PhantomBuster is built to extract data from LinkedIn and 15+ other platforms. Outvelo is built to run the outreach that comes after: branching sequences across many senders, safe pacing, and every reply in one inbox.
These tools overlap less than they seem. PhantomBuster's strength is building lists; Outvelo's is running LinkedIn conversations. Plenty of teams use both.

| Automated connection requests and messages | Built in Connection requests, messages, InMail and voice notes send automatically from the cloud. | |
| Branching sequences | Built in Branches on accepted, replied, connected and open profile. | Partial Follow-ups wait for acceptance and stop on reply; other logic comes from chaining automations. Source |

Yes, and many teams do. Build the list in PhantomBuster, then push it into an Outvelo campaign by CSV, profile URLs or the API. Outvelo runs the sequence, paces each sender and collects the replies.
No, and you don't need it to. Build the list wherever you already do, in PhantomBuster, Clay, Apollo or Sales Navigator, then bring it in as a CSV, profile URLs or a Sales Navigator search, or push it through the API or MCP. Any extra columns, like the post someone commented on, become variables in your messages.
PhantomBuster charges per workspace by execution hours, automation slots and credits ($69 to $439 a month). Outvelo charges per connected LinkedIn account, $49 a month, or $599 a month for 25, with no credit meter on LinkedIn actions.
