About PhantomBuster
PhantomBuster is a hosted automation service for sales and marketing teams. It runs prebuilt automations in the cloud to extract data and support lead generation from social platforms and websites, saving manual copy and paste work.
It is a commercial cloud product with no self-hosted version. Because it automates actions on third-party platforms, users should review those platforms' terms and data protection rules. Features, supported platforms and plans change over time, so check the vendor's site for current details.
