Volleyora vs PhantomBuster
The short version
PhantomBuster is a general automation toolkit, not a LinkedIn outreach product. You assemble Phantoms and chain them into Workflows across many sites. Volleyora does one job. If you want a scraping and automation platform, they are not really competing for the same purchase.

Questions people actually ask
Does PhantomBuster send cold email?
No. Their pricing page offers no email campaigns or sequences, and their email credits are described as enrichment, used when a Phantom finds an address on a profile.
Is PhantomBuster cheaper?
Its entry plan is $69 a month, or $56 billed annually, against Volleyora at $49 flat. But it is priced by automation slots and execution hours rather than by outreach, so the two are hard to compare directly.
Which is safer for my LinkedIn account?
Neither is safe in an absolute sense, and LinkedIn prohibits automation in its User Agreement. PhantomBuster runs from its cloud; Volleyora runs from your browser at a randomized 25 to 45 second pace with fixed daily caps.
One plan, $49 a month.
Everything included, one LinkedIn account, running in the browser you already use. LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits automation; pacing and daily caps reduce that risk rather than removing it.
