In terms of Apollo.io, the easiest part is its integration and versatility in handling data. LinkedIn NAVIGATOR, on the other hand, is also a decent tool, but it’s significantly more expensive than Apollo.io and Lusha, especially when considering a decent set of data. However, …
On LinkedIn - It is not as personalised/granular. You can only look for prospects with industries which tend to be quite vague. Apollo.io allows Keywords which makes the search I want a lot more accurate. It also doesn't have email or call integration. I like to have everything …
Major differentiator is the cost and accuracy of data. While other tools solves the purpose too, Apollo.io in specific gives better data which is more accurate and cheaper. They also have a startup program which gives 50% discount to startup’s with less employees which supports …
ZoomInfo had great data but the price was insane for what we needed. Lusha was cheaper but too limited we still had to use other tools for outreach and tracking. Apollo.io basically gave us the best of all products good data, built-in sequences, CRM sync, and automation all in …
Salesloft to be exact is only a scheduling tool with having a kind of similar features like Apollo.io in context of sequences. in Salesloft there is cadence which is very similar to sequence in Apollo.io and it also works seamlessly but on the contrary it does not have …
So we have evaluated Seamless AI, Enrich AI, and Snov.io before finally deciding to settle for Apollo. These platforms have better UI and some, like Snov, have good email sending capability, but they all lag when it comes to their database; they do not match up to Apollo. …
Apollo.io has a mid tier dialer that I was looking to replace. Ultimately, I never replaced Apollo.io's dialer because it was really nice to just have one single tool that everything worked through, and never had to transfer data or call logs between platforms.
Apollo.io stacks up against other interfaces because of its overall all in one prospecting tool capabilities right from account identification to end to end reachout to leads no other prospecting tool provides such wide range of features for a bd reachout. It's a …
In terms of everything Apollo.io was very user friendly and was more accurate. The data received was on point and we did get more contact and email data from Apollo.io rather than Linkedin. The value for money was way better than the platforms we tried.
Apollo was a combination of Salesloft (outreach software) and ZoomInfo (B2B contact information). Apollo ended up being the perfect solution, and well-priced for the value!
Neither of the services I've previously used have been adept at giving me accurate contact information, or helping me to reach out to the folks I'm interested in speaking with. These tools don't help me be more efficient or save time. They might work with brute force, but …
ZoomInfo's sequencing is very early in development so there aren't any management tools yet and it's pretty buggy. Apollo's sequencing is much more flexible, easy to use and feature-rich. LinkedIn Sales Nav is awful for searches, no sequencing or email or contact data. It's …
I researched what would be best for small medtech startups and Apollo.io was the top choice. The other's begin to get too pricey for advanced features. For a little over $100/month, you can get a lot done with Apollo.io. I have not used the others so I can't really compare too …
LinkedIn Sales Navigator's search functionality is far superior to any of its competitors The lead quality is also far rich in terms of having the right information in CRM LinkedIn Sales Navigator does not have a very good Sales Intelligence feature - like the ones present …
Sales navigator is a good platform however there aspects where Apollo.io and Lusha enrich the prospecting quality, When you used together does give you the best possible results

Chose LinkedIn Sales Navigator
LinkedIn Sales Navigator is the best at finding leads, in my opinion. However, it's not the best at finding contact information. You need a combination of ZoomInfo + LinkedIn Sales Navigator + Outreach in order to actually contact leads. Apollo.io does all of that for you in …
We preferred LinkedIn Sales Navigator because of its brand recognition, brand value and preference among our sales and marketing leadership to use the product. The price was a bit on the higher side but we still chose it over competitors because we were getting lot more value …
LinkedIn Sales Navigator has direct access to LinkedIn data, so its data is first-hand and very accurate compared to others. The tools are used for various purposes, but overall, we can utilize Sales Nav to identify individuals and then utilize the other tools to build lists …
Linkedin Sales Navigator has a specific role in your sales strategy -- to help you find the right person based on their job title or company, etc. DiscoverOrg and SalesLoft dig a bit deeper into giving more comprehensive contact information like email and address. Those options …
Seamless is easier to use than both of these and provides much more accurate contact information. You can also set up an advanced search to prospect much more effectively than Apollo.io and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. It has a much better UI and actually has customer support, …
There are many differentiators; the best can be INTENT data. Seamless.ai's Intent data is very strong and accurate. This helps in prioritizing hot leads through signals and track when prospects change roles which can also help in timely engagements with these leads. It is also …
Cost-Effectiveness: Definitely Seamless.ai is better. It's way cheaper than its direct peers in the market. Good product for teams / companies in the SMB or Mid Market segment starting their Outbound Sales growth Integration Touch Points: Almost similar as its competitors. …
Apollo.io played big role for us in saving $$$ by bringing data mining, AI Email Writing and acting as CRM altogether...for small to medium organization they can surely rely on Apollo.io...and it is doing things mostly right with some room for improvement for sure. Sales and Marketing team saves time in getting their emails drafted based on prompts, list of contacts they can fetch in minutes of time, earlier we used to have seperate tool just to mine data, then we used to upload the CSV file to email marketing tool, then we used to draft email...for all these process we were using three different tools - Apollo.io brought everything under one umbrella.
