Why Consider SendKit Instead
Saleshandy and Apollo serve different needs. Saleshandy is for high-volume email. Apollo is for sales intelligence.
If you need intent data and a CRM, Apollo is the right tool. If you need maximum volume per dollar, Saleshandy wins. But if deliverability is the bottleneck, neither offers dedicated IPs.

Key takeaways
