Pricing analysis Prospeo pricing in a nutshell (USD, per user): Free (100 credits) · Starter $49/mo · Growth $99/mo · Pro $249/mo. Annual billing saves 25%. Credits are per user per month, pooled across the team, and they don't roll over. Full tier breakdown, credit costs and hidden fees analysed below.
Plans
Prospeo ships 4 tiers. Per-seat pricing combined with a credit system for data lookups - the listed price is rarely the real cost.
Prospeo pricing tiers (USD, per user per month) - checked in October 2026 against the vendor's pricing data and help center:
| Plan | Price | Best for | Limits / Inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Evaluation / testing | 100 credits/mo · Basic filters only · 25 max row selection · Limited API · No CSV enrichment |
| Starter | $49/mo per user ($37/mo annual, -25%) | 2,000 credits per user/mo | 2,000 credits per user · Full API access · Seats on every paid plan |
| Growth | $99/mo per user ($74/mo annual, -25%) | 5,000 credits per user/mo (2.5× Starter) | 5,000 credits per user · Job Change Tracking · CRM integrations · Priority support |
| Pro | $249/mo per user ($187/mo annual, -25%) | 15,000 credits per user/mo (3× Growth) | 15,000 credits per user · Per-credit cost $0.0166 · All Growth features |
There are four plans: Free, Starter, Growth and Pro. Credits are added per seat into a shared team pool.
Credits
Prospeo bills actions in credits with non-equal costs. A 5,000-credit plan does NOT mean 5,000 lookups.
How Prospeo charges per action - the credit table buyers should memorise before signing :
| Action | Credits / cost |
|---|---|
| Verified email (find / enrich) | 1 |
| Verified mobile (email included free) | 10 ! |
| Company enrichment | 1 |
| Search API | 1 per page of up to 25 results |
| Re-enrichment within 90 days / no result | 0 ✓ |
| Unused credits | No rollover ! |
The ✓ markers are bundled / free. The ! markers are the line items that compound the bill - watch these closely when sizing your plan. There is no standalone email verifier in the credit table: a revealed email is already verified.

How Prospeo stacks against Derrick, Hunter, and the other tools we benchmarked.
To evaluate Prospeo’s true cost, it’s essential to calculate the real price per action rather than simply the price per credit. Prospeo is billed in USD per user per month; Derrick is billed in euros. Here’s a factual comparison with Derrick, which offers a similar credit-based model.
| Tool | Plan | Credits/month | Price/month | Price per credit | Rollover | Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prospeo | Starter | 2,000 per user | $49 per user | $0.0245 | ✕ | ✓ (per seat) |
| Prospeo | Growth | 5,000 per user | $99 per user | $0.0198 | ✕ | ✓ (per seat) |
| Prospeo | Pro | 15,000 per user | $249 per user | $0.0166 | ✕ | ✓ (per seat) |
| Derrick | STANDARD | 10,000 | €20 | €0.002 | ✓ | ✓ |
| Derrick | PLUS | 25,000 | €47.50 | €0.0019 | ✓ | ✓ |
The number of credits per action differs between Prospeo and Derrick, hence the importance of calculating the final cost (Prospeo Starter, monthly billing):
| Action | Prospeo Credits | Prospeo Starter Cost | Derrick Credits | Derrick Standard Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Email found (verified) | 1 | $0.0245 | 5 | €0.01 |
| Email Verifier (alone) | Not offered separately | N/A | 1 | €0.002 |
| Mobile/Phone Finder | 10 | $0.245 | 200 | €0.40 |
| Company enrichment | 1 | $0.0245 | 1 | €0.002 |
Analysis:
For email finding, Prospeo Starter costs $0.0245 per verified email vs €0.01 with Derrick Standard, so Derrick's per-email amount is about 2.5x lower (nominal amounts, different currencies). On Growth ($0.0198) and Pro ($0.0166) the gap narrows to roughly 2x and 1.7x. Both tools return verified emails with no second step to pay.
For email verification alone, Prospeo's credit table has no standalone verifier, while Derrick verifies an email for 1 credit (€0.002).
For mobile/phone finding, Prospeo costs $0.245 per mobile (Starter plan, monthly billing) vs €0.40 with Derrick Standard. Prospeo is cheaper per mobile in nominal terms; Derrick consumes 200 credits per phone but draws them from the same credit pool as every other action, and unused credits never expire on a paid plan.
Imagine a sales team wanting to enrich 5,000 leads per month with a verified email. Let’s compare real costs:

