Visit Apollo

Apollo is usually the right starting point when an AI agency’s bottleneck is data: finding the right accounts, contacts, and buying signals before any email is sent.

Pros

  • Large B2B contact and company database with buyer filters
  • Combines prospecting data, sequencing, and engagement in one workflow
  • Practical free tier for validating an outbound motion

Cons

  • Database breadth does not equal accuracy; verify email quality per list
  • Sending at scale still requires careful deliverability controls
