An Apollo scraper exists because Apollo.io shows you far more people than it lets you export cheaply. Export credits are metered by plan, a search cannot be selected past 50,000 records, and the interface stops rendering after page 100. Apollo Exporter reads the same results you are looking at, page by page, through your own session, and gives you a file you can use the same hour.
Paste a search URL to start
Build the search in Apollo as usual. Copy the URL from the address bar once the filters are applied, paste it below to check it, then send it to the app to export. The checker runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded until you choose to export.

What you pay per 1,000 leads
Buyers compare Apollo scrapers by price per thousand, so here is the table, with each rival’s price taken from its own site on 7 October 2026.
| Service | Model | Per 1,000 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apify "Leads Finder" | Database actor | $1.50 | Its own database, not a live Apollo export; 3.46 rating |
| Apollo Exporter (Growth) | Pay per row, runs in your session | $1.98 | Verified emails included; unverifiable rows not billed |
| Ample Leads | Subscription credits | $2.35 | $2.20 to $2.50 per 1,000; Trustpilot 1.9 from 18 reviews |
| ExportApollo.com | Credits | $3.00 | "Less than $3 per 1,000 leads"; pricing behind login |
| ScraperCity | Web app and API | $3.90 | $0.0039 per lead; card required; auto-enrols in a $149 plan after 7 days |
| ExportApollo.io | Done-for-you order | $4.49 | $4.49 in its table, "$3.49" in its title; CSV by email |
| EvaScrape | Cloud scraper | $9.00 | $9 per 1,000 plus $5 per 1,000 for verification |
| Scrupp | Extension and cloud | $55.00 | $29 a month per 1,000 credits; about $52 to $63 per 1,000 leads with emails |
Rival prices as published on each vendor's own site on 7 October 2026. Prices change; the linked page is authoritative. Apollo Exporter publishes this table and sells one of the services listed.
Apollo Exporter sells one-time packs that never expire. The pricing page has the three packs and a calculator for any list size. Rows that fail email verification are not charged, which matters because the raw validity of Apollo emails is nowhere near 100%.
What is in the file
Every export carries the 25 standard Apollo people fields, as columns with stable names, so the CSV loads straight into Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, HubSpot or Google Sheets.
| Group | Fields |
|---|---|
| Person | First name, last name, full name, title, seniority, department, person LinkedIn URL, city, state, country |
| Contact | Email, email status (verified, likely, catch-all, unavailable), phone number where Apollo shows one to your plan |
| Company | Company name, website, company domain, company LinkedIn URL, industry, headcount, estimated revenue, founded year, HQ city, HQ state, HQ country |
| Export | Apollo contact ID, source search URL, exported-at timestamp (kept separate so your header list is exactly what you ordered) |
Company searches export the company group plus technologies, keywords and funding where Apollo shows them. A sample CSV with the exact headers is on the methodology page.
How the export runs
Paste the search URL
Build the search in Apollo.io as usual, filters and all, and paste the URL from the address bar. People and company searches both work.
Export runs in your session
Our Chrome extension replays the same search through your own logged-in Apollo tab, page by page, at a human pace. No credentials are shared and no third-party account touches your data.
Download a verified CSV
Every email is verified before the file is built. You get all 25 Apollo fields as CSV or XLSX, and you pay only for the rows delivered.
The important design choice is where the work happens. Cloud scrapers and done-for-you sellers log in with their own Apollo accounts, which is why they hit “No Results” walls, queue orders for days and get removed from marketplaces. Apollo Exporter replays the search from inside your Chrome, through the extension, at the pace a person would page through results. You can watch the row count climb and stop at any time.
Verification, delivery time and what we measure
A verification vendor’s study of 100,000 Apollo contacts exported in the first half of 2026 found 73.2% valid, 18.4% catch-all and 5.8% invalid, against Apollo’s own 98% accuracy claim (Cleanlist, BounceZero). That gap is why every email in an Apollo Exporter file is verified before the file is built, and why unverifiable rows are free.
We publish our own measured numbers rather than round claims: the share of rows that return a verified email, the share flagged catch-all, and the time from paste to download for exports of 1,000, 5,000 and 25,000 rows. They live on the methodology page, with the method and the date, and they move only when we rerun the measurement.
Apollo’s limits, in brief
Apollo stops rendering a search after page 100, which is 2,500 rows at 25 per page. A list cannot be selected past 50,000 records, and the API caps at the same figure. Export credits are pooled by plan under the unified system: 900 a year on Free, 30,000 on Basic, 48,000 on Professional and 72,000 on Organization, with an email costing 1 credit and a phone number 8 (Apollo API docs, Apollo Knowledge Base). Apollo Exporter does not spend export credits because it reads the search view rather than Apollo’s export function; the page cap still applies, which is what the splitter in the URL tool is for. The full tables are in the export limits guide.

Apollo Exporter against the other ways to scrape Apollo
| Method | Where it runs | Verification | Typical cost | Main problem |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apollo Exporter | Your own session via extension | Every row, before download | Per 1,000, one-time packs | Page cap of 2,500 rows per search (split with the tool) |
| Chrome extensions (AoLeads, apollo.scraper.plus, scrapejob) | Your own session | None | $6 to $13 a month | “No Results” lockouts, 2,500 to 50,000-row caps, no validity data |
| Cloud paste-URL services (ScraperCity, ExportApollo) | Their accounts | Sometimes, at extra cost | $2.20 to $4.50 per 1,000 | 11 to 48-hour queues, auto-enrolled subscriptions, pricing behind login |
| Apify “Leads Finder” actors | Apify’s database | None | $1.50 per 1,000 | Not a live Apollo export; the live actors were removed in September 2025 |
| Apollo’s native export | Apollo | Apollo’s own status | Export credits by plan | Credits run out fast; 50,000 selection cap |

Who this is for
Lead vendors who resell lists and cannot afford half-invalid files. Agencies running outbound for several clients who need a fresh 5,000-row list every week without a subscription per seat. Founders doing their own outbound who want one clean export, not a $149 plan they forgot to cancel. If you need Sales Navigator or ZoomInfo exports as well, the lead scraper hub covers every source we support.
