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.

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.

Also let me know if you got any alternatives on Apify for an B2B lead scraper (Apollo Scraper but lowkey haha).
