Apollo.io vs ClientPoint
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.
