Comparison
Apollo gives you the tools.
Cordavo gives you the output.
Apollo is a powerful platform for teams that want to run their own research. Cordavo is for teams that want researched accounts delivered daily.
Let's be honest about Apollo
Apollo's AI Research is capable. It can search the web, generate insights, and create personalized fields. The question isn't whether Apollo can do research - it's who runs it.
With Apollo
You define prompts, manage credits, review outputs, and decide what meets your bar. Great if you want control.
With Cordavo
We do that work. You get a short list of accounts that already passed our filter, with briefs ready to use.
Quick verdict
Choose Cordavo if you want research delivered without managing credits, QAing outputs, or iterating on prompts. Choose Apollo if you prefer full control and have time to configure and review AI research yourself.

No tracking usage, no surprise overages, no deciding which accounts are "worth" a research credit.
Output QA
