AoLeads is the largest Apollo scraper extension on the Chrome Web Store: about 5,000 users, a 4.7 rating from 363 ratings, up to 50,000 leads per search URL, and a flat $5.90 to $8.40 a month. Apollo Exporter is a web app with a bridge extension. Both run inside your own logged-in Apollo session, which is where the similarity ends: Apollo Exporter verifies every email before download, charges $3 per 1,000 emails pay as you go with the BounceBan check included, and shows live status in a dashboard. This page compares the two on what each publishes, as of 7 October 2026.
The short answer
- Price. AoLeads charges a flat $5.90 to $8.40 a month, as published on 7 October 2026, so at volume it is the cheapest per row of the tools we compared. Apollo Exporter charges $3 per 1,000 BounceBan-cleaned emails, pay as you go, on pricing, with 500 free credits on sign-up.
- Verification. AoLeads has no verification step. Apollo Exporter verifies every email with BounceBan before download, and rows without an email are not charged.
- Account. Both run on your own Apollo account, so Apollo’s terms apply to you either way; the legal guide covers what that means.
- Evidence. AoLeads shows 4.7 from 363 ratings and about 5,000 users, with reliability complaints among the reviews. Apollo Exporter publishes measured figures on methodology.
AoLeads at a glance
AoLeads is a Chrome extension that pages through an Apollo people search inside your own account and exports the rows. Its store listing showed about 5,000 users and a 4.7 rating from 363 ratings, and its site prices it at $5.90 to $8.40 a month with a cap of 50,000 leads per search URL, as published on 7 October 2026. Those are the best numbers in the extension category. The weaknesses are on its own site and in its reviews: the testimonials use placeholder-style names such as “John Smith” and “Jane Doe”, the site has no documentation or changelog, and store reviews include complaints that the extension stalls or returns nothing. Because it runs under your login, those stalls are usually Apollo’s “No Results” lockout, which extension users report along with 24-hour blocks, rather than a bug a support desk can fix. No refund rule, free trial or verification step is published.

Where AoLeads is the better pick
Pick AoLeads if volume is high and price is the only line that matters. A flat fee under $9 a month with a 50,000-row cap per search makes the cost per lead very small for anyone pulling tens of thousands of rows, and no per-row tool can match that on headline price. It has the largest user base and the highest rating of any Apollo extension, which is real evidence that it works for many people most of the time. Everything happens inside the browser tab, with no separate dashboard to learn, and if you already run every list through your own email verifier, AoLeads’ lack of a verification step costs you nothing. The conditions are that you can tolerate a stalled run now and then, that you accept the “No Results” and block risk every extension carries, and that you do not need refunds, documentation or support with a named person behind it, since AoLeads publishes none of those.
Where Apollo Exporter is the better pick
Pick Apollo Exporter if you want to pay for rows you can use. Every email is verified with BounceBan before download, rows without an email are not charged, and the file carries the 25 standard Apollo people fields as CSV or XLSX, so the price per usable lead is the price you see rather than a flat fee divided by a list of unknown quality. The export runs through your own session page by page, with live status in the dashboard and an API with keys for scripted use. Pricing is pay as you go, priced per 1,000 on pricing, with 500 free credits and no subscription to cancel. Measured validity and delivery figures sit on the methodology page under a named author. One thing Apollo Exporter does not claim is immunity from Apollo: it runs in your account like AoLeads does, and the exposure under Apollo’s terms is the same, which the legal guide explains rather than skips. The difference is what you get for the risk: a verified file and a bill that matches it.
Switching from AoLeads
- Cancel the AoLeads subscription from your AoLeads account and keep the confirmation; it bills monthly, so time this before the next charge.
- Create an Apollo Exporter account at dashboard.apolloexporter.com. It starts with 500 free credits and asks for no card.
- Install the Apollo Exporter Chrome extension and sign in to Apollo in the same browser. Disable AoLeads first; two extensions paging the same Apollo account at once raise the odds of a “No Results” lockout.
- Paste the Apollo search URL you last ran through AoLeads and start the job. The dashboard shows progress page by page, and the file is ready as CSV or XLSX once verification finishes.
- Compare the two files on rows with a verified email per 1,000. AoLeads publishes no validity figure; Apollo Exporter’s measured one is on the methodology page, and the best Apollo scrapers comparison covers the other extensions.
