Looking for an Apollo alternative? A crew that finds, verifies, writes and asks you first.
Pick Apollo to search a big database and run calls and sequences in one place. Pick Reach Crew for a different approach: a crew that finds the people for a goal you write in one sentence, verifies each address, writes one personal email per person and asks you before anything sends.
What Apollo is. Apollo bundles a large B2B contact database with sequences, a dialer and a browser extension. Its paid plans are priced per user, with data credits by plan.
Why people look for an Apollo alternative
- You want each email written for one person, not a template with fields.
- Per-user pricing adds up as more people on the team need access.
- You only need a focused round of people per goal, not a whole database.
When Apollo is the better choice
- You want to search and map a whole market in a large database.
- You need a dialer, sequences and CRM sync in one tool.
- Your team already works in it every day.
When Reach Crew fits
- You would rather write one sentence than tune forty filters.
- You want every email written for one person and approved by you.
- You want the whole team in one workspace without per-seat fees.

How Reach Crew does it
One sentence, not forty filters. People, checked and drafted.
ScoutTurns your sentence into people at the right companies, with why each fits.
CheckerLooks up each address right before writing. Verified means two sources.
WriterDrafts the first email the same day, ready for you to approve.
Switching, in five steps. Or run both, side by side.
Keep what works
Keep Apollo if you use it to map markets or make calls. Nothing in Reach Crew needs it switched off.
Bring your target companies
Export an Apollo company list as a .csv with a website or name column, then paste it or upload it in "I have a list" when you set a goal. A list holds up to 200 companies, and the right people at each are found for you.
Write the goal in one sentence
The filters or the sequence you used become a sentence, like "VPs of Procurement at Midwest manufacturers". Scout shows why each person fits.
Connect your mailbox
Sign in with Google and connect Gmail or Google Workspace. Anyone you already talk to is held, not emailed again, and a new mailbox starts at 5 a day and warms up.
Approve the first round
Read each draft and approve one by one or all at once. Sends go out at 9:30 am on a weekday their time, and follow-ups stop on any reply.
