list before a campaign, which is exactly where a one-at-a-time Chrome extension falls apart and a multi-provider waterfall earns its keep.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kaspr owned by Cognism?
+
Yes. Cognism acquired Kaspr in 2022, so Kaspr sits under an established European data company. That backing is real, but Kaspr stays a lightweight LinkedIn reveal extension while Cognism sells its enterprise product separately. Cleanlist is neither: it blends 15+ third-party providers in a waterfall rather than relying on a single source.
Does Kaspr work well for contacts outside Europe?
+
Less well. Kaspr's coverage is strongest across Western Europe, and hit rates tend to drop for US and APAC contacts. Cleanlist runs a 15+ provider waterfall, so if one source misses a US mobile number, the next source in the cascade can still fill it. For non-EU lists, the multi-source approach usually wins.
Can I use Kaspr without the LinkedIn extension?
+
Not really. Kaspr has a web app for managing leads, but the product is built around revealing contacts on LinkedIn and Sales Navigator profiles in the browser, so it is awkward for enriching a spreadsheet you already have. Cleanlist starts from a CSV, a CRM export, or an API call, enriches every row in bulk, and never requires you to open a LinkedIn tab.
Do Kaspr and Cleanlist solve the same problem?
+
Not exactly. Kaspr is a per-profile reveal tool for reps living inside LinkedIn, while Cleanlist is a bulk enrichment platform for cleaning and enriching entire lists before a campaign. Some teams run both: a reveal extension for quick in-browser lookups and a waterfall like Cleanlist for the heavy list work.
Is Kaspr better for LinkedIn prospecting than Cleanlist?
+
Kaspr's Chrome extension provides instant lookups while browsing LinkedIn. Cleanlist offers native bulk extraction from Sales Navigator, pulling entire lead lists at once rather than one-at-a-time. For scale, Cleanlist is more efficient.
Is Cleanlist cheaper than Kaspr for teams?
+
Yes, as your team grows. Kaspr charges $65-99 per user per month. Cleanlist's Pro plan at $229/mo covers the entire team with no per-user fees, so the per-seat math tips in Cleanlist's favor as you add reps.
