Our take

Apollo's superpower is bundling prospecting + sequences + enrichment in one seat. For early-stage SaaS where you can't afford ZoomInfo + Outreach separately, it's the obvious pick. Quality of European phone data has improved in 2025 but still trails Cognism. AI email assistant is acceptable but won't replace a real Lavender pass.

Who it's for: SDR teams 2-25 reps at Series A-B. Founders running outbound themselves.
