HOW THEY DIFFER

The short version.

On our benchmark Apollo.io takes the higher SDR Score (79 to 69) — but that headline hides where each one really pulls ahead.

On channels, Apollo.io is wider — 3 of 4 versus 2. If the channel your buyers answer on isn't covered, the rest barely matters.

On price, Apollo.io starts lower — $49/user/mo against from $899/mo — though the cheaper sticker isn't always the better deal once you factor in how hands-off each one is.

So Apollo.io suits smb/mid-market/agency/startup teams; Coldreach leans toward mid-market/smb.
