When teams pick Outvid alongside Apollo
Apollo data, Outvid video
Pull your account list out of Apollo, drop it into Outvid, and run a personalized video sequence. Apollo for the data; Outvid for the outreach that actually earns the reply.
Higher reply rate on tier-1 accounts
Apollo's volume model works for low-ACV outbound. For your top 10–200 named accounts where the deal is worth $20K+, personalized video lifts reply rate above what text email can do.
Your face, your voice — not a generic SDR template
Apollo emails sound like every other Apollo email. An AI clone puts you in front of the prospect — real face, real voice, research-driven script. Pattern-break.
Outvid vs Apollo: what teams ask before switching
Is Outvid an Apollo replacement?
No, Outvid is a complement to Apollo. Apollo is your data and volume email layer. Outvid is your personalized video layer for the high-value subset of accounts where reply rate matters more than send count. Many teams run both.
Can I import an Apollo list into Outvid?
Yes. Export your Apollo list as CSV and import into Outvid. Outvid then runs prospect research per row, generates a unique script per prospect, and sends a personalized video to each — all from your AI clone.
Does Outvid replace Apollo's email sequencer?
For your top accounts, yes — Outvid handles email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Instagram with branching logic and personalized video at every step. For high-volume sends to broad lists, Apollo's sequencer is purpose-built for that.
Why use video on top of Apollo email?
Apollo emails are text. Personalized video — a real face speaking a research-driven script that mentions the prospect by name and references their actual work — earns higher reply rates from the same sending effort because it's harder to ignore than text.
Use Apollo for the data. Use Outvid for the outreach.
