Apollo.io vs. LeadCandy

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.

LeadCandy is well suited in both the front and back of the office, along with the staff that is consistently involved in other activities around our school site. It is not as appropriate when the staff does not need to do a lot of searching for emails.

• 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.).

Incentivized

• Speed- the process from start to finish is rather quick.
• Innovative-there are a lot of features on LeadCandy that are not on other apps!
• Remarkable- the feedback from the staff has only consisted of "how nice it is we’ve needed a program like this".

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Some older staff aren't as receptive to new products and softwares.
• Had to relearn and teach staff- teaching the staff the new program is time consuming.

Generally quite a reliable tool with decent data quality/availability. Pricing works well for our team and our use case

It is easy to use. The UI has enough options to learn, with advanced documentation and support. The customer service is quick to respond and assists with information in real time. The UI has different segments for each feature which makes it easy to use.

Settings are easy to change as per preferred requirements

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.

Apollo.io has all features of prospecting, outreach automation including email sequences, campaign tracking, lead scoring, and analytics in one interface which enables sales persons to manage their entire sales funnel without having any other extra tool. Another benefit is for pricing related which has been understand from our management team.

They are similar in many ways, LeadBot uses conversations, not forms, so all of the lead qualifications you need to do can happen in real-time while someone is live on your website. LeadCandy instead helps you build and find people which then leads to conversations. I feel like LeadCandy is the complete package, where they help you from start to finish.
