Apollo.io

Sales & CRM · Free / $49/mo · ✦ Partner

What it does

AI-powered sales intelligence platform. Find leads, get verified contact data, and automate outreach sequences at scale. Over 275 million contacts in the database — one of the largest B2B contact databases in existence.

Who it's for

Founders doing their own outreach. Sales reps who need better lead data. Marketers building partner lists. Anyone who's spent hours manually researching contacts on LinkedIn.

3 steps to get started

01

Create a free account — the free tier gives you 50 email credits/month, enough to test it properly before committing.

02

Build a lead search using filters — industry, company size, job title, tech stack. You'll have a qualified list in under 5 minutes.

03

Set up a 3-step email Sequence using their built-in sequencer. Write it once, run it on autopilot.

⭐ Promptory Take

Apollo earned its vault spot because it replaces 3–4 separate tools in one platform. The free tier is genuinely useful. At $49/month it's one of the best ROI plays in the vault for anyone with a sales motion.
