# Prosyo vs Apollo.io: Features, Pricing & Best Alternative (2026)

Apollo.io sells you a database. Prosyo sells you meetings. Compare data accuracy, credit models, LinkedIn automation, pricing and the reply inbox — updated September 2026.

![Prosyo vs Apollo.io comparison for B2B outbound sales software](https://prosyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/prosyo-vs-apollo-2026.png)

**Prosyo vs Apollo.io** comes down to one question: do you need a bigger list, or do you need the list you already have to turn into conversations? Apollo.io is a sales intelligence database with sequencing bolted on — its value is the 200 million+ contact records. Prosyo is an outbound system where finding people is one step of five, and the other four are verifying the contact, writing the opener, running LinkedIn and email as one sequence, and handling the reply.

If you are comparing these two, you are almost certainly weighing a database subscription against a workflow. This page covers where each one wins, what Apollo customers publicly complain about, and how to switch if you decide to.

## Prosyo vs Apollo.io: quick verdict

**Choose Prosyo** if you want LinkedIn and email in the same sequence, contact data you only pay for when it is verified, a unified reply inbox with voice notes, and the ability to run the whole thing from ChatGPT or Claude.

**Choose Apollo.io** if raw database size is the point — you need to pull tens of thousands of records across many markets, you already have a separate LinkedIn tool, and you are comfortable verifying data before you send.

## Current pricing

| Plan | Prosyo | Apollo.io |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Free | 7-day trial, no credit card, every core feature | Free tier with limited monthly credits |
| Entry | Starter $19 / month | Basic, around $49 per user per month billed annually |
| Mid tier | Multichannel $49 / month | Professional, around $79 per user per month billed annually |
| Team tier | Agency / Team $49 per seat per month, minimum 2 seats | Organization, around $119 per user per month billed annually, minimum seats apply |
| What a credit buys | Only verified, delivered contacts. Nothing delivered, nothing charged | Credits consumed on record reveals, verified or not |

Apollo’s entry tier costs roughly two and a half times Prosyo’s, and the gap widens per seat. The more important difference is the credit model: Prosyo charges for contacts that pass verification, Apollo charges for reveals.

## Feature-by-feature comparison

| Area | Prosyo | Apollo.io |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Contact database | Enrichment built in — work email, direct dial, title, company and research notes, verified before delivery above 89% confidence | Very large B2B database, its core strength, with broad filtering |
| Data accuracy | Below the confidence threshold nothing is delivered and no credit is charged. Never invents a field | Reviewers widely report outdated titles, dead emails and voicemail-only numbers |
| LinkedIn automation | Profile visit, like, comment, connection request, LinkedIn message, email, delay, if/else and Intent conditions in one sequence — stops on reply, withdraws unaccepted invites | Not a LinkedIn automation product. Email-first sequencing |
| Email outreach | Gmail, Outlook or any SMTP/IMAP mailbox. Your domain, never a shared pool | Strong email sequencing, a core part of the platform |
| Account safety controls | Safe by default, nothing to configure: human pacing, business hours only, no follow-ups after a reply, old invites cleared automatically | Not applicable to LinkedIn; email sending controls only |
| Voice notes in the inbox | Yes — LinkedIn voice notes play inline with their duration, images open full size | No |
| Unified reply inbox | LinkedIn and email in one thread list, replies sorted automatically, drafted answers and summaries, snooze, assign and stage changes | Email inbox and sequence replies; no LinkedIn conversations |
| Buying intent | People publicly asking for what you sell, messaging you first, filling in a form, or hitting a funding or hiring moment — with a drafted first message. 30–100 people a month included | Intent data available on higher tiers, typically as an add-on |
| Pipeline | Six stages from New to Customer, table and board views, some stages updating automatically, HubSpot stage sync | Built-in CRM with deal management |
| Run it from ChatGPT or Claude | Yes, through MCP. Included free on every plan and uses no Prosyo credits. Confirms before anything sends | Yes — official Apollo MCP (beta, paid plans), for data and sequences; no LinkedIn sending |
| Chrome extension | Prosyo: Book Meetings on Autopilot — export from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, enrich, add to campaigns, see Intent priority on a profile | Yes, widely used for prospecting on LinkedIn |

## Where Apollo.io is genuinely strong

### 1. Database scale

Nothing in this comparison changes the fact that Apollo has one of the largest B2B contact databases available at self-serve prices. If your job is to pull 20,000 records across six countries this quarter, that is what Apollo is built for.

### 2. Filtering depth

Technographics, headcount growth, funding, department size — Apollo’s filters are deep, and for account-based teams building large segmented lists that depth matters.

### 3. A CRM included

Apollo bundles deal management. For a team with no CRM at all, that consolidates two purchases into one.

### 4. Email sequencing at volume

Apollo’s email engine is mature and handles high-volume multi-step campaigns well.

