Apollo Lead Finder

Two-phase Apollo.io prospecting: free People Search for lead discovery, then selective paid enrichment to reveal emails and phone numbers. Creates Apollo lists and contacts.

Key advantage: Apollo People Search is free (no credits consumed). Credits are only spent when enriching contacts to reveal email/phone. This lets you search tens of thousands of leads at zero cost, review results, then selectively enrich only the best matches.
