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; ClientPoint pricing page shows no plan tiers or figures; every path leads to Talk with Someone Now or Schedule Demo, so price is available only by contacting sales
  • They diverge on capability: Apollo.io covers Contact database, ClientPoint covers Multimedia proposals.

  • 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

ClientPoint

  • Pricing page shows no plan tiers or figures; every path leads to Talk with Someone Now or Schedule Demo, so price is available only by contacting sales
