The short version

  • Only Apollo.io has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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; Chatwork no pricing figures or plan names are shown on the vendor's own homepage; only Sign up for free and Get Started buttons are offered, with pricing details requiring further navigation not present on the fetched page

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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
  • Plans described as unlimited are capped in the fair use policy at 10,000 credits a month for non-paying accounts
  • Connecting a mailbox that is not Gmail or Microsoft requires a paid plan
  • How many records can be selected at once varies by tier
  • Running out of credits means buying more rather than waiting for a reset

Chatwork

  • No pricing figures or plan names are shown on the vendor's own homepage; only Sign up for free and Get Started buttons are offered, with pricing details requiring further navigation not present on the fetched page
  • The homepage highlights 256-bit encryption and ISO27001 certification as its main security claims without stating which plan tier includes them
