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; Sell.Do no pricing is published, and the quote stacks a per-user fee with usage-billed AI, WhatsApp, SMS and telephony volumes, so the monthly bill is variable and hard to budget in advance.
  • They diverge on capability: Apollo.io covers Contact database, Sell.Do covers Lead aggregation.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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
  • 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
  • Running out of credits means buying more rather than waiting for a reset

Sell.Do

  • No pricing is published, and the quote stacks a per-user fee with usage-billed AI, WhatsApp, SMS and telephony volumes, so the monthly bill is variable and hard to budget in advance.
  • The five-user minimum means small brokerages pay for seats they do not use.
  • Aurum PropTech now holds a majority stake of roughly 84 per cent, so product direction serves a listed parent with a wide proptech portfolio, and buyers should get roadmap and data-portability commitments in writing.
  • The product is written around Indian property practice, portals and payment structures, so it has little application outside India and no meaningful presence in other markets.
  • Deep configuration of inventory, price lists and approval workflow is required before go-live, so implementation is measured in weeks and depends on vendor availability rather than self-service setup.
