Blog > Catalog > Lead Data > Kaspr
By Nikita Bykadarov, CEO of Maildoso · Updated June 8, 2026
Introduction
Pulling contacts straight from LinkedIn is fast, but it's also where data-compliance risk runs highest. This article is an independent, deliverability-first review of Kaspr, written to help you weigh its convenience against its compliance and billing baggage.
It covers Kaspr's data, the CNIL fine, real pricing, and how it compares to the alternatives. It's most useful for LinkedIn-led reps prospecting into Europe who need to understand the compliance fit.

Written by Nikita Bykadarov. As founder and CEO of Maildoso – a cold email infrastructure platform handling 400,000+ mailboxes and 10M+ daily sends for more than 6,000 companies – Nikita works at the deliverability end of outbound. His team watches what happens after a team buys a list: the bounces, the burned domains, the messages that actually arrive. He brings that perspective to every lead data review.

How we review tools
Each review uses a consistent method. We evaluate the product's published features and pricing, weigh them against hands-on knowledge of outbound, and sanity-check that against pooled ratings from G2 and Trustpilot.
A score is always relative to the buyer the tool targets, so we grade fit first. Weaknesses get the same airtime as strengths, we update when things change, and no payment ever moves a rating.

Ratings
Trustpilot: 1.5/5 (86 reviews)
G2: 4.4/5 (833 reviews)
The G2 score reflects how much reps like the speed of pulling contacts off LinkedIn. The low Trustpilot score mixes billing complaints (surprise auto-renewals, refused refunds) with anger from people who were cold-contacted using Kaspr's data. Both point to the same theme: the convenience comes with friction.

Kaspr in depth
Kaspr's strength is speed on LinkedIn. Its browser extension reveals phone numbers and emails as you browse profiles, and its European data is a genuine draw for teams prospecting into the EU. Reps rate it well on G2 for how quickly it turns a LinkedIn search into usable contact details.
Two things should give buyers pause. The first is compliance: France's CNIL fined Kaspr €240,000 after finding it had no valid legal basis for collecting some contact data, which is a serious flag for regulated industries. The second is billing – auto-renewal is on by default, cancellation requires advance notice, and refund refusals appear repeatedly in reviews. The data is useful, but go in clear-eyed on both fronts.

A note on deliverability
Kaspr gets you the contact; whether your email arrives is a separate question. Even an accurate address lands in spam when it leaves a cold, badly configured mailbox. Maildoso provides the dedicated domains and warmed inboxes that get your outreach in front of people.
Most cold emails fail simply because they land in spam. People never even see your offer. Our SMTP and Google Workspace mailboxes are built specifically for outbound; this means your emails will finally be seen, and you’ll start getting more positive replies.
Boost your outbound with our infrastructure!
FAQ
- Q:Is Kaspr worth it?A:For fast LinkedIn-based prospecting into Europe, it can be. For regulated industries, the CNIL fine and compliance questions make it a riskier choice.
- Q:How much does Kaspr cost?A:There's a free plan, with paid tiers from about €45/month (Starter) and €79/month (Business). It's credit-based, so match the plan to your reveal volume.
- Q:Is Kaspr GDPR-compliant?A:It markets itself as compliant, but France's CNIL issued a €240,000 fine over its data collection. Confirm the specifics for your use case, especially in regulated sectors.
- Q:Why is Kaspr's Trustpilot score so low?A:The reviews mix billing complaints with objections from people contacted using its data, rather than rating the product's core function. G2's 4.4 reflects actual users.
- Q:Do I need to verify data before sending?A:Yes. Every database decays, and bounces hurt your reputation. Run any list through an email verification tool before the first send.
