Apollo vs Mailmeteor

Apollo is a data intelligence and sales engagement platform for go-to-market teams. It describes a prospecting database with more than 240 million contacts and 30 million accounts, alongside email sequencing, automated outreach, dialing, call recording and pipeline tools. Apollo’s agents can research accounts, prioritize leads, write outreach, follow up and book meetings. The platform lists more than 200 integrations, including Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, SalesLoft, Marketo, Sendgrid, LinkedIn and major email providers. Its free Chrome extension provides contact and account insights, email finding and dialing, and can add prospects to lists or sequences. The Free plan is free and includes 900 credits per seat per year, granted monthly, two sequences, API access and one intent topic. Basic costs $49 a month billed annually, with 30,000 credits per seat per year granted upfront, email sequencing and core integrations. Trial credits and features are subject to limits; unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle.

Mailmeteor runs personalized email campaigns and helps manage replies from Gmail, Outlook, and other tools. Mail merges can start from Gmail, Outlook, Excel, Google Sheets, or Google Docs. Campaign features include tracking, scheduling, templates, attachments, audience segmentation, unsubscribe management, and conditional follow-ups. Its AI assistant sorts emails, drafts replies in the user’s tone, and rewrites, improves, or shortens messages, but the assistant is currently available only for Gmail. Mailmeteor connects with Zapier and Google Sheets automations, and sent messages can be logged in Salesforce or HubSpot through a CRM BCC address. The free Hobby plan includes 500 emails per month. Paid plans start at $5.99 per user per month, with listed daily and monthly limits by tier. Mailmeteor says it requests only essential sending permissions and keeps customer data in the Google Spreadsheet by design.
