Why teams switch to Hilead

It’s not about having more features. It’s about needing fewer tools.

One tool instead of four

Apollo gives you data. Lemlist gives you sequences. Stitching them together still means separate bills, separate inboxes, and per-user fees for multichannel. Hilead ships everything in a single seat: lead database, buying signals, multichannel automation, warm-up, and inbox. One login, one bill.

The largest B2B database on the market

1B+ profiles with 40+ intent filters. Apollo advertises 275 M, Lemlist 650 M. More profiles means fewer missed opportunities and less time scraping LinkedIn manually.

Real-time buying signals, not stale lists

Hilead tracks funding rounds, key hires, tech changes, and expansion signals in real-time. You reach buyers the day their intent spikes, not two weeks after your competitors.

Priced per LinkedIn account, not per seat

Both Lemlist and Apollo charge per human seat. Hilead is not priced per seat at all: STARTER is $49 with one LinkedIn account, and what costs more is another SENDING identity ($49/month), not another colleague looking at the pipeline.
