What is the best cold calling tool for LinkedIn prospecting?
For reps who find prospects on LinkedIn and then phone them, PitchWhip: one Chrome extension finds the direct dial, writes the opener and dials. Contact-data tools like Lusha and Kaspr find the number, but you still need a phone system and a script.
The options, side by side.
PitchWhip
Best for: Reps who find, call and follow up from LinkedIn
$49 a seat a month, no seat minimum, free to start. 50 reveals a seat a month, 0 when nothing is found, and a checked dead number gets its reveal back. Built-in dialler and follow-up.
Kaspr
Best for: Separate phone and email allowances, and automated LinkedIn outreach
Kaspr Starter is $65 a month with 100 phone credits, and calls go through Aircall or Ringover. PitchWhip is $49 a seat, with its own dialler in the panel.
Lusha
Best for: A large contact allowance on a low entry plan
Lusha Starter is $49.90 a month for 400 credits, with 5 a phone, and no dialler. PitchWhip is $49 a seat, with the brief and the call in the same panel as the number.
Sales Navigator
Best for: Searching LinkedIn itself; works alongside PitchWhip
Sales Navigator finds people on LinkedIn. PitchWhip works beside it to get the number and make the call.

What PitchWhip does.
- It works on the LinkedIn profile you already have open, and alongside Sales Navigator.
- It finds the direct dial or work email across 20+ providers, and nothing found costs 0 reveals.
- It writes a brief, fit assessment, reasons to call, an opener and likely objections for that person.
- It dials from the extension, with a UK or US number for each seat once the account has calling minutes.
- It queues the LinkedIn message with the words written, and you press Send. It never sends on LinkedIn for you.
When it is not the right tool.
If you want LinkedIn invitations and messages sent automatically, PitchWhip is not that tool: you always press Send yourself.
