Improver.io

Improver.io positions itself as a straightforward Chrome extension that extracts personal email addresses and phone numbers directly from LinkedIn profiles. Unlike many tools that guess corporate email formats, Improver focuses on delivering double-verified personal contacts, making it especially useful for recruiters and sales professionals who need to reach candidates or decision-makers outside of standard corporate channels. The tool's core value proposition is accuracy and simplicity: install the extension, open a LinkedIn profile, and click to reveal contact data.

The extension's key capabilities include real-time profile scraping, bulk enrichment for updating outdated records, and API access for CRM integration. Improver also offers an ATS/CRM refreshment feature that can update current positions, company details, and even CV data. This makes it more than a simple email finder -- it can serve as a data hygiene tool for teams managing large candidate or lead databases. The Chrome extension has over 6,000 users and maintains a strong presence in the recruiting community, with endorsements from industry sourcers and talent acquisition leaders.

Pricing is credit-based and designed to scale with usage. The free plan gives 3 credits per month, enough for light testing. Paid plans start at $15/month (billed annually) for 50 credits, $30/month for 150 credits, and $80/month for 500 credits. Compared to competitors like Lusha or Apollo, Improver's per-credit cost is lower, especially at the higher tiers. The annual billing requirement is a minor commitment, but the overall value is strong for users who need a steady stream of verified personal emails without paying for unused features.

Improver is best suited for recruiters and talent acquisition teams who prioritize personal email accuracy over volume. Sales professionals targeting individual decision-makers will also find it effective, particularly when InMail response rates are low. The tool's simplicity means there is almost no learning curve, and the Chrome extension integrates easily into existing LinkedIn workflows. However, users who need corporate email finding, company-level data enrichment, or multi-channel outreach features will need to pair Improver with other tools.

The main drawbacks are occasional reliability issues and slower customer support response times. Some users have reported the extension stopping work or redirecting to unintended pages, which can disrupt workflow. While the data accuracy is generally praised, the tool's reliance on personal email sources means coverage can vary by industry and geography. For most recruiters and sales reps, though, Improver delivers a solid return on investment at a lower price point than many alternatives.

Overall, Improver.io is a focused, no-frills contact finding tool that excels at its core job. it's not a full sales engagement platform, but it fills a specific need for verified personal contact data from LinkedIn. For teams that already have a CRM or outreach system in place, adding Improver as a data source is a cost-effective way to improve contact quality and response rates.
