Pricing analysis RocketReach sells three individual plans in USD: Essentials (email only), Pro and Ultimate (email + phone), at $39 / $79 / $169 billed monthly or $19 / $52 / $115 per month billed annually. Monthly plans cap lookups (100 / 250 / 1,000 per month); annual plans show unlimited lookups but cap exports (1,200 / 3,600 / 20,000 per year). Team and custom plans are quote-based.
Plans
RocketReach ships 6 tiers. Per-seat pricing combined with a credit system for data lookups - the listed price is rarely the real cost.
RocketReach pricing tiers - verified October 2026 on the vendor's pricing page (USD):
| Plan | Price | Best for | Limits / Inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Evaluation / testing | 5 free lookups, no credit card required |
| Essentials | $39/mo ($19/mo billed annually, $229/yr) | Email-only lookups | Monthly: 100 lookups/month · Annual: unlimited lookups, 1,200 exports/year · no phone numbers |
| Pro | $79/mo ($52/mo billed annually, $619/yr) | Email + phone | Monthly: 250 lookups/month · Annual: unlimited lookups, 3,600 exports/year |
| Ultimate | $169/mo ($115/mo billed annually, $1,379/yr) | Email + phone, higher volume | Monthly: 1,000 lookups/month · Annual: unlimited lookups, 20,000 exports/year |
| Team Plans (2-5 users) | Not published | Small teams | Monthly or annual term |
| Custom / Enterprise | From $6K annually | Larger teams (5+ users) | Annual term, custom volumes |
MCP and API access are listed on the three individual plans. A lookup is used only if RocketReach finds and verifies an email or phone, otherwise it is refunded.
Credits
RocketReach bills actions in credits with non-equal costs. A 5,000-credit plan does NOT mean 5,000 lookups.
How RocketReach charges per action - the credit table buyers should memorise before signing :
| Action | Credits / cost |
|---|---|
| Email lookup (verified) | 1 ✓ |
| Phone lookup (Pro+) | 1 ✓ |
| Nothing verified | Lookup refunded ✓ |
| Lookups on monthly plans | 100 / 250 / 1,000 per month |
| Exports on annual plans | 1,200 / 3,600 / 20,000 per year |
| Unused lookups | Expire at end of term ! |
The ✓ markers are bundled / free. The ! markers are the line items that compound the bill - watch these closely when sizing your plan.

The verdict
RocketReach earns its place when :
- You need email + phone lookups with a predictable price per seat
- Your volume fits the quotas: up to 1,000 lookups a month (Ultimate monthly) or 20,000 exports a year (Ultimate annual)
- You want MCP and API access listed on every individual plan
It doesn't earn its place when :
- You need more than 20,000 exports a year on one seat - you're pushed to team or custom plans (custom starts at $6K annually)
- You need phone numbers on a small budget - Essentials has no phone, so Pro is the floor
- You don't want a 12-month annual commit to get the lowest price
Why teams pick Derrick instead :
- You want enrichment in a web app with nothing to install, or right in Google Sheets
- You want from €20/month with credits spent row by row, and credits that never expire while you stay on a paid plan
- You want month-to-month billing with no annual lock-in to test the platform

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 RocketReach, 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.
Individual plans are priced per seat. For a team of 3 sales reps on Pro, that is $237/month on monthly billing ($79 × 3) or $156/month billed annually ($52 × 3, $1,857/year). RocketReach also sells Team Plans for 2-5 users, monthly or annual, but publishes no price for them.
In comparison, Derrick offers a shared credit model: a team of 3 people can use the STANDARD plan (€20/month) or PLUS plan (€47.50/month) with a common credit pool.
Yes, RocketReach offers 5 free lookups upon signup, no credit card required. This allows testing the interface and data quality before subscribing to a paid plan. RocketReach doesn't say whether the 5 lookups are one-time or monthly.
In comparison, Derrick offers a FREE plan with 100 credits/month, although finding emails requires a paid plan (STANDARD, €20/month).
Yes, RocketReach lookups expire at the end of the applicable subscription term. Monthly plans include 100 / 250 / 1,000 lookups per month (Essentials / Pro / Ultimate); annual plans show unlimited lookups but cap exports at 1,200 / 3,600 / 20,000 per year. There is no rollover.
This is a difference with Derrick, whose credits never expire while you stay on a paid plan: your credits accumulate month over month, ideal for fluctuating needs.
RocketReach offers monthly billing on all three individual plans, and annual billing at a lower monthly price ($19 / $52 / $115 per month billed annually versus $39 / $79 / $169 monthly). Annual billing means a 12-month commit.
The vendor pages we checked don't detail upgrade, downgrade and cancellation rules, so confirm them with RocketReach before you commit to an annual term. Derrick is billed monthly, and you can change plans month to month.
For 10,000 email lookups per month with RocketReach:
RocketReach:
Derrick:
RocketReach charges 1 lookup per verified email or phone, and refunds the lookup if nothing is verified. Phone numbers are available from the Pro plan. Phone reliability varies by market and role, so test on a sample of your own list before committing.
If phone finding is critical for your business, note that Derrick consumes 200 credits per phone (€0.40 on STANDARD). Derrick phone finder uses a multi-source lookup to maximize the success rate.
This is a frequent source of confusion among RocketReach users:
Real example: on Pro billed annually, you can look up as many contacts as you want, but only 3,600 exports are included for the entire year, meaning 300/month.
Result: you must choose which contacts to export, or upgrade to Ultimate.
