Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.
Starting price
$49/mo Free tier Free trial
All-in-one B2B database plus sequencer, with a free tier and paid plans from around $49/mo.
Where Apollo fits
$29/mo Free tier
B2B contact database with a free plan and paid plans from $29/mo billed annually ($39 monthly) for 5,000 exports a month, where browsing profiles and emails costs nothing and credits are spent only on export. Paid plans add direct dials and NPI numbers for US healthcare providers. A lower-cost Apollo or Lusha alternative for recruiters who need contact lists, not a built-in sequencer.

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
ReachStream
Stands out: Viewing contacts, companies and, on paid plans, emails does not use credits, so recruiters can research a whole target account before paying for anything. Contact records can include NPI numbers, the US national provider ID for clinicians, which is rare in a general B2B database and useful for healthcare recruiting.
Watch out: The free plan hides job title, company name and industry in contact details, so it is only good for testing. Unused credits reset each month, the advanced ReachAPI starts on the $49 Pro plan, and the Email Verifier is a separate product still labelled beta with its own price. The vendor's email finder and outreach tools are listed as coming soon, so there is no sequencing today.
