What Apollo.io does

Apollo.io's extension overlays LinkedIn profiles, Gmail, Google Calendar, and company websites with contact data pulled from its database of contacts and companies. It surfaces email addresses and phone numbers you can save directly, and connects with CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot so found contacts flow into your existing sales workflow without manual data entry.

Apollo.io free vs paid

The free plan includes unlimited email credits, a set number of monthly export credits, a couple of basic sequence automations, and limited buying intent topics. Paid plans raise export limits, unlock deeper LinkedIn automation, more sequences, and additional AI-assisted email features, aimed at teams doing prospecting at scale.

Is Apollo.io safe?

The extension requests access to personally identifiable information, location data, and user activity to power its contact-finding overlay on the pages you visit. Apollo states this data isn't sold to third parties outside approved use cases. Given the breadth of access it needs, it's best suited to work accounts used specifically for sales prospecting.
