Short answer

The Apollo export limit is the cap on how many contacts you can download: exports spend your plan's export credits, and one export from the Apollo interface stops at 10,000 rows. To get past it, split the search into smaller slices, buy a bigger plan, or send the search URL to a done-for-you export.

How the file is built, plainly

  • We never log into Apollo and never ask for your password, cookies or credits.
  • We read the filters in your URL and match them against Getlead's 177M+ people records.
  • Every email gets a live SMTP check by our own verifier, then the team sends the CSV by email.
  • Your count can differ from Apollo's. Fewer matches than your tier means a refund of the difference.

FAQ

Apollo export limit questions

What is the Apollo export limit?

Apollo meters exports with export credits that come with your plan, and a single export from the Apollo interface stops at 10,000 rows. A bigger search has to be split into smaller searches and exported piece by piece, or covered by a plan with more credits. Limits differ by plan, so check your own plan in Apollo.

How do I export more than 10,000 contacts from Apollo?

There are three ways. Split the search into slices under 10,000 rows with extra filters such as location or headcount and export each one, move to a plan with more export credits, or send the search URL to a done-for-you export. Getlead returns up to 50,000 rows in one deduped, SMTP-verified CSV for \$99.

Does this use my Apollo export credits?

No. Getlead never logs into your Apollo account and never asks for a password or cookie. We read the filters inside the search URL and build the file by matching them against Getlead's own database of 177M+ people records, so your credits and your account are untouched.

Will I get exactly the row count Apollo shows?

Not always. The file is built by matching your filters against Getlead's database, so the count can come out higher or lower than the number Apollo shows, and duplicates are removed. If the match is smaller than the tier you paid for, we refund the difference.

Are the emails verified?

Yes. Every email passes a live SMTP handshake with Getlead's own verifier before delivery, and invalid or catch-all addresses are flagged in a status column. Verification lowers bounces but does not guarantee delivery.

How much does it cost and how fast is it?

\$29 for up to 2,500 rows, \$49 for up to 10,000 and \$99 for up to 50,000, paid once through Stripe. Searches above 50,000 rows get a custom quote. The CSV is typically delivered to your checkout email within 24 hours.

Is Getlead affiliated with Apollo.io?

No. Getlead is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Apollo.io. Apollo is named here only to describe the search URL you paste.
