apollo alternative

Apollo is priced per seat. We are priced per file.

Apollo publishes its pricing, which is more than most of the category manages: a free tier, then reported plans from $49 per seat per month on annual billing, with tiers reported at $59, $99 and $149 per user per month and annual export credit caps. If the credit cap is what keeps biting, $99 for the whole file changes the shape of the problem.

What you are actually comparing.

Apollo is a database plus a sending engine plus a dialler. We are the database part, sold outright. If you use the sequencer daily, keep it. If you export lists and send them somewhere else, you are paying rent on tooling you do not open.

where they are genuinely better

Apollo’s free tier is the most honest thing in this category, and its sequencer is real value.

For a solo seller doing everything in one tab, Apollo is hard to argue with. The argument only starts when a team needs volume: that is when credits become the tax and per-seat billing becomes the multiplier.

You sequence and dial inside the same tool you prospect in

Your volume genuinely fits inside the plan credits

You want one subscription rather than a stack

You are one person and the free tier covers you

You need CRM sync and task management, not just data

You hit the export cap before the quarter ends

You send from your own ESP anyway

You are paying for four seats and one person pulls the lists

You need markets where their coverage is thinnest

You want the file, not access to a file

questions

Questions from people comparing Apollo

Do you have a free tier?
We have 100 free rows from any file, with no card and no account. There is no ongoing free plan, because there is no platform to log into.
Different shape rather than simply bigger. Compare our per-country counts against what your Apollo filters actually return for the same market — that comparison is more useful than a headline total.
Yes. CSV and XLSX with a consistent column order; it imports into Apollo, HubSpot, Salesforce, Instantly or a spreadsheet without remapping.
Keep Apollo for sending and buy files for data. That combination is often cheaper than upgrading a plan for export credits.
