## Why choose Derrick against 6sense or Terminus

### Sheet-native workflows : no export, no import, no friction
Both 6sense and Terminus 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.

### Forget per-seat math : $10/mo regardless of scale
Pricing comparison : 6sense from Custom (~$25k/yr), Terminus from ~$40,000/year (custom), Derrick at $10/mo flat. Note the unit — both 6sense and Terminus either cap your credits or charge per seat, so a real team's monthly bill is typically 2-5× the headline. Derrick's $10 is the full price regardless of how many rows you enrich.

### Plug Derrick into Claude / ChatGPT via MCP — no glue code
In 2026, AI agents need data tools they can call natively. Derrick speaks MCP out of the box — point Claude at your sheet, ask "enrich these 200 LinkedIn URLs with mobile numbers", done. 6sense and Terminus need either a custom integration or a Zapier middleman for the same workflow.
