Feature

Price
$299/mo flat — unlimited seats, all AI features, signal-based outbound included
$54–134/seat/mo — basic plans start at ~$54/seat; AI features and unlimited credits cost $134+/seat
Setup time
Live in under 30 minutes — ICP + SMTP, then it runs itself
2–4 weeks — connect data sources, build sequences, configure AI writer
AI autonomy
Fully autonomous: sources signal-qualified leads, writes personalized emails, sends, follows up
AI writer assists reps — you still build sequences, upload lists, and send manually
Signal detection
Real-time signals: hiring, funding, expansion events trigger outbound automatically
Static database enrichment — no real-time buying signal detection or trigger
Contracts
$299/mo — month-to-month, cancel anytime, no per-seat or annual commitment
$54–134/seat/mo — annual discount available, auto-renewal
Ideal team size
1–30 person teams, founder-led sales, growth-stage startups
5–100 seat sales teams with dedicated ops or sales ops function
Time to first send
Same day — connect SMTP, set ICP, start sending signal-qualified outreach
1–3 weeks — list building, sequence creation, email account warmup
When Apollo makes sense
You want the largest B2B database and don't mind managing outreach manually
  • You have a dedicated ops or sales team who will build lists, write sequences, and manage cadence
  • You need 250M+ contacts for manual outreach campaigns across a large team
  • Your workflow requires tight CRM sync, enrichment workflows, and data export capabilities
When Repilot wins
You want AI to run the entire outbound motion — without managing a data platform
  • You're a 1–30 person team or a solo founder who wants results, not another tool to manage
  • You care more about getting signal-qualified replies than having access to 250M contacts
  • You want flat pricing you can budget for — not per-seat costs that scale with every hire
