  • 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; Payoneer an annual account fee of $29.95 USD applies if the account receives less than $6,000 USD in any 12 consecutive months
  • They diverge on capability: Apollo.io covers Contact database, Payoneer covers Receive payments.
