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

ReachHQ

Stands out: Reveals are unmetered on paid plans, so a recruiter can pull 500 or 50,000 candidate emails on the same $99 bill, and the sequencer, warmup and deliverability health score are included rather than sold as separate tools. It has a page and workflow aimed at recruiters reaching candidates by email instead of InMail.

Watch out: Phone numbers only come on the $299/mo Scale plan, and saved leads, exports and verifications have fair-use limits rather than being truly unlimited. Its pricing page contradicts itself on whether the API and MCP server are on every plan or only Scale, so confirm before buying for that. A new product with no outside reviews yet.

Not the right fit for

Teams that need phone numbers on a budget plan
Users who want LinkedIn sequences alongside email
Buyers who need an established vendor with reviews
