Apollo review
All-in-one prospecting (database, sequencer and dialer) at a fraction of the enterprise price, strongest in the US.
Apollo.io is an all-in-one sales platform (a large contact database plus a multichannel sequencer and dialer), best known for value for money and a genuinely usable free plan. It's strongest in the US; outside it, data accuracy and deliverability are the weak spots independent tests keep flagging.

- Bounce rates on Apollo-sourced emails are reported at 15–25%+, higher internationally.
- Its crowdsourced "living data network" model raises GDPR-consent questions for European outreach.
- Support is slow on lower tiers, and billing and account-suspension disputes are a recurring complaint.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does Apollo cost?
- US plans are from $588/year.
- Does Apollo offer a free trial?
- Apollo offers a limited free trial or sample so you can test data quality before committing.
- Is Apollo GDPR compliant?
- States EU/UK GDPR and CCPA/CPRA compliance, offers a DPA and a privacy centre, and relies on a legitimate-interest basis for holding business-contact data. The catch is its 'living data network': contacts are partly crowdsourced from users who sync their inboxes, which has drawn GDPR-consent criticism for European prospects. No regulator fine on record, but confirm your lawful basis before EU/UK outreach.
