Apollo hands you a list. Fasrad drafts each email from real context, sends ~100/day staggered, and sorts out the replies worth your time.
The agent drafts each outreach email from real context and sends ~100/day on a human stagger. It sorts the replies so you only see the ones worth answering.
Apollo.io is a contact database and a sequencer bolted together. You filter for VP Eng at Series-B SaaS, export a few hundred rows, drop them into a four-step sequence with a couple of merge tags, and let it fire. The data is fine. The emails all read like they came out of a sequencer, because they did. {First name}, I saw {Company} is hiring. Prospects have seen that template a thousand times.
Fasrad starts from the row you already have. Point the agent at a Google Sheet of leads (from Apollo, LinkedIn, a conference list, wherever) and tell it the angle. It reads each row and can browse the company site or a recent post to find one true detail, then writes the email the way a person would. It sends them spread across the day and watches the inbox. You hear which replies are interested, which are 'not now,' and which are an out-of-office to ignore.
Where the two part ways:
On sourcing, Apollo offers a 275M-contact directory with verified-email filters. Fasrad web-searches and browses to find prospects and pulls public details into a list. Bring it a list or have it build one from the web, and it runs everything after: the drafting, the staggered send, the triage and the follow-up.
Buyers usually compare these adjacent jobs before choosing an AI agent.
Not a static directory. Fasrad sources live: it web-searches and browses to find prospects and pulls public details into a list it can then work, so it builds you a list and runs the whole campaign on it. Apollo provides the scale of a static, pre-verified 275M-row directory. If you already have an Apollo export, hand Fasrad the sheet and it takes over the outreach from there.
Apollo fills {First name} and {Company} from its database row. Fasrad reads the row and, when it helps, browses the company's site or a recent post for one real detail, like a product they just launched, a role they're hiring for or a stat on their homepage. It writes a line around that. The email reads like you researched them, because the agent did.
Both. A new reply fires a trigger and the agent reads it. It tells an interested 'tell me more' apart from a 'not now,' ignores the out-of-office, drafts your response for the warm ones and logs the interaction in its CRM. Sending is the easy half. Triage is where the time goes, and the agent does it.
No. The agent sends from your connected inbox, staggered across the day up to roughly 100, with no single burst. Each email is genuinely different per recipient, so it doesn't carry the fingerprint of a sequencer blast. Per-recipient, human-cadence sending stays deliverable at the volumes one inbox should send, and connecting additional sending inboxes scales it from there.
Export your list to a Google Sheet (Apollo does that natively) and share it with the agent. Tell it the campaign in a sentence and it goes. The sheet is the interface, so you don't rebuild sequences or fields. Setup takes about four minutes start to finish.
Start with a 7-day free trial. Full access, no card needed. Then $49 per month. Apollo prices per seat and tiers the good data and sending volume behind higher plans. Fasrad is one agent that does the drafting, sending, triage and CRM work with no seat math. It's in public beta now.
