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; Lessonly lessonly is now marketed as Lessonly by Seismic, and its former pricing page redirects to a demo request with no plan prices shown, gating cost behind a sales conversation
  • They diverge on capability: Apollo.io covers Contact database, Lessonly covers Lesson builder.
