# Apollo vs *RocketReach*

[Visit Apollo](https://go.frontal.so/apollo)

## Apollo API

Best all-in-one GTM API $49/seat/mo

vs

## RocketReach

API and MCP on the cheapest paid tier $33/mo annual

Short answer

Apollo if emails are most of what you buy, because $0.0196 a credit against $0.085 an export is not a gap volume closes. RocketReach if you need mobiles and personal emails at volume, because one export carries all of them and the per-export price genuinely falls to $0.08 at the top tier while Apollo's credit stays flat. RocketReach is also the answer for a headless pipeline, since API and MCP access sit on the $33 plan and Apollo attaches its credits to a seat. Work out your own mix of emails to mobiles before either rate card means anything.

Side by side

## Where they actually differ

Every value comes from the same record that drives the [Enrichment APIs](https://frontal.so/gtm-apis/enrichment-apis) listing, so this table cannot disagree with the cards. Accented tags are data one provider returns and the other does not.

Cost modeling

## The same workload, priced both ways

Computed from each provider's published entry-plan rate. The monthly floor is shown separately, because at low volume the floor is the bill.

| Workload | Apollo API | RocketReach | Difference |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 10,000 verified work emails | $196.00 $0.02 per email | $2,500 $0.25 per email | **Apollo API** by 12.8x |
| 2,000 mobile numbers | $352.80 $0.176 per mobile | $500.00 $0.25 per mobile | **Apollo API** by 42% |
| Monthly floor at entry | $49/seat/mo | $33/mo annual | RocketReach is lower |
| Charged on a miss | No | No | Neither |

Rates read from each vendor's own pricing page between 8 and 19 October 2026. Bulk figures assume the entry-plan rate holds at that volume, which in practice means moving up a plan tier.

The decision

## Pick each one when

### [Visit Apollo](https://go.frontal.so/apollo) Apollo API

- Emails are the bulk of what you need, and mobiles are occasional.
- You want sourcing, sequencing and CRM writes behind the same key.
- Your volume sits below a few thousand lookups a month, where Apollo's flat credit wins outright.

### RocketReach

- Mobiles and personal emails are the job, not a bonus field.
- Nobody is logging in, and you do not want to buy a seat to get a key.
- You are at volume: the per-export price falls from $0.33 to $0.08 and Apollo's does not move.

The test that settles it

Neither vendor publishes a match rate you could hold them to, so the rate card only tells you half the story. Take 500 rows from the segment you actually sell into, run them through one free tier and one trial, verify both result sets, and divide spend by survivors. Half a day and about $20, and on a close pair it changes the answer often enough to be worth it.

Plan by plan

## What each one costs, tier by tier

Both publish a full rate card, so this comparison runs on numbers rather than on adjectives. Apollo API lists 4 tiers and RocketReach lists 4. Every figure is read off the vendor's own pricing page, and the pages they came from are listed at the foot of this one.

| The short version | Apollo API | RocketReach |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cheapest paid plan | Basic, $49 | Essentials, $33 |
| Tiers published | 4 | 4 |
| Free tier | Free plan with API access, 900 credits per seat per year granted monthly, so 75 a month | No ongoing free tier. |
| Unit cost at entry | $0.0196 per credit | $0.25 per export |

The cheapest paid plan is rarely the plan you end up on, because what moves you up a tier is usually volume rather than a feature. The two rate cards below are what you are choosing between.

Cost model

## What Apollo and RocketReach cost at your volume

Put your own volume in. The model picks the cheapest published plan that covers it on each side, which is the question a rate card cannot answer and the one that decides the bill.

### [Visit Apollo](https://go.frontal.so/apollo) Apollo API

Priced on the volume you use, so the plan that covers a normal month is the one that decides the bill.

Plan that covers it **Basic, 4 seats**

Monthly **$196**

Twelve months **$2,352**

Included **10,000 credits**

Your rate at this volume **$0.0196 per credit**

### RocketReach

Priced on the volume you use, so the plan that covers a normal month is the one that decides the bill.

Plan that covers it **Past the published ladder**

Largest published **Ultimate, 1,667 exports**

At your volume **Quoted**

Ask for **the per-export rate above 1,667**

Plans are read from each vendor's own pricing page and the model picks the cheapest one that covers you, so these are list prices before any discount you negotiate and before annual billing, which most of these vendors discount.

