Our verdict

Apollo is a best-in-class lead database, but it is only one layer of the modern outbound stack — you still need an email sender, a LinkedIn tool, and an SDR to stitch them together. Ghost bundles a 600M database, native LinkedIn + email sequences, intent scoring, and an AI campaign agent into a single $99/month platform. For most B2B teams, Ghost replaces Apollo and the three tools around it.
