The comparison table
Ten tools, one row each, Lix first because it is what you searched for. The fourth column matters more than most comparison pages let on: a tool that includes three seats at EUR 39 is a different purchase from one that charges per user.
| Tool | Permanent free tier | Entry paid price | Users on the entry paid tier | Credit lifetime | Price readable on the pricing page | CSV export |

| Leadsforlinked | Yes, 100 leads, no card | Free, then EUR 4.99/mo | Priced by leads | Packs never expire | Yes, published | Yes |
| Wiza | Yes, 20 emails and 5 phones | $49/mo | Per user | Not published | Yes, full ladder | Yes, 2,500/mo cap on annual |

Every competitor figure read from that vendor's own pricing page, plan catalogue, plan API or help centre on 5 September 2026. Where a vendor states two different figures for the same thing, both appear. Pricing here changes without announcement, so check the vendor page in a browser before you buy and tell us if something has moved.
Where these prices came from
Lix's pricing page does not display prices. What it does contain, in its own HTML, is a plan catalogue: a structured list of every plan Lix sells, with its price, currency and active status. That catalogue is where every Lix figure on this page comes from, read on 5 September 2026. It is a vendor primary source, and it is more reliable than a rendered page in one respect and less in another. More, because it is the raw record. Less, because it is not what a buyer sees.
Monthly, active plans, all three currencies:
| Tier | EUR | GBP | USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter, free | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Leads 300 / 500 / 1000 | 39 / 54 / 99 | 33 / 49 / 89 | 39 / 54 / 99 |
| Leads 2500 / 5000 / 10000 | 189 / 339 / 499 | 159 / 289 / 419 | 189 / 339 / 499 |
| Data Plus 500 / 1000 / 2500 | 109 / 139 / 229 | 89 / 119 / 189 | 109 / 139 / 229 |
| Data Plus 5000 / 10000 | 389 / 549 | 319 / 459 | 389 / 549 |
Three things fall out of that table that nobody else seems to have written down.
The EUR and USD numerals are identical on every tier. Leads 300 is 39 in euros and 39 in dollars. GBP is separately and consistently lower. Currency is selected by a URL parameter, so the page you land on decides what you pay in real terms. If you have a choice of billing currency, that is worth thirty seconds of arithmetic at the current rate.
The catalogue holds 110 plan objects, of which 71 are active. Retired prices sit beside live ones, for example a "Leads x 500" at EUR 50 marked inactive against the EUR 54 that is live. No repricing is dated by the vendor anywhere, so we can say prices have moved and we cannot say when. That is exactly the sort of thing a comparison page normally papers over with a confident year.
Overage is priced above every plan tier. Going over costs EUR 0.15 per email, which is EUR 150 per 1,000. Even the entry Leads 300 tier works out at EUR 130 per 1,000. So on Lix, running over your allowance is never cheaper than moving up, at any point on the ladder. Separately, API packs are sold at EUR 49 for 500 credits and EUR 49 for 2,500 organisation credits.
The annual discount, with the arithmetic
Lix's pricing page carries an annual billing tab, and that tab carries a badge reading "Save 16%". Its own plan catalogue does not agree with the badge. Here is the working, from the catalogue's own figures, read 5 September 2026.
| Plan | 12 months at the monthly rate | Lix annual plan | Actual saving | Badge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leads 300, 3,600 credits a year | EUR 39 x 12 = EUR 468 | Leads x 3600 at EUR 372 | 20.5% | 16% |
| Data Plus 500, 6,000 credits a year | EUR 109 x 12 = EUR 1,308 | Data Plus x 6000 at EUR 1,044 | 20.2% | 16% |
Both worked examples land at roughly 20 percent, against a badge advertising 16. We are recording both and resolving neither, because Lix has not explained the gap and we are not going to invent an explanation for it.
What we will say is that this discrepancy runs the right way. Compare it with the one we found on Skrapp's pricing page the same day, where two independent reads returned $29 and $39 for the same tier and the words "billed annually" sat against the higher figure, which read literally would make an annual commitment dearer than paying monthly. Lix's gap costs the buyer nothing. It just means Lix is advertising a worse deal than it is actually offering, which is an unusual direction for a pricing page to err in.
