I tested every B2B lead scraper on Apify after the Apollo ban - here's what actually works
After Apify removed the main Apollo scraper, I spent the last 2 months and $$$+ testing every alternative for my agency. Scraped 30K+ B2B leads across different tools. Here's my honest breakdown: The Results: https://apify.com/olympus/b2b-leads-finder - Data quality: Excellent, matches Apollo UI data - Speed: Fast (1500-2000 leads/hour) - Email accuracy: Major issue - emails aren't enriched, just fake placeholders - Price: Reasonable at ~$1.5-2/1000 leads - Verdict: Great if you're running your own email finder afterward, otherwise not https://apify.com/code_crafter/leads-finder - Data quality: Good, filters work well - Speed: Decent (1000-1500 leads/hour) - Email accuracy: ~45% deliverability in my tests - Price: Mid-range - Verdict: MAJOR problem - you only get 20-50% of what Apollo's count shows. Search shows 10K leads? You'll get 3K max. Deal breaker for volume work. https://apify.com/microworlds/leads-generator - Data quality: Not actual Apollo data, but decent alternatives - Speed: Very fast, same-hour results - Email accuracy: Surprisingly good, ~60% deliverable - Price: Expensive, nearly 2x other options - Verdict: Only worth it for rush jobs where you need leads in the next few hours https://apify.com/amr-mando/lead-scraper - Data quality: Similar to olympus but includes actual emails + descriptions - Speed: Painfully slow (500-1200 leads/hour) - this is the real killer - Email accuracy: ~65% deliverable, best I've tested - Price: $1.5-2/1000 leads - Verdict: If you're not in a hurry and need quality over speed, it's solid. Run it overnight. Not great for time-sensitive same day projects. I know the developer of scraper #1 and own #4, so take my review with a grain of salt. That said, I've burned through a lot of money on it over 6 weeks and the email quality genuinely is the best I've found for #4 - I wouldn't keep using it otherwise.
