I’m setting up my outbound system to sell AI receptionists and I keep hearing people say Apollo is overrated now — weak data, bad deliverability, duplicate leads, poor personalization…
But then others are still swearing it’s the best option if you know how to use it properly.
So what’s the truth here?
For anyone consistently booking calls through outbound:
- Is Apollo still worth it in 2025 or is it basically Hunter.io 2.0 now?
- If you ditched Apollo, what tool are you using instead?
- What are you stacking for lead scraping + inbox rotation + CTR boosting?
- Anyone here running outbound for AI offers — what’s ACTUALLY working?
I’m not looking for fluffy replies — just real insight from people getting results.
Let’s hear it 🙌👇
