Why teams pick Derrick over Apollo and FullEnrich
3 core reasons SDRs and ops teams switch to Derrick. Click to expand each.
01 Native Google Sheets enrichment, no CSV exports
Both Apollo and FullEnrich 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 One price for unlimited rows : $10/month total
The total-cost-of-ownership math : at Apollo's Free / $49/seat/mo or FullEnrich's $59/month 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 Plug Derrick into Claude / ChatGPT via MCP — no glue code
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 Apollo or FullEnrich with an AI agent still means setting up Zapier flows, parsing JSON responses, and handling rate limits manually.

How do Apollo and FullEnrich pricing actually compare in 2026?
+
Apollo entry-paid tier : Basic at $49/seat/mo. Next tier up is Professional ($79/seat/mo). Apollo's free tier : Yes (Free forever). FullEnrich entry-paid tier : Starter at $59/month. Next tier up is Pro ($119/month). FullEnrich's free tier : 25 free credits on signup. Worth noting : Derrick App at $10/month for unlimited rows is the simplest TCO answer if your workflow already lives in Sheets.
What's the biggest reason to pick Apollo over FullEnrich?
+
Massive 250M+ contact database. Apollo's contact graph is one of the deepest in the category, especially for US-based prospects. Buying-intent signals layered on top help SDRs prioritize accounts already researching solutions. (Source : Verified G2 user, RevOps, G2 review (Q1 2026).) If this single capability maps to a real pain in your sales motion, Apollo is the right pick over FullEnrich.
What's the biggest reason to pick FullEnrich over Apollo?
+
Hit rates that single-provider tools can't match. By querying 15+ providers in sequence, FullEnrich routinely lifts email + phone match rates 15-30% above what any single provider delivers alone. For hard-to-find prospects (small companies, EU markets, niche roles), the waterfall is the difference between a working list and a 40% empty one. (Source : Léa M., Demand Gen Lead, G2 review (Feb 2026).) If this is the differentiator that matters most for your stack, FullEnrich is the right pick over Apollo.
Can Derrick replace both Apollo and FullEnrich?
+
Both Apollo and FullEnrich compete in the B2B contact data category. Derrick is data-and-Sheets-native — it doesn't replace a full B2B contact data platform feature-for-feature, but it eliminates the data + spreadsheet layer that teams typically use alongside Apollo or FullEnrich. For teams whose primary need is enrichment + list-building in Sheets, Derrick at $10/mo replaces 60-80% of typical B2B contact data stack workflows. For teams running heavy B2B contact data feature surface (sequencer, dialer, AI agents), Derrick complements rather than replaces.
Beyond Apollo and FullEnrich, what other tools should I evaluate?
+
Four other tools in the same competitive set worth evaluating : Clay, BetterContact, Dropcontact, Findymail. Each has its own positioning trade-off versus Apollo and FullEnrich — Clay typically appears as a direct competitor on G2 review pages, with BetterContact, Dropcontact, Findymail as adjacent picks for different team sizes or use cases. Cross-reference each tool's standalone review for the trade-off detail that matters to your team's specific stack.
