On emails, Derrick's Email Finder (5 credits, already verified) is cheaper per email than LinkFinder AI on every plan above. On phones, LinkFinder AI is cheaper per phone than Derrick (200 credits, €0.40 on STANDARD), so a phone-heavy motion can favour LinkFinder AI. LinkFinder AI also charges failed API lookups, and does not state whether subscription credits carry over, while Derrick credits never expire on a paid plan.
Choose LinkFinder AI if you do large-scale phone finding with regular monthly volume and want the REST API, Google Sheets add-on and MCP server on every plan.

Not stated on the vendor's pages : a standalone email verifier, AI enrichment columns, job-change alerts, French company data.
The verdict
LinkFinder AI is a solid option for large-scale phone and email finding with predictable monthly volume. Its features are the same on every plan (REST API, Google Sheets add-on, MCP server), so you only size credits.
Alternative to consider: if you value credits that don’t expire while you stay on a paid plan and an email priced at about €0.01 (5 credits, already verified), Derrick App offers plans from €20/month, in a web app, a Google Sheets add-on, an MCP server and a REST API (MCP and API from the PLUS plan). LinkFinder AI remains attractive for phone finding.

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 Linkfinder, 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.
For a small team (2-3 people) with moderate enrichment needs, the Professional plan at $99/month ($59/month billed annually) is the entry point. It offers 20,000 credits a month, which is about 2,000 business emails or 400 phones (an email costs 10 credits, a phone 50), shared across the team since plans have no seat limit.
No, LinkFinder AI doesn’t offer a permanent free plan. A free trial of 25 one-time credits is available without a credit card to test the platform, which is enough for 2 business emails. For continuous free usage, alternatives like Derrick offer 100 credits/month for free.
LinkFinder AI states that pay-as-you-go packs never expire. For the monthly plans, the vendor does not state whether unused credits carry over (rollover is described as negotiable on Enterprise), so confirm with their support before relying on it.
For comparison, Derrick credits never expire while you stay on a paid plan.
Yes, the plans are available with monthly billing, without the annual discount. Professional costs $99/month with monthly billing vs $59/month billed annually (saves $480/year), and Scale costs $249/month vs $149/month billed annually (saves $1,200/year). A 14-day money-back guarantee applies to the first payment.
If you exhaust your credits before the end of the month, you can wait for the next billing cycle, move to a higher plan, or buy a one-time pay-as-you-go pack ($25 for 1,000 credits, $75 for 3,500, $200 for 10,000), whose credits never expire.
It can be. A phone costs 50 credits, i.e. about $0.1475 per phone on Professional billed annually and about $0.1064 on Scale billed annually. That is cheaper per phone than Derrick (200 credits, €0.40 on STANDARD). Keep in mind that failed API lookups are charged, and that an email costs 10 credits.
No feature differences: all plans provide the same features (REST API, Google Sheets add-on, MCP server, bulk enrichment). The only difference is monthly credit volume. Choose your plan based solely on your volume needs.
LinkFinder AI does not state a Sales Navigator requirement. It enriches the data you give it, for example a CSV you exported from Sales Navigator, but it has no direct import of Sales Navigator searches or lists.
