Scraping and growth automations
What is PhantomBuster?
PhantomBuster is a cloud automation platform with hundreds of ready-made “Phantoms” that extract data or perform actions on LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Instagram, X and other sites, which you can chain into workflows.
Growth hackers and ops teams use it to build lead lists, enrich data and automate repetitive web tasks.

Conversations, not just data
ReachPods extracts leads and then runs the whole sequence: visit, invite, message, email, WhatsApp, with replies stopping it.
One inbox for the replies
Every reply from every channel lands in the unified inbox, so outreach doesn’t end at a spreadsheet.
Safety designed for outreach
Per-account quotas, warm-up and pauses keep LinkedIn and Instagram accounts healthy while campaigns run for weeks.

Something else on your mind? Get started and try it on your own accounts.
Can I move my leads from PhantomBuster to ReachPods?

Can I run ReachPods and PhantomBuster side by side?
Yes. Many teams start one campaign in ReachPods on a fresh segment while existing PhantomBuster sequences finish, then switch fully. Add your current customers and active prospects to the ReachPods blacklist so nobody is contacted twice.
