Apollo Gives You Quantity. Optimus Gives You Shippers.
Stop wasting hours calling lists of 'manufacturers' who don't ship freight. Optimus filters out the noise so you only dial active shippers.
Filtered by Freight
Apollo has 200M contacts, but 99% don't move loads. We only show you companies with verified shipping volume.
Direct Dials that Work
Apollo relies on 'community' data that is often outdated. We verify mobile numbers specifically for logistics decision makers.
Smart Filtering
Stop guessing with SIC codes. Filter directly by 'Refrigerated', 'Flatbed', 'Hazmat', and 'Lane'.
The Difference is in the Details
Generalist tools treat a freight broker the same as a SaaS sales rep. We know your workflow is different.
- Apollo.io: You filter by 'Manufacturing' (includes tiny shops).
- Optimus: You filter by 'Volume: 10+ loads/month'.
- Apollo.io: Crowdsourced data = high bounce rate.
- Optimus: Verified data = reliable direct dials.
- Apollo.io: Great for spamming thousands of emails.
- Optimus: Great for having real conversations with shippers.
