Scrupp is the best-known name in Apollo scraping content. It publishes 298 English articles, 12 of them about Apollo, is cited in most Google AI Overviews for Apollo queries, and sells an extension, a cloud service and an API under one subscription. Apollo Exporter is narrower: a web app that runs an Apollo export through your own session, verifies every email before download and charges per verified row. This page compares the two on price per 1,000 leads, hit rate, where the job runs and terms, using only what each publishes as of 7 October 2026.
The short answer
- Price. Scrupp’s pricing page lists $29 a month per 1,000 credits, as published on 7 October 2026. Because email finding consumes credits, that works out to roughly $52 to $63 per 1,000 leads with emails. Apollo Exporter is $3 per 1,000 BounceBan-cleaned emails on pricing, pay as you go, with 500 free credits on sign-up.
- Hit rate. Scrupp states a work email for about 36% of rows by its own figure. Apollo Exporter verifies every email with BounceBan and does not charge rows without an email; its measured validity is on methodology.
- Where it runs. Both run in your own Apollo session. Scrupp adds a cloud option and an API; Apollo Exporter adds a dashboard with live status and an API with keys.
- Billing. Scrupp is a monthly subscription. Apollo Exporter is pay as you go, $3 per 1,000 emails, with nothing that renews.
Scrupp at a glance
Scrupp is a lead-data vendor whose Apollo scraper sits beside its LinkedIn and Sales Navigator tools. It ships as a Chrome extension, a cloud option and an API, priced on its pricing page at $29 a month per 1,000 credits, as published on 7 October 2026. Email finding draws on the same credits, so a list with emails costs roughly $52 to $63 per 1,000 leads, the highest effective price among the Apollo scrapers we compared. Scrupp publishes something no other rival does: a stated hit rate, with a work email returned for about 36% of rows. On content it is the benchmark of the niche, with 298 English articles, 12 pages on Apollo specifically, citations in most Google AI Overviews for Apollo queries and a Semrush Authority Score of 27. The extension delivers in your session; cloud delivery times, refund terms, a free trial and a review count were not published on the pages checked.

Scrupp figures as published on 7 October 2026.
Where Scrupp is the better pick
Pick Scrupp if you already pay for it. Teams that use Scrupp for LinkedIn and Sales Navigator get Apollo under the same login, the same credit pool and the same API, and one vendor is simpler than two. Scrupp also publishes the deepest documentation in the niche, so a question about a filter, a field or a limit usually has a written answer, which is why Google’s AI Overviews quote it so often. Its stated 36% hit rate is a point in its favor on honesty: it tells you before you buy that most rows will not carry a work email, which is more than most vendors say. And if you want a monthly subscription rather than packs, because your volume is steady and finance prefers a fixed line, Scrupp’s model fits that. The price is the cost of all of this, and it is high.
Where Apollo Exporter is the better pick
Pick Apollo Exporter if the job is simply to get an Apollo search out as a clean file. The export runs through your own session, so the rows match the search on screen, and the file carries the 25 standard Apollo people fields as CSV or XLSX. Every email is verified with BounceBan before download, rows without an email are not charged, and the measured validity figure is published on the methodology page rather than left as a hit-rate estimate. Pricing is $3 per 1,000 emails, pay as you go, which against Scrupp’s own effective figure of $52 to $63 per 1,000 leads with emails is a wide gap; the exact numbers are on pricing, and 500 free credits let you check the file before paying. There is an API with keys for scripted use and a dashboard with live status. What Apollo Exporter does not do is LinkedIn or Sales Navigator scraping under the same roof; if you need those, Scrupp’s bundle is the simpler buy.
Switching from Scrupp
- Note your renewal date. Scrupp bills monthly, so check when the next charge lands and cancel from your Scrupp account before it if you are moving fully; keep the confirmation.
- 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. Do not run the Scrupp extension on the same Apollo account at the same time.
- Paste the Apollo search URL you last ran through Scrupp 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 work email per 1,000. Scrupp’s own figure is about 36%; Apollo Exporter’s measured figure is on the methodology page, and the best Apollo scrapers comparison covers the rest of the field.
