Why switch
Why companies move from Apollo to LaCleo
Apollo is great for teams that want a DIY outbound tool. LaCleo is for teams that want results without managing tools.
Multi-channel, not single-channel
Apollo handles outbound email. LaCleo orchestrates prospecting, email, SEO, reputation, social, and security — from one managed system.
Managed service, not another tool
No dashboards to learn, no sequences to build. Our team and AI agents handle execution. You review and approve.
Waterfall enrichment vs. single database
Apollo relies on its own database. LaCleo chains 6+ providers — if one misses, the next catches it. Higher match rates, fresher data.
Human-in-the-loop quality
Every deliverable is reviewed by a human strategist before it reaches you. No runaway automations, no embarrassing sends.
Dedicated team, not a help center
You get a named account manager and strategist. Not a chatbot, not a ticket queue.
Strategy included
Apollo gives you tools. LaCleo gives you a growth strategy, ICP workshops, and ongoing optimization.
The bottom line
Apollo is a database with a sequencer. It's a good tool — if you have the team to run it, write the copy, manage deliverability, and build a multi-channel strategy around it.
LaCleo replaces the tool and the team. AI agents handle execution across six channels. Human strategists ensure quality. You get growth — not another login.
