Apollo vs port587: key differences
Data scope:
- Apollo - broad B2B database covering every industry, company type, and geography. ~275M contacts across all B2B.
- port587 - SaaS companies only. Every record is a verified B2B SaaS business. No agencies, manufacturers, or ecommerce mixed in.
Pricing:
- Apollo - $49-$119+/month per seat. Annual contract for best rates. Credits system for enrichment.
- port587 - No monthly fee. Pay $0.10 per lead exported. No annual commitment.
Features:
- Apollo - sequencing, CRM, dialer, intent signals, job change alerts, website visitors.
- port587 - data layer only. Search, filter, export. Plug into your existing tools.
Best for:
- Apollo - teams that want an all-in-one platform and sell to many industries.
- port587 - teams that already have outbound tools and need clean SaaS-only data without paying for a bundled platform.
When to choose port587 over Apollo
- Your ICP is 100% B2B SaaS and you're tired of filtering out non-SaaS companies.
- You already use a sequencer (Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist) and don't need Apollo's CRM/sequences.
- You want pay-per-lead instead of a monthly subscription you might underuse.
- You care about SaaS-specific filters - product category, funding stage, go-to-market motion.
When Apollo is the better choice
- You sell to many industries, not just SaaS.
- You want an all-in-one platform - CRM, sequencing, and data in one place.
- You use Apollo's unique features like intent signals, job change alerts, or the dialer.
For teams focused exclusively on B2B SaaS outbound, port587 typically delivers a cleaner list at a lower cost. For teams that need broad B2B coverage and an integrated platform, Apollo remains strong.