The practical instruction is the same in both cases: open the pricing page in a browser, switch the billing toggle, and screenshot the number you are being charged before you enter a card. On a Leads 300 annual plan the difference between 16 and 20.5 percent is about EUR 21 a year, which is small. On Data Plus 10000 it is not.
Cost per 1,000 emails across the Lix ladder
Divide the monthly price by the included email credits, multiply by 1,000. Nobody publishes this for Lix, and it changes how the ladder reads.
| Plan | Price | Email credits | Per 1,000 emails |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leads 300 | EUR 39 | 300 | EUR 130.00 |
| Leads 1000 | EUR 99 | 1,000 | EUR 99.00 |
| Leads 2500 | EUR 189 | 2,500 | EUR 75.60 |
| Leads 10000 | EUR 499 | 10,000 | EUR 49.90 |
| Data Plus 500 | EUR 109 | 500 | EUR 218.00 |
| Data Plus 10000 | EUR 549 | 10,000 | EUR 54.90 |
| Overage rate | EUR 0.15 each | n/a | EUR 150.00 |
| Leadsforlinked pack | EUR 1.99 | 500 profile records | EUR 3.98, different unit |
The entry Leads tier costs 2.6 times as much per email as the top one. EUR 130.00 against EUR 49.90. That is a normal shape for a volume ladder, but it is steep enough that anyone buying Leads 300 should check whether their real annual need would be better served two rungs up.
One caveat that stops this table being misused, and it is important. Comparing the Leads and Data Plus families on cost per email is misleading. They are priced by email credits but they include different export volume. A Leads plan comes with 3,000 profiles of search data and 500 enriched profiles. A Data Plus plan comes with unlimited search data and unlimited enriched profiles. The Data Plus premium is buying export capacity, not better email addresses. If your bottleneck is how many rows you can pull rather than how many addresses you can reveal, Data Plus at EUR 218 per 1,000 emails may be the cheaper plan in practice.
And the last row is a different unit again. A Leadsforlinked lead is a LinkedIn profile record in a spreadsheet, not a verified work email. Those are different purchases and we are not going to pretend otherwise for the sake of a favourable-looking row.
Who should stay on Lix
Here is the honest concession, and Lix earns three of them.
Three users on every plan, including the free one. Every plan object in the catalogue carries "Includes 3 users". Nothing else in this table does that at the entry tier: Skrapp includes 2 on Professional, Scrupp allows up to 3 team members on Starter, and Apollo, Surfe and Wiza charge per user. For a three person team, that alone can be the whole decision.
The widest browser support in the category. Lix lists Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and Brave. Most extensions in this space, ours included, are built for Chrome first. If you work in Safari or Firefox by preference or by IT policy, the shortlist is very short and Lix is on it.
Credits that survive the month. Lix credits roll over and expire twelve months after they were credited. Apollo, Surfe, Prospeo and Lobstr all take back unspent credits at the end of the cycle. Twelve months of runway on a balance is a real advantage for uneven workloads.
Add to those: Sales Navigator is not required, Lix supports LinkedIn Standard, Premium and Sales Navigator alike, and exports go to Excel, CSV or Lix List. If you already use it and the price fits, this page holds no argument for switching.
Reasons to look elsewhere are narrower. The absence of visible prices makes it hard to budget without signing up. The undated repricing history in the catalogue means you cannot tell how stable your rate is. And Lix publishes a "98 percent accurate" email claim with no methodology, which we are not repeating as fact any more than we would repeat a rival's.
Who is better served by a simpler extractor
Disclosure again, because this is the section where it matters: we build Leadsforlinked. Of the ten tools on this page, Lix is the one closest to us in shape, so this is a real comparison rather than a category swap.
The difference is what you are buying. Lix bundles extraction and email finding and prices the bundle by email credits. We sell extraction on its own, priced by lead. If you want emails, Lix is a one-stop purchase and we are not. If what you actually need is the list of people in a spreadsheet, you should not be paying an email-credit price for it.
- 100 free leads on signup, no card, released in batches of 20 rather than all at once.
- 1 credit equals 1 lead, and duplicates are refunded.
- Packs from EUR 1.99 for 500 leads, and packs never expire. No twelve month clock, no forfeit at renewal.
- Subscriptions: Basic EUR 4.99 per month, or EUR 2.99 per month billed yearly. Starter EUR 29 adds outreach campaigns. Diamond Pro EUR 79 adds the AI Responder. Diamond Plus EUR 149.
