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; Chorus.ai the Internet Archive's capture of Chorus.ai's homepage on 28 December 2019 named distinct product modules (Analytics, Mobile, Salesforce Integration, Zoom Integration, Permissions) but the product is sold only through a 'Request a Demo' flow with no price figure published; it has since been acquired by ZoomInfo.
  • They diverge on capability: Apollo.io covers Contact database, Chorus.ai covers Call recording.

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

Chorus.ai

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Chorus.ai's homepage on 28 December 2019 named distinct product modules (Analytics, Mobile, Salesforce Integration, Zoom Integration, Permissions) but the product is sold only through a 'Request a Demo' flow with no price figure published; it has since been acquired by ZoomInfo.
