Apollo

$49/mo Free tier Free trial

All-in-one B2B database plus sequencer, with a free tier and paid plans from around $49/mo.

Consumers of the Apollo graph via MCP or API

Where they pull apart

Apollo

Stands out: A large people database plus email sequences in one login, with MCP and a Chrome extension.

Watch out: Data quality varies by segment, and it does not match enterprise tools for intent data and org charts.

Not the right fit for

Buyers who need enterprise-class intent and org charts
Teams that want an ATS

Bloobirds

Stands out: Playbooks tell the rep the next call, mail, LinkedIn step, or WhatsApp touch, then write the activity back to Salesforce or Dynamics instead of replacing the CRM.

Watch out: Pricing is demo-led. Capterra has a single review, so there is no meaningful public score. Solo reps and teams without Salesforce or Dynamics are a poor fit.

Not the right fit for

US SMBs that need a printed monthly seat they can buy on a card
Teams with no Salesforce or Dynamics licence to overlay

Pros and cons

Apollo

Free tier, then a roughly $49/mo paid start
Database plus sequences in one login
MCP and Chrome extension

Data quality varies by segment
Less depth on intent than enterprise vendors
Credit model needs watching

Bloobirds

Playbook-guided phone, email, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp on one overlay
Writes activity into Salesforce or Dynamics instead of becoming a second CRM
Built for EU outbound teams that already run those CRMs

The vendor does not publish a price
Capterra has only 1 review, so there is no useful public rating
Requires a Salesforce or Dynamics footprint to make sense
