Why Persana is better than Apollo for your Sales Team and GTM Process
Persana helps you build specific and sophisticated outbound workflows tailored to your Company. Add your favorite tools and integrations to automate the process. This way your outbound machine is not tied to 1 single tool.
Best Lead Quality in the Market
Apollo has only 1 database of leads which isn't updated regularly which can limit your outbound efforts. Some users reported Apollo emails bounce rate is very high making it risky for your campaigns.
Persana has 75+ top data providers for maximum data coverage at an affordable price.
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 modern sales and GTM teams.
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 tedious to export and import the csv files wasting your precious time.
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. You get maximum lead coverage with less cost for you.
Apollo doesn’t have email waterfall, meaning you’re stuck with their limited database and less comprehensive results.
What should you choose?
While Apollo is a robust tool with a large database and solid sales features, Persana stands out with its AI-powered research agent, best-in-class lead quality, automated sales triggers like job changes and social engagement, and seamless integration with 30+ tools.
Persana offers superior email accuracy with its unique email waterfall feature, pre-built sales playbooks, and custom intent scoring. Plus, its HTTP API and webhooks allow for fast external data enrichment, giving you an edge in both outbound and inbound campaigns.
