Feature-by-feature comparison
Verdict
Apollo wins for enterprise B2B sales teams that need direct contact information (emails, phone numbers) and built-in outreach tools. Its 275M contact database and firmographic data are unmatched for high-volume SDR workflows. Scavio wins for local lead generation (Google Maps businesses), real-time enrichment signals (job postings, news, reviews), and teams that need custom enrichment logic beyond what a static database provides. Many teams use both: Apollo for contact data and Scavio for real-time intelligence layered on top.
Consider Scavio instead
Scavio complements Apollo by adding real-time search intelligence. Use Apollo for contact data, then enrich with Scavio's Google search (recent news, job postings) and Google Maps (business details, ratings) at $0.005/credit. The combination produces richer lead profiles than either tool alone.
