Migrate from Apollo

From Apollo to BoomSauce.

Apollo is a great lead database. It's a worse cold email engine. Most teams keep Apollo for data and move sending to BoomSauce.

Why migrate
  • · Per-seat pricing punishes scaling teams ($59–$149/seat/mo)
  • · Shared sending IPs share reputation with every other Apollo tenant
  • · Domain rotation is manual and the warmup network is small
  • · Bouncing one campaign degrades reputation across your whole account
What you keep
  • Your contact database in Apollo (export to CSV when you need it)
  • Apollo's lead search and enrichment
  • Existing CRM integration via webhook
What changes
  • Sending moves to BoomSauce-managed domains and mailboxes
  • Sequences rebuild in BoomSauce (Apollo templates → CSV → import)
  • Reply detection lives at the mailbox level, not the campaign level
  • Billing flips from per-seat subscription to wallet top-up

The migration plan.

  1. 01

    Export your Apollo contacts

    Apollo → Search → Save → Export to CSV. We import the standard Apollo CSV shape directly. Persona/company fields preserved.

  2. 02

    Bring your domain (or buy fresh)

    BYOD is free — we wire SPF/DKIM/DMARC at Cloudflare, you keep the registrar. Or buy a fresh domain at $25/yr; we handle DNS end-to-end.

  3. 03

    Provision mailboxes

    5 mailboxes per domain by default. Per-mailbox warmup starts immediately at 1 email/day, ramping to production over 21 days.

  4. 04

    Rebuild sequences

    Paste your Apollo templates into BoomSauce. Templates are first-touch plain-text by default — no images, no links, no calendar invites — because that's what lands.

  5. 05

    Run both in parallel for one cycle

    Don't cut Apollo on day one. Run a cohort of identical contacts on both platforms for 30 days and compare reply rates. Migrate the rest based on what you see.

Caveats — read before you commit.

  • If you bought Apollo specifically for the lead database (not the sending), keep it for that. We don't replace Apollo's data layer — we replace the sending layer.
  • Bulk reply-tracking history doesn't migrate. Reply data starts fresh on BoomSauce.
