LinkedIn and Apollo data tools, $1K a month, self-reported in 2024: built for B2B sales

NioLeads exports B2B lead-search results and finds and verifies professional email addresses. Its $1K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of May 2024.

What it actually sells

NioLeads exports LinkedIn Sales Navigator lead-search results, bulk extracts and exports LinkedIn search results, enriches professional email addresses, and verifies email addresses in real time.

The stated audience is professionals and businesses conducting B2B sales and lead generation. It also states, “Enrich professional email addresses of potential deals”.

How it charges

The product's price could not be identified on the pages we read. Currency amounts appear on the pages, but none could be tied to NioLeads' own pricing.

Where customers come from

NioLeads is available through the Chrome Web Store. Its site says, “Join thousands of satisfied users and start your free trial today”. It also lists API access, team features, Zapier, and integration support.

What stands out

NioLeads says it is “Trusted by over 2000 leading companies worldwide”. Its Chrome Web Store rating is shown as 4.9. The product also claims less than 5% invalid emails out of the box.

From the official site

We are designed specifically for B2B sales, so we do not provide @gmail.com addresses.

Where it sits in the data

NioLeads's $1K a month is higher than 40% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, demand would come from professionals and businesses already conducting B2B sales and lead generation. The buyer would need search-result exports, professional email enrichment, and verification. Browser marketplaces, integrations, and direct outreach would be potential distribution surfaces.

Building this would require reliable data acquisition, enrichment, verification, and export workflows. Platform changes, privacy requirements, support demands, and regulatory obligations would add operational work. Competition would matter because several established workflow areas would sit around the core product.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

NioLeads brings together lead-search exports, professional email enrichment, and real-time email verification for B2B sales and lead generation. The Chrome Web Store, API access, and Zapier support form visible product and distribution surfaces.
