Read full review Their email warm-up service is a standout feature, doing an excellent job of priming new email accounts for outreach. This helps avoid spam filters and improves overall deliverability, which is crucial when you're reaching out cold.

You get an assigned account manager but 9/10 times they wouldn't know what you wanted and/or how the product works or how to fix it. Vast majority of the time it was a canned response that made you question if they read the message, or if they read it and did not understand a word. The software was relatively buggy and lacked features that were promised upon signup. They seem to have some large corporate clients and if you aren't one none of your bug submissions, feature requests, or concerns will be addressed. Their growing quickly so they seem to be very understaffed which I believe caused many of the issues above. The data, while good, can quickly run out if you're looking for specific types of leads. If you're looking for something generic like Managers at companies between 10-5000 people, you can pull leads all day every day. However if you're looking for a specific industry, specific title, and specific location - don't count on having an endless supply of leads (or even really enough to use month after month).

But I would add to it that the tool was very self-explanatory, so there wasn't much need for support. With Outreach, we have a closer relationship with our CSM because of the intricacy in things like SFDC task mapping.

I have found Apollo to be so easy to integrate and use with all of my prospecting that I haven't really even tried out the other two. I bet I could find some useful things by using Hunter.io or Lusha as well, but there is honestly no need since I can do everything I want and more with Apollo. I would just be wasting time trying to figure out another platform when I can be focused on growing my own business with Apollo.

Snov.io both have their perks, but they cater to different needs. Growbots is great if you're looking for an all-in-one, automated solution to handle large outreach campaigns with minimal fuss.
Snov.io , on the other hand, gives you more flexibility to customize your lead generation and outreach, and it's especially appealing for its more budget-friendly pricing. So, if you need something straightforward and automated, Growbots is your go-to, but if you're after a cost-effective tool that you can tweak to fit your specific needs,
Snov.io might be the better pick.
