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.
MediaRadar
Chose MediaRadar
MediaRadar does not stack up well against them, hence why we canceled our contract (which was a nightmare in and of itself).
Chose MediaRadar
MediaRadar was the best tool in the native advertising space. We use a combination of multiple resources like Alf, Winmo, Seller Crowd to get a holistic view. Every platform has its unique advantages and disadvantages over the others.
MediaRadar's support is outstanding and …
Chose MediaRadar
I am far more confident in MediaRadar's data quality.
Chose MediaRadar
Media Radar is not as clean an interface, and not nearly as robust a platform. If you're looking for lots of information in every category on a company, you're better off going with the biggest firms (like Zoominfo/DiscoverOrg). There's just more data on more people, with a …
Chose MediaRadar
MediaRadar is what my company chooses to use for this purpose because of a few specific unique things it does, such as tracking competitors and allowing us to make mock-ups.
Chose MediaRadar
The two products are fairly similar, and I use both to supplement one another. Personally, Winmo is more useful to me as a tool to view industry trends, brand changes, etc. I do also use Winmo for contacts, however Media Radar is what I find most effective when doing brand …

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.

If you're looking for contacts and leads in the media and advertising space, this is a very useful tool. I only have the light version, so I only have access to contact information, which is good for our budget. It makes it very easy to find the right people to get in touch with on media and advertising opportunities. If you pay more, you also get good info on their spend, spending categories, and spending periods.

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

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.

  • Data is mostly invalid and out of date. We had to look for a new solution.
  • Customer service is terrible.
  • Their legal team is aggressive and borderline abusive.

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.

Support Rating
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.

MediaRadar was the best tool in the native advertising space. We use a combination of multiple resources like Alf, Winmo, Seller Crowd to get a holistic view. Every platform has its unique advantages and disadvantages over the others. MediaRadar's support is outstanding and makes it easy to work with them. Winmo has a more comprehensive view of media budgets compared to MR.

Return on Investment
  • Apollo.io has helped me find a good set of new target audience for the business that I am in, essentially helping me build a prospective line and grow my lead database by 25 to 30% where I lack a certain skill
  • The Apollo.io quality of the data that it has is significantly better through other competitors like Lusha and others
  • In terms of the revenue increase, there have been certain instances where I have found a new acquirer that essentially I would not have found in a general scenario and that has help me generate from the new identified lead

  • Since I use Media Radar to locate brand information as well as contacts for outreach, it has positively impacted the amount of opportunities my organization receives.
