Apollo.io vs. RocketReach

For startups or companies who needs to get big amounts of data but at the same time have some insights about their prospects and leads is the best tool, it provides easy to use tools and interface that makes it simple to any user withut any level of experience, also great with data analysis for small companies.

Good as an additional tool for lead validation and pre-qualification efforts in the sales research process. May not be appropriate for in-depth research. However, can be useful as part of a suite of tools

• Allows users to easily add new prospects to database without much manual effort at all
• Allows you to make cold calls from different area codes that are relevant to where your prospect is located
• Allows A/B testing for emails so you can figure out which ones are gaining the most traction
• You can also find prospects based off of title, company, technologies, etc

Incentivized

• Filtering Criteria
• Searching for Contacts
• Saving Contact Information

• Their customer service is just terrible. 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).

• Bulk exports and bulk searches
• Data accuracy in certain cases
• Expansion of integration options

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

Apollo.io is very helpful for any sales team. It is a great way to create a large database of mostly accurate contacts. This has been very helpful for my sales team as we are constantly reaching out to prospects via phone and email and looking to be as strategic as possible which Apollo.io helps us with.

Incentivized

Has some room for improvement, especially with regards to integrations. However, its core offering works well and does it without much drama. Could use a bit more capacity though

I received excellent support at any time I opened up a ticket. 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.

Apollo is inexpensive of all the above tools. Data accuracy of other tools like lintel and infotelligent is much much better but they are expensive also. One needs to be careful while using data from Apollo because email bounces can damage your domain reputation. I suggest you use a different SMTP server while sending mail.

RocketReach was more user friendly than Zoom info, but also it was more logical with use case. The prices for RocketReach remain unmatched! You get a lot of value for your money and I did not need all of the extra capabilities from Zoom info. RocketReach gets the job done for me.

• Generated a lot of expectations that were not real when we needed them
• The ROI was positive but we decided to stop using the tool
• We loved how easy to use it was and how easy it was to interact with the Support team
• There is room for improvement in the video tutorials - they were from old versions of the software that would not be useful for the version at hand

Incentivized

• Increase the amount of contacts we upload daily to our CRM
• Lead us to send out 2x the amount of emails each day
• Uncover new prospects
