A fresher Apollo.io alternative — built on live websites, not a stale database
Apollo sells you contacts scraped 18 months ago and matched against LinkedIn. We crawl each business's live website when you ask, so you get owner names, direct emails, services, and pricing as fresh as their site. Same job, 1/5 the price, and it works on the local SMBs Apollo misses.
- Live website crawl — no stale database, no 6-18 month decay
- $29/month for 1,000 leads vs. Apollo's $49/user with export caps
- Pulls owner / manager direct emails Apollo doesn't have
- Free tier with 50 leads/month, no credit card required

FAQ
How is Extractly different from Apollo?
Apollo sells access to a static database of ~275M contacts, scraped historically and matched against LinkedIn. We don't store a database — we crawl the live website of each business when you ask for it. That means our data is as fresh as their site (last week, last month) instead of as old as Apollo's last refresh (often 6–18 months). The trade-off: Apollo wins for enterprise B2B contacts. We win for local services, SMBs, and any business whose owner is named on their own website.
Is Extractly cheaper than Apollo?
Yes, by 5–20×. Apollo's basic paid plan starts at $49/user/month and caps exports. Our Pro plan is $29/month for 1,000 leads, Growth is $79 for 4,000, Business is $249 for 15,000. There's a free tier with 50 leads/month — no credit card. You also get the website-deep-crawl data (services, pricing, owner bio) that Apollo doesn't ship.
Can I replace my Apollo subscription with this?
For most SMB-targeted use cases — local services, agencies serving small businesses, vertical SaaS for clinics or restaurants — yes. If you're prospecting Fortune 500 buying committees, Apollo's people-data graph is still stronger because those contacts aren't named on company websites; they live on LinkedIn. We're the better fit when the business owner's name and email are on a public 'About' or 'Team' page.
Does it integrate with my CRM the way Apollo does?
We export to CSV and JSON with consistent column names, which imports cleanly into HubSpot, Pipedrive, Close, Salesforce, and Attio. We don't have one-click CRM sync today — but the CSV import gets the same job done in about 90 seconds.
What about email verification?
We extract emails directly from the company's published site. When the owner publishes sarah@clinic.com on their About page, it's a real address — verification rates are typically 90%+. For generic info@ addresses, we label them as such so you don't waste outreach on a shared inbox.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The free tier gives you 50 leads per month with no credit card. That's enough to test the data quality against a sample of your Apollo list before you switch.
