Kavex vs Apollo

Apollo is a database — a snapshot. Kavex scrapes live, every run.

Positioning

Apollo sells access to a 275M-contact database, and a database is a snapshot of the day it was built. People change jobs, companies fold, and B2B contact data decays fast — so part of any Apollo export is stale before you send it. Kavex scrapes Google Maps live at run time: every row reflects what's there today. And you pay per result you actually use, not a monthly seat you may not.

Where Kavex is stronger

Things we do that Apollo doesn't — or does less well.

Pay-as-you-go — no commitment, no monthly minimum, credits never expire.
Real-time scraping always returns today's Google Maps data, not last quarter's database.
No subscription means you can run a task once a month if that's all you need.
Advanced filters (rating, reviews, has-photos) work directly on real-time scraped data.

Where Apollo is stronger

Things they do that we don't — or that they do longer/better.

275M+ pre-indexed contacts — instant volume Kavex can't match for huge SDR teams.
Native CRM sync (Salesforce, HubSpot) without CSV juggling.
Sequencing, dialer, meeting scheduler all built-in.
Better fit for teams that need to enrich an existing list of company names.
