Is there a free Apollo alternative?

Yes, ManyPI has a free plan with no card. It includes 10,000 AI credits, 60 crawls and 50 email checks a month, and up to 50 leads found by the agent. Sending campaigns starts at $25 a seat a month.

Does ManyPI have a Chrome extension like Apollo?

It doesn't need one. ManyPI works in the web app and inside Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor through its MCP server, so you can find leads from the tools you already have open.

Is there an open source Apollo alternative?

ManyPI isn't open source. Open-source projects cover parts of the job, like scrapers and email verifiers, but you host them yourself and still need a database and something to send from.

What happens to my data if I leave ManyPI?

It stays yours. Export your leads as a CSV whenever you like, and cancel in settings with no lock-in: you keep access until the end of the billing period.