Twelve months

## What a year costs at three volumes

The same plan-fit arithmetic as the model above, run out to a year, because an annual number is what a budget actually asks for. Every column moves with volume, because all of these meter usage rather than seats.

| A year at | Apollo API | RocketReach |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1,000 a month | $588 Basic | $1,704 Ultimate |
| 10,000 a month | $2,352 Basic | Quoted |
| 50,000 a month | $11,760 Basic | Quoted |

2 of the 2 providers here publish enough to be put in this table. These are list prices on the published plan that covers each volume, so they are the number before you negotiate and before annual billing, which most of these vendors discount by between a fifth and a half.

In practice

## How this plays out once it is running

The two price different things, which is why the headline comparison misleads in both directions. [Apollo](https://frontal.so/gtm-apis/enrichment-apis/apollo-api-review) charges per credit and spends one on an email and nine on a call that returns a mobile, so a mobile is $0.1764 at the Basic rate. RocketReach charges per export and an export carries the work email, the personal email and the mobile together, at $0.33 on Essentials falling to $0.08 on Ultimate. On an email Apollo is cheaper at every volume; on a mobile the two cross somewhere above RocketReach's Pro tier.

The second difference is structural and decides more evaluations than the rate does. RocketReach puts API and MCP access on all three paid plans, starting at $33 a month billed annually. Apollo grants credits per seat, so a pipeline with no human in it still buys a user's worth of software, and Organization adds a three-seat minimum that puts US$357 a month under it. If the thing calling the API is a cron job, that is the whole comparison.

Strengths

## What each one is genuinely good at

Not a feature list. These are the things that make somebody keep paying after the novelty has worn off, which is a different question from what the marketing page leads with.

### [Visit Apollo](https://go.frontal.so/apollo) Apollo API

#### The cheapest credit here, by a long way on emails

Apollo is $0.0196 a credit and an email costs one of them. RocketReach's cheapest export is $0.085 on Ultimate and $0.33 on the entry plan, so for an address alone Apollo is between four and seventeen times cheaper depending on which RocketReach tier you are on. No amount of volume closes that, because Apollo's rate is already flat across every paid tier.

#### A miss costs nothing, and search costs nothing

Apollo spends zero credits when an enrichment call finds nothing, and its people search returns profiles without spending anything at all. That makes the filter-then-enrich pattern genuinely free to iterate on, which is the single biggest lever on a data bill and the one most teams never pull.

#### It is the whole motion, not the data step

Sequences, contacts, deals and tasks are all endpoints here and all of them cost 0 credits, and there is an MCP server at mcp.apollo.io/mcp covering the same surface. RocketReach gives you contact data and stops. If the alternative is Apollo plus a sequencer, price the sequencer in before comparing anything.

### RocketReach

#### The per-export price actually falls with volume

Essentials is $399 a year for 1,200 exports, Pro $899 for 3,600 and Ultimate $1,699 for 20,000, which works out at $0.33, $0.25 and $0.085 an export. That is a genuine volume discount rather than a bigger bucket at the same rate, and it is unusual in this category. Apollo's credit sits at $0.0196 on Basic and $0.0198 on Organization, so buying more there buys seats rather than a discount.

#### One export carries every field, including the personal email

A RocketReach export returns the work email, the personal email and the mobile together. Apollo returns neither personal emails nor, on the same credit, a mobile: that is nine credits when a number comes back. On a list where you want the direct dial on most rows, the comparison is $0.085 against $0.1764, and RocketReach is the cheaper one.

#### API and MCP on every paid plan, from $33

There is no gated tier and no seat attached. The $33 a month Essentials plan carries the same API and MCP access as the $142 one, which makes RocketReach the cheapest legitimate way into programmatic contact data in this directory for a workload nobody logs in to.

Limits

## Where each one falls down

Every provider on this site has a case it handles badly, and the people who find out are the ones who bought it for that case. These are the ones worth knowing before you sign rather than after.

### [Visit Apollo](https://go.frontal.so/apollo) Apollo API

#### Credits are attached to a seat, and granted annually

The 30,000 credits on Basic are per seat per year, not per month, which is 2,500 a month at $0.0196 each. Reaching higher volume means buying seats rather than moving up a tier, and Organization enforces a three-seat minimum at US$357 a month. A headless pipeline pays for users that do not exist.

#### No personal emails, and a mobile costs nine times an address

Apollo returns no personal emails at all, so a motion that needs one has no input here. And its own direct dials are 8 credits on top of the email credit, which is where the cheapest unit in the directory stops being cheap and RocketReach starts winning.

#### The daily cap catches people who sized on the minute figure

200 requests a minute but only 2,000 a day on Basic, and enrichment separately gets 1,000 a minute with no daily cap. People read the minute number, size a backfill against it, and discover the daily pool three hours in. Read both before you plan a load.

