The short answer

  • Apollo : Apollo gives you a large contact database to search and sequence yourself, with a free plan and paid seats from $49 a user a month instead of credits per researched account. From $49/user/mo
  • Clay : Clay is a toolkit for building your own enrichment workflows from many data providers, from $185 a month, with no built-in LinkedIn outreach. From $185/mo
  • Amplemarket : Amplemarket is an all-in-one outbound platform with intent signals and sequencing from $600 a month, built for larger sales teams. From $600/mo

Why people look past Leadpoet

Credits go fast: Launch's 200 credits cover up to 20 verified accounts a month, and watching an account uses 2 credits every week even when nothing new turns up. Paid plans include only one or two contacts per account, so it suits targeted account work more than bulk list building.

What we noted

  • Few verified accounts per credit plan
  • Watched accounts use credits weekly
  • One or two contacts per account

Not the right fit for

  • Bulk contact list exports
  • Teams needing many contacts per account
  • Phone-first outbound

Worth keeping in mind: Outreach, signal alerts and an MCP server all work on the Free plan, so you only pay for the researched accounts themselves. Every signal alert links to where it was published, and the AI sales agent proposes next steps that run only after you approve them.

What each one does differently

Apollo

$49/user/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Apollo gives you a large contact database to search and sequence yourself, with a free plan and paid seats from $49 a user a month instead of credits per researched account.

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.

Best for

  • Outbound recruiting and sales on one database
  • Teams that want free-tier access to start
  • Desks that need sequences next to the data

4.5 on Capterra from 398 reviews

Clay

$185/mo Free tier 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Clay is a toolkit for building your own enrichment workflows from many data providers, from $185 a month, with no built-in LinkedIn outreach.

Stands out: 150+ provider waterfall plus Claygent on every row, with MCP and API.

Watch out: Not a sender. Paid plans start at $185/mo on Launch, CRM sync needs Growth from $495/mo, and credit burn adds up.

Best for

  • Sourcers building enriched spreadsheets
  • Teams chaining many data vendors
  • Desks that want Claygent research columns

Amplemarket

$600/mo Free trial MCP

Why it comes up: Amplemarket is an all-in-one outbound platform with intent signals and sequencing from $600 a month, built for larger sales teams.

Stands out: Contact data plus intent plus sequences plus a first-party MCP (Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, Zapier, Clay named): one login instead of six.

Watch out: $600/mo annual is 2 users. Additional users cost extra. This is not a $29 Instantly alternative.

Best for

  • Outbound teams that want data and send in one platform
  • Salesforce or HubSpot shops
  • Buyers who want a trial before $600
