Considered Both Products
Apollo.io
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.
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo is much better than lemlist because it gives you more comprehensive offerings in terms of CRM, automated messages, and the UI is much easier and better.
Chose Apollo.io
Similar, much more affordable for the same type of product.
LeadCandy
Chose LeadCandy
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 …

User Testimonials

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.

While we strive for accuracy, some nuances or meanings may not be perfectly captured.

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.

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

  • 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".

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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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
