Considered Both Products
Apollo.io
Chose Apollo.io
It is more advanced than Outplay, better integrations, introduction of AI features. It was a better fit than Outplay for our business needs.
Chose Apollo.io
havent used many others, but, to me, Apollo.io seems to be the best,
Chose Apollo.io
I just did the trial so this question in not relevant.
Chose Apollo.io
Outreach is way better than Apollo.io
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo has a built-in customer and contact base. That was the major point.
Chose Apollo.io
less expensive and more comprehensive.
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo is much cheaper compared to the others. The filter options are much better in Apollo.
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io has all features of prospecting, outreach automation including email sequences, campaign tracking, lead scoring, and analytics in one interface which enables sales persons to manage their entire sales funnel without having any other extra tool. Another benefit is for …
Chose Apollo.io
In Outreach, when a Sequence ends, a pop-up automatically appears prompting you to add the person to the next Sequence. Apollo.io doesn’t have this feature. Outreach also allows you to run Sequences directly from the Extension, and the workflow is person-centric. For example, …
Chose Apollo.io
I think the platform is more user-friendly, and the data is more concise.
Chose Apollo.io
In terms of everything Apollo.io was very user friendly and was more accurate. The data received was on point and we did get more contact and email data from Apollo.io rather than Linkedin. The value for money was way better than the platforms we tried.
Chose Apollo.io
As of now Apollo definitely seems to be better than ZoomInfo.
Chose Apollo.io
So we have evaluated Seamless AI, Enrich AI, and Snov.io before finally deciding to settle for Apollo. These platforms have better UI and some, like Snov, have good email sending capability, but they all lag when it comes to their database; they do not match up to Apollo. …
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo is my favorite in terms of the quality for emails and phone . and i have been using so many other tools which unable to gave me that kind of data.
Chose Apollo.io
I have not used other products.
Chose Apollo.io
The main other product I've used is Hubspot but I used that as more of a CRM and where I wasn't focused on prospecting, generating leads, sequences, etc with it even though I know that is a possibility. So I can't necessarily compare the two given I used them for separate tasks
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io has a mid tier dialer that I was looking to replace. Ultimately, I never replaced Apollo.io's dialer because it was really nice to just have one single tool that everything worked through, and never had to transfer data or call logs between platforms.
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io stacks up against other interfaces because of its overall all in one prospecting tool capabilities right from account identification to end to end reachout to leads no other prospecting tool provides such wide range of features for a bd reachout. It's a …
Chose Apollo.io
Apollo.io is much faster in gathering data that I'm searching for and it's pretty simple to control. I can also save searches, lists, and export the data at whichever capacity I desire. Also, I like the new features that involve AI, Buying Intent, and LinkedIn data scraping. …
UpLead
Chose UpLead
UpLead costs a bit more, but I found the data on UpLead to be well worth it in comparison and it was easier to transfer to our CRM (HubSpot). I like how they also provide useful API integration into UpLead and I hope they begin to offer more automation in the future.
Chose UpLead
UpLead provides an easier user interface, a better overall experience, and a much better value versus its competitors. The leads don't bounce, they work every time, and I couldn't be happier or more pleased with the results that I've achieved as a salesperson using UpLead!! I …
Chose UpLead
Winmo is great but is very expensive. Apollo.io is not as user friendly and didn't provide the content in an easy manner. Also didn't have as many mobile numbers.
Chose UpLead
While ZoomInfo has a larger database and offers more of the technologies that we are interested in, UpLead has been a good supplement to ZoomInfo to find leads that we couldn't find in ZoomInfo.
Chose UpLead
UpLead has many similar solutions to ZoomInfo but not quite as extensive and expensive. I find sourcing contact info on UpLead more accurate with the email validation feature provided and if an email gets bounced, I am not charged.
Chose UpLead
I think ZoomInfo is a better lead generation tool. But I think UpLead is the better value for the money. I used ZoomInfo every day for 2 years so right now it's not a fair comparison. So it's possible that UpLead may catch up. I have not been using UpLead every day yet.
Chose UpLead
I like UpLead because it offers a better price point compared to other tools and verifies the potential lead's email by pinging it before I download my list. This ensures that the contact information is accurate and up-to-date, saving time and improving the efficiency of my …
Chose UpLead
As mentioned before, UpLead enables me to verify email addresses as well as browse through different employees of the same company, thus enabling me to pick and choose my correct target audience.
Chose UpLead
UpLead is beginner-friendly and much easy and comfortable for me to use and navigate all the icons.
Chose UpLead
These both software are the lead bases but both have differences, and UpLead is a better database than ZoomInfo. The major difference that I encountered while using ZoomInfo was that a lot of my emails bounced back. On the other hand, UpLead has real-time email verification. …
Chose UpLead
High-quality, targeted and verified lead generation was a challenge for us but UpLead has made this a very easy task with even better quality results than we anticipated. Uplead is very straightforward to use. It allows you to create a filtered view of leads based on the …
Chose UpLead
UpLead is ranked higher because I get genuine data 100% upgraded features filters are awesome in means of searching. Customer service is so friendly and cooperative that keeps me so cool and satisfied with my business workload that has been now being covered in a professional …
Chose UpLead
I wanted to discontinue uplead as I got better results from using crunchbase and Linkedin SalesNav.
Chose UpLead
I have used Crunchbase but UpLead is more authentic and reliable and also it gives better features than the previous one. This helps users to contact the right person to save time for the business. Making a list of companies, industries and location is a breeze with its layout.
Chose UpLead
We tried ZoomInfo before, but, this time, UpLead draws our full attention with its service.
Chose UpLead
Lusha and UpLead are very similar and trusted. But, we choose UpLead because it allows unlimited users in the professional plan.
Chose UpLead
I have used ZoomInfo in the past. While it gives out good information, it costs a fortune and is not as user friendly. I prefer UpLead all the way.
Chose UpLead
Uplead competes well, but Zoominfo lists cell phone numbers. However, Uplead is more affordable and offers almost every feature its competitors offer.

