Apollo's database
and Livescraper's web.

Apollo gives you a static B2B database. Livescraper gives you the live web — Maps, Reviews, SERP, Email enrichment. Most teams use both: Apollo for cold contacts, Livescraper for everything Apollo doesn't have.

  • Database lookup: matches whatever Apollo has on file (often gaps for SMBs)
  • Source freshness: 6-12 months stale typically
  • Phone numbers: ~30% match rate for SMBs
  • Restaurant categories: weak SMB coverage
  • Total: $49/mo + manual cleanup
