Apollo.io pricing in 2026: the seat price, and what it leaves out
Apollo.io charges $65 or $99 per seat per month on monthly billing (Basic or Professional), and every person who logs in needs a seat. Each seat adds credits to a team pot that resets every billing cycle: 1 credit per email, 8 per phone number. Below: the plans on November 4, 2026, their caps, and what a team of 1, 3, 5 or 10 reps pays each month next to Emelia.
At a glance
- Strength: A real free plan: $0, 75 credits per seat per month, 2 sequences, 250 emails a day.

- Limit: Basic connects 1 mailbox per user and caps sending at 250 emails a day.

What the price hides. Credits are pooled across the team, granted at the start of each cycle and wiped at its end, add-on credits included. Extra credits cost $0.025 down to $0.015 each, are charged at once and renew every cycle until removed. Exporting a net-new contact with a verified email to CSV uses 1 credit. “Unlimited” sending sits under a Fair Use Policy the pricing page doesn’t detail. And Apollo’s terms of service say seats may not be decreased during a term.
What you actually pay per month
Three common setups, billed monthly on both sides, each price in its own currency. On Emelia, each mailbox handles up to 35 new contacts and 100 emails a day by default.

Where Emelia fits
Emelia sends cold email from your own mailboxes and runs LinkedIn invitations, messages and profile visits in the same sequence, calls included. The scope differs: Apollo’s credits mostly pay to reveal and export contacts from its database. Emelia has none: you bring your list (LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, a CSV) with its emails, or pay 1 credit per email found. A mobile number costs 50 credits, searched across several providers in a cascade and charged only when found.
The price follows capacity, not seats: Start €37 a month (3 mailboxes, 1 LinkedIn account), Grow €97 (50 mailboxes, 3 accounts), Scale €297 (unlimited mailboxes under fair use, 10 accounts), all excl. VAT. Each plan comes with 500, 1,000 or 5,000 credits once, when you subscribe; after that, credits are a subscription from €19 (excl. VAT) a month per 1,000, valid for a year, even after you cancel. Sales Navigator searches are exported in the cloud, with no limit on the number of exports, from €37 (excl. VAT) a month: the SN Assistant extension only passes the search to Emelia, in one click. Try it free for 7 days.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Apollo.io plan?
Yes: $0 for 75 credits per seat per month, 2 sequences and 250 emails a day, Gmail accounts only according to Apollo’s FAQ. Basic and Professional have a 14-day trial. Emelia has no free plan: it offers a 7-day trial without a credit card, plus 20 credits when you sign up with a company domain address.
Monthly or annual billing on Apollo: what changes?
Annual billing brings the seat to $49 on Basic and $79 on Professional, but you pay the year upfront and commit for 12 months. You can only return to monthly when the term ends, and annual plans can’t be downgraded mid-cycle. On Emelia, yearly billing costs €370, €970 or €2,970 a year (excl. VAT).
What happens to unused Apollo credits?
They expire. Apollo grants credits at the start of each billing cycle, pools them across the team and wipes what is left at the end, add-on credits included. On an annual plan, the year’s credits arrive upfront and expire with the term. Emelia credits stay valid for a year after purchase, even after you cancel.
How many credits does a phone number cost on Apollo?
8 credits, against 1 for a verified email. Apollo charges them each time it returns a phone number for a net-new contact and refunds no credits for mobile numbers; the office line comes free with the email. So a Professional seat’s 4,000 monthly credits buy 500 numbers, or 4,000 emails, or a mix.
Can two people share one Apollo seat?
No. Apollo’s terms of service allow one seat per authorized user and forbid seat-sharing, all seats sit on the same plan, and the seat count can’t be decreased during a term. Emelia has no price per seat: its plans scale on mailboxes, LinkedIn accounts and credits.
Why is Emelia listed first on this page?
Emelia is our group’s tool and we use it on every Bridgers campaign. What it adds next to Apollo: LinkedIn steps that actually run inside the email sequence, a plan price that doesn’t grow with headcount, and credits that stay valid for a year.