### RocketReach

#### The allowance is annual, so the entry plan is thinner than it reads

Essentials is 1,200 exports a year. That is 100 a month, and a single afternoon of list building spends a quarter of it. The $33 figure is a monthly installment on an annual commitment rather than a monthly allowance, and the plan to compare against Apollo's 2,500 a month is Ultimate.

#### Nothing about throughput is published

RocketReach publishes no rate limits: the annual export allowance is the binding constraint and the request ceiling is whatever the account permits. For a batch job that is usually fine, and for anything latency-sensitive it is a question to settle before you build rather than after.

#### Contact data and nothing else

There is no sequencer, no CRM object model and no free tier to prove the match rate on. Replacing Apollo with RocketReach means replacing one key with two or three, and the orchestration that cost 0 credits inside Apollo now has to live somewhere that charges for it.

Both

## Using Apollo and RocketReach together

A two-way comparison assumes the answer is one of them. On this pairing it often is not, and the arrangement below is what teams actually end up running.

The arrangement that works is Apollo first and RocketReach on what Apollo could not answer, and it is cheaper than it sounds because the two charge for different failures. Apollo spends nothing on a miss, so running it across the whole list costs only what it finds. RocketReach then takes the residue, where the rows are hard and an export carrying three fields at once is worth $0.085.

Split it by field rather than only by miss, though, because that is where most of the saving is. Emails through Apollo at $0.0196 on every row, mobiles and personal emails through RocketReach at Ultimate rates on the rows that actually need a phone call. Asking Apollo for the phone on the same call is nine credits and $0.1764, which is twice what the same number costs on the other side.

What makes the pairing awkward is the commitment. RocketReach's useful rate only exists on an annual plan, so the second provider is a year of spend rather than a top-up you can stop. Model the mix on a month of your own traffic first: if fewer than one row in five needs a direct dial, the arithmetic usually says stay on Apollo and pay the nine credits.

Decide

## Apollo or RocketReach, for you

Five questions, answered from the same records as the rest of this page. Nothing is sent anywhere and there is no result to email yourself.

Which market is most of your list in?

Do you need job postings?

Are you buying one step or the whole motion?

Do you need SOC 2 Type II published up front?

Is there budget approved for this yet?

Answer the questions above

Each answer leans one way. The recommendation appears here once you have picked at least two.

A tool like this can only weigh what is on the page. It does not know your segment, and the one test that does is the bake-off further down: real rows, cheapest entry on each side, spend divided by survivors.

Where an answer leans on a certification or an integration, it means that vendor publishes it on the pages this directory read, which is not the same as the other one lacking it. The sources are listed at the foot of the page.

Provenance

## Where the data comes from, and what you may do with it

The question that arrives late and expensively is not how good the data is, it is who is allowed to hold it. These are the fields each one returns, the coverage it claims and the compliance it publishes.

| Provider | Fields returned | Coverage | Compliance | Redistribution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Apollo API](https://frontal.so/gtm-apis/enrichment-apis/apollo-api-review) | Work email, Mobile phone, Firmographics, Technographics, Job postings, Intent and news, LinkedIn profile, CRM records | Global | GDPR DPA SOC 2 Type II CCPA | Not stated |
| [RocketReach](https://rocketreach.co/) | Work email, Personal email, Mobile phone, Firmographics, Technographics, Intent and news | Strongest in NA | GDPR DPA CCPA | Not stated |

None of these states a redistribution position on its pricing or docs pages. Internally that never matters. Put the rows in something your customers can see and it becomes the question your legal team asks first.

Two practical notes that apply to every provider on this page. A compliance badge describes the vendor, not your use of it, so a GDPR DPA does not give you a lawful basis for the outreach you send. And every one of these vendors runs its own opt-out, which means a person who asks you to delete their record has to be removed from your copy as well as from theirs.

Migration

## Moving between Apollo and RocketReach

Most readers of this page are already on one of these two. A swap is four hours of code and a month of watching, and the order below is the one that catches the expensive mistakes while they are still free.

01

### Measure the thing you are about to lose

Run 500 rows you already have through Apollo API and record the match rate, the fields that came back populated and the cost. Without that number a migration cannot be judged, because every provider looks cheaper per unit than the one you are paying for today.

02

### Check the fields, not the field count

RocketReach does not return Job postings, LinkedIn profile and CRM records, which Apollo API does. If anything downstream reads job postings, that is a change to your pipeline and not just to your vendor.

03

### Rewrite the auth and the limits, in that order

Apollo API authenticates with API key in the x-api-key header. RocketReach uses API key, per the RocketReach API v2 docs.

The limits are the part that bites later. Apollo API rate: 200 req/min, 2,000/day on Basic. Enrichment gets 1,000/min with no daily cap.

