Apollo: B2B contact database with company search, emails and outreach sequences.

Scite: Research search that shows how other studies support or dispute a finding.

Emailing EU contacts from the database falls under GDPR: write only on legitimate interest and with an easy way to unsubscribe
Bulk email from your main domain ruins its reputation and your client emails land in spam: use a separate domain
Job titles and contacts go stale: check the person on LinkedIn before writing

Citation classification is automatic and gets complex sentences wrong: open the context of the citation
Write queries in English, as non-English papers are scarce in the database
One study is not proof yet: look for reviews and meta-analyses

They come out even for most roles, so the price and the interface you already use decide.

Neither publishes a fixed monthly price, so both are quoted on request.

Apollo: Yes. A free plan with limited credits for contacts and emails. Scite: Yes. A trial.
