What the reviews say
Strong at speed and delivering fast, accurate results, but it fails on LinkedIn access/authentication (account bans and 403s), has unresponsive support, unexpected subscription billing, and restrictive usage limits.
| Theme | Sentiment | Said | What they mean |
|---|---|---|---|
| Does it run | 1 praised · 3 complained | 4 | fast, accurate and reliable resultsLinkedIn access causing account bans“Doesn't work. Constant failure on API for profile data with 403. Developer gives copy/paste error message of "thanks, I'll get back" when in reality nothing changes and no communication for weeks. Same response on dozens of issues. I'll update review if anything changes.” — 1/5 |
| Does the publisher answer | 0 praised · 2 complained | 2 | unresponsive developer/support, no communication“Never used it. "Trial" kicked right into a subscription. Then never used it as well. Asked for a refund. Developer never responded. Fool me once, shame on me. Will never be fooled by this developer again. Stay away.” — 1/5 |
| Setup and docs | 1 praised · 1 complained | 2 | super easy to set uprequired extra time to run“I spent way too much time trying to get Phantom Scraper and DataBlist to do something really basic: extract location info from a list of LinkedIn profile URLs. Manually copying the data was an option, but obviously not ideal. I came across LinkedIn Profile Scraper on Apify and, honestly, I was skeptical—mainly because of the mixed reviews. But I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. ➔ Super easy to set up, even for non-developers ➔ Fast, accurate, and reliable results ➔ The Apify platform itself was intuitive and smooth ➔ Completed everything I needed within the free tier This tool saved me hours of work and frustration. The experience was way better than expected, and it just worked out of the box. When we scale our scraping needs, I’ll happily pay for the upgraded version. Highly recommended for anyone needing simple, effective LinkedIn scraping without the hassle.” — 5/5 |
