Is Apollo.io the same as an AI SDR?

No. Apollo is a data platform — it gives you contact lists, enrichment, and an AI writing assistant. You still build sequences, upload lists, warm up mailboxes, and manually manage outreach cadence. Repilot is an AI SDR: it sources signal-qualified leads, writes personalized emails, sends, follows up, and handles replies — fully autonomously.

How does Repilot's pricing compare to Apollo at team scale?

A 10-person Apollo deployment at $134/seat/mo costs roughly $16,080/year before annual discounts. Repilot is $299/month — $3,588/year — with no seat limits. Even a 5-person team at $74/seat averages $4,440/year with less AI capability. Repilot at $299/mo flat is 2-5x cheaper at every team size.

What does Apollo have that Repilot doesn't?

Apollo has a massive B2B contact database (250M+ contacts) that you can manually search and export. If your team is highly ops-driven and wants to build custom outreach lists from scratch with AI writing assistance, Apollo's database is valuable. Repilot doesn't replace a data enrichment tool — it replaces the ops team needed to run it.

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
