LeadNumbers vs Apollo.io in the UK
A UK alternative to Apollo.io for teams that want the list built for them
The short answer
For UK outbound the hard part is not finding companies, it is reaching a named decision maker on a number that rings a person. Apollo.io gives your team a searchable database and credits. LeadNumbers screens UK records against your written profile, rejects switchboards, 0800 numbers and extensions, and delivers callable contacts into your inbox and CRM every business day, paced to UK working hours.
Side by side
Where the two approaches differ
| Point | Apollo.io in the UK | LeadNumbers |
|---|---|---|
| UK mobile coverage | Varies by record and credit spend. | A mobile or explicitly direct line is required before a UK record is released. |
| Who builds the list | Your team searches and exports. | You write the profile once, we build and deliver. |
| Calling windows | Not a factor in a database. | Delivery is paced to UK business days so the batch is ready before the calling block. |
| Compliance posture | You manage your own suppression. | Opt-outs and your suppression list are applied before delivery, and CTPS-flagged numbers you report are never re-sent. |
| Cost model | Seats plus credits in dollars. | One monthly volume price for a set number of prospects. |
Product details change often. Check Apollo.io in the UK directly for their current plans and features, then judge both on the same test: how many real conversations each one puts on your calendar this month.

Triggers

FAQ
Questions buyers ask
Do you cover UK mobile numbers?
Yes. UK mobile coverage is one of our strongest markets, and any record without a mobile or an explicitly direct line is held back rather than delivered.
Can I target by UK region or city?
Yes. Your profile can name counties, cities or travel regions, and records outside them are rejected before enrichment.
How do you handle UK opt-outs?
Anyone who opts out is suppressed permanently across your account, and numbers you report as do-not-call are never delivered again.
Dialing partner
Do not want to make the calls yourself?
LeadNumbers builds your list. Our dialing partner ColdCalls.Ca can call it for you. North American reps with 10 or more years of B2B sales experience call in your company name, handle gatekeepers and objections, and book interested buyers straight into your calendar. One blended rate of $1 per dial, prospect data included, with 3,000 dials a month as the recommended starting point.
