Apollo.io vs. Dropcontact

I've had an overall great experience with Apollo.io. It allows me to reach out to my ideal customer profile at scale while being able to customise my messaging and workflow. It's also extremely easy to keep track of which leads are warm, not interested and ones to nurture. I also find it extremely useful for lead sourcing - There's a lot of filters I can use to make my list as granular as possible.

We wanted to get email details of certain attendees of a particular conference happenning in the US. Dropcontact helped by providing exact email ids that helped us schedule a meeting with the particular employee at the conference. It also helps in getting other details like LinkedIn profile so we can connect with them on linkedin making it more realistic and not a spam

• Sequencing automated email campaigns for outbound prospecting (BD Function).
• Integrating with Sales Navigator to help me find emails/phone #' numbers/"add to sequence" while prospecting. It's easy and seamless to find & then load contacts into Cadences.
• Integration with Salesforce is a huge plus. Allows me to not worry about logging anything, but the executive team can see my activity & what is going on (emails going out, responses I get, etc.).
• The analytics on the outreach data is always helpful as well (open rates, click rates, etc.).

• Credit usage is not always clear, we've done actions and then been surprised by the credit usage, so having more clarity on this BEFORE the credits are used up would be great.
• LinkedIn steps are not ideal, there's no automation and does nothing to speed up or help with that step, this really is an email platform, not for social media.

It is a very simple UI, just upload a CSV of all the contact email IDs you require and it will provide you with email IDs from the list (Enrichment process). It will enrich upto 80-90% of the contacts and rest will be returned as blanks without email ids but thats ok. You will definitely have success with the enriched data

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.

Another benefit is for pricing related which has been understand from our management team.

The user interface is easy and no addition skills is required to learn Dropcontact. Other tools have lot of other features as well that will be tried to upsell but this tool isn't like that. It helps find the best email address that doesn't bounce and also updates emails and gives you the most recent email id even if the person switched organizations.
