The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Apollo.io everything is metered in credits, and the free Starter plan runs on them too, so prospecting volume is capped rather than the feature set; Appointy free tier caps at 1 staff, 5 services and 100 appointments per month (Internet Archive capture, 3 March 2024)
  • They diverge on capability: Apollo.io covers Contact database, Appointy covers Online booking.