What's included
All Prospeo plans, including the Free plan, provide access to:
No rollover: unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle. The absence of credit rollover is a major limitation for teams with fluctuating needs, while Derrick credits never expire on a paid plan.
Credit add-ons: they are shared across the team and cannot be bought on Free.
The verdict
Prospeo earns its place when :
- You want a full API from Starter and the MCP server on every plan, including Free
- You need job change tracking (Growth and above) with verified emails
- You can commit annually for -25% and your volume is steady (no rollover means no seasonal slack)
It doesn't earn its place when :
- Your motion is phone-heavy - 10-credit mobiles drain the pool 10× faster than emails
- Your usage is irregular - credits don't roll over
- You need CSV enrichment or full filters on the free plan - Free has basic filters only and no CSV enrichment
Why teams pick Derrick instead :
- You want enrichment in a web app with nothing to install, or in a Google Sheets sidebar - from €20/month, about 2.5× cheaper per verified email than Prospeo Starter (€0.01 vs $0.0245)
- You want credits that never expire while you stay on a paid plan (Prospeo's expire each cycle)
- You want phone + tech alongside email in one tool

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 Prospeo, 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.
Prospeo is priced per user: every paid seat adds its credits to a shared pool. A team of 3 on Growth pays 3 × $99 = $297/month for 15,000 credits, and a team of 3 on Pro pays 3 × $249 = $747/month for 45,000 credits.
In comparison, Derrick offers the STANDARD plan at €20/month with 10,000 credits, and unused credits never expire while you stay on a paid plan.
Yes, Prospeo offers a Free plan with 100 credits per month, renewable monthly. It comes with basic filters only, 25 max row selection, 3 intent topics and limited API access, and without CSV enrichment. 100 credits give up to 100 verified emails.
Derrick also offers a Free plan with 100 credits a month, but email finding is a paid feature: it starts with STANDARD at €20 a month for 10,000 credits, about 2,000 emails found and verified.
Yes, Prospeo credits expire at the end of each billing period with no rollover. If you subscribe to a 5,000-credit seat and only use 3,000, the remaining 2,000 credits are lost. On yearly plans, the full year of credits is granted upfront and resets at the annual renewal.
This limitation can generate waste for teams with fluctuating needs. Derrick credits never expire while you stay on a paid plan, so unused credits carry over from month to month.
Prospeo’s annual billing offers a 25% discount compared to monthly: Starter goes from $49 to $37/month ($441/year), Growth from $99 to $74/month ($888/year) and Pro from $249 to $187/month ($2,241/year), per user.
With an annual subscription, you receive all the credits for the year upfront (e.g., 180,000 credits per Pro seat), and the balance resets at the annual renewal.
Prospeo offers a Free plan (100 credits/month) serving as a permanent free trial to test data quality. However, no free trial period is offered on paid plans, and no refund is offered according to its FAQ.
A verified email costs 1 credit, and a revealed email is already verified. On monthly billing, the cost per email is:
For comparison, the best email enrichment tools like Derrick offer €0.01 per verified email (STANDARD plan at €20/month, 5 credits at €0.002), with credits that never expire on a paid plan.
All paid plans are priced per user, and credits are per user per month, pooled across the team. For example, a 3-seat Pro plan gives 45,000 credits. Credit add-ons are shared across the team and cannot be bought on the Free plan.
Size your plan on the number of seats and each member’s usage, because every extra seat adds both its credits and its price.
Prospeo's help center describes its Chrome extension as working on social profiles, company websites and Gmail, and does not describe a Sales Navigator import. We could not confirm that a Sales Navigator subscription is required, so check the vendor's documentation for your exact workflow.
Derrick works in its web app, a Google Sheets sidebar, an MCP server and a REST API (API and MCP from the PLUS plan).
The pricing page does not detail the rules for changing plans mid-cycle. Keep in mind that unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle, so a change in the middle of a month can strand credits you already paid for.
Prospeo is a solid email finding tool, but its per-user pricing starting at $49/month (Starter plan) and lack of credit rollover can limit its flexibility. Derrick offers a lower-cost alternative with credits that never expire on a paid plan, starting at €20/month, as a web app, a Google Sheets sidebar, an MCP server and a REST API. Try Derrick free with 100 credits to compare data quality.
