Heads up - Derrick is a data layer, not a sequencer. It enriches contacts (email, mobile, company, signals) in its web app (or Google Sheets, Claude, API). If you also need cold-email sequencing, dialer or CRM workflow, you'll keep your existing stack (La Growth Machine, Lemlist…) - Derrick replaces only the data-enrichment line of your Vayne bill.

Credits

How Vayne credits work

Vayne bills actions in credits with non-equal costs. A 5,000-credit plan does NOT mean 5,000 lookups.

Profile export (your own session / cookie-less) 1 / 2
Verified email (enrichment credits) 1
Mobile number (enrichment credits) About 12
Sales Navigator subscription Only with your own session
Automatic cleaning + duplicate detection Included all tiers
Enrichment credit packs Valid 30 days
Read the full credit-system breakdown

How Vayne charges per action - Vayne runs two separate credit systems, and buyers should memorise both before signing :

ActionCredits / cost
Profile export, your own Sales Navigator session1 lead credit
Profile export, cookie-less mode (no subscription needed)2 lead credits per delivered profile
Verified email (enrichment)1 enrichment credit !
Mobile number (enrichment)About 12 enrichment credits !
Automatic data cleaningIncluded all tiers ✓
Duplicate detectionIncluded all tiers ✓
Scheduled extractionsIncluded all tiers ✓

The ✓ markers are bundled / free. The ! markers are the line items that compound the bill - enrichment credits are not included in any plan and are valid 30 days - watch these closely when sizing your plan.

Hidden costs

Hidden costs to know before buying Vayne

Things Vayne's pricing page doesn't put in big type.

Sales Navigator: only if you use your own session

Vayne can run with your own Sales Navigator session (1 credit per profile, up to 15,000 profiles a day) or in cookie-less mode, on request on every plan, which supplies the LinkedIn session so you do not need a subscription (2 credits per delivered profile, undelivered ones refunded). No Sales Navigator price appears on the vendor pages : if you use your own session, add that cost on LinkedIn's side.

Email and phone enrichment is NOT included in any plan

Enrichment runs on a separate pay-as-you-go credit balance : 1 credit per verified email and about 12 credits per mobile number (up to 80% of phones found), with credits returned when nothing is found. Packs go from $19 (500 credits) to $2,699 (100,000 credits) and are valid 30 days. A 500-credit pack gives 500 emails or about 41 mobile numbers.

Very low per-lead cost for extraction

Plan leads cost $0.0029 each on Freelance down to $0.00159 on Expand with your own session. In cookie-less mode a delivered profile costs 2 credits, which doubles the per-profile cost. For pure extraction volume, it is a very low price.

Annual = ten times the monthly price (2 months free)

Annual plans are billed once a year at ten times the monthly price (about 17% off), and the monthly lead allowance is pooled over the year. For committed buyers, annual is the obvious choice.

API and MCP server start at Starter

The vendor FAQ gives the REST API, webhooks and the MCP server from Starter, and not on Free. Detection of new prospects on saved searches is included on every paid plan.

Detailed comparison + cost-per-action breakdown

Side-by-side : Vayne against Derrick. Vayne plan credits count profile exports (leads), while Derrick credits cover enrichment, so the credit counts are not like for like. Vayne prices are in USD, Derrick prices in euros :

PlanMonthly priceCredits / month
Vayne Free$0/mo200 leads
Vayne Freelance$29/mo10,000 leads
Vayne Starter$49/mo20,000 leads
Vayne Growth$99/mo50,000 leads
Vayne Expand$159/mo100,000 leads
Derrick FreeFree100
Derrick Standard€20/month10,000
Derrick Scale€320/month200,000

Cost of emails and phones

ActionVayne (enrichment credits)Derrick (STANDARD)
Verified email1 credit = $0.027 to $0.038 depending on the pack5 credits = €0.01
Mobile numberAbout 12 credits = roughly $0.32 to $0.46 depending on the pack200 credits = €0.40

The cleanest way to read this : Vayne is a very cheap way to export profiles, and enrichment is a second bill on top of the plan. Derrick puts extraction-side enrichment and email/phone finding in one credit pool, from €20/month, and email finding is a paid feature (not on the Free plan).

How much does Vayne cost for freelancers?

+

The Freelance plan costs $29/month ($24.17/month on annual billing) for 10,000 leads per month. A Sales Navigator subscription is needed only if you use your own session; cookie-less mode, available on request on every plan, removes that need. Email and phone enrichment are not included and are bought as separate credit packs (from $19). For freelancers who want enrichment in one place, alternatives like Derrick offer plans from €20/month.

Does Vayne have a free plan?

+

Yes, Vayne offers a free plan with 200 leads every month, no credit card and no time limit, with cleaning, duplicate detection and CSV export. API and MCP access are not included on Free, and email/phone enrichment is sold separately.

Do Vayne credits expire?

+

The pricing page states no rollover rule for plan leads : the monthly lead allowance is pooled over the year on annual billing. Enrichment credit packs are valid 30 days. For comparison, Derrick credits never expire while you stay on a paid plan.

Can you use Vayne without Sales Navigator?

+

Yes. In cookie-less mode (available on request on every plan), Vayne supplies the LinkedIn session so you do not need a Sales Navigator subscription; each delivered profile costs 2 credits and undelivered profiles are refunded. A Sales Navigator subscription is needed only when you use your own session (1 credit per profile).

What is Vayne's daily scraping limit?

+

With your own session, Vayne allows extracting up to 15,000 profiles per day. That volume is spread over several days for larger exports.

Does Vayne pricing include email extraction?

+

No. The vendor says email and phone enrichment credits are not included in any plan and are bought separately : 1 credit per verified email, about 12 credits per mobile number, credits returned when nothing is found, packs valid 30 days (from 500 credits for $19 to 100,000 credits for $2,699).

Can you change Vayne plans mid-month?

+

The pricing page does not detail the rules for changing plans mid-cycle. It does say that annual plans are billed once a year at ten times the monthly price and that the monthly allowance is pooled over the year. Ask the vendor before switching, especially from an annual plan.

Is Vayne worth the total cost (plan + enrichment)?

+

It depends on your use case. For pure profile exports, Vayne at $29-$159/month is very cheap per lead. If you also need verified emails and phone numbers, add the pay-as-you-go enrichment credits (1 credit per email, about 12 per mobile), and a Sales Navigator subscription if you use your own session. Compare that total with all-in-one solutions before deciding.

Are there cheaper alternatives to Vayne?

+

For enrichment, yes : Derrick offers plans from €20/month with multi-source lookup, credits that never expire on a paid plan, a web app with nothing to install and a Google Sheets sidebar, plus an MCP server and a REST API. To compare options, check our best LinkedIn scrapers comparison.


Looking for a Vayne alternative with email and phone finding in the same credit pool? Derrick offers complete LinkedIn enrichment (+ email + phone + firmographic) from €20/month, directly in its web app or Google Sheets sidebar. Try Derrick free →
