Apollo is a prospecting and sales engagement platform: a large cross-industry contact database plus the outbound workflow around it, from sequences and mailbox warmup to a dialer and intent topics, metered by per-seat credits.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is ProviderSignal a replacement for Apollo?+
Not for outreach. Apollo's sequences, dialer, and deliverability tooling are an engagement engine, and if that workflow works for you, keep it. ProviderSignal replaces the intelligence half: instead of filtering a horizontal contact database by industry keyword, you target dental practices by license status, Medicaid participation, DSO affiliation, practice size, and this week's trigger events, then push the list into whatever engagement stack you run.
How is the pricing model different?+
Apollo meters usage in credits, per seat: as of August 2026 their published plans run from 900 credits per year on the free tier to 72,000 on Organization, consumed when you reveal contacts or export. ProviderSignal has no credits. Tiers are flat monthly prices, and searching, viewing, or exporting providers within your plan's caps never draws down a meter.
Can I export ProviderSignal data into Apollo or my CRM?+
Yes. CSV export carries the same fields the dashboard shows, and the API returns full provider records with source attribution. Teams commonly build the target list in ProviderSignal and run the outreach wherever their sequences already live.
Where does ProviderSignal's data come from?+
Ten government sources: the NPPES NPI registry (weekly), state dental boards (weekly), state Medicaid fee schedules, the federal InsureKidsNow participation locator, OIG exclusions (monthly), Medicare Part B claims, NPDB, HRSA shortage designations, Census demographics, and federal grants.
