The short answer

Apollo : Contact database with sequences and a Chrome extension, priced per seat with export credits rather than unmetered reveals. From $49/mo
Instantly : High-volume cold email with warmup and a unified inbox, where the lead database is a separately priced add-on. From $47/mo
LeadOcean : API-only access to a 693M-profile dataset with no sequencer, if you only need the data for your own tools or agents. From $97/mo

Why people look past ReachHQ

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.

What we noted

Phone enrichment only on the $299/mo plan
Fair-use limits on saved leads, exports and verifications
Pricing page unclear on which plans get API and MCP

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

Worth keeping in mind: 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.

What each one does differently

Apollo

$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Contact database with sequences and a Chrome extension, priced per seat with export credits rather than unmetered reveals.

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

Instantly

$47/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: High-volume cold email with warmup and a unified inbox, where the lead database is a separately priced add-on.

Stands out: Warmup, unibox, and volume send with hosted MCP and a public API, plus an AI Recruiting Agent that finds candidates from a job link and emails them.

Watch out: Deliverability still depends on your domains and inboxes, not the tool alone.

Best for

Outbound recruiting teams sending at volume
Agencies running many sending accounts
Desks that need warmup plus a unibox

LeadOcean

$97/mo Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: API-only access to a 693M-profile dataset with no sequencer, if you only need the data for your own tools or agents.

Stands out: The pricing model: instead of buying credits per contact, you pay for a pace, and reaching it slows requests rather than cutting you off, so a Solo plan can enrich up to 50,000 people a week for $97. Phone numbers and CSV export are included on every paid plan, and the MCP server signs in with your account instead of a pasted key.

Watch out: It is an API and agent tool set, not an app with a search screen, sequences or a Chrome extension, so non-technical recruiters will need Claude, ChatGPT, Clay or a workflow tool in front of it. The 1,000 free records are one-off, signup needs a work email, and the company is young with no outside reviews yet.

Best for

Recruiters and sourcers who run searches through Claude or ChatGPT
Agencies enriching large candidate or lead lists without per-contact fees
RevOps and GTM engineers feeding a warehouse or CRM from scripts
