Considered Both Products
Apollo.io
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo is much easier to use than LinkedIn and the ability to contact customers in one tool is very efficient
Chose Apollo.io
If you're a call-heavy organization, ZoomInfo is way better for you, in my opinion. If you're somebody that's just looking for emails and the right person to reach out to, then Apollo.io works well. It's going to depend on your industry, so I use a mix of both. I feel like the …
Chose Apollo.io
We found the contact data from Apollo.io was more reliable than Instantly.ai. We used Instantly.ai for about 6 months before stopping our use of it. Growbots doesn't give you as much volume for the same price at Apollo.io. However, we did close sales with Growbots, and we did …
Chose Apollo.io
Way more accurate than both of the other programs.
Chose Apollo.io
Better package options and filters
Chose Apollo.io
Compared to ZoomInfo, Apollo.io offers comparable data coverage at a fraction of the cost with a more intuitive interface. Against Common Room, Apollo.io is more outbound-execution focused while Common Room excels at signal aggregation. Warmly serves a different real-time …
Chose Apollo.io
My company chose Apollo.io but I do prefer it because of the UI and customer service.
Chose Apollo.io
We liked Apollo.io's interface and easy to understand pricing structure more than the rest. We also felt that Apollo.io's value was higher as it included a lot of other features that we currently aren't taking advantage of for the same if not lower price than its competitors. I …
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io was recommended to me as it was a preferred source for lead generation.
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io's ability to push contacts directly through our CRM makes outreach a breeze. The pricing has been our biggest decision factor, I've found it to be the cheapest with the same if not more features. I've used their competitors in the past and I always opt to use …
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io’s lists are higher quality and deliver ability is better.
Chose Apollo.io
We have integrated Hubspot with Apollo.io. Apollo.io is great but the CRM tools of Hubspot are better for our use.
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io is great for getting the exact contact info that these AI tools will not provide. They won't provide names or contact information.
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo has everything with in it and does not require any extra integration and extra tools to be purchased to manage emails, pipelines and does not need to depend on excell sheets for managing everything. It increase productivity and also help me getting right party contact …
Chose Apollo.io
I think Apollo.io has better data than some of the leads we've found through LinkedIn
Chose Apollo.io
I started with Apollo.io, and it was initially overwhelming, but I got the hang of it.
Chose Apollo.io
Cannot provide at this time a full scope, but generating leads is the best so far.
Chose Apollo.io
We've evaluated ZoomInfo, Outreach, Salesloft, and HubSpot Sales Hub as Apollo.io alternatives. Apollo.io won out with its unified interface for lead gen, AI messaging, and analytics—reducing tool switches, costs by 30%, and ramping up outreach speed. No other matched its …
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io is usually better than saleshandy and Lusha because it does many sales tasks in one platform. Lusha is mainly used to find contact details like emails and phone numbers, and saleshandy is mostly used for sending cold email campaigns. Apollo.io, however, combines both …
Chose Apollo.io
I used Growbots for year many years ago, it landed me exactly one client. Apollo.io is much easier to use and has gotten me way more results.
Dialpad Sell
Chose Dialpad Sell
To be honest, this was already integrated in the organization when I joined here and I do not find the need to change anything. Dialpad Sell is so simple and easy to navigate and loaded with so many features and options that you would not need to switch to any other alternative.
Chose Dialpad Sell
The mobile app was the reason we started looking away from RingCentral. The biggest issue I personally had with RingCentral was that inbound calls could really throw people off. If you were working in SFDC and you hadn't saved, an inbound call would erase all that work you had …
Chose Dialpad Sell
I like Dialpad so much more than PB simply for its analytics and follow up notes. I also love how you can text clients through DP which in PB, you cannot do. The AI technology and communications with the user is something that is so beneficial to it's users and therefore, I …
Chose Dialpad Sell
Microsoft is not as fast or efficient as Dialpad Sell is also the history on Microsoft isn't saved the same way. I think its harder for the normal person to find how to navigate Microsoft than it is Dialpad Sell! we have both options here at the call center that i work at and …
Chose Dialpad Sell
Dialpad Sell offers an amazing array of features for the price. Some of the products I evaluated were up to 10x the price of Dialpad Sell and lacked the voice intelligence features
Chose Dialpad Sell
I chose Dialpad over RingCentral because the pricing was much better and the analytics go way more in depth. Implementation was a lot more robust and I feel Dialpad had way better customer service.
Chose Dialpad Sell
I think that Skype for Business was a clunky system to use and didn't seem as up-to-date with their interface as Dialpad Sell does. I have found that Slack does a better job at communicating within the company, but Dialpad Sell is still the best system for external outreach.
Chose Dialpad Sell
Google voice is more affordable but has fewer options for customization. We needed Dialpad Sell to be able to route calls appropriately and the price was better for our needs. Google Voice is great for a one-line, one-number account to have a business line on your same personal …
Chose Dialpad Sell
It is more appropriate to use and is better suited to my job than any other product. It has all the features of a caller app with other amazing integrations. I am a huge fan of how it summarises the conversation and I can always go back to a call and listen to something I want …
Chose Dialpad Sell
Dialpad [Sell] has more offerings comparatively.

