The free tier is a genuine test drive and €59 a month is a tenth of the parent's entry cost, but the credit caps are the real price. ## The take - **Great for:** Marketers and sellers prospecting **European SMB and mid-market** from LinkedIn who want Cognism-adjacent data without the $15K platform fee. The free tier is a real evaluation, not a teaser. - **The catch:** **Credit caps are the real price.** Starter caps phone at 100/month and exports at 12K/year, and there is no visible Trustpilot or billing-complaint trail to audit. US person-level data is thin. - **Bottom line:** Reach for it when **European contact data on a self-serve budget** is the job and the free tier answers your fit question. Skip it if you need volume exports, US-depth data, or a platform with a public complaint trail. ## Specs - **Starting price:** €59/user/mo (Starter, monthly); €99 (Business). No annual toggle on the page today - **Free tier:** Yes (15 B2B email + 5 phone + 5 direct email/mo, no card) - **Pricing model:** Per user per month, credit-capped by tier (phone, direct email, exports) - **Best for:** EMEA-focused sellers and recruiters prospecting from LinkedIn - **Key integrations:** LinkedIn, Salesforce (Enterprise), HubSpot, Pipedrive, API (Starter limited, Business full) - **Watch out for:** Phone and export credit caps; add-on credits for overage get expensive fast ## What you're actually getting Kaspr is a **LinkedIn and Chrome-extension contact-data tool** built for European prospecting. The vendor claims **over 200 million profiles**, with GDPR-aligned positioning across EMEA. Cognism acquired it in 2022 and operates it as the self-serve arm, so the data lineage is the same parent that powers enterprise EMEA outbound. The product runs four tiers: **Free, Starter, Business, and Enterprise**. The free tier gives 15 B2B emails, 5 phone numbers, and 5 direct emails a month with no card, which is a genuine test drive for a single rep. Starter at €59 unlocks unlimited B2B email but caps phone at 100/month and direct email at 5/month. The core workflow is **LinkedIn prospecting with one-click contact reveal**. A rep finds a profile on LinkedIn, the Chrome extension surfaces the email and phone, and the contact drops into the CRM. It is a point tool for contact acquisition, not a sequencing or dialing platform. ## Where it earns its keep It earns its keep on **European contact data at a self-serve price point**. €59 a month per user is roughly a tenth of Cognism's $15K platform fee, and the free tier lets a rep evaluate the data quality before committing. For a small team prospecting into EMEA SMB and mid-market from LinkedIn, that is the fit. The **Chrome extension is the delivery mechanism**. SDRs pull verified contact data from LinkedIn profiles with one click, and the free tier is generous enough to answer the real question: does the data work for your ICP before you pay. The **GDPR-aligned positioning** is a genuine differentiator for European prospecting. For teams selling into regulated European markets, the compliance posture is built in, not bolted on. ## Where it'll bite you **The credit caps are the real price.** Starter caps phone at 100/month and direct email at 5/month, with a 12,000/year export ceiling. The phone-credit math works out to roughly **€0.49 per direct dial on Starter at full burn**, which is the number to model before buying. Multiple independent blogs converge on the same framing: the credit caps, not the sticker, are what limit a team. **There is no visible Trustpilot trail.** kaspr.io on Trustpilot redirects to an unrelated company page. For a category where RocketReach and Cognism both have ugly Trustpilot profiles driven by billing complaints, Kaspr's absence means that complaint channel is invisible, not absent. **Reddit and YouTube coverage is thin.** Two April 2026 r/sales threads mention Kaspr in passing, and the top-ranked June 2026 YouTube review is already a dead link. The G2 footprint is solid at 4.4/5 from 837 reviews, but TrustRadius sits at 9.0/10 from only 2 reviews, which is too thin to rely on. ## What it costs, really Verified on kaspr.io/pricing 2026-09-15: **Free €0**, **Starter €59/user/mo**, **Business €99/user/mo**, **Enterprise custom**. Pricing is monthly per user and subscriptions auto-renew monthly. There is no annual toggle on the page today. A September 2026 third-party guide documented €45 and €79 annual figures, but they are not on the live page now, so treat them as unconfirmed. The vendor badge on the homepage still reads "4.4/5 based on over 750 G2 reviews" while the live G2 count is 837, so the badge lags. Free gives 15 B2B email + 5 phone + 5 direct email per month, 100 lifetime exports, no rollover, no shared credits. Starter adds unlimited B2B email, 100 phone + 5 direct email per month (1,200 phone + 60 direct per year), 12,000 exports/year, Sales Navigator access, shared credits, and limited API. Business doubles phone to 200/month and direct email to 200/month, raises exports to 30,000/year, and adds Recruiter Lite, full API, and custom permissions. The **credit caps are the real price**, not the sticker. On Starter, the phone-credit math works out to roughly **€0.49 per direct dial at full burn** (Cleanlist), so model your dial volume against the cap before buying. Overage bills as add-on credits, which is what bends the total once you pass a tier cap. ## Reach for it / skip it - **Reach for it if:** EMEA-focused sellers, recruiters, and founders prospecting European SMB and mid-market from LinkedIn who want Cognism-adjacent contact data on a self-serve budget and can model the credit caps before committing. - **Skip it if:** You need volume exports, person-level US data depth, or a public billing-complaint trail to audit. Cognism for the enterprise platform, Lusha for broader geography, or Apollo for an all-in-one outbound stack fit better. ## What real users said - "It is a real evaluation tier, not a working plan." -- Cleanlist, Cleanlist - "Effective cost per direct dial on Starter is about $0.49 at full credit use." -- Cleanlist, Cleanlist - "Instant access to accurate European contact data, over 200m+ profiles." -- Kaspr (vendor homepage), Kaspr - "G2 rates Kaspr 4.4/5 across 837 reviews, the one substantive review signal for the tool." -- G2 (aggregate), G2 --- Full review: https://10xgtm.ai/tool/kaspr - 17 cited sources.
