Klipy runs your entire sales operation. Apollo runs the outreach.
Ten sales jobs, one AI agent, picking up the moment a reply lands. Apollo finds and reaches a lot of people; the deal after the reply is a different job.
Klipy is the AI CRO: one agent doing the ten sales jobs an owner would otherwise hire for, from capturing the call to drafting the next move. It captures the whole deal across email, calls, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Telegram and drafts the next move from that history, you approve before anything goes out. Apollo is a genuinely strong prospecting and sequencing engine, one of the largest B2B contact databases, built-in cadence automation, but the calls and deals that follow a reply go untracked. It was not built to hold a deal history. Most teams run both.
The honest take
What Apollo does well
Apollo solves a real, specific job: find the right people fast and reach a lot of them without a seller doing it by hand. That's made it the default outbound engine for teams that need volume. If the job is "find leads and get the first email out the door," Apollo does that job well. Klipy is not trying to replace it there.
One of the largest B2B contact and company databases in the category
Built-in email sequencing and cadence automation at scale
Filters and search that narrow a large market down to a real target list fast
A genuine data source for firmographic and contact-level enrichment
Where it stops
The gap between Apollo and what you actually need
The reply is where Apollo's job ends
Apollo gets a prospect to respond. What happens after, the call that closes the pricing question, the LinkedIn message that answers an objection, the WhatsApp thread that actually moves the deal, mostly happens outside Apollo, and none of it gets tracked there.
No CRM behind the sequence
Apollo tracks whether a sequence step fired. It doesn't hold a real deal history: who said what, what was agreed, what the next step actually is. That still lives in a seller's head or a separate CRM someone has to update by hand.
The next message after a reply is still a blank page
Apollo's sequences are templates written before anyone replies. Once a real person responds with a real question, there's no draft waiting, a seller starts from scratch every time.
What Klipy does instead
The same workflow, without the manual work
Klipy captures the conversation Apollo can't see
Once a reply lands, Klipy captures the call (via Recall), the email thread, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Telegram automatically, so the parts of the deal that happen after the first response don't disappear.

Technical Deep Dive - Apex Solutions
Klipy builds the record instead of leaving it to memory
New contacts get created and enriched automatically. Companies get linked and enriched too, using Klipy's Deep Web Research, a live, Exa-grounded lookup, on top of whatever contact data Apollo already found. Deals are never auto-created behind your back, Klipy proposes each one as a suggestion you approve.

Klipy drafts the next move, grounded in what was actually said
When a reply comes in, Klipy drafts the follow-up in your voice, based on the real conversation, and stages it for your approval. You approve before anything sends.
The real cost
What the Apollo stack actually costs per seat
Klipy replaces the tools below. Here is what they add up to, every seat, every month.
An Apollo Professional seat stacked with a notetaker like Fireflies, a drafting tool like ChatGPT Plus, and a scheduler like Calendly runs about $133 per seat per month, list pricing as of August 2026. Nothing in that stack talks to Apollo. Klipy covers notetaking, drafting, and deal-building from $39 per seat, enriching from the same data Apollo pulls.

I have been a longtime Salesforce user and there are a few things that really make Klipy stand out. First, its a AI first platform. And second is that it required very low admin overhead. - So my team can focus on sales and drumming up new business instead of spending hours maintaining data in CRM.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about switching from Apollo to Klipy.
Klipy vs Apollo
Apollo and Klipy solve different parts of the sales cycle. Apollo is a prospecting and sequencing tool with a large B2B contact database, built to find leads and reach them at volume; its job ends once a prospect replies, since it doesn't track the call, the social reply, or the deal history that follows. Klipy is the AI CRO, one agent running the ten sales jobs an owner would otherwise hire for, and it picks up where Apollo's job ends: it captures the call (via Recall), email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Telegram automatically, auto-creates and enriches contacts and companies using its own live Deep Web Research, proposes deals for approval rather than auto-creating them, and drafts the next follow-up grounded in the actual conversation history; every draft waits for a human click before it sends. Apollo Professional runs $79 per seat per month for prospecting, as of August 2026; Klipy starts free and paid plans run from $39 per seat per month for the work after a reply. Most teams keep Apollo for volume outbound and add Klipy for the deal that follows, rather than replacing one with the other.

Frequently asked questions
Can Klipy replace Apollo?
Not for prospecting. Apollo is built to find and sequence leads at volume, and Klipy isn't trying to do that job. Klipy picks up once a prospect replies, capturing the conversation and drafting the next move.
Do I still need Apollo if I use Klipy?
If your team needs to find and reach new leads at scale, yes. Klipy starts where Apollo's job ends, at the reply, and most teams run both.
Does Klipy do outbound prospecting or sequencing?
No. Klipy captures and organizes what happens after a reply, calls, email threads, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Telegram, and drafts the follow-up. It doesn't find new leads or run outbound cadences.
Can Klipy enrich contacts without Apollo?
Yes. Klipy's Deep Web Research does live, Exa-grounded enrichment on its own. It can also work alongside data Apollo already found, they're not mutually exclusive.
Is Klipy cheaper than Apollo?
They price different jobs, so it's not a direct swap. Apollo Professional runs $79/seat/month for prospecting; Klipy starts free and paid plans run from $39/seat/month for the work that happens after a reply.
