6 lead databases we’d consider when Apollo doesn’t fit — ranked by editorial score and structured data, not by who pays us the most.

Why people leave
Common reasons we’ve heard for switching off Apollo.
- Data accuracy varies meaningfully by industry and geography — strong in US tech, weaker in EU and non-tech verticals. The 'all-in-one' bet means individual modules (sequencer, dialer) trail specialist tools.
If you’re leaving Apollo, consider
- 018.7 / 10from $149/mo
Try if: Growth teams who want to compose lead-finding workflows from primitives (waterfall enrichment, multi-source data, AI prompts) rather than buy a pre-built database. Steeper learning curve, sharper output.
- 028.4 / 10Enterprise
Try if: Mid-market and enterprise sales teams targeting EU/UK markets. The GDPR-compliant data is the moat — built into the product rather than bolted on.
- 038.3 / 10Enterprise
Try if: Enterprise lead-data for sales orgs above 50 reps where data depth (intent signals, technographics, account hierarchy) and Salesforce-native integration matter more than entry-tier cost.
- 047.8 / 10from $49/mo
Try if: Email-finder tool with a clean Chrome extension and free tier that covers low-volume use. Right pick when you need occasional contact lookups, not a full lead database.
- 057.7 / 10from $36/mo
Try if: Phone-number-first lead data for SDRs whose outbound motion includes cold calling. The mobile-number coverage is the differentiator; the email side is acceptable but not category-leading.
- 06from $99/mo
