great help with social leads
This tool doesn't get enough love compared to some hyped ones that don't even work properly. Maybe it's because the interface is a bit outdated or the leads are not EXACTLY 100% what you need (but come on, it's bulk keyword-based social scraping with no human oversight – you can't expect perfection).
While I don't need those social leads right now, as they don't fit into whatever I am doing at the moment, I can see that they can provide significant value if I suddenly have a use case for them.
Some cons:
- Documentation seems to be missing (I get redirected to a 404 page when I click on "how it works" in different sections of the dashboard).
- Support is not as fast as I would hope for (I reached out through Telegram and expected an immediate response, but I haven't heard from support so far, although it's Friday after hours).
- The roadmap hasn't been updated lately.
Pros:
- The platform is super intuitive (so I am not really upset about the 404s).
- The email validation works pretty well; I cross-checked it with EmailListValidation and BrandNav (other tools I picked up on AppSumo), and SocLeads' validation seems to be more thorough.
- It simply works! Whatever I click, I always get my leads related to my keyword, which are easily downloadable and clearly explain why each address appeared in the report.
So I wish the founder all the best and please keep working on SocLeads. It's great, and I hope you will continue to maintain it that way.

Already noted all issues and will be fixed. Glad the tool delivered solid leads and that validation worked well for you. Really appreciate the support — we'll keep improving!

FB Leads not the best
I found a good number of the FB leads unusable. The LinkedIn leads were generally better, but don't expect to get any phone numbers.

Mar 26, 2025Sorry to hear that not all the leads were a good fit for your industry. We’re constantly working to improve lead quality across platforms. At the moment, phone number scraping is only supported for Google Maps, but we’re exploring ways to expand this in the future.

Does not give many emails from scrape
Really easy to use, great price on AppSumo, but no choice but to refund this software. Unfortunately it prob gives me emails in only 10% of the contacts scraped. So not useful for me at all.

Mar 24, 2025Thanks for your feedback! It sounds like you're referring to scraping from Google Maps — in that case, you're absolutely right. Emails are only provided when they're publicly available on the business's website, which can limit the results.
However, if you're using our social media scraping (e.g. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) with keyword-based searches, we do provide emails in 100% of cases. If you're open to giving it another try, we'd be happy to guide you through the best way to use it for your specific needs.
Let us know if you'd like any help — we’re always here to support you!

I had no choice but to return it. Such a shame. 😞
When I first saw this tool, I was absolutely thrilled. It seemed like exactly what I had been looking for. Unfortunately, I was severely disappointed.
I operate mainly in the DACH region, so I specifically need DE contacts. I tried the various channels only to find that either there were too few entries or mostly EN entries being displayed.
The support team suggested I should only use the Multichannel option. However, the keyword functionality is quite limited, allowing only two keywords instead of a three-word phrase. Additionally, the Email Verifier kept giving me mixed results — sometimes valid, sometimes invalid. If I select the option to verify emails, why are the invalid ones still being included in the results?
The Download History cannot be deleted, which makes everything very confusing and difficult to navigate.
I truly wanted this tool to work for me. I would be more than happy to give it another try in a few months if it improves. But as it stands now, I had no choice but to return it. Such a shame. 😞

Mar 21, 2025We’re genuinely sorry to hear that Socleads didn’t meet your expectations. 😔
We understand how important it is to have highly targeted results, especially when working in specific regions like the DACH market. For more precise leads based on strict location, we recommend trying Google Maps or using keywords in the local language (e.g. German) without enabling automatic synonym expansion. This often improves the relevance of results significantly.
We truly appreciate your honest input and hope to make meaningful improvements based on it. If you ever decide to give Socleads another try, we’d love to hear from you and assist however we can.

Has value now and shows considerable promise
Liked:
1. Very impressive that it can scrape across multiple social medias
2. Quick and very easy to use
3. Loads of potential and worth the money I think
Disliked:
1. No phone numbers, not even from Google Maps scrape
2. Doesn't offer targeting of Facebook Groups or LinkedIn Groups, which seriously diminishes its value to me.
3. No public roadmap so I can't tell whether these features will get implemented or not in the future, which doesn't help us decide whether to stick with it during the 60 day AppSumo period.

Mar 11, 2025Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear you find SocLeads valuable and see its potential. 😊
To address your concerns:
1️⃣ Google Maps phone numbers – If a business lists its phone number publicly on Google Maps, SocLeads does scrape it. However, if the number isn’t displayed, we can’t retrieve it. That said, we’re actively working on adding the ability to scrape phone numbers directly from websites, which should further enhance the data you receive.
2️⃣ Facebook & LinkedIn Groups – We understand the importance of group targeting and are exploring ways to incorporate it in the future.
3️⃣ Public roadmap – We do have a public roadmap, and we’ll be updating it soon to reflect all the latest feature requests, including yours! Stay tuned for more details.
We truly appreciate your feedback—it helps us make SocLeads even better. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to reach out! 🚀