- Sales Navigator is optional, as it is with Lix.
- GDPR, EU infrastructure, built in France.
We are not going to tell you this is safe or sanctioned, because nobody here can honestly say that. What we will say is that our prices sit on our pricing page in plain text, which after a day reading this category turns out to be less common than it should be. And the free tier is big enough to judge the output on: take the 100 leads, open the CSV, count the rows you would genuinely contact.
The rest of the table, briefly
Wiza is the strongest option if your source is Sales Navigator or Recruiter lists, and it is unusually candid: its own help pages state that "unlimited" annual plans allow 500 profiles enriched in 24 hours, roughly 50 in any 5 minute span, and a hard cap of 2,500 bulk export credits a month. Vendors rarely publish caps like that.
Scrupp is the nearest price-competitor to the Lix entry tier at $29 a month for 1,000 credits, with a free plan at 100 credits a month and one-time packs that never expire. Two things to know: Sales Navigator scraping requires an active Sales Navigator seat, per Scrupp's own homepage, and Scrupp's site contradicts itself on whether scraping runs in the cloud or inside your own browser session. Both statements are on its own pages.
Lobstr.io is a general scraping platform rather than a LinkedIn tool, at $20 a month for 10,000 credits where a credit is one unique result. Its free plan caps exports at 30 rows per request, and results are retained 7 days on free and 28 on paid. Credits do not roll over: "your credits refresh every month based on the plan you're on, so you always start fresh".
Skrapp, Apollo, Surfe, Findymail and Prospeo are all data providers rather than extractors, so they answer a different question. In short: Skrapp is the cheapest per email and sells no phones; Apollo charges the same single credit for a phone as for an email; Surfe forfeits unused credits outright; Findymail rolls over to twice your allowance and publishes a bounce guarantee; Prospeo has the clearest credit schedule in the category and publishes no prices at all.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Lix cost?
Lix renders no prices on its pricing page. The figures on this page come from the plan catalogue embedded in that page's own HTML, read on 5 September 2026. On monthly billing the Leads family runs at EUR 39, 54 and 99 for 300, 500 and 1,000 email credits, then EUR 189, 339 and 499 for 2,500, 5,000 and 10,000. The Data Plus family runs at EUR 109, 139 and 229 for 500, 1,000 and 2,500, then EUR 389 and 549 for 5,000 and 10,000. Every plan includes 3 users. Currency is set by a URL parameter, and the EUR and USD numerals are identical while GBP is lower.
Does Lix really save 16 percent on annual billing?
Its annual tab badge says Save 16 percent, and its own catalogue figures imply about 20 percent. Twelve months of Leads 300 at EUR 39 is EUR 468 for 3,600 credits. Lix sells an annual Leads x 3600 plan at EUR 372, which is 20.5 percent less. Twelve months of Data Plus 500 at EUR 109 is EUR 1,308 for 6,000 credits, against an annual Data Plus x 6000 at EUR 1,044, which is 20.2 percent less. Both read 5 September 2026. Unlike most pricing discrepancies in this category, this one understates the discount rather than overstating it, so it works in the buyer's favour. We are recording both figures, not resolving them.
Do Lix credits expire?
They roll over and then they expire. Lix's FAQ states that the credits rollover from month-to-month and they will expire 12 months after they were credited to your account, and the pricing page words it as expiring one year from the date they were deposited into your account. That is more generous than Apollo, Surfe and Prospeo, which forfeit unused credits at the end of each billing cycle, and less generous than a pack that never expires. Read 5 September 2026.
Does Lix require Sales Navigator?
No. Lix's FAQ states that it supports LinkedIn Standard, Premium and Sales Navigator, so a Sales Navigator seat is one supported surface rather than a prerequisite. That matters because Sales Navigator Core is 119.99 US dollars per month per seat, which some tools in this category quietly require on top of their own price.
What is the difference between Lix Leads and Lix Data Plus?
Both families are priced by the number of included email credits, but they buy different export volume. A Leads plan includes 3,000 profiles of search data and 500 enriched profiles. A Data Plus plan includes unlimited search data and unlimited enriched profiles. So comparing the two families on cost per email is misleading: the Data Plus premium is buying export volume, not better emails. Read from the plan catalogue on 5 September 2026.
