Apollo AI
A sales prospecting tool with a database of more than 200 million contacts, plus AI that researches accounts, writes emails, and analyzes calls.
A sales forecasting and deal-inspection tool that flags at-risk deals, maps buyer relationships, and runs AI agents for reps and managers.
Aviso, sold as Aviso Insights, is a sales forecasting and revenue operations tool that combines forecasting, deal inspection, and conversation intelligence in one product. Its forecasting engine models pipeline data to predict whether a team will hit its number and explains which deals are driving the change. A relationship-mapping feature flags when a deal has only one contact involved, a common reason deals stall, and suggests who else to bring in. It includes an Agent Studio for building custom AI workflows without code and a set of pre-built agents covering roles from business development reps to sales leaders, and it analyzes recorded sales calls for coaching and win-probability signals. It is sold per user and connects to a company's CRM and calendar systems.
This fits a sales team comparing forecasting tools; it competes most directly with Clari on forecasting and pipeline inspection and often costs somewhat less. A sensible starting point is piloting the forecasting and deal inspection modules with the revenue operations team and one sales team's pipeline for a full quarter, checking the forecast against actual results before wider rollout. As a planning figure, third-party data reports a median annual cost around $75,000, roughly in line with or a bit below comparable platforms; confirm current pricing directly, since it is quote-based. As with any AI forecasting tool, the output is only as reliable as the CRM data feeding it, so a team with messy CRM data should plan to invest in cleanup too.

Estimate assumptions: Based on 20 enabled users. This is a planning allowance, not verified product pricing. Confirm the vendor’s billing unit and current price or quote before budgeting.
Benefits have not been estimated: The current research does not estimate potential savings, return on investment, or how long it would take to recover the cost. Earlier benefit estimates are excluded.
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Define what success looks like for a test of Aviso and assign someone to lead it.
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
