Editorial Face-off

The Case for PhantomBuster

PhantomBuster is the go-to tool for no-code social media automation and LinkedIn scraping. It's incredibly versatile with 100+ Phantoms, but users should be aware of platform TOS risks and the learning curve for complex workflows.

The Case for Waalaxy

Waalaxy is the go-to LinkedIn automation tool for simplicity and value. Its free tier, pre-made templates, and AI writer make it perfect for individuals and small teams. The Business plan adds email for true multi-channel outbound. Best for those who want LinkedIn as their primary acquisition channel.
