Apollo.io wins this list because it removes the separate data subscription most outbound teams pay for. A Basic seat costs $49 per month billed annually and includes contact and account data, unlimited sequences, Gmail and Salesforce extensions, a deliverability suite with email warmup, CRM integrations, 5 automated workflows and a US dialer where credits apply. Professional at $79 adds A/Z testing, AI lead scoring and 4,000 minutes of call recording with AI insights. The free plan is a real starting point with 900 credits per seat per year. The catch is the credit model: every contact you reveal or enrich draws on an annual pool, 30,000 credits on Basic and 48,000 on Professional, so heavy prospecting teams should model usage before they buy. International calling sits in an Advanced Dialer add-on at $119 per team per month. For a small to midsize SDR team, it is the most complete package per dollar we compared.
