Boosta vs Apollo
Where Boosta is stronger
Australian data that actually exists
Apollo has strong US coverage but patchy Australian data. Many Australian SMEs - especially regional businesses and those outside tech - are missing entirely. Boosta's 1.5M+ Australian businesses were built from the ground up for this market.
Business intelligence, not just contacts
Apollo finds email addresses, phone numbers, and job titles. Useful. But it tells you almost nothing about what a business actually does. Boosta gives you structured intelligence on products, services, technology, and market positioning.
Matching that explains itself
Apollo has lead scoring based on firmographic filters. Boosta uses semantic matching to understand fit at a deeper level - and every match comes with a plain-English explanation of why the prospect is relevant to you.
Where Apollo is stronger
Contact data
If you need individual email addresses and phone numbers for named contacts, Apollo has a larger global people database.
Global coverage
If you sell internationally across the US, Europe, and APAC, Apollo covers more countries in a single tool.
CRM integrations
Apollo has mature integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, and most major sales platforms.
Choose Boosta if you sell to Australian businesses and want intelligence that powers real personalisation.
Choose Apollo if you need a global contact database with individual email addresses and phone numbers.
Boosta vs ZoomInfo
Where Boosta is stronger
The long tail of Australian businesses
ZoomInfo is built for US enterprise and mid-market. Its Australian SME coverage is thin. Boosta covers 1.5M+ Australian businesses, including the ones ZoomInfo has never heard of.
Pricing that makes sense
ZoomInfo starts at roughly $15,000/year. Boosta starts at $0/month. That makes Boosta accessible to solo sellers, small agencies, and startups - not just enterprise teams with big budgets.
Two-Sided Intelligence
ZoomInfo gives you data about prospects. Boosta also analyses your business. This enables matching based on genuine alignment - not just firmographic filters.
Where ZoomInfo is stronger
Enterprise org charts
For large accounts with complex hierarchies, ZoomInfo provides deeper organisational data including reporting structures and technographics.
Global scale
Hundreds of millions of contacts across every continent. If you prospect into Fortune 500 companies globally, ZoomInfo is purpose-built for that.
Intent data
ZoomInfo identifies companies actively researching topics relevant to your product through bidstream-based intent signals.
Choose Boosta if you are an Australian team that wants deep business intelligence and AI matching at a price that makes sense.
Choose ZoomInfo if you are an enterprise team that needs global coverage, org charts, and intent data - and has the budget.
Boosta vs LinkedIn Sales Navigator
Where Boosta is stronger
Business-level intelligence
Sales Navigator excels at finding people. But B2B sales often starts with finding the right business. Boosta starts there - analysing what the company does, how it is positioned, and why it might need what you sell.
AI that finds, not just filters
Sales Navigator searches are database queries with filters. Boosta uses AI to understand your business and surface prospects based on genuine fit - including matches you would never think to search for.
Deep business intelligence
Sales Navigator shows basic company info. Boosta analyses products, tech stack, reviews, and market position to give you a full intelligence profile on every prospect.
Where LinkedIn Sales Navigator is stronger
Individual contact depth
No one matches LinkedIn for data on individual professionals: career history, mutual connections, recent activity, and posts.
Warm-path intelligence
Shared connections, job changes, and company news make Sales Navigator valuable for relationship-driven selling.
Platform credibility
LinkedIn is a trusted platform. An InMail carries implicit credibility that a cold email from an unknown sender does not.
Choose Boosta if you want business-level intelligence and AI matching for the Australian market.
Choose LinkedIn Sales Navigator if your approach is relationship-driven and you prospect through warm introductions.
Why teams switch to Boosta
Australian-first data
Not a global database with Australian records bolted on. 1.5M+ Australian businesses are the primary dataset, with depth and freshness that global tools cannot match here.
Two-Sided Intelligence
Other tools understand your prospects. Only Boosta also understands your business. That is what makes the matching actually useful - it is based on genuine alignment, not just filters.
Match explanations you can act on
When Boosta recommends a prospect, it tells you why in plain English. Not a score. Not a label. A specific explanation you can act on.
Pricing at a glance
An honest look at what each platform costs. Some are cheaper at the base tier. We think the value equation changes when you factor in data quality for the Australian market.
| Boosta | Apollo | ZoomInfo | LinkedInSales Navigator | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Generous usage | Limited | ||
| Starting price | $79/mo | ~$49/moas of April 2026 | ~$14,995/yras of April 2026 | ~$99/moas of April 2026 |
| Australian data quality | Deep (1.5M+) | Limited | Limited | GoodUser-generated |
