## Why choose Derrick against Albacross or Lead Forensics

### Skip the dashboard — enrich straight from formulas
If your B2B data ends up in Google Sheets anyway (most teams' do), running it through Albacross or Lead Forensics first means two unnecessary hops : platform → CSV → Sheets. Derrick removes both hops. One add-on, one formula, results in the next column. The unit-of-work shrinks from "run the export" to "drag the formula down".

### Forget per-seat math : $10/mo regardless of scale
The total-cost-of-ownership math : at Albacross's €99/month or Lead Forensics's ~$4,500/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.

### Built for the 2026 AI stack : MCP-first enrichment
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 Albacross or Lead Forensics with an AI agent still means setting up Zapier flows, parsing JSON responses, and handling rate limits manually.

### Can Derrick replace both Albacross and Lead Forensics?
Both Albacross and Lead Forensics compete in the visitor identification category.

For teams whose primary need is enrichment + list-building in Sheets, Derrick at $10/mo replaces 60-80% of typical visitor identification stack workflows. For teams running heavy visitor identification feature surface (sequencer, dialer, AI agents), Derrick complements rather than replaces.
