Before comparing two tools, you need to name the question that actually separates them. Between Evaboot and outsend, this isn't a debate about features or pricing — it's an upstream decision about where your prospects come from. Do you extract your list from a LinkedIn Sales Navigator search (Evaboot's approach), or do you build it from local, real-world data and public web sources (outsend's approach)? Everything else — emails, costs, sending pipeline — flows from that initial choice.
This comparison starts from that decision, develops both approaches in depth, and concludes with clear use-case guidance and a decision grid at the end.
The real question: where does your prospect list come from?
Evaboot and outsend don't compete over the same starting point. Evaboot assumes your prospects already exist, identified, in LinkedIn's index — the job is then to extract them cleanly. outsend assumes you need to find them in the real world first: on Google Maps, on websites, in public sources that LinkedIn doesn't index.
This divergence isn't a technical detail. It determines which targets you can reach, how many subscriptions you stack up, and where the product stops in your prospecting workflow. Before looking at prices or success rates, this is the source logic you need to settle first.
The Evaboot approach: cleanly extracting what LinkedIn has already indexed
Evaboot has established itself as a pure-play specialist in a precise niche, and it executes that niche seriously. Three genuine strengths support its extraction logic.
First: Sales Navigator extraction quality. Evaboot extracts profiles from a Sales Navigator search with built-in cleaning — deduplication, job title normalization, removal of incomplete profiles. You get a clean, ready-to-use CSV, whereas a raw Sales Navigator export produces noise.
Second: the integrated email finder. For each extracted profile, Evaboot finds the professional email via pattern matching, crawling, and SMTP verification. Success rates are strong on well-filled LinkedIn profiles (identified company, specific job title). No need to stack a Hunter or Dropcontact on top.
Third: simplicity of the value proposition. Evaboot does one thing — extract from Sales Navigator with emails — and does it well. For a growth marketer or SDR doing large-scale LinkedIn outreach, it's the tool that "just works," with no complex configuration.
The flip side of this approach is its entry requirements. Evaboot extracts from Sales Navigator — not standard LinkedIn — so you need a Sales Navigator subscription at ~€80/month. The combined Evaboot + Sales Navigator bill runs to ~€170–180/month, before even adding a campaign tool on top. The source also remains single-channel: if your target doesn't have a strong LinkedIn presence — tradespeople, local businesses, independent practices, associations — the index Evaboot draws from is simply empty for you. One final friction point: once your CSV is exported, you still need to push it to Lemlist, Mailshake, or another tool to send campaigns — yet another subscription, yet another export/import cycle.
The outsend approach: building the list from the ground up
outsend reverses the starting point. Rather than extracting from a pre-built premium index, it assembles the list from multiple public sources: Google Maps scraping + website extraction + built-in email finder + deliverability verification + scheduled sending — all in the same product, and free during the alpha on application.
This approach has two main advantages. First, coverage: it reaches targets that LinkedIn ignores (tradespeople, local businesses, associations, independent practices) — targets built from real-world data rather than a corporate index (see our features on Google Maps scraping and the email finder). Second, integration: the pipeline goes all the way through to sending, without stacking three parallel subscriptions or repeated export/import cycles.
Where this approach falls short needs to be stated clearly: outsend does not (yet, in alpha) offer direct extraction from Sales Navigator in the way Evaboot does. If your workflow relies heavily on LinkedIn / Sales Navigator scraping with advanced LinkedIn filter cleanup, Evaboot remains more specialized and more straightforward. outsend does include a "social networks" module that extracts a company's LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram profiles, but that's contact enrichment — not bulk extraction from a Sales Navigator search.
Comparing the two approaches, criterion by criterion
Once both philosophies are laid out, the table is no longer about picking a winner — it's about seeing where each approach pays off and where it costs you.
| Criterion | Evaboot | outsend |
|---|---|---|
| Primary source | Sales Navigator (LinkedIn premium) | Google Maps + websites + public sources |
| Built-in email finder | Yes | Yes |
| Deliverability verification | Partial | SMTP test + real inbox test, integrated |
| Campaign sending | No (CSV export to a third-party tool required) | On request (integrated into the pipeline) |
| Base price | ~$99/month starter plan | Free alpha (application-based) |
| External dependency | Sales Navigator required (~€80/month) | None |
| Interface / support | English-first | Built-in French support |
| Bulk LinkedIn targeting | Excellent | Limited |
| Tradespeople / local businesses / associations | Limited | Excellent |
Making the call: a decision grid by use case
Go back to the original question — where does your list come from — and the decision practically makes itself.
Choose Evaboot if your list lives in LinkedIn. That's the case if your activity is primarily large-scale LinkedIn outreach targeting B2B SaaS / tech / corporate profiles with a strong LinkedIn presence, and your workflow is: (1) Sales Navigator search, (2) clean export, (3) associated emails. On this segment, Evaboot executes better and more simply than outsend in alpha — this is its territory, and it remains the best at it.
Choose outsend if your list is built outside LinkedIn. This makes sense if: your targets include profiles with little or no LinkedIn presence (micro-businesses, tradespeople, independent practices, associations); you want to avoid the Evaboot + Sales Navigator + sending tool stack (3 parallel subscriptions); you're doing ad-hoc or exploratory prospecting (annual subscription commitments stop making sense); or you prefer a tool with built-in European B2B support.
And if both worlds apply to you, you don't have to choose once and for all: keep Evaboot for your LinkedIn-dependent volume, use outsend for targets outside LinkedIn (tradespeople, local businesses, associations, press lists, unsolicited applications), then reassess at 3 months based on actual volume. For many use cases — freelancers, small businesses, individuals — outsend covers 80–90% of the real need without the €170–180/month stack; for pure SDRs specialized in LinkedIn, Evaboot remains stronger on its segment.

What are Evaboot's real monthly costs?
The Evaboot starter plan is around $99/month (~€91). The required Sales Navigator dependency adds ~€80/month (Core plan). To then send your campaigns, a Lemlist or equivalent runs an additional ~€50–80/month. Full stack total: ~€220–250/month.
Can Evaboot work without Sales Navigator?
Marginally. Evaboot is designed to extract results from Sales Navigator searches. Without a Sales Navigator subscription, the product loses most of its value. That's its main dependency — and its main cost friction point.
Is Evaboot's email finder success rate better?
On well-filled Sales Navigator profiles (identified company + specific job title), Evaboot's rate is excellent (typically 70–85%). On profiles where the company is unclear or the persona is outside LinkedIn (tradespeople, local businesses, associations), Evaboot falls short — outsend has the advantage on these targets via Google Maps + websites.
Are Evaboot and outsend GDPR-compliant?
Yes for both, within the B2B prospecting framework respecting the CNIL guidelines: legitimate interest, clear opt-out from the first message, proportionate use. Evaboot is compliant by design (extraction of public LinkedIn data); outsend is too (public sources: Google Maps + websites).
How do I test outsend without abandoning Evaboot?
Keep Evaboot active for your LinkedIn-dependent volume, and use outsend for targets outside LinkedIn (tradespeople, local businesses, associations, press lists, unsolicited applications). Reassess at 3 months based on actual volume processed on each channel. If 80% of your volume is outside LinkedIn, the combined Evaboot + Sales Navigator subscription becomes hard to justify.
