Apollo vs Overloop

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

Apollo

$49/user/mo Free tier Free trial

All-in-one B2B database plus sequencer, with a free plan and paid plans from $49 per seat a month billed annually.

Where Apollo fits

  • Outbound recruiting and sales on one database
  • Teams that want free-tier access to start
  • Desks that need sequences next to the data
  • Consumers of the Apollo graph via MCP or API

Overloop

$69/user/mo 7 day free trial

Overloop is an AI sales prospecting platform: it builds lead lists from a 450M+ contact database, spots buying signals, drafts personal first messages and runs email plus LinkedIn sequences. Starter is $69 per user a month and Growth, which adds CRM sync and the API, is $99. For recruiters it fits agency business development rather than candidate sourcing.

Where Overloop fits

  • Agency recruiters doing business development to win new clients
  • Small teams that want contact data and sequences in one tool
  • Desks that prospect on LinkedIn and email in the same campaign
  • HubSpot or Pipedrive users who want outbound synced to the CRM

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

Overloop

Stands out: It puts the contact database, buying signals, AI message drafting and email plus LinkedIn sequencing in one seat, so an agency desk can find hiring companies and reach the decision maker without stitching a data tool to a sequencer. Messages wait for your approval before anything goes out.

Watch out: Credits are tight at 250 a month on Starter and 500 on Growth, and a phone number costs 5 of them. CRM sync is gated: none on Starter, HubSpot and Pipedrive on Growth, Salesforce only on Enterprise. Overloop was acquired by Sortlist, an agency marketplace, and still runs an older Classic app beside the new Overloop AI app.

Not the right fit for

  • Candidate sourcing at volume, since it is built for B2B buyers
  • Salesforce shops that do not want an Enterprise contract
  • Teams that need thousands of enrichment credits a month

Pros and cons

Apollo

  • Free plan, then Basic at $49 per seat a month billed annually

Overloop

  • Buying signals give each message a reason to send now
  • REST API and HubSpot or Pipedrive sync on Growth
  • Low monthly credit allowance
  • Salesforce sync only on Enterprise
  • Per-user billing grows with every rep
