Signado vs Apollo
Apollo helps you find contact data and run outreach. Signado finds people talking about problems you solve, keeps what they said, and tells you what to do next.
Apollo is a large contact database with outreach tools. You can search by company, role, location, company size, technology, and many other fields. Apollo says its database has more than 240 million contacts and more than 65 search filters.
It also gives you emails, phone numbers, data enrichment, email sequences, calling, and CRM links. This makes it useful when you already know the type of company and person you want to contact.
Apollo says it checks and updates its data in real time. It also offers intent data, website visitor tools, alerts, and scoring. These features help you narrow a large list before you contact anyone.
A current email, job title, or company record can show that a person fits your search. It does not show that the person wants to buy now.
Apollo's intent data, visitor tools, alerts, and scores can show more interest. But they do not always give you the exact words a named person used when talking about the problem.
You can still end up contacting many people who fit your filters but have shown no clear interest. You must decide why now is the right time and what to say.
Signado starts from a different point. It does not begin with a contact directory. It begins with people talking about the problem you solve.
Signado watches LinkedIn posts and comments around the keywords, creators, competitors, company pages, and posts you choose.
When it finds a person, it enriches the person and company. It checks both against the profile of the business you want to reach. It keeps the post or comment beside the lead, so you can see why that person appeared.
Each lead gets a clear next move. Signado tells you to send a direct message, leave a useful comment so other potential buyers can see it, or skip the lead.
Signado never connects to your LinkedIn account. It does not ask for your login, cookies, or a browser extension.

Apollo works best when you already know the type of person you want. You set the filters, build a list, reveal the contact details, and decide who to contact.
Signado starts with the problem instead of the list. You add the words, people, company pages, or posts that matter in your market. Signado finds people in those conversations, then enriches and checks them.
The result is different. Apollo gives you a large group of people who may fit. Signado gives you a smaller group with the LinkedIn post or comment that explains why each person is there. Apollo is stronger for reach. Signado is stronger when you want context before you contact someone.
Apollo ranges from $0 to $119 per user a month on annual billing. Signado ranges from $29 to $349 a month for one workspace.
