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

Nymeria

Stands out: Failed lookups skip the credit charge, and paid plans include unlimited team members plus a public REST API.

Watch out: Kilo jumps to $159/mo, and above 1,000 matches a month you move to a committed-volume rate. Unused credits never roll on monthly or annual plans.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need more than 1,000 matches a month on a self-serve plan
  • Buyers who need unused credits to roll each month
