Apollo.io scraper: export Apollo leads to CSV or Excel — verified, no export credits, 3x cheaper.

Coldcast re-verifies every contact in real time and tops up missing emails and phones with its own waterfall — so the list is fresher and cleaner than the raw export, and it exports the whole search without burning per-row Apollo export credits.

Coldcast reads the contacts your Apollo search already displays and exports them directly to CSV or Excel, so you don’t spend a per-row Apollo export credit. You keep Apollo for search and filtering; Coldcast handles the export, verification and enrichment.

Apollo lets you select and export 25 contacts at a time (its “record selection limit”), caps how deep a single search goes, and meters everything against a monthly credit allowance that resets and doesn’t roll over. Coldcast bypasses the export meter safely: it auto-paginates the entire search into one download of up to 12,000 rows, without spending export credits, at a human pace that keeps your account safe.

No. Coldcast exports the contacts your Apollo search already shows, so you’re not gated by a paid plan’s export credits, and you don’t need an Apollo API key. Apollo hides emails on free plans — Coldcast’s waterfall enrichment finds them from other providers. If Apollo limits how many pages your plan can view in a search, split large searches by filter and export each one.

The whole search, up to 12,000 rows per export. Coldcast auto-paginates every page of the result set and delivers it in one CSV or Excel file instead of 25 contacts at a time. For larger audiences, split the search by location, headcount or title and export each slice.

Coldcast isn’t free, but there’s a free trial with 100 leads so you can export a real Apollo search before paying. Genuinely free Apollo scrapers are usually unthrottled Chrome extensions that put your account at risk — the opposite of what Coldcast is built for.

Yes — Coldcast connects through a one-click Chrome extension, but the extraction is paced like a human rather than hammering Apollo from your tab at max speed, so you get extension convenience without the ban risk of a free unthrottled scraper.

No. You stay logged in to Apollo in your own Chrome; the one-click Coldcast extension connects that session. Nothing to paste into a third-party cloud actor, no password shared, and no API key to generate.

It can if you use a reckless, max-speed scraper. Coldcast paces extraction like a human and enforces safe limits by default, rather than leaving speed settings to you — that account-safety-first design is the whole point of the product.

Scraping publicly viewable B2B contact data is generally lawful in most jurisdictions, though it does breach Apollo’s terms of service, so the realistic risk is account suspension rather than legal action. Always verify and clean the data and respect GDPR and CAN-SPAM in your outreach.

Every address is re-verified in real time as it exports: syntax, MX record, an SMTP-level mailbox check and catch-all detection. Risky catch-alls are filtered out, and the gaps Apollo leaves are filled by waterfall enrichment across multiple providers, so the list is send-ready before it reaches your CRM or sequencer.

Yes. Coldcast exports Apollo company (organization) search as well as people search, so you can build account lists with firmographics, not just individual contacts.

Yes — the waterfall pulls verified work emails and direct-dial phone numbers where available, so you can run email and phone plays from one export.

Everything the Apollo people or company search displays — name, title, company, location, LinkedIn URL and company firmographics — plus the columns Coldcast adds: the re-verified work email, a direct-dial phone where the waterfall finds one, and the verification result for each contact.

Coldcast is pay-as-you-go and credits never expire. Scraping is $3 per 10,000 rows (30 cents per 1,000 Apollo leads), and a waterfall-verified email is $30 per 10,000 finds ($3 per 1,000) — charged only when an email is actually found. That works out to roughly a third of a cent per verified Apollo lead, about 3x cheaper than per-credit pricing, with verification and enrichment included rather than sold as add-ons. Start with 100 free leads.

No. Coldcast is pay-as-you-go and credits never expire, so you can buy for one campaign and use the balance months later. That’s the opposite of Apollo export credits, which reset each billing cycle and don’t roll over.

Apify is a general-purpose scraping platform where you configure and maintain actors yourself, and its Apollo actors typically ask you to upload your session cookies and return contacts without verified emails. Coldcast is purpose-built for Apollo and LinkedIn lead export with verification and waterfall enrichment baked in — campaign-ready lists, no actors, proxies or cookie hand-offs.

Yes. After the export is verified you can download a CSV or Excel file, or sync the rows directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, Instantly, Smartlead or Lemlist, so the list goes from Apollo search to sequence without a manual import.

Paste your Apollo people or company search URL into Coldcast, start the export, and download a clean CSV or Excel (XLSX) file — auto-paginated, re-verified in real time and catch-all cleaned, ready for your CRM or sequencer.
