## Agent prompt to replace PhantomBuster

Use looot to collect public profile data for the people I list from social sites, then find a work email for each. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.

Partly. An agent running looot can do some of what PhantomBuster does through catalog endpoints, and the page marks the jobs it cannot do.

## Is there a free PhantomBuster alternative?

looot has no monthly seat. You pay per call to the provider you pick, and the catalog shows each endpoint's price before you run it. Whether that comes out cheaper than PhantomBuster depends on your volume.

## What does PhantomBuster cost?

List prices change, so check PhantomBuster's own pricing page. This page does not repeat them. The looot side is read live from the catalog on the web version of this page.
