Enhanced Data Coverage

Both Captain Data and Phantombuster allow you to make informed decisions based on real-time, fresh data. What sets Captain Data apart is our ability to integrate external B2B data providers such as Zoominfo, Clearbit or Lusha into your customized workflows.

To give you the most complete data coverage, we standardize the output for each provider so that you can export and use the data immediately, without the need for code.

Plug and Play

Personalized Workflows With Minimal Setup

Captain Data and Phantombuster offer a variety of automations to help you accelerate your growth. However, Phantombuster becomes increasingly overwhelming the further you go in automating your experiments.

Captain Data's workflow templates are designed to speed up the process of setting up advanced workflows. Within minutes, you can automate tasks and keep your data consistent, regardless of the source. This saves you time and effort and allows you to easily distribute work among your team. As a result, you'll be able to handle the growing demand for data as you take on more clients.

Advanced Scaling Capabilities

Scale as Your Team Grows

Phantombuster is limited when you want to scale your experiments, especially when you need to onboard your sales and growth team. Since each team member has their own access to Captain Data, they can share the same data setup and management, making onboarding much more efficient.

Case in point: we helped the Fintech scale-up Agicap automate their lead generation at a time when they needed to scale from 2 to over 40 salespeople in 7 countries. By automating all manual steps, Captain Data enabled Agicap's sales team to focus on value-added tasks, such as hyper-targeted selling, and ultimately exceed their initial scaling goals.

Automate Safely

Keep Your Accounts Secure (Really) 

Phantombuster's promise of no account limits sounds appealing, but it is by no means safe. It requires you to keep track of daily account limits for your entire team, often manually, which puts you at risk of being suspended or banned. Instead of being locked out of the accounts that keep your data engine running, take advantage of Captain Data's Smart Account Limits.

We automatically calculate scraping limits for all your accounts, so you don't have to waste time doing it yourself. We communicate these limits to you for each data provider, so you can focus on the experiments that keep your team going.

Is Captain Data a Viable Alternative to Phantombuster?

A success story from our client:

Agicap Logo
François de Froment
Head of Growth @ Agicap
“Other B2B data extraction tools don’t let you manage the entire scenario: when you don’t have that whole scenario in one place, you have to keep jumping back and forth, waiting for one part to be done, before launching the next one… For a small company, that might be OK, but we needed something that really scaled. And that’s Captain Data.”
