Yes. You pay $49 once and own the script forever. No monthly fees, no renewal, no credits. You do need a free Hunter.io account for email lookups - their free tier gives you 25 searches/month, which is enough for most use cases. If you need more, Hunter.io's paid plans start at $49/month.
Apollo has a larger database with more verified contacts. Rova is better for SMB and startup prospecting where companies have public contact info on their websites. For Fortune 500 companies or highly targeted outreach at scale, Apollo may still be worth it. For most early-stage outbound, Rova covers everything you need.
