# Sales Navigator vs Apollo
> Sales Navigator is LinkedIn search. Apollo is a contact graph. Omentir is send-plus-discovery on LinkedIn. Three objects. One common export ritual that still fails.

**Verdict:** Keep Navigator for Boolean craft. Keep Apollo for the graph and sequences they sell. Add Omentir when either export still never became a LinkedIn conversation.

Paid search versus a data graph versus a workspace that sends.

## The export ritual is the hidden product

Teams pay for Navigator, export to Apollo or a sheet, enrich, then upload to Instantly. Each hop is a chance to do nothing. Omentir exists to skip hops, not to win a search-UI contest with LinkedIn.

## You can keep both and still need send

Ops teams have reasons to keep Apollo as a system of record. Reps have reasons to keep Navigator. Neither fact means the founder has threads. Name which object you are renewing.

## Comparison

| Dimension | Sales Navigator | Apollo | Omentir |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Object | LinkedIn sales search and saved leads | Commercial contact graph plus the rest of their platform | Agents, campaigns, inbox on LinkedIn |
| Goes stale when | You stop opening the saved search | People change jobs and the row is not refreshed | You stop reviewing replies. The list keeps refilling if the agent is on |
| Sends LinkedIn for you | No, not as a sequencer | Their sequences are their product. Confirm LinkedIn depth on apollo.io | Yes, from the connected profile, with limits |

## Frequently asked questions

**Is Apollo a Sales Navigator alternative?**

For contact data and some search, buyers treat it that way. It is not LinkedIn's identity graph. Confirm both products before you cancel a seat you still use for Boolean.

**Does Omentir replace both?**

Only if you did not need the graph or the filter UI. Most teams should not cancel Navigator on day one of Omentir.

## Name which renewal actually produces meetings

If neither does, run one Omentir ICP before you add a third data bill.
