## Captain Data plans

### Free trial - €0
*Credits: 100 credits (one-time)/month*

- 100 free credits to start
- No credit card required
- REST API and MCP server access
- No seat minimum

**Catch:** The 100 credits are one-time, not renewed monthly. Enrich People costs 1 credit per record and Find People 2 credits, so the trial covers roughly 50 to 100 records.

### Bronze (2,500 - 10,000 credits/month) - €150 - €375/month
*Annual: Annual billing available*
*Credits: 2,500 - 10,000/month*

- 2,500 credits/month = €150 (€59.99/1K)
- 5,000 credits/month = €225 (€44.99/1K)
- 10,000 credits/month = €375 (€37.49/1K)
- No tier gates, no per-seat fees

**Catch:** Highest per-credit rate of the whole grid (€59.99/1K at 2,500 credits). Unused credits do not roll over.

### Silver (20,000 - 100,000 credits/month) - €600 - €2,099/month
*Annual: Annual billing available*
*Credits: 20,000 - 100,000/month*

- 20,000 credits/month = €600 (€29.99/1K)
- 50,000 credits/month = €1,200 (€23.99/1K)
- 100,000 credits/month = €2,099 (€20.99/1K)
- Vendor shows 50% off the base price at 20,000 credits

**Catch:** The rate keeps falling with volume. Email support is included in all plans; priority support applies to Growth plans.

### Gold (150,000 - 500,000 credits/month) - €2,923 - €6,370/month
*Annual: Annual billing available*
*Credits: 150,000 - 500,000/month*

- 150,000 credits/month = €2,923 (€19.49/1K)
- 250,000 credits/month = €3,748 (€14.99/1K)
- 500,000 credits/month = €6,370 (€12.74/1K)
- Same features as every other volume

**Catch:** Above 500K credits/month the vendor FAQ mentions dedicated support with a named account manager (Enterprise plans).

### Platinum to Titanium (750,000 - 50M credits/month) - €8,430 - €112,000/month
*Annual: Annual commits give volume discounts*
*Credits: 750,000 - 50,000,000/month*

- Platinum: 750K credits = €8,430, 2M credits = €13,480
- Diamond: 5M credits = €28,450, 20M credits = €74,800
- Titanium: 50M credits = €112,000 (€2.24/1K)
- Annual commits: up to 96% off for enterprise volumes (Titanium)

**Catch:** Rates are published up to 50M credits/month. Database export is custom pricing.

## Credit usage by action

- **Enrich People** - 1 credits
- **Find People** - 2 credits
- **Enrich Company** - 1 credits
- **Email finder** - No price listed credits
- **Phone finder** - No price listed credits
- **Unused credits** - No rollover credits

## Hidden costs to watch

### No email or phone price listed
Captain Data now positions itself as a REST API and MCP data product for AI agents and GTM platforms. The pricing page lists enrichment, find and search endpoints only, and no email or phone credit price. If you need emails or phones, you have to source them elsewhere, which adds a second bill. Derrick finds a verified work email for 5 credits (€0.01 at the STANDARD rate) and a phone for 200 credits (€0.40).

### Entry volumes pay the highest per-credit rate
The grid starts at €59.99 per 1K credits (2,500 credits = €150/month). Rates fall with volume: €37.49/1K at 10,000 credits, €20.99/1K at 100,000, €12.74/1K at 500,000. Going from 2,500 to 10,000 credits (4x the volume) costs 2.5x (€150 to €375). The model rewards volume and penalizes low-volume teams.

### Credits don't roll over
Unused credits do not roll over from one month to the next. If your usage is seasonal, you pay for capacity you then lose. Annual billing can unlock the full yearly pool upfront.

### Searches are billed per result
People Search, Company Search and Find Employees cost 1 request plus 1 credit per result returned. A search that returns 1,000 profiles uses 1,000 credits before any enrichment. Find People and Find Company cost 2 credits each.

### A data API, not an all-in-one app
The vendor sells reliable B2B data for product builders, GTM platforms and AI agents through endpoints (people and company enrichment, search, find, find employees). Plan for the work of wiring those endpoints into your own tools.

## Verdict

### Pick Derrick instead if
- You want email and phone finding in the same tool: a verified work email for 5 credits, from €20/month on STANDARD
- You want a web app, a Google Sheets sidebar, an MCP server and a REST API instead of an API only
- You want credits that never expire while you stay on a paid plan (Captain Data credits don't roll over)

## Plan-by-plan breakdown

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.

## How Captain Data's credit system works

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.

## Cost per action - Captain Data vs Derrick

To evaluate Captain Data’s true cost, it’s crucial to compare **real cost per action**, not just price per credit.

### Cost Comparison Table: Real Cost per Action

| 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).

### Calculation for typical workflow: 1,000 leads/month

**Scenario**: Enrich 1,000 LinkedIn profiles + find people + get company data

**Captain Data**:

- 1,000 people enrichments: 1,000 credits
- 1,000 Find People: 2,000 credits
- 1,000 company enrichments: 1,000 credits
- **Total**: 4,000 credits at €44.99/1K = about €180/month
- Emails: no email credit price is listed, so they are not included

**Derrick (STANDARD)**:

- 1,000 LinkedIn URL Finder: 1,000 credits
- 1,000 LinkedIn enrichments: 1,000 credits
- 1,000 Email Finder: 5,000 credits
- **Total**: 7,000 credits = €20 (3,000 credits left over on the 10K plan at €20/month)
- **Total cost**: **€20/month** (with 3,000 credits remaining, kept while you stay on a paid plan)

**Result**: Derrick is about **9x cheaper** for this workflow (€20 vs about €180), and its total already includes the 1,000 emails.

### Why this price difference?

1. **Pricing model**: Captain Data charges its highest per-credit rate on small volumes (€59.99 per 1,000 credits at 2,500 credits/month). Derrick offers a fixed rate (€0.002/credit on the STANDARD plan)
2. **Data scope**: Captain Data lists no email or phone price. [Derrick finds verified work emails (5 credits) and phones (200 credits)](https://app.derrick-app.com) in the same tool
3. **Rollover**: With Captain Data, unused credits are lost each month. Derrick credits never expire while you stay on a paid plan
4. **Surfaces**: Captain Data is a REST API and MCP data product. Derrick is a web app, a Google Sheets add-on (sidebar), an MCP server and a REST API (API and MCP from the PLUS plan)
