Let's be real.

The "Alternative to" section for each LTD is a far cry and mostly under delivers. #amiright

To my pleasant surprise, Captain Data is actually a legitimate Phantombuster alternative and on its way to seriously compete with those guys.

Don't get me wrong, Captain Data still have lots of work ahead of them. However, for the LinkedIn B2B lead gen automations I'm using, it's getting the job done.

It's not as easy to use as Phantombuster, but the learning curve is not bad at all and I have faith they will continue to refine the product and add more features and platform integrations.

One of the features I really like about Captain Data is the "Email Cascade" to try to find email addresses for your leads using a waterfall of different email finder services (like Hunter, Dropcontact, and a bunch of others).

The sweet part about this deal is you get "email enrichment" or email finder credits per month to use as part of your "email cascade" when trying to find those sales lead emails.

Think about how much you would pay to Hunter or Dropcontact for those email finder credits – You're welcome.

Captain Data also lets you plug into their API to put hot sauce on your automations. I haven't gotten around to that part yet, but opens the door to even more possibilities.

Don't sleep on this one.
