Why teams pick Derrick over 6sense and TechTarget Priority Engine
3 core reasons SDRs and ops teams switch to Derrick. Click to expand each.
01 Skip the dashboard — enrich straight from formulas
Both 6sense and TechTarget Priority Engine make you leave your spreadsheet to do real work. Derrick stays inside the sheet — formulas trigger enrichment in place, results land in the next column, and your existing pivot tables, filters, and dashboards keep working. For teams already running their pipeline in Sheets, that's hours saved per week on copy-paste alone.
02 Transparent $10/mo : no credit caps, no seat fees
The total-cost-of-ownership math : at 6sense's Custom (~$25k/yr) or TechTarget Priority Engine's ~$75,000/year (custom) entry tier, a 3-seat team runs $150-600/month in year 1. Derrick at $10/mo flat is $120/year total. The break-even on switching pays back in week 2 for most teams.
03 Native MCP support : Claude + ChatGPT call Derrick directly
The AI-agent stack in 2026 looks different : Claude calls MCP-enabled tools directly, no glue code. Derrick was built MCP-native from day one. Pairing 6sense or TechTarget Priority Engine with an AI agent still means setting up Zapier flows, parsing JSON responses, and handling rate limits manually.
