Cons
- No published pricing
- The AI SDR category has a documented retention problem — insist on a pilot
- Deliverability, LinkedIn limits, and TCPA exposure remain yours
- Output quality collapses without a well-defined ICP and offer
- Meetings booked is a vanity metric; hold the vendor to meetings held
Apollo.io
Pros
- Massive contact database
- All-in-one (data + outreach)
- Free tier is genuinely useful

Cons
- Data accuracy varies by region
- Advanced features require higher plans
