"Apollo gave us thousands of emails, but most weren't a good fit. Dealmayker finds fewer leads, but they're actually relevant and ready to talk."— Tom H., Sales Director
"We were filtering by job titles and missing 70% of our ideal buyers. Dealmayker understands our ICP semantically and finds hidden gems Apollo never showed us."— Maria S., Head of Revenue
"Apollo's intent data was too basic. Dealmayker catches hiring patterns, product launches, and pain point signals that tell us exactly when to reach out."— Kevin P., Founder
Apollo.io is a contact database with 275M+ contacts and outreach tools. Dealmayker is a sales intelligence engine that understands your ICP semantically and automatically finds, qualifies, and monitors the right leads with context. Apollo gives you data; Dealmayker gives you intelligence.
Yes! Many teams use Dealmayker for intelligent lead discovery and qualification, then verify contacts in Apollo or use Apollo's sequences for outreach. Dealmayker focuses on the intelligence layer - who fits your ICP and why.
Dealmayker isn't a contact database - we focus on finding the right leads, not the most leads. We use semantic matching to discover highly relevant prospects that traditional filters miss, then provide rich context about why they fit and when to reach out.
Apollo uses demographic filters (title, industry, size, location). Dealmayker understands your value proposition, pain points, and ideal customer characteristics in plain English. We find leads that semantically match even if they use different job titles or describe their problems differently.
Apollo starts at $49/mo but charges per credit for contact exports. Dealmayker starts at $29/mo with transparent pricing. We're solving different problems - Apollo is a contact database, Dealmayker is a sales intelligence engine. Many teams use both.