LinkedIn Sales Navigator is hands down the best tool for identifying targeted contacts or leads. You can drill down on a company and look at its entire workforce, or search by the exact title that is your key target. The information is up to date, as people tend to keep their LinkedIn profiles current. In terms of other marketing functions LI Sales Navigator is extremely limited. BUT if you are looking to identify contacts for prospecting purposes, then this tool is what you need.
Seamless AI is very well suited for the first round of prospecting, or when going after a very publicly known and traded company. A good example would be popular brand names in the country. Whereas it does show limitations for smaller companies, it cannot yield deep data in the same way as others might. However, it is agile, very fast, and compatible. I highly recommend it to any sales force.
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
Search Functionality: LinkedIn Sales Navigator has one of the most powerful search functions. The filters are not unnecessary and some are very well thought of. You can drill down to finding a needle in a haystack of 20000 employee company when it comes to using LinkedIn Sales Navigator if done in the right manner.
Smart Links: Gone are the days of attached Decks. One can simply create their deck online using this feature on LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or even upload an existing ppt. A smart link is shareable as well as trackable for opens and clicks.
Fewer Clicks: With a single click, I can filter out decision-makers in any company. With a single click, I can import contacts from LinkedIn Sales Navigator to Salesforce. Lesser clicks are actually less stressful if you think.
Refresh Rate of Seamless.ai is quite good. A quick way to know this is see if a lead has changed jobs recently on LinkedIn, how quickly does it get refreshed in Seamless
Search Capabilities are decent. Not as strong as some of its competitors, but would do the job for sure.
Exporting lead lists is a great feature and a boon for saving a lot of time. Direct CSVs can be exported and fed into the CRM.
There are certain features about prospecting that require updates. For example, if people switch organisations, it should be automatically requesting the new email or new contact data for a particular contact in order to be updated in the system
The lead databases that are created if their new addition should automatically be updated in the list that I created with Apollo.io
This question is a no-brainer. The tool is the industry standard for anyone tied to sales and marketing. The name "LinkedIn Sales Navigator" is synonymous with streamlining relevant customer and account data in an easy to use format that is actionable and intelligent. The focus on continuous improvement and richer means of communicating with customers and prospects is evident each time new features are rolled out. The social component of the tool even includes a gamification component to ensure that peers remain relevant among each other, which is refreshing and enjoyable for those who engage the tool on a daily basis.
Apollo.io does provide campaign setup help and made my SDRs team's life easier, with the use of lead enrichment, lead distribution, I can manage my team from a single dashboard. It also comes with CRM that helps me navigate the progress on leads and what my SDRs progress.
Overall, it's very user-friendly. It's hard for a tool to make sorting through loads of data easy, but Sales Nav does this very well. Its advanced search features enable us to be selective in finding the right people to talk to and connect with.
In the modern world, where everything is AI driven, companies need to make changes in the old fashioned approach of reaching out to people, seamless.ai with the features like Intent data or Auto-pilot help in making whole process very easy and faster, which helps in increasing the average number of demo calls taken in a month and allow to sell product to many more prospects. So overall, to enhance the productivity of the inside sales team, Seamless.ai as one of the preferred tools
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.
I would recommend LinkedIn Sales Navigator entirely. It has been the most user-friendly tool to use starting off in a sales role. I genuinely enjoy the navigation of the tool and how easy it is to save lists and see job changes within those lists. Generating leads and finding the most up to date information on prospects is all housed within this tool.
I am unsure of the rollout, as I was not involved. I was an early adopter, and I have had a lot of success with the tool personally at multiple organizations, but I have no idea whether the implementation process encountered any errors. I can personally say that it works, and that I have not encountered significant issues with the tool since adoption, although a few issues like messages showing up as being unread even though they have been opened have been an on-again/off-again issues throughout the past few years. Overall, the company is doing a great job, and our implementation seems to have been effective.
All of these platforms are good and offer valuable tools, but where Apollo.io is different is how this one platform does the job of several different ones. It is nice not having to use multiple platforms to get things done and makes integration and analytics issues occur less often. It is user friendly and constantly working to improve.
LinkedIn Sales Navigator is much more valuable than Dice or Cognism, as we do most of our prospecting on LinkedIn. Therefore, it means we can build lists of our prospects based on activity, connections, and buying intention. With Cognism and Dice, you cannot do this as they do not work alongside the LinkedIn platform and, therefore, lack the functionality that is essential to what we are using the platform for.
Seamless.AI is hands down the best platform currently out in the market and cost effective. ZoomInfo is great as well, but their price compared to Seamless.AI is more than half of them. Why pay more for the same great product?
