Search beyond the database
Apollo is powerful for searching a massive database of known contacts and companies. But when the prospects you need aren’t defined by standard database fields, finding them can require manual research across the web. Lev8 searches beyond the database. Lev8 uses your natural-language criteria to discover the right people and companies across web sources, then research, qualify, enrich, monitor, and reach them in one workflow.

More. Sharper. Faster.
And it actually understands intent.
Get more usable matches with Swarm Search
Lev8 runs a swarm of search agents in parallel, combining quick search, layered semantic search, and broad open-web exploration. Results are ranked and verified together, so you get broader coverage without giving up speed or precision.
Get more reliable identities with Entity Resolution
Lev8 assigns every person and company a unique entity ID and uses it as ground truth across search and enrichment. Supporting evidence is tied back to the same entity, reducing duplicate profiles, identity mix-ups, and hallucinated matches.
Get more relevant results with Intent Verification
Lev8 continuously builds an intent profile from your request, then checks results against both the overall goal and each individual condition. This multi-layer verification keeps results aligned with your real criteria, not just the keywords in your query.
Reach prospects where they hang out
With Lev8, every verified match comes with the channels they actually use. Send personalized outreach over email, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, or WhatsApp — and manage replies and follow-ups in one place.

FAQ About Lev8,
B2B Prospecting
Yes. Lev8 can be an alternative to Apollo for teams that want to discover, research, qualify, enrich, monitor, and reach prospects from a single AI-powered workflow. Apollo is built around a large B2B database and sales engagement platform, while Lev8 takes a more search-first approach to prospect discovery and research.
Apollo combines a large B2B contact database with enrichment, intent signals, AI research, and sales engagement. Lev8 focuses on AI-native search and flexible prospect discovery, allowing you to describe the people, companies, or opportunities you want in plain language and turn the search into enrichment, monitoring, and outreach.
For teams primarily using Apollo for prospect discovery, research, enrichment, and outbound, Lev8 can be a simpler alternative. Apollo may be a better fit if your workflow depends heavily on its large structured B2B database, advanced database filters, and sales engagement infrastructure. Lev8 is better suited to teams that need flexible search and research beyond predefined database fields.
Lev8 takes a different approach. Rather than relying only on a fixed B2B database, Lev8 searches across the web and relevant data sources to discover people and companies based on your specific criteria. It can then enrich and research the results to build a more complete prospect profile.
Lev8 is designed to search beyond traditional database records. When your target depends on information from websites, social platforms, company pages, news, hiring activity, technology changes, or other web sources, Lev8 can use those sources as part of the search and research process.
