An Apollo Alternative for Local & Creator Leads
Apollo (apollo.io) is a B2B sales platform: a large database of companies and professionals with corporate emails and job titles, plus sequencing tools to work them. If you sell to defined roles at registered companies — say, marketing managers at SaaS firms — Apollo's database and filters are hard to beat, and none of this is a knock on it.
1Scrape solves a different half of lead gen. It scrapes live public data from Google Maps, TikTok, and Instagram — the local businesses and creators that rarely sit in a B2B database at all — and returns their public email, phone, and website in a clean CSV. Flat $8 per 1,000 results, $5.00 free to start, no subscription.
How they compare
Data source
Apollo serves records from a prebuilt B2B database of companies and professionals. 1Scrape scrapes live public listings and profiles on Google Maps, TikTok, and Instagram — data that's current because it comes straight from the source.
Who you'll find
Apollo is strongest for corporate roles and registered companies. 1Scrape reaches local, owner-run businesses and individual creators — the plumber, the salon, the UGC creator — who often have no B2B database entry.
Social & Maps
Apollo doesn't scrape TikTok, Instagram, or Google Maps. That's exactly 1Scrape's lane: creator emails from bios, and local-business phones and emails from Maps.
Pricing
Apollo sells seat-based subscription tiers with credit limits. 1Scrape is $8 per 1,000 results, billed per result scraped, no seats and no subscription.
What you get back
1Scrape hands you a spreadsheet-ready CSV with email, phone, and bio-link or website columns — ready for your own CRM or sequencer.
When Apollo is the better pick
If your buyers are professionals at established companies, Apollo is very likely the better tool. A curated B2B database gives you job titles, company firmographics, and org structure that public social profiles and Maps listings simply don't carry — and its built-in sequencing keeps outreach in one place. For classic B2B prospecting, that's a real edge 1Scrape doesn't match.
1Scrape is the better pick when your prospects aren't in that database: local service businesses you find on Google Maps, or creators you find by hashtag on TikTok and Instagram. Those are the leads a B2B tool tends to miss entirely.
Reach the leads a database misses
The two tools often pair rather than compete. Use Apollo for corporate B2B, and use 1Scrape when the target is local or creator-based: run "roofing companies in Dallas" on Google Maps for a phone-ready list, or scrape a niche hashtag with "only profiles with an email" for creator contacts. Both take minutes, and the $5.00 free credits cover a real test before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
Is 1Scrape a good Apollo alternative?
It depends on who you sell to. For local businesses and social creators, yes — 1Scrape finds and contacts leads that a B2B database usually doesn't list, straight from Google Maps, TikTok, and Instagram. For selling to corporate job titles at registered companies, Apollo's database is the stronger tool; the two solve different halves of lead gen.
Does 1Scrape have a B2B contact database like Apollo?
No — and that's the key difference. Apollo serves records from a stored database; 1Scrape scrapes public data live from Maps and social profiles. That means the contact info is current and includes local businesses and creators no database has catalogued, but it doesn't come with the firmographics or job titles a B2B database carries.
Which should I choose?
Choose Apollo for classic B2B outreach to professionals at companies. Choose 1Scrape when your leads are local service businesses or individual creators — or use both, letting Apollo handle corporate targets while 1Scrape covers everyone on Google Maps, TikTok, and Instagram.
Where do the emails and phones come from?
From public sources: the email or phone a creator lists in a public bio, and for Google Maps, the listing's public phone plus emails enrichment pulls from the business's own website. If someone has published nothing, that column is simply empty — 1Scrape reads public data and never guesses addresses.
Is this legal for outreach?
The data is public business and profile information people choose to publish. Outreach is still governed by laws like CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and CCPA, so keep it relevant, honor opt-outs, and factor in local rules when contacting people in the EU or California. General information, not legal advice.