The automatic email feature is extremely helpful for quickly contacting more potential clients. It is user-friendly and easy to access all buttons, which helps you navigate the task efficiently. It could greatly help to acquire more clients for a project to be successful. I cannot see anything less appropriate for me to achieve the goal I am aiming for.

  • UpLead is the best lead database in terms of price per lead and provided the most accurate and valid emails.
  • It constantly updates their list and adding new people, companies and removes bad leads. However, you need to very careful when you are filtering and sorting data, and any wrong selection can cause tons of garbage leads/ emails.
  • It allows us to send the information directly to our CRM, saving me time and keeping us organized.
  • We especially appreciate the real-time email verification feature of UpLead.

Cons
  • I thought the AI email-generating function was weak. The email sounded way too robotic.
  • I wish there were a split-screen option that allowed me to view my lists and leads simultaneously.
  • I wish putting contacts into lists wouldn't cost any credits.

  • I would like to see an easier way to enter a contacts name to get immediate information
  • I would like to see more access to comparable competitors to the company I am searching

Usability
Apollo.io has an amazing amount of features. It's great being able to complete so many tasks in one space but it's also overwhelming. It took me a few days to work through all of the options when searching for a company or person. After a few days it started to provide companies for me which was confusing before I understood what was happening. At first, I was also confused about what a "sequence" was so maybe some of the jargon can be confusing. I think with time I will become more comfortable once I understand all of the options offered.

The tool is robust, it's powerful, it's accurate, and it's extremely helpful and pivotal in my current banking sales role. I could not succeed without UpLead's accurate data and contact information. I'm thankful that such an incredible service exists at such a fair and reasonable price, thank you for the value that you provide your customers and thank you for making me a very successful salesman and wealthier man

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.

Alternatives Considered
Apollo.io has all features of prospecting, outreach automation including email sequences, campaign tracking, lead scoring, and analytics in one interface which enables sales persons to manage their entire sales funnel without having any other extra tool. Another benefit is for pricing related which has been understand from our management team.

These both software are the lead bases but both have differences, and UpLead is a better database than ZoomInfo. The major difference that I encountered while using ZoomInfo was that a lot of my emails bounced back. On the other hand, UpLead has real-time email verification. So, there was a high chance when using ZoomInfo that a large number of my emails were bounced back as the email ids were either fake or didn't even exist in the first place.

Return on Investment
  • Increased # of booked meetings from outbound email outreach.
  • Our sales team's productivity has improved when prospecting/doing outreach (which has a monetary value, given our salaried status). This makes us more productive, enabling us to accomplish more and reach a greater number of people in a day.
  • We've only recently implemented this, so we're still waiting to close, but leads are on their way to doing so.

  • We use the data to conduct highly targeted email campaigns, on average we're seeing open rates anywhere from 35% to 60% which is very good.
  • We have been able to reduce our cost per lead (CPL) by 20% using UpLead.
  • Using their intent data we can now actively market to warm leads.
