Why Persana is better than Apollo for your Sales and GTM Process

Persana helps you build sophisticated outbound workflows tailored to your Company.
Add your favorite tools and integrations to automate the process.

Best Lead Quality in the Market

Persana has multiple data sources whreas Apollo has only 1 database of leads which isn't updated regularly limiting your outbound efforts.

Some users reported Apollo emails bounce rate is very high making it risky for your campaigns.

Add unlimited team members

With Persana, you can add as many team members as you want on any paid plan—at no extra cost.

Whether your team is 5 people or 50, your pricing stays the same.

Apollo charges extra per seat, meaning the more team members you add, the more expensive it becomes.

Add Your Own API Key

With Persana you can bring in your own API key to save on credits and make data enrichments affordable.

On Apollo you don't have an option to add your API key which makes it expensive and inflexible for your team.

Integrations with your favorite CRM

Persana seamlessly integrates with over 30+ best-in-class tools, including Smartlead, Instantly, BetterContact, Apify, and more. Apollo has limited CRM integrations available making it time consuming to add and export leads.

Expertly Curated Playbooks

Persana offers 10+ proven-to-work Sales playbooks, ready for immediate use in your outbound campaigns.

Apollo lacks the depth and variety of premade playbooks, leaving your team to develop workflows manually.

Email Waterfall Feature

Persana provides a powerful email waterfall feature, giving you access to the most accurate, up-to-date work emails from data providers like Prospeo, Leadmagic, and more.

Why Persana over Apollo?

While Apollo has sold sales tools, Persana stands out with its AI-powered research agent, best-in-class lead quality, automated sales triggers, ability to add unlimited team members and flexible integrations.
