What are Apollo's use cases?
SDR prospecting at scale
Sales development teams use Apollo to find and prioritize prospects faster, using Outbound and Contact & Account Search to build targeted lists from the largest global B2B database at your fingertips. They then use the Chrome Extension to work leads directly in the browser and keep outreach moving without switching tools.
RevOps enrichment and routing
Revenue operations teams use Apollo to clean records and keep CRM data current, using Data Enrichment and CRM & Integrations to fill gaps across accounts and contacts. With Workflow Automation, they can route leads and trigger follow-up steps so sales reps receive better-qualified records in the right place.
AE research and deal execution
Account executives use Apollo to research accounts and execute outreach from one workspace, using Deal Execution and AI Assistant to prepare messages, track engagement, and move opportunities forward. The Chrome Extension helps them act on account insights while they browse, instead of bouncing between tabs.
Inbound qualification for marketing
Marketing teams use Apollo to qualify inbound leads and hand them off cleanly, using Inbound and Workflow Automation to score, route, and notify the right sales owner. CRM & Integrations keeps lead activity synced so follow-up happens quickly and qualified demand does not stall.

Editor's read
Check the credit allowances and billing structure before rollout: Free includes 900 credits, Basic 30,000, Professional 48,000, and Organization 72,000, with Organization billed annually and a 3-seat minimum. If your team will lean on enrichment, dialer usage, or AI-heavy workflows, confirm those volumes fit the plan ceiling.
