The honest verdict · no fake winner

When Apollo is the better choice

Pick Apollo if you sell outside the UK, where Leadistry has no data, or want a large contact database, sequences, calls and a dialer for a whole team in one tool. Its free plan is a cheap way to try its database. If you need phone numbers for named people, Apollo has them and Leadistry does not. Leadistry has no search by job title either, so if you need named people in set roles at large firms, such as the facilities manager, a contact database like Apollo's suits you better.

When Leadistry is the better choice

Pick Leadistry if you sell to UK companies and want each one found, checked and written to for you. Every agent lead is a UK company from Companies House with a website we opened, an email we checked and a dated reason to write, such as accounts coming due. The price is for the account, not per seat, and £39 a month is the rolling monthly price, with no annual commitment.

What Leadistry does that Apollo does not.

From their own pages
  • Prices the account, not each seat. Apollo charges per seat.
  • Gives its lowest price on a rolling monthly plan. Apollo's $49 Basic price is billed annually, and monthly billing is $65 a seat.
  • Keeps unused leads while your plan is live. Apollo's unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle.

Frequently asked questions.

Questions
Is Leadistry cheaper than Apollo?

For one person on a paid plan, yes. Leadistry's lowest paid plan is £39 a month, billed monthly, with no VAT added. Apollo's lowest paid plan is $49 a seat a month billed annually, or $65 billed monthly, and its prices exclude taxes (apollo.io/pricing, 7 October 2026). Apollo also has a free plan, and the prices buy different things: Apollo's buys a seat with credits, Leadistry's buys 500 UK leads a month, each with a website we opened and an email we checked.

Does Leadistry send the emails, like Apollo's sequences?

Yes. The AI writes the first email to each company, using its dated reason, and it goes from your own Gmail, Outlook or other mailbox, starting at 5 a day while the mailbox warms up. You approve each email, or switch on Autopilot. Apollo includes sequences on every plan too, and on its free plan you can connect Gmail only. The difference is where the companies come from: Leadistry finds UK companies for you, each with a reason to write.

Does Leadistry only find new companies?

No. It finds UK limited companies on the Companies House public record by trade and area, new or established. New companies come through in their first year, and established ones come through with a dated reason, such as accounts or a confirmation statement coming due, or a website graded poor. What it does not do is search for people by job title.

Can Leadistry replace Apollo?

Only for selling to UK companies. Leadistry covers UK companies on the Companies House public record and nothing outside the UK, and it has no numbers for named people and no search by job title. If you sell abroad or call named people, keep Apollo. If your customers are UK companies, Leadistry finds them, checks them and writes to them for one monthly price.
