FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about wallet credit, usage, subscriptions, and how Tycoon charges for work.
Does Tycoon have a contact database like Apollo's 275M?
No. Apollo owns its own B2B contact database with 275M contacts and 73M companies, built over years of crawling public sources and waterfall enrichment. That's a real moat. Tycoon doesn't try to replicate it — the AI Head of Sales pulls contacts on demand via connectors (Apollo itself, Hunter, Clearbit/Breeze, LinkedIn-adjacent tools). If your core need is 'a pile of contacts I can filter and export', Apollo is cheaper and more direct than using Tycoon to get them.
Can Tycoon's AI Head of Sales use Apollo?
Yes, via the Composio Apollo connector. The AI Head of Sales can search Apollo's database, pull contacts matching your ICP, enrich records, and feed them into sequences. A common setup: Apollo free or paid tier for the database, Tycoon's AI Head of Sales operating Apollo as a tool and also writing the outbound, handling replies, and coordinating with the CEO for strategy. You get Apollo's data moat plus Tycoon's execution and cross-functional coordination.
Which is cheaper for a bootstrapped founder?
Apollo's free tier is extraordinary — unlimited email sends, 10K contacts stored, basic sequences, 100 mobile dial credits per month. For pure outbound prospecting on zero budget, Apollo wins. Tycoon's free tier is usage-credit-based and not unlimited. BUT Tycoon covers marketing, product, ops, and finance — not just sales. So the real question is 'which problem am I solving'. If it's 'I need outbound infrastructure for free', Apollo. If it's 'I need a whole company', Tycoon.
Is Apollo's AI comparable to Tycoon's?
Different shape. Apollo's AI is purpose-built for sales tasks — personalized email intros from a LinkedIn profile, AI replies to inbound, research summaries on accounts. It's good at what it does. Tycoon's AI is a team with reasoning across functions — the AI Head of Sales can collaborate with the AI CMO on positioning, ask the AI CEO for prioritization, and coordinate with the AI CTO when a deal needs a technical demo. Apollo's AI is a feature; Tycoon's AI is the company.
Should I use both?
Commonly yes, this is the cleanest stack for a bootstrapped founder. Apollo (free or $49 tier) as the contact database and email sending infrastructure. Tycoon as the AI team that runs Apollo inside a broader workflow — the AI Head of Sales uses Apollo to prospect and sequence, the AI CMO provides positioning for the outbound, the AI CEO decides which ICP to focus on this week. Apollo is a sharp tool; Tycoon is the workers who use it.
