Does Clean replace Apollo?
No. Clean does not replace Apollo. Apollo is a contact database, enrichment source, and email sequencer, and Clean keeps using that infrastructure for reach and sending. Clean is the selection and grounding layer in front of it: it profiles each account against 75 buying signals, ranks accounts S through C with evidence, and decides what to say. You keep Apollo and add judgment on top.
Is Clean just an Apollo competitor with a database?
No. Clean is not a contact database, a scraper, or an enrichment spreadsheet, so it does not compete with Apollo on records or coverage. Clean is the judgment layer that decides who to work, why now, and what to say, and it grounds outreach in your own knowledge and warm relationships. It reads the accounts you already pull in Apollo rather than supplying its own list.
How does Clean decide which Apollo accounts to work first?
Clean profiles every account against 75 buying signals across 8 categories for under a dollar per lead, then ranks accounts S through C and shows the evidence behind each score. When you bring an Apollo saved search or list into Clean, that flat set becomes a prioritized queue. Your team works S and A accounts first and lets lower-ranked accounts wait, so Apollo's volume is no longer undifferentiated.
Can I still send through Apollo sequences?
Yes. Clean is built to hand grounded outreach back to Apollo, so you keep Apollo's sequencer, cadence settings, and email infrastructure. Clean's role ends once it has selected the accounts worth working and drafted copy grounded in your knowledge and warm relationships. Apollo then handles delivery and follow-up timing. The division is clear: Clean decides what enters the sequence, Apollo sends it.
How fast can my team start using Clean alongside Apollo?
Clean is in closed beta and onboards a few teams at a time, so access is limited rather than instant. Once you join, Clean indexes your decks, calls, docs, and closed-won notes and connects to the Apollo accounts you work, and teams are usually live within about a week. After that, you point Clean at an Apollo segment and start ranking accounts S through C.
