9 Best European Alternatives to Apollo.io (2026)

Apollo.io is a US sales platform that combines a contact and company database with email sequences and other outreach tools, and has a free plan. It is run by ZenLeads, Inc., a remote-first company. It's also known as Apollo. The same list works if you're replacing Lusha and Seamless.AI. The European alternatives that replace it best are lemlist (France) for small teams that want leads and outreach in one tool, Kaspr (France) for small sales teams prospecting on LinkedIn and Snov.io (Ukraine) for small teams on a tight budget.

Why look for a European alternative to Apollo.io?

Apollo.io is headquartered in United States. These are the reasons buyers in Europe most often give for looking elsewhere:

  • Apollo says it is based in the United States and may process and store personal information there. It relies mainly on Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for transfers from Europe.
  • Teams that use only one part of Apollo, such as contact lookup or outreach, can replace it with a European tool built for that job.
  • Apollo's free plan has no time limit. Only a few European options match that: Kaspr, Surfe and Snov.io have free plans with monthly credits.

How this list was made

A company counts as European if it's headquartered in Europe: the EU, the EEA, Switzerland, the UK, or elsewhere in geographic Europe, never Russia or Belarus. Headquarters means where it's run from, not a registered office. Companies founded in Europe but headquartered elsewhere today are listed separately, and a non-European owner is always named.

Each company was checked against its own legal notice, pricing page and data-processing terms, and its G2 page. Headcount, funding and founding year come from LeadWave's database of SaaS companies. No company paid to be listed or ranked.
