LocalStitch vs. Apollo (2026): Which is Right for You?
Apollo's 275M contact database is impressive—if you're selling to tech companies. But local plumbers, restaurants, and contractors? They're not in there. LocalStitch finds them.
The Bottom Line
A quick summary before we dive deep.
Local business lead intelligence
Built specifically for finding and enriching local businesses. Google Maps extraction, AI research agents, and waterfall enrichment give you verified contacts at any local business—plumbers, dentists, restaurants, contractors, you name it.
Enterprise B2B sales platform
A comprehensive sales platform with 275M+ contacts focused on tech companies and enterprises. Great for reaching VPs at SaaS companies, but their database has major gaps in local/SMB coverage. If your lead isn't on LinkedIn, Apollo doesn't know them.
See Both Platforms
Find businesses Apollo doesn't know exist
Apollo's database is built from LinkedIn and corporate directories. That's great for tech—terrible for local. The owner of Joe's Plumbing isn't on LinkedIn, but he's on Google Maps.
- Pull any business from Google Maps
- 3,500+ indexed local business categories
- Location-based search (radius, city, zip)
- Real-time data, not 6-month-old exports
AI research, not just AI writing
Apollo's AI writes email copy. LocalStitch's AI actually researches each business—digging through websites, social profiles, and more to answer your custom questions at scale.
- "What services do they offer?"
- "Do they have an online store?"
- "What brands do they carry?"
- Run at scale across your entire list
The Full Breakdown
Different tools for different markets. Here's the honest comparison.
Pricing Comparison
Apollo gets expensive fast when you add seats. LocalStitch is team-wide.
10 searches, 25 credits
Unlimited searches, 5K credits
Unlimited searches, 10K credits
Team-wide pricing. One price, unlimited users. Built for local lead discovery with AI research and waterfall enrichment.
900 credits/year
30K credits/year
48K credits/year
72K credits/year (min 3 users)
Per-seat pricing. A 5-person team on Professional = $395/mo. Great features, but costs add up.
Pick the Right Tool
Choose LocalStitch if you...
- Sell to local businesses (any industry)
- Need to discover businesses, not just search a database
- Want AI that researches each business
- Already have an outreach tool you like
- Want team-wide pricing, not per-seat
Choose Apollo if you...
- Sell to tech companies and enterprises
- Target prospects who are active on LinkedIn
- Want all-in-one (data + sequences + dialer)
- Need buying intent signals
- Budget for per-seat pricing
The Bottom Line
Apollo is a great platform—for enterprise B2B sales. Their database, sequences, and dialer are built for teams selling to tech companies and large organizations.
But if you sell to local businesses, Apollo's database has a blind spot. The owner of a local HVAC company, restaurant, or dental practice isn't in their 275M contacts. They're not on LinkedIn. They're on Google Maps.
LocalStitch is built specifically for local lead generation. Pull any business from Google Maps, enrich with verified contacts, and use AI to research what each business actually does. If your market is local SMBs, LocalStitch finds the leads Apollo can't.
