Apollo is a lead prospecting tool that allows users to gather based on various specifications, and ease marketing outreach towards their given target audience. 

A common question that arises among lead prospecting users concerns whether the service they use is GDPR compliant or not. Fortunately, Tamly is a GDPR compliant alternative to Apollo.io as you may be pleased to hear. 

Additionally, Tamly provides an end-to-end marketing outreach service where you can not only gather contact information from your target audience in a GDPR compliant way, but also automate LinkedIn invites and messaging. You can also delegate this entire work on our team. 

Let us run through how you can support your marketing outreach operations with Tamly, compared to Apollo.io. 

Apollo Pros 

● A convenient means of acquiring email lists. 

● Users can manage calls and emails from the same platform. 

● They provide email analytics similar to other mass emailing platforms. 

● Easy CRM integration. 

Apollo Cons 

● Although Apollo.io claims to be GDPR compliant their data is not, posing a major threat to their users especially in the GDPR zone. 

○ Let us break this down. Apollo.io may provide email address information in a GDPR compliant way; it gets more complicated on the user’s side though. The outreach conducted towards these ‘mailing lists’ is highly problematic unless many steps are taken to ensure a GDPR compliant outreach ‘by the Apollo.io user’. Implementing those aside, just imagine if you have the slightest idea about what these steps might be, to ensure a GDPR compliant commercial mailing with the target contacts’ consent.

● No LinkedIn outreach automation tool. 

● Email marketing yields lower returns than LinkedIn outreach. 

● Limited prospecting per account, even if you are willing to pay for it. 

Tamly Advantages 

● GDPR compliant bulk contact information gathering. 

● LinkedIn outreach automation. 

● Lead prospecting from your target audience. 

● Integrations with email verification tools like Hunter.io and Dropcontact. 

● Lead prospecting, CRM directory, and calendar features in the same platform. 

● Unlimited prospecting with pricing per lead credits. 

● Database updated frequently.
