LinkPort is Klenty's Chrome plugin for working with prospect information. If you are comparing LinkPort alternatives, separate three needs: getting LinkedIn contacts into your workflow, finding missing email or phone details, and following up. Hilead, Hublead and Surfe address different parts of that process. Here is how to choose without treating a free installation as unlimited enrichment.
LinkPort alternatives by workflow
Reviewed September 7, 2026. Hilead publishes this comparison and is included in it. Linked official product pages describe capabilities; the fit recommendations are our assessment. We have not run a comparative accuracy or import-speed benchmark.
| Tool and source | Useful when | Check before switching |
|---|---|---|
| LinkPort / Klenty | You already use Klenty and want to find or enrich prospect information from its plugin. | Enrichment uses credits; phone enrichment requires paid credits. |
| Hilead | You want LinkedIn capture, audiences and email plus LinkedIn campaigns together. | Verify your export needs; it is not presented as a like-for-like native CRM connector. |
| Hublead | Your team works in HubSpot and needs LinkedIn contacts and activity in that CRM. | Check the plan's enrichment allowance and required activity sync. |
| Surfe | You want contact reveals, CRM sync and enriched list exports from a browser workflow. | Confirm your exact CRM, field mapping and plan limits. |

What does LinkPort do, and what costs credits?
Klenty's enrichment documentation explicitly includes its LinkPort Chrome plugin: open a profile, view existing details and use Find Email or Find Phone for missing data. It describes a multi-provider waterfall and says enrichment requires credits, with free credits for email trials and paid credits for phone enrichment. Check the current allowance with Klenty. A free extension installation does not establish unlimited free contact data, and an available enrichment feature does not establish its match rate on your prospects.

Hublead: keep the work inside HubSpot
Hublead focuses on the LinkedIn-to-HubSpot workflow. It lets reps add or link contacts, view and edit CRM records, sync LinkedIn activity and enrich contact information. Consider it first when HubSpot is your system of record and the main problem is manual CRM entry. Test how it handles an existing contact, an updated employer and the activities your manager needs logged. Those checks matter more than the number of fields listed on a landing page.

Surfe: contact research and CRM sync
Surfe's Chrome extension page describes contact reveals, CRM sync, enriched list exports, deal creation and adding contacts to sequences. Its page illustrates Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive workflows. Shortlist it when you want to keep your existing CRM central while reducing browser-to-CRM work. Verify the exact integration and subscription you need rather than assuming every advertised action is included in every plan.

Hilead: capture leads and prepare outreach
The Hilead extension captures selected LinkedIn profiles into a Hilead audience, with optional email and phone enrichment and CSV export. Audiences can feed email and LinkedIn campaigns in the same workspace. This is useful when your next step after capture is prospecting, rather than updating a specific CRM record. If direct native CRM field mapping is essential, validate that requirement separately; Hilead's audience workflow should not be presented as an identical replacement for a CRM importer.

Try a selected-profile import before moving your list
Run a LinkedIn people search, select a small set of relevant prospects and open Hilead's import panel. Review your selection, destination audience and maximum credit cost before importing. Choose CSV export if you need to review the file before loading another system. Keep your test audience separate from active campaigns. The interface illustration below shows where selection and estimated cost appear; use the search import tutorial for the full sequence.

Compare total workflow cost, then decide
For Hilead, STARTER is $49 per month with 50 monthly enrichment credits. Work email starts at one credit, personal email costs three, and phone enrichment costs ten; unsuccessful lookups are refunded. The seven-day trial requires a card. Managed sending domains with warmup are a paid add-on. See current Hilead pricing. For every candidate, test the same 20–30 profiles and record usable contact details, duplicates, correct field mapping, credit use and time to the next action. Keep LinkPort if it already meets your needs; pay for a replacement only when it solves an observed gap.
Frequently asked questions
Is LinkPort enrichment free?
Klenty's documentation says enrichment requires credits. It mentions free email credits and paid phone credits. Confirm your current allowance rather than assuming a free plugin means unlimited reveals.
Which LinkPort alternative fits HubSpot?
Hublead is a focused candidate for LinkedIn-to-HubSpot contact and activity sync. Surfe also publishes a HubSpot workflow. Test the fields, existing-contact handling and activity history your team actually needs.
Can Hilead replace my LinkPort workflow?
Hilead is a candidate if you need LinkedIn capture, optional enrichment, audiences, CSV export and email plus LinkedIn campaigns. If your requirement is a specific native CRM import or field-mapping behavior, verify it before switching.
Want to try it yourself?
Review the extension and import tutorial before moving a list. Installation is free; platform access and enrichment depend on your plan and credits.
