ApolloNo credits. Just meetings.Apollo finds them.
Weezly books them.
Apollo is a great data platform, and this page says so in writing. But its own pricing charges a credit the moment a lead exports, and its own help center says LinkedIn steps are tasks you complete by hand. Weezly picks the lead up at that exact seam: automated LinkedIn sequences, a video from your AI clone in the DM, a pipeline on the replies, a booking page on the meeting. $59/mo per sender, nothing metered.

"Apollo doesn't automatically complete LinkedIn tasks for you." From Apollo's help center, July 2026. Email steps: genuinely automated, credit where due.
The thread
Sarah, recorded this about Northvolt's SDR ramp. 38 seconds.
Ok this is impressive. How does Thursday afternoon look?
Same lead, same night. On the left, LinkedIn is a to-do list. On the right it is a delivery: your clone's video in the DM at 2:14 AM, the reply read by AI, the meeting on the calendar.
The category leader. And the product ends at the export.
Credit where due, and there is a lot of it: 240M+ contacts with 65+ filters, direct-dial mobiles, Bombora intent, a dialer with conversation intelligence, a whole inbound suite, mature automated email, a real free tier, 600,000+ companies, G2 4.7 from about 9,300 reviews. Apollo's own homepage lists what it replaces: your data provider, outreach platform, dialer, enrichment and CRM. Read that list again. LinkedIn is not on it.
Their live homepage, captured July 2026. "Build pipeline smarter, close deals faster." All true, and all about data and email.
"You consume export credits whenever you export a contact outside of Apollo."
Unlimited email credits are "the lesser of $ Paid / $0.025or 1 Million credits per account per year".
Per their public site, pricing and help center, July 2026. "Not advertised" where absence cannot be proven. Their Chrome extension does work on LinkedIn for research and push-to-sequence, and their Meetings scheduler is real: both credited in the table below.
Everything after the export.
Apollo's pricing charges when the lead leaves. Weezly is where the lead was going: six parts, one subscription, all illustrated below with live coded scenes and real app screenshots.

Zoom into the DM. Look at the payload.
The hero showed the handoff. This is what each pipeline actually puts in front of Sarah, dissected.
Hi Sarah, I saw {{company}} is growing the sales team. We help companies like yours book more meetings. Do you have 15 minutes this week?
Not a straw man: it is what manual LinkedIn tasks produce at scale, on any platform.
68% of these get watched. 2.7x the reply rate of text. The lead presses play inside LinkedIn.
One recording. A unique video for every lead.
Face and voice cloned from one two-minute take, rendered per lead in 25 languages, uploaded into the DM by the sequence. Apollo has no video product of any kind, and that is simply a different business, not a flaw. It is also the whole last mile.
You record two minutes once, or skip the camera entirely. The clone carries your face and voice into every video the sequence sends, in 25 languages.
A database with no meter on the door.
Their data is deep and this page credits it. The difference is the model: theirs charges a credit when a lead exports, ours verifies at search time and pushes straight into a campaign, included in the $59.
Apollo says 240M+ contactsWith 30M+ companies, 65+ filters, direct-dial mobiles, technographics and Bombora intent. Deeper data than ours in several dimensions, said plainly.
Metered by creditsWeezly ships 300M+ contactsIncluded in the $59, emails verified at the moment you search, straight into a LinkedIn campaign in the same tab. Built for outbound, not for warehousing.
Nothing meteredWe will not adjudicate whose count is bigger, both are vendor numbers. The difference you can verify in an afternoon is the meter.
Replies become a pipeline, not a list.
The real Unibox where every sender's LinkedIn replies land, the AI that reads them, and the database riding along in your pocket.
The database rides along: search it, verify it, push it to a campaign from your pocket. And the AI pings you when a reply turns positive.
Built to send, not to remind.
Sender rotation, SSI-derived limits, cloud sending, and the honest channels row: email is Apollo's win today, LinkedIn is where Weezly lives.
One campaign rotates across your accounts. Apollo's unit is a seat, ours is a LinkedIn sender.
Daily caps derived from each account's Social Selling Index, applied in one click. Not a spreadsheet of guesses.
Apollo's email sequencing is mature and automated, and the table below marks it as their win.

WaalaxyAll inside Weezly OutreachSame $59 on the sticker. Very different box.
Apollo Basic is $59 per user per month. A Weezly sender is $59 per month. That is where the resemblance ends.
Apollotheir published pricing, July 2026Per user. Credits expire monthly, no rollover, overage $0.20/credit with a 250 minimum. Accounts differ between their legacy and new credit systems. Check their pricing, it changes.
Weezly Nothing meteredFlat. No email credits, no mobile credits, no export credits. The lead never costs extra to leave, because it never has to leave.
"Credits expiring every billing cycle with no rollover. If you run out mid-month, you're buying overage credits at $0.20 each with a 250-credit minimum."
"After debouncing, the data quality is an issue, around 40-45% of the data ends up getting deleted."
"By month four, the effective monthly cost is no longer the marketed price. Active teams routinely reach $150-400 per user per month."
For proportion: Apollo holds a 4.7/5 on G2 from roughly 9,300 reviews, won a G2 2026 Best Software award, and is used by 600,000+ companies. Its Trustpilot sits at 2.9/5, dominated by billing and support reports from individual users. Both numbers are real. The structural point is neither: the meter and the manual LinkedIn tasks are the product design, and they are the two things a conversion layer cannot live with.
The fair fight, losses included.
Apollo wins five rows on this page outright, and the database row is a tie on purpose. A comparison against the category leader only works if it reads fair. Look at what each subscription is actually for.

Apollo capabilities from their published site, pricing and help center plus independent reviews, July 2026. "Not advertised" means exactly that, we could not find it on their public pages. Database counts are both vendor claims, presented without adjudication. No automation makes LinkedIn ToS risk zero, Weezly included.
