A better alternative than Apollo.io

For the work after a contact says yes, yes. Apollo is strongest as a prospecting database, sequencer, and dialer. Laureo handles pipeline, marketing, support, quoting, invoicing, payments, and five built-in agents. Many teams keep a sourcing tool and move the rest onto Laureo. The one thing Apollo bundles that Laureo does not is a native dialer.

No. Apollo bundles a large B2B prospecting database; Laureo does not try to match it. Laureo includes enrichment on every plan to fill in titles, company details, and social profiles on records you already have.

Apollo prices per seat on every tier, with a 3-seat minimum on its top tier, and meters email and phone credits that expire monthly, so bills run above sticker. Laureo includes users in the plan, meters nothing by credit, and one price covers quoting, invoicing, support, marketing, and the AI agents.

No. Apollo runs 1:1 outbound sequences, not broadcast campaigns with A/B testing and segmentation. Laureo ships both on the same engine.

No. Laureo offers calling as a paid add-on instead of shipping a bundled dialer, so Apollo leads here. Laureo handles everything around the call: logging, follow-up, scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and support after the deal closes.

Laureo is an AI-first CRM that cuts manual data entry. Email syncs both ways, calendar events sync on their own, and meeting notes attach to the right record, so there is almost nothing to log. On top of that, five built-in agents work in the background to flag deals that have gone quiet, clean up duplicate data, chase overdue invoices, draft your inbox replies, and write your morning brief. It all comes with the CRM, email campaigns, automation, and invoicing in one plan from $83.33/mo billed annually.

Pro starts at $83.33/mo billed annually ($99.99 month-to-month) for one user. Business is $166.66/mo billed annually for two users, and Ultra is $249.99/mo billed annually for advanced needs. Business and higher include the full toolset apart from the Ultra-only support AI agents; Pro covers the everyday CRM workflow, with seven of the more advanced tools (support, knowledge base, surveys, team chat, goals, deal rooms, and multi-step follow-up sequences) reserved for Business+. Cold Outreach, the dedicated cold-outbound module with its own sending mailboxes and managed ramp, and the autonomous AI resolution agent are exclusive to Ultra, and the embeddable AI Customer Support Agent is a paid add-on available on Ultra. Every plan includes the five built-in agents and a monthly AI usage budget. No per-contact email billing and no per-conversation AI fees.

Yes. Every plan comes with a 14-day trial with full access to every feature, including the AI agents, email campaigns, support tickets, and invoicing.

Yes. Laureo imports from a CSV with smart field mapping for contacts, companies, deals, and activities, with presets for 25+ common CRMs. Most migrations finish in under an hour, and there are step-by-step guides for HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive.

Laureo is built for teams of 1 to 50. Pro fits freelancers and solo operators, while Business and Ultra add seats, shared pipelines, role-based permissions, and team chat as you grow.

Yes. Laureo syncs email both ways with Gmail and Outlook, so messages log to the right contact and deal automatically. Calendar events and meeting notes sync too, with no manual entry.
