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; SAP Concur listed on UK G-Cloud 14 at £0.21 to £9.70 per unit for SAP Concur Travel & Expense Professional Edition, submitted directly by SAP Concur, with the unit and billing period not further defined on the listing
  • They diverge on capability: Apollo.io covers Contact database, SAP Concur covers Expense management.
