Apollo offers a free forever plan with limited credits and basic features. You get access to the B2B database, two active sequences, and the Chrome extension.

Apollo has a clean interface and the basic settings required to get started are straightforward. Most users can sign up, connect their email, and start searching for prospects within minutes. The platform also has pre built templates for sequences and workflows so you don&#8217;t need to build everything from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">What are the benefits of using Apollo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apollo consolidates your entire sales tech stack into one platform.

Companies using Apollo have seen a 3x increase in reply rates and a 50% reduction in time spent on prospecting. It enables targeted outreach and personalized engagement at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">How to use Apollo to get clients?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by defining your ideal customer profile with specific criteria like industry, company size, and job title.

Effective follow-up is crucial for converting leads into customers, and Apollo makes that process automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">What do people use Apollo for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sales teams use Apollo for lead generation, cold outreach, and deal management. Marketing managers use it to build targeted lists for account-based campaigns. Sales professionals use it to find phone numbers and send emails to potential customers. It&#8217;s also used for sales coaching through call recordings and AI-powered insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Is Apollo really free?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apollo has a genuinely free plan with no time limit. However, the free tier comes with strict credit limits \u2014 about 5 mobile credits and 10 export credits per month. For serious sales outreach, you&#8217;ll need a paid plan. The Basic plan at $49\/month is the most popular starting point for sales teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@graph\": [\n
