Bread & Butter vs Apollo
Apollo finds people.
Bread & Butter tells you who’s ready.
These two get compared a lot, but they do different jobs. Apollo helps you build lists and reach out to people who haven’t heard of you yet.
Bread & Butter shows you who’s already on your website, what they looked at, and who to contact first. Plenty of teams run both.
Two jobs
One finds new people. The other reads the people who came to you.
Apollo starts with a search and a contact list. Bread & Butter starts with a visit to your site, and tells you which of those visitors are ready to talk. Keep the one, add the other.

01When outreach lands
Good outreach doesn’t always get a reply. It gets a visit.
Someone you contacted through Apollo reads your email, says nothing, and comes to your site two days later. Then again. When they raise a hand, Bread & Butter ties those visits to one person and researches them.
The Intelligence Brief arrives in your CRM, Slack, email or Google Sheets: who they are, what they read, their Focused Score and a first line to open with. Refreshed every time they come back. Learn more
02Which outreach works
Judge your outbound by the people it brings back.
Reply rates only tell part of the story. Tag the links in your outreach, and Bread & Butter shows which sequence, list or channel brought people to your site, and how many of them raised a hand.
Over time every channel is ranked against your own site: scale it, watch it or look into it. You stop guessing which list is working. Learn more
What it costs
Priced per website, not per seat.
Bigger teams get this intelligence from a stack of tools, plus someone to join them up. Here’s what that stack costs before anyone has researched a single lead.
