Built for modern teams. Everything to scale outreach.
Start gratisNavigent vs Apollo: 300M+ contacts plus 5-channel sequences in one workspace.
Apollo bolts a thin sender onto a contact database. Navigent ships the same 300M+ contacts plus native LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS, SmartChat AI SDR, and built-in warm-up, all priced from $99/mo.
Pay $499 flat for unlimited workspaces and seats on Navigent Agency. Apollo scales per user linearly and pushes you to a $149+/seat Organization tier for SSO.
Automate LinkedIn natively with connection requests, messages, profile views, and post likes via Navigent. Apollo treats LinkedIn as a manual task reminder, not an automated channel.
Send WhatsApp and Instagram DMs as first-class channels in Navigent. Apollo does not support either.
Run SMS as a native fifth channel in Navigent. Apollo does not ship SMS.
Build adaptive flows with If-Connected, If-ICP-Score, and If-Replied conditional branches on Navigent. Apollo runs linear sequences with manual A/B branching.
Branch on cross-channel signals from LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and email in one Navigent sequence. Apollo branches inside email only.
Score every contact 0 to 100 against your ICP with Navigent. Apollo scores at the account level only and does not propagate score to individual contacts in sequences.
Run unlimited workspaces on Navigent for agencies managing multiple clients. Apollo bills per seat inside a single workspace.
Import leads from LinkedIn search URLs and post engagement natively with Navigent. Apollo requires Chrome extension scraping for the same flows.
Ship SOC 2 Type II readiness, GDPR compliance, and EU plus US data residency on every Navigent plan, matching Apollo's enterprise posture without the seat upcharge.
Apollo wins on the built-in phone dialer for outbound calling teams. Navigent does not ship a dialer today.
Apollo's freemium tier is genuinely useful for solo prospectors. Navigent offers a 14-day trial but no permanent free plan.
Frequently asked questions
Is Apollo cheaper than Navigent in 2026?
+
Entry yes: Apollo Basic $59/user, Pro $99/user. A 5-rep Apollo Pro team is $495/mo. Navigent Pro covers 5 reps at $249 flat. Apollo's freemium has no Navigent equivalent.
Does Apollo support LinkedIn outreach like Navigent?

How do I migrate from Apollo.io to Navigent?
+

Does Navigent have a built-in dialer like Apollo?
+
No. Apollo wins on the built-in dialer with parallel dialing and local presence. Navigent exports verified phones for your existing dialer (Aircall, Dialpad) but does not ship one.
What does Navigent offer that Apollo doesn't?

Native WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS, automated warm-up on every plan, per-contact ICP scoring 0 to 100, If-Connected branching, unlimited Agency workspaces, and SSO without $149+/seat.
