What we noted

  • Mobile numbers cost 10 credits each
  • Custom plan needs three licenses
  • CRM sync limited to HubSpot

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only need email verification
  • Phone-heavy prospecting on a small budget

Worth keeping in mind: Credits never expire, and only verified data costs credits: 1 per email, 10 per mobile number.

What each one does differently

Apollo

$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Larger contact database with built-in sequencing.

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

Instantly

$47/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Cold email and warm-up if you already have leads.

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

lemlist

$55/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Multichannel email and LinkedIn sequences without a data credit meter.

Stands out: Creative personalization plus email and LinkedIn in one sequence, with MCP.

Watch out: Higher tiers at $69, $87 and $109 are close to the entry plan, so check which one covers your channels.

Best for

  • Outbound teams that need more than plain-text volume
  • Desks mixing email and LinkedIn
  • Buyers who want a 14-day trial

FullEnrich

$55/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Waterfall enrichment only, if you do not need sequences.

Stands out: Work email, mobile, personal email and reverse lookup on one credit meter, with MCP, API and unlimited users on Pro.

Watch out: A mobile costs 10 credits against 1 for a work email. $55 is the 1,000-credit stop; price rises with volume. Enterprise SSO is an add-on.

Best for

  • GTM teams waterfalling emails and mobiles
  • Builders using the API, Zapier, Make, Clay or n8n
  • Agencies that want unlimited users on one plan
