Apollo.io alternative with approval-gated agents
An Apollo.io alternative when you want pipeline tables and agent tooling more than Apollo’s all-in-one engagement suite. Appenda focuses on tables, marketplace enrichment, MCP/ACP agents, and approvals before writes. Apollo.io remains stronger as a combined database + sequencer for many outbound teams.