Ideally, you can organize your list of potential clients based on various criteria, such as business unit, economic sector, location (by country or city), company size, etc. I have tested this with companies in my country and confirmed that the results are genuine, provided the contacts are verified. El mejor escenario es que puedes organizar la lista de clientes potenciales basado en muchos ítems como: unidad de negocio, sector económico, ubicación (por país o ciudad), tamaños de las empresas, etc. Lo he probado con empresas de mi país y he certificado que los resultados son reales si son contactos verificados.

Well, There are numerous scenarios where a Dialpad can be very helpful in terms of communication tools. It allows the user to send text unlimited messages, making outbound calls, and review daily, weekly, monthly, or custom analytics. Saving n number of contact details, easy to search them on Dialpad. As of now, I did not come across any scenario where I can say Dialpad would not be suited.

Pros
  • Firstly, finding the details of the potential customers that is there name, designation email and phone number since these are the most important cases most of the times I can get this data in Apollo.io
  • I can pull the bulk data of the targeted organization, or I can pull the emails based on the location and job titles
  • Apart from the email capture, the thing which helpful is that the email sequence can find emails and send emails in Apollo.io itself and also the report and the dashboard are so clean
  • Friendly UI and UX Apollo.io was the first tool which I used. Since then I'm still using Apollo.io for easy understanding

  • Speed of the messages that are sent are excellent!
  • The voicemail drop section so i dont have to resay the reason for the call to multiple clients with the same issue
  • The saving of information so i dont have to retype everything over again

Cons
  • Apollo.io's sync to Salesforce is incredibly finnicky and created a large number of duplicates.
  • Apollo.io's workflow functionality is rigid and doesn't play nicely with middleware like Zapier.
  • Apollo.io is focused on helping you spin up many different emails and phone numbers in a spammy manner instead of focusing on domain reputation.

  • The biggest thing for me is being able to link calls to specific objects in SalesForce. In the app, you can link a contact to an object, but I often call the same contact several times, so I have to create a report in Salesforce and manually link the call everytime that way.

Usability
There is a learning curve with Apollo.io, but it's not overwhelming. There's simply a lot of functionality, so it takes a bit to learn the navigation and feature set. I wouldn't let that scare you, though, as there's an AI chat to help you find what you're looking for.

Dialpad Sell is Very easy to use, whether at home or in the office dial pad has very sleek and easy to use features, all features are easy to find and are pretty self explanatory, the switch from regular phones to dial pad was a very easy and non stressful switch for our whole team

The team wants to solve probelms, but we are finding that they don't know how to solve the more technical issues quickly. I suspect that they don't have a mature process for escalations, and they don't have a usable knowledge base article repository. They seems to push emails around to let us know that people are working on the issues to find solutions, but this takes weeks and oftentimes still leaves us without a resolution.

If you're a call-heavy organization, ZoomInfo is way better for you, in my opinion. If you're somebody that's just looking for emails and the right person to reach out to, then Apollo.io works well. It's going to depend on your industry, so I use a mix of both. I feel like the Apollo.io extension works a lot better than ZoomInfo because ZoomInfo always gives you a lot of errors, and sometimes it doesn't work or load. For the most part, Apollo.io does, and I never have an issue with the extension as well.
