Seeking Alternatives to SmartLead.io for LinkedIn Scraping

What's up Clay community. Before I spend money on SmartLead.io to scrape my Linkedin list, I want to make sure there's nothing else better out there for purely scraping navigator. Any advice or suggestions? They also don't market the scraper anywhere really on their website. Is it because Navigator doesn't like these scraping tools?

Muhammad S. last question on phantom buster....: it's not scraping every lead from the navigator search. How do you setup your phantom to make sure it pulls in every single lead from the navigator search?

You have to split your searched in the batches of 2500

lets say you are looking for SDRs from Unites states and UK and there are 3K people in total You have to split your search one for UK and one for US - to ensure each of your search contains max of 2500 contacts

Okay. So the URL I pasted into the phantom only contained around 1,000 leads. This should have scraped all of them, correct? Have you ever had it where it's not scraping all leads per page? It's only scraping 7-10 leads per page right now.
