Kavex vs Apollo

Apollo charges $79+/seat/month for their B2B database. Kavex scrapes the same data fresh at $0.005/lead. Honest comparison.

Apollo sells access to a 275-million-contact database on a per-seat subscription. Every database has the same flaw: decay. B2B records go stale fast — people change jobs, companies fold — so a real share of what you export was accurate months ago, not today. And per-seat pricing means a 5-person team pays five times over.

Kavex keeps no database. Every scrape pulls live from public sources (LinkedIn, Google Maps, websites), so what you get today actually exists today — no seat fees, no annual contract, pay per result.

Pricing summary

Apollo Basic: $59/seat/month. Pro: $99/seat/month. Organization: $149/seat/month. Each plan caps export rows. Kavex: no monthly fee, no per-seat fee, $0.001-0.005 per lead.

Where Kavex wins
  • Live data — every scrape is fresh (Apollo database lags 1-12 months)
  • No per-seat fee — invite your whole team to one Kavex account
  • Cheaper for any team under ~5 seats at typical volumes
  • Includes Google Maps (local-business leads) which Apollo doesn't cover
  • AI email personalisation built into the same flow
Where Apollo wins
  • Massive pre-built B2B contact database — instant search without scraping
  • Phone numbers (mobile direct dials) at scale
  • Bombora-licensed "buying intent" topics by company
  • Established CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot bidirectional)
  • Sequence/cadence tooling (cold-email sender) — Kavex stops at data export
