Apollo.io vs Datanyze: Cross-Category Comparison

Apollo prices every plan on its own pricing page, down to the credits each seat gets for the year. Datanyze's website answered HTTP 403 to every request made for this comparison, plain and through a headless browser, so its prices could not be read at all. That asymmetry shapes the whole Apollo vs Datanyze question. One side can be budgeted from a public page today. The other is a Chrome extension whose Chrome Web Store listing names ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. as its publisher, and its price has to come from Datanyze directly.

Apollo vs Datanyze: the short answer

Choose Apollo when one seat has to find people and send to them: its Basic plan is $49 per seat per month billed annually and carries 30,000 credits per seat per year. Consider Datanyze only for looking up emails and phone numbers while browsing LinkedIn profiles and company websites, and get its price from Datanyze, because its own site could not be read here.

Datanyze vs Apollo reads the same in either order. The two meet at one point, a browser extension that shows contact details on the page being browsed, and Apollo's free plan already lists Prospecting, Gmail and Salesforce extensions.

What Each One Is, From Its Own Pages

Apollo.io sells a platform for finding, enriching and contacting people. Its homepage claims 240M+ contacts and 30M+ accounts, and its pricing page meters data through credits: accessing a contact's emails uses 1 credit and accessing a phone number uses 8 credits. The Basic plan card lists Unlimited Sequences, the Deliverability Suite and Email Warmup, Domain and Mailbox Purchasing, and CSV, CRM and API data enrichment.

Datanyze is described by its Chrome Web Store listing as a way to get email addresses, direct dial and mobile numbers directly from LinkedIn profiles and company websites without leaving the browser. The listing claims data on file for over 120 million contacts, including over 84 million email addresses and 48 million direct dial numbers, invites a free trial, and shows 40,000 users and a 3.7 rating from 235 ratings. Its developer is ZoomInfo Technologies Inc., and its contact address is at zoominfo.com.

Datanyze is often described elsewhere as a technographics tool with small monthly credit plans. The listing says nothing about technographics, and the pricing page could not be read, so this page repeats neither claim.

Where Each Sits in a Cold Outbound Run

Apollo covers more of the run than one category label suggests. The same seat that sends the sequence also searches the database, reveals a contact and enriches a CRM record, and every one of those actions draws on the same credit pool per seat. Its pricing FAQ says Apollo integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, Marketo, Sendgrid and LinkedIn, so a team whose sequences already run elsewhere can still use it purely as a data source.

Datanyze covers one moment of the run: a person looking at a profile or a company site who wants the contact details on that page. It does not describe a sending tool, a list builder or a CRM of its own on the listing, and nothing on this page claims it has one.

The run itself has a fixed shape whichever tool feeds it. Build the list, resolve and verify a mailbox for every person on it, then send. RevenueFlow runs one message per campaign, so there are no bump steps and no thread replies scheduled behind the first send. A prospect who does not answer gets re-approached later in a new campaign with a different angle, never with a second message stacked under the one they ignored, and on LinkedIn that second message does not get sent at all.

Reading the reply and booking the meeting sit outside both products. A meeting counts when it matches criteria agreed in writing before launch, which is a commercial decision rather than a feature, and it is the number worth measuring either purchase against.

Pricing Comparison

Apollo.io Pricing

Every paid price above is the per seat per month rate billed annually, and the Organization tier carries a three seat minimum. The same page says trial plans include 100 credits, and that the Basic and Professional cards offer a 14-day trial.

Datanyze Pricing

Datanyze's pricing page could not be read for this comparison. Both www.datanyze.com/pricing and datanyze.com/pricing answered HTTP 403 to a plain request and were refused to a headless browser, and so was the homepage, so no snapshot sits behind any Datanyze figure.

That is a failed fetch, and it says nothing either way about what Datanyze charges. Plan names and prices for it circulate on third-party write-ups, and house policy is not to publish a number that exists only on somebody else's page. The listing invites a free trial: ask Datanyze for the plan, the credit allowance and whether credits reset monthly before budgeting.

What One Year of the Apollo Side Costs

The team below is invented for the arithmetic; the rates are the ones Apollo's pricing page publishes, and the totals are illustrative.

Two Apollo Basic seats billed annually are $98 a month and $1,176 for the year, carrying 60,000 credits across the two seats. At 1 credit per email, that allowance covers 60,000 email reveals; at 8 credits per phone number it covers 7,500 phone numbers, and any mix sits between those two. Two Professional seats are $158 a month and $1,896 a year for 96,000 credits.

The Datanyze line cannot be added, and inventing it would be worse than leaving it blank. Price it once Datanyze quotes, against the one job it does: contact details on the page being browsed. Comparing that quote with Apollo's credit pool would compare a lookup tool with a list-building and sending platform.

When to Choose Which

The choice turns on whether the tool must also send. Apollo's Basic card carries unlimited sequences, so a seat that finds people can mail them from the same place. Datanyze's listing describes looking people up on LinkedIn profiles and company websites, which suits somebody working a short list by hand.

Read that split as a question about which gap is open rather than about which product is better. A team that names the wrong gap buys a capable tool that changes nothing.

Do You Need Both, and in Which Order?

Usually not both. The only place the two overlap is the browser lookup, and Apollo's pricing page puts a Chrome extension on offer while its free plan lists 900 credits per seat per year, granted monthly. A team already paying for Apollo should ask what Datanyze would add before buying it.

The order, where both are bought, puts Apollo first, because it is the line that produces and sends the wave. Datanyze comes second and only if the people doing the looking-up work inside LinkedIn and company sites all day and find its coverage better on their accounts. That is a coverage question, and the only honest way to answer it is a trial on the target segment.

Using Both Together

If both are bought, give each one a job and one owner. Apollo holds the list and the sending; Datanyze fills gaps a rep finds while reading a profile, and those contacts go into Apollo or the CRM before anybody writes to them.

Rolling It Out Without Breaking the Run

Whichever order the two arrive in, keep the sending inventory out of it. Sender domains, mailbox warmup and daily caps are their own project, and a stack change made in the same week as a sending change leaves nothing to attribute a bounce rate to. Change one layer, let a full wave run, then change the next.

Two more habits save real money. Run each trial on accounts already worked rather than on a fresh list, because the only coverage question that matters is coverage on the segment being sold to, and a vendor's own sample is chosen to look good. And export what the incumbent already found before any subscription lapses: contact records bought once are cheap to keep and expensive to buy twice.

The Short Version

Running waves and needing contacts at volume: Apollo, starting from Basic at $49 per seat per month billed annually. Looking people up one page at a time: trial Datanyze's extension and Apollo's side by side on your own accounts, and ask Datanyze for a price in writing, because its site could not be read here. Neither answer changes the one number that matters, which is meetings booked against criteria agreed before launch.
