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

Mantiks

Stands out: Built for job-posting intelligence, not LinkedIn passive sourcing. Agency listings can be excluded so you pitch the employer. Growth ($207/mo) adds bulk exports, recurring reports, CRM/ATS workflows, API, and webhooks.

Watch out: Displayed prices assume a 12-month commitment (about 20% off). A 3-month Discovery term is available, then you move to annual. Extra Starter seats are $37/mo.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need a cancel-anytime month rather than a 12-month commitment
  • Sourcers hunting passive GitHub talent rather than companies that just posted

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

Mantiks

  • Published Starter at $108/mo with 500 credits and contact data
  • Hiring-intent jobs plus contacts, with agency ads filterable out
  • Growth adds API, webhooks, and recurring reports
  • Prices exclude tax and the headline rate needs a 12-month commitment
  • A 12-month commitment is how the $108 price is framed
  • Credits and seats both meter. Quiet months still bill the seat
