Apollo

outbound contact database + sequencing

Apollo is a sales-engagement platform built around a large contact database and email/LinkedIn sequencing. It is optimized for SDR teams running cold outbound at scale.

Wavly

Agentic Revenue Operating System

Wavly is an AI revenue workforce: Scout, Closer, Keeper, and Grower — four AI employees on a shared Revenue Graph and Revenue Memory that qualify accounts, convert opportunities, defend customer revenue, and expand ARR with governed autonomy and live CRM attribution. Built for RevOps and pipeline teams from $5M ARR.

Why founders switch

Leave Apollo — hire the revenue workforce.

What hurts on Apollo

  • Seat-based outbound economics compound before pipeline does — headcount multiplies while conversion stays thin.
  • Deliverability and domain reputation become operating risk on every blast.
  • You fund contact volume, not a compounding Graph → Memory → Agents loop.

What you get on Wavly

  • Four AI employees on one Revenue Graph with lifecycle handoffs — not another sequencer.
  • Revenue Memory and Customer Revenue DNA™ so qualification and conversion get smarter over time.
  • Executive $ outcomes with CRM attribution and Scale governance — not activity vanity.
