Best fit

Who each tool is for

Apollo

Strong Choice

Best for: Independent consultants testing outbound for the first time — free tier covers real campaigns.

Why pick it: The largest B2B contact database available at this price point, with a genuinely useful free tier. You can go from zero to sending outreach in 30 minutes.

Watch for: If you already have a lead source (referrals, inbound), the database is wasted. Use a lighter outreach tool instead.

Saleshandy

Strong Choice

Best for: Consultants who need to scale outbound while keeping reply rates healthy across multiple sender accounts.

Why pick it: Unlimited sender accounts and deliverability controls are strong for teams that quickly outgrow single-inbox outreach.

Watch for: If you do low-volume outreach, you may not use the account-scaling features enough to justify switching.
