Heya Guys,
Due to the ongoing spam update, Our In-house team of four has paused for link-building efforts, as we have seen significant impression drops. Two team members are currently working on revamping the blogs and money landing pages of our service-based website. We are working hard to get back on track, but we will not know the total effect and what to do until the update is complete. With no major tasks on my hands, my chief tasked me last week with finding an alternative to Apollo.io. The core intent is to obtain reliable Lead data. We are currently paying about a dollar for three personal phone numbers on Apollo.io. I did extensive research on this topic. Below are my findings for cheap data—compared to Apollo.io -
1. RockLeads (Super Unreliable data), exported 1000 rows at 29$, almost a total waste of money as numbers were either missing or wrong. They did reverse some credits for misinformation, but the overall experience was not great.
2. searchleads.Co (same as Rockleads) is also expensive. I used their free credits only, as I couldn't afford to lose another $30.
3. Used the trial Appolo.io Lead Scraper on Apify, Good results, but limited to Apollo's free tier limitations. I used a new account because I can't risk the OG account being banned/shadowbanned.
4. Tried ZoomInfo free trial, almost the same limitations as Apollo, and pricing is somewhat the same.
5. Searched BHW for some ideas, found app.exportapollo.com, tried their free credit, but the list is not processed even after 48 hours (TOTAL SCAM!).
One thing is crystal clear for me to fathom: Data is not free, okay!, I understand that, but where can I find reliable data at a low cost? However, there must be ways to do that with little to no overhead—but no one who cracked that will be willing to share the technique, though.
I'm creating this post in hopes that any experienced member would share their thoughts or express how I can achieve those in the cheapest way possible.
