Which one is for you
Pick Apollo.io if
- Fits if you want to find people and email them from the same account
- Works for founders trying outbound on a free plan with 2 sequences and 250 emails a day
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you call a lot, since each phone number eats 8 credits
- Tight if your usage is lumpy, as unused credits expire at the end of each cycle
- Not for you if you want some reps on cheaper seats, since every seat must be on the same plan and Organization needs 3
- Watch out: downgrades take effect at once with no refund, and annual plans can't move to monthly mid-term
- Pricey if you want inbound visitor identification, at $119 to $639 a team a month on top of a plan, billed yearly
Pick Evaboot if
- Fits if you already pay for Sales Navigator and want emails attached to the lists you build
- Works for teams that share one credit balance, as seats are unlimited
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you have no Sales Navigator seat, because it only exports your own searches
- Tight if you want to try before paying, as there is no free plan or trial
- Not for you if you need phone numbers, as the FAQ sends you to another product for those
- Watch out: a lead with no email found still costs 1 credit, and a yearly plan cannot be cancelled before its term ends
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAApollo.ioFair | 2.2GPAEvabootFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$245 a month for five on Basic, billed yearly: $49 a seat, right at this category's dearer quarter ($49). That buys 30,000 credits a seat a year, about 2,500 a month each, pooled, at 1 credit an email and 8 a phone number. | B$9 a month for 100 credits is under the $33.25 the cheaper quarter of lead finders charges, but 100 credits is 100 leads, and Sales Navigator is a separate bill. $29 buys 400 and $49 buys 1,000. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free plan for good with 900 credits a seat a year, 2 sequences and 250 emails a day, plus a 14-day trial of the paid plans. But 900 a year is 75 a month, a cap you'll hit if you prospect every day. | FThe pricing page states no free trial and there is no free plan. |
| Features | BAbout 240 million contacts with emails and phone numbers, waterfall enrichment, unlimited sequences, a dialer, call recording and a Chrome extension. It covers the whole job, and the outreach after it. | CExports up to 2,500 leads per search, looks up and verifies emails, and enriches LinkedIn URLs. It needs a Sales Navigator seat and its FAQ says it finds no phone numbers. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. It's a big web app with a database, sequences, mailboxes and a dialer, so expect a learning curve before it pays off. | BNo store rating on record. It is an extension that adds an export button inside Sales Navigator, so there is little to set up beyond your own account. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and a Chrome extension that works on LinkedIn, Gmail and CRMs, with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Outreach, Salesloft and Slack. No desktop or phone apps on record. | BChrome extension and web app, with pushes to HubSpot, Pipedrive, Apollo, lemlist, Instantly and Clay, plus an API and an MCP connection.

- Revealing a verified email costs 1 credit and a phone number 8. Credits are pooled across the team, reset each billing cycle and do not roll over.
- Email sequences
- Multi-step outreach from connected mailboxes. The free plan allows 2 sequences and 250 emails a day; paid plans add unlimited sequences and any email provider.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
