Get 8 Premium Data Vendors in One Plan

Own database, add-ons priced separately

Apollo’s own databaseThe single source behind a standard search Included

Third-party data vendorsContracted and billed outside the plan Extra cost

Email verificationCharged on top of the reveal, no catch-all Extra cost

Reaching beyond the native database means another subscription, another contract and a second bill to reconcile.

04Database size

05Real-time verification

Get Emails Verified the Second You Export

An address checked last quarter is a bounce waiting to happen — and bounces cost you the domain, not just the send.

Periodic refresh

1 month ago

last verified — alex.morgan@google.com

Bounced

The export still reads as valid. The bounce appears in your sending stats a week later, after it has cost a sequence slot and a slice of domain reputation.

Checked at export

Real-time verification included

3 seconds ago

last verified — alex.morgan@microsoft.com

Delivered

The job change is caught before the record leaves the platform, so the rep works from the address that is live today.

06Catch-all verification

Get the 37% of Contacts Other Tools Drop

Catch-all domains accept mail to any address, so a standard check can never confirm the mailbox. Most tools call that risky and quietly leave the contact out — and it happens most at the largest companies on your list.