## What Apollo customers actually say

The most useful evidence in any comparison is what paying users report. On G2, Apollo’s reviews surface the same themes repeatedly:

- **Data accuracy is the most-cited complaint**, appearing in hundreds of reviews — outdated job titles, old email addresses, and phone numbers that go to voicemail.
- **Bounce rates** are reported in the region of 15% to 25% without separate pre-verification, which for cold email is the difference between a healthy domain and a burnt one.
- **Data quality outside North America** is described as noticeably weaker.
- **Credits disappear quickly**, and reviewers describe the credit system as restrictive on lower tiers. One reported being locked out mid-cycle with over a thousand credits unused.
- **Support on self-serve tiers** is described as slow and heavily automated.

None of this makes Apollo a bad product — it makes it a database product, and databases decay. The question is who absorbs the cost of that decay. With Apollo, you pay a credit to find out an email is dead. With Prosyo, a contact below 89% confidence is not delivered and not charged, so your credit balance tracks people you can actually reach.

## The LinkedIn gap

This is the largest functional difference between the two products, and it is structural rather than a feature Apollo has not got round to building.

Apollo is an email-first sales engagement platform. Prosyo runs LinkedIn as a first-class channel: profile visits, likes, comments, connection requests and messages sit in the same sequence as the email steps, sending from your own LinkedIn seat at human pacing. If a prospect replies on LinkedIn, the email steps stop too, because both channels read the same prospect record.

For most B2B teams in 2026, a cold email alone is a weaker first touch than a connection request from someone who commented on their post last week. If you buy Apollo, you will likely buy a LinkedIn tool alongside it — and then run two audiences, two inboxes and two sets of reporting.

## Which is better for solo founders and small teams?

Prosyo, on price and on completeness. Starter at $19 a month includes LinkedIn outreach, verified enrichment, Intent, the unified inbox and MCP access. Apollo’s entry tier costs more and still leaves you without a LinkedIn motion.

## Which is better for large outbound teams?

It depends on what the bottleneck is. If you cannot build big enough lists, Apollo’s database is the answer. If you can build lists but they are not converting, more records will not help — and Prosyo’s per-seat model, per-account safety controls and per-rep reporting are built for exactly that problem.

## Switching from Apollo.io to Prosyo

Most of a migration is exporting a list, and Prosyo is built to take it:

1. **Export your Apollo contacts to CSV.** Whatever segments you were actively working.
2. **Import into Prosyo** and map the columns, including custom fields you use as variables. Duplicates are handled on import.
3. **Connect your LinkedIn seat and your mailbox.** Your existing domain and sending reputation carry over — nothing routes through a shared pool.
4. **Re-enrich the list.** Anything Apollo returned that cannot be verified will not be delivered, and will not cost you a credit. This is usually the moment people see the difference.
5. **Start from a one-click blueprint** and add the LinkedIn steps Apollo never gave you. Or describe the campaign in a sentence and edit what Prosyo drafts.

Budget an afternoon. The 7-day trial needs no credit card, so you can run both in parallel before deciding.

## Prosyo vs Apollo.io: final recommendation

**Choose Apollo.io** when the database is the product you are buying and you have the volume to justify it, plus a separate tool for LinkedIn.

**Choose Prosyo** when you want fewer, better-verified contacts, both channels in one sequence, every reply in one inbox, and a bill that only goes up when the data actually lands.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Prosyo a good Apollo.io alternative?

Yes, if your problem is conversion rather than list size. Prosyo covers prospecting, verified enrichment, LinkedIn and email sequencing, a unified inbox and pipeline from $19 a month. It is not a replacement for Apollo’s database scale if you need tens of thousands of records a month.

### How much does Apollo.io cost in 2026?

Apollo publishes a free tier plus paid plans starting around $49 per user per month on annual billing, rising to roughly $79 and $119 on higher tiers. Confirm current pricing on Apollo’s own pricing page before purchasing.

### Does Apollo.io do LinkedIn automation?

No. Apollo is an email-first sales engagement platform with a Chrome extension for prospecting. It does not run LinkedIn connection requests, messages or engagement steps as automated sequence steps. Prosyo does, in the same sequence as the email.

### Why are Apollo email bounce rates high?

Reviewers attribute it to database decay — records age faster than they are refreshed, so a percentage of revealed emails are no longer valid. G2 reviewers commonly report 15% to 25% bounce rates without separate pre-verification. Prosyo verifies before delivery and does not charge for contacts it cannot verify.

### Can I use Prosyo and Apollo together?

Yes. Plenty of teams keep Apollo for list building and export to Prosyo for enrichment, LinkedIn plus email sequencing and reply management. Prosyo re-verifies anything you import.

### Does Prosyo have a free trial?

Yes — 7 days, no credit card. It includes one LinkedIn account, one mailbox, 25 AI credits and every core feature. If you do not pick a plan, your data stays where it is.

### Can I run Prosyo from ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. Prosyo connects as a custom connector in Claude and as an app in ChatGPT, so you can research prospects, draft sequences, read the inbox and launch campaigns from chat. It is included free on every plan, costs no Prosyo credits, and asks you to confirm before anything sends.