RocketReach rate: Not published. The annual export allowance is the binding constraint. A loop tuned to the first will either crawl or get throttled on the second.

04

### Run both for one billing cycle

Keep the old key live and route a slice of real traffic to the new one. A month is the shortest honest test, because credit expiry, rollover and the overage rate only show up at renewal and those are where the surprises live.

05

### Cancel on the renewal date, not before

Credits on most of these plans do not survive a downgrade. Check what happens to the balance you have already paid for, and time the switch so you are not buying the same records twice.

The step people skip is the first one, and it is the only one that cannot be done after the fact. Once the old key is off you have nothing to compare the new match rate against, so a provider that is quietly worse on your segment looks like a provider that is fine.

What practitioners say

## What practitioners say about Apollo

The one part of this page that is not a vendor claim. Quotes are transcribed as written, linked to the thread, and nothing here is the only source for a figure in the tables above. Where a comment makes its point in crude words, we summarize it in our own words instead of quoting it.

### The rate limit, not the credit price, is what people actually hit

**In our words:** A practitioner building on the API says the rate limits are what their team hit, that they got past them by routing requests across three Apollo accounts, and that Apollo charges per request even when a lookup returns nothing.

[r/gtmengineering](https://www.reddit.com/r/gtmengineering/comments/1toiu1u/apollo_api_limits/) · May 2026 · summarized rather than quoted

Two halves worth separating. The limit is real and it is on this page: 200 requests a minute and 2,000 a day on Basic, with enrichment on a separate 1,000 a minute and no daily cap, which is why a bulk job and a per-row loop feel like different products.

The charge-on-no-output half needs care, because Apollo publishes 0 credits when nothing is found and that matches what we read. What a miss does spend is a request against the rate limit, and when the limit is the binding constraint that is the cost you feel. Pooling accounts to get round a published limit is a terms question before it is an engineering one.

### The answer to the limit is the bulk endpoint, and it gets missed

> Are you using bulk enrichment? You should be able to compress 10 enrichments per call, and based on the documentation I'm reading, the limit should be 600 calls, so that's 6000 total contacts per hour. If you have more, you can write some code to stagger them with 60 minute delays per 6000.

[r/gtmengineering](https://www.reddit.com/r/gtmengineering/comments/1toiu1u/apollo_api_limits/) · May 2026 · 1 point

This is the right instinct and it is the same one the batch endpoints exist for: ten records in one call is one request against the limit rather than ten. The arithmetic here is this person's reading of Apollo's documentation rather than ours, so check the current bulk limit on Apollo's own reference before sizing a job around 6,000 an hour. The shape of the advice holds whatever the number is.

FAQ

## Apollo and RocketReach, answered

Read from the same records that drive the table above.

**Is Apollo or RocketReach cheaper?**

On the entry plan it is RocketReach, $33/mo annual against Apollo at $49/seat/mo. Per unit it is $0.02 per credit against $0.25 per export, which is the figure that decides it at volume.

**Can I try Apollo and RocketReach for free?**

Apollo: Free plan with API access, 900 credits per seat per year granted monthly, so 75 a month. RocketReach: No ongoing free tier.

**What are the rate limits on Apollo and RocketReach?**

Apollo: 200 req/min, 2,000/day on Basic. Enrichment gets 1,000/min with no daily cap. RocketReach: Not published. The annual export allowance is the binding constraint.

**Do Apollo and RocketReach both have MCP servers?**

Both do. Apollo: https://mcp.apollo.io/mcp. RocketReach: MCP access on every paid tier.

**Which is better, Apollo or RocketReach?**

Apollo if emails are most of what you buy, because $0.0196 a credit against $0.085 an export is not a gap volume closes. RocketReach if you need mobiles and personal emails at volume, because one export carries all of them and the per-export price genuinely falls to $0.08 at the top tier while Apollo's credit stays flat.

**What are the downsides of Apollo and RocketReach?**

Measured against each other rather than in general. Apollo: none of the structural gaps in this answer; the limits section carries its operational ones. RocketReach: there is no free tier, so you cannot measure your own match rate before paying.

**Can you use Apollo and RocketReach together?**

The arrangement that works is Apollo first and RocketReach on what Apollo could not answer, and it is cheaper than it sounds because the two charge for different failures. Apollo spends nothing on a miss, so running it across the whole list costs only what it finds.

**Can I migrate from Apollo to RocketReach without losing data?**

Not without losing a field. RocketReach does not return job postings, LinkedIn profile and CRM records, which Apollo does, so anything downstream that reads it has to change. Either way, measure your match rate on 500 rows before you switch, because that number is the one you cannot recover afterwards.
