Question 1

What is the difference between SoloRiff and Apollo?

Accepted Answer

Apollo is a contact database: you search its index, build a list, and send sequences you wrote yourself. SoloRiff decides who to contact and what to say — it reads your website, works out the segments, and writes each email individually. If you already have a defined ICP and someone writing copy, Apollo is cheaper. If that work is the bottleneck, it is the part SoloRiff removes.

Question 2

When should I choose Apollo instead?

Accepted Answer

Apollo is the better choice when: You want to search and export contact data yourself; You already know your ICP and have someone writing the copy; You need a large seat-based team working the same database.

Question 3

When is SoloRiff the better fit?

Accepted Answer

SoloRiff is the better choice when: You do not have an SDR and do not want to become one; You want the research and the writing done, not just the sending; You would rather see it work on your own site before paying.
