Plans
Captain Data ships 5 tiers. Per-seat pricing combined with a credit system for data lookups - the listed price is rarely the real cost.
Captain Data pricing - checked against the vendor's own pricing page in October 2026 (EUR is the default currency, USD is available):
| Plan | Price | Best for | Limits / Inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free trial | €0 | Evaluation / testing | 100 credits (one-time) · No credit card required |
| Bronze | €150 - €375/month | Small volumes | 2,500 credits = €150 · 5,000 = €225 · 10,000 = €375 |
| Silver | €600 - €2,099/month | Mid volumes | 20,000 credits = €600 · 50,000 = €1,200 · 100,000 = €2,099 |
| Gold | €2,923 - €6,370/month | High volumes | 150,000 credits = €2,923 · 250,000 = €3,748 · 500,000 = €6,370 |
| Platinum to Titanium | €8,430 - €112,000/month | Enterprise volumes | 750K credits = €8,430 · 2M = €13,480 · 20M = €74,800 · 50M = €112,000 |
There is one volume slider, not fixed plans: the vendor labels the bands Bronze to Titanium and the rate per 1K credits falls as you move up. Unused credits do not roll over.
Credits
Captain Data bills actions in credits with non-equal costs. A 5,000-credit plan does NOT mean 5,000 lookups.
How Captain Data charges per action - the credit table buyers should memorise before signing :
| Action | Credits / cost |
|---|---|
| Enrich People | 1 |
| Find People | 2 |
| Enrich Company | 1 |
| Email finder | No price listed ! |
| Phone finder | No price listed ! |
| Unused credits | No rollover ! |
Search and Find Employees actions cost 1 request plus 1 credit per result. The ! markers are the line items that compound the bill - watch these closely when sizing your plan.
Compare
How Captain Data stacks against Derrick, Hunter, and the other tools we benchmarked.
To evaluate Captain Data’s true cost, it’s crucial to compare real cost per action, not just price per credit.
| Action | Captain Data Credits | Captain Data Cost (2,500 credits/month) | Derrick Credits | Derrick Cost STANDARD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn Enrichment | 1 | €0.06 | 1 | €0.002 |
| Find People | 2 | €0.12 | 1-2* | €0.002-0.004 |
| Enrich Company | 1 | €0.06 | 1 | €0.002 |
| Email Finder | No price listed** | Not published | 5 | €0.01 |
| Phone Finder | No price listed** | Not published | 200 | €0.40 |
*Derrick: LinkedIn URL Finder (Lead) = 1 credit, Enriching = 1 additional credit
**Captain Data's pricing page lists no email or phone credit price. The per-credit cost falls with volume (€37.49/1K at 10,000 credits/month).
Scenario: Enrich 1,000 LinkedIn profiles + find people + get company data
Captain Data:
Derrick (STANDARD):
Result: Derrick is about 9x cheaper for this workflow (€20 vs about €180), and its total already includes the 1,000 emails.
What's included
The vendor FAQ states email support in all plans, priority support on Growth plans, and dedicated support with a named account manager on Enterprise plans (and above 500K credits/month).
Important: depending on your use case, you may need:
The verdict
Captain Data earns its place when :
- You are building a product, GTM platform or AI agent that needs people and company data through a REST API or MCP server
- You need very high volumes (rates published up to 50M credits/month, down to €2.24/1K)
- You want no per-seat fees and no tier gates
It doesn't earn its place when :
- You need emails or phones - no email or phone credit price is listed
- You are a small team at entry volumes - €59.99 per 1K credits at 2,500 credits is the highest rate of the grid
- Your volume is irregular - unused credits do not roll over
Why teams pick Derrick instead :
- You want email and phone finding in one tool - a verified work email for 5 credits, from €20/month
- You want a web app, a Google Sheets sidebar, an MCP server and a REST API, not an API only
- You want credits that never expire while you stay on a paid plan (Captain Data credits don't roll over)

Switch to Derrick
Derrick is a web app: nothing to install, no credit card, 100 free credits every month.
Sign up on the Derrick web app. Nothing to install, no credit card required: you start with 100 free credits per month.
Upload the CSV you exported from Captain Data, paste LinkedIn URLs, or import from LinkedIn Sales Navigator. The same actions also run in Google Sheets, in Claude (MCP) and via the API.
Pick the column to enrich and the data you need: emails, phone numbers, LinkedIn data, company info, tech stack. Derrick fills the columns, and the email and phone finders only charge for what they find.
The smallest volume on the vendor's grid is 2,500 credits/month, which costs €150/month (€59.99 per 1K credits, billed monthly). 5,000 credits/month cost €225 and 10,000 credits/month cost €375.
For comparison, Derrick offers a STANDARD plan at €20/month for 10,000 credits, which is about 19x cheaper than Captain Data's 10,000-credit volume.
No permanent free plan. Captain Data offers 100 free credits to start, with no credit card required, but they are one-time and not renewed each month.
Derrick offers a free plan of 100 credits/month with no credit card required, so you can test the tool long-term.
Yes, unused Captain Data credits do not roll over from one month to the next. Annual billing can unlock the full yearly pool upfront.
This contrasts with Derrick, where credits never expire while you stay on a paid plan. If you do not use all of your credits one month, they are still there the next.
For 10,000 basic people enrichments (1 credit/record), you’ll need 10,000 credits/month.

Derrick Standard:
Derrick is about 19x cheaper (€20 vs €375) for the same volume, and unused credits are kept while you stay on a paid plan.
The current Captain Data pricing and API pages do not state that a LinkedIn Sales Navigator subscription is required. The API supports Sales Navigator-style people queries, which describes its search syntax rather than an import of Sales Navigator searches or lists.
If your workflow depends on Sales Navigator, check the vendor's documentation for your exact use case.
Captain Data sells one volume slider (2,500 to 50,000,000 credits/month) rather than named plans. The rules for changing volume mid-cycle are not published on the pricing page, so ask the vendor before committing, especially on annual billing.
If Captain Data pricing is too high for your budget, or you need email and phone finding in the same tool, several alternatives exist:
Captain Data costs €59.99 per 1,000 credits at entry volume (2,500 credits/month). Derrick offers €0.002/credit (€2 per 1,000) on STANDARD, with credits that never expire on a paid plan. Try free (100 credits/month, no credit card) →
