Apollo vs Kaspr vs Derrick in short. Apollo: B2B sales intelligence and outreach. Kaspr: linkedIn-first phone and email finder for EU prospecting (Cognism subsidiary). Derrick is a B2B enrichment web app (nothing to install), also available as a Google Sheets add-on, a REST API and an MCP server (Claude and ChatGPT drive enrichment for you). It is free forever with 100 credits/month, with paid plans from €9/month, and it runs on its own or alongside Apollo or Kaspr.
Apollo is a B2B database vendor - seat-time + record access charged per user, per year. The side-by-side comparison below tracks Apollo's total-cost-of-ownership across team growth and lookup volume against Derrick's credit-pool model where the cost moves with usage, not headcount.

Why Derrick wins02 / 10
Why teams pick Derrick over Apollo and Kaspr
3 core reasons SDRs and ops teams switch to Derrick. Click to expand each.
01
Save time with web app enrichment pace
＋
Apollo and Kaspr push data through separate workflows, but neither offers native Google Sheets enrichment without export steps or complex setup. Derrick makes enrichment in the web app (or in Google Sheets, Claude and the API), eliminating CSV exports and manual imports. This native pace saves 5-10 hours per month by enabling instant, 50+ attribute enrichment per contact directly in the web app (or in your sheet, Claude and the API). A typical use case is real-time record updates as you prospect, without leaving the web app or Sheets or juggling multiple tools.
02
Comprehensive enrichment depth beyond contact data alone
＋
Apollo and Kaspr focus on gathering contact data, but their enrichment depth stops short of comprehensive account profiles and multi-attribute insights. Derrick uniquely expands beyond basic contacts by unifying company intelligence, technographics, and AI-powered scoring and summarization in the web app (or in Sheets, Claude and the API), enabling richer profiles without leaving the platform. This translates to measurable efficiency gains: up to 50+ enrichment attributes per record, real-time validation, and monthly credits that scale with usage. Use cases like faster account qualification and deeper ICP refinement become practical and repeatable with Derrick.
03
Real-time data quality assurance at record level certainty
＋
Real-time data quality assurance at record level certainty sets Derrick apart by delivering granular validation that Apollo and Kaspr cannot guarantee across every record. Apollo’s review notes limited real-time enrichment depth, while Kaspr focuses on contact verification with inconsistent breadth beyond basic contact data. Derrick ensures per-record accuracy with web app workflow (also in Google Sheets, Claude and the API), real-time email validation, and AI-powered scoring to maintain record-level certainty. Practically, teams save hours monthly and reduce failed outreach by up to 20-30% as data quality increases, with credits that are easily trackable and reportable.

Honest comparison03 / 10
What each tool does better
We're upfront - every tool has strengths. Here's where Apollo, Kaspr, and Derrick each genuinely win.
Most teams pay 2-5x more on add-ons (extra seats, phone credits, integrations) than on the headline base price. Derrick keeps it to one transparent credit model.
Apollo offers tiered pricing with a free tier and paid plans starting at a competitive entry point; for exact numbers and plan details, view the full pricing breakdown on the dedicated pricing page.
While other tools pile on features, complex setups, and pricing tiers that grow faster than your results, Derrick focuses on what actually matters:
getting usable leads, in a web app with nothing to install (also in Google Sheets, Claude and the API).
No heavy workflows, No endless configuration. No learning curve.
Best for: EU-focused SDRs needing LinkedIn phone numbers
Kaspr offers credit-based pricing with an entry-level tier and subsequent paid plans, exposing a straightforward path from initial free credits to scalable options; see full pricing breakdown for complete details and plan specifics.
Derrick is a web app - nothing to install, no formulas to learn, no pipelines to migrate. Sign up and you're enriching in under a minute.

How does Derrick compare to Apollo for data enrichment and automation?
+
Derrick approaches data enrichment through native web app, Google Sheets, Claude (MCP) and API integration with real-time email validation and 50+ contact and company attributes, eliminating the need for external platforms or CSV exports. Apollo focuses on scale with its massive contact database and multi-channel outreach capabilities but requires more manual verification across industries. Derrick's AI-powered enrichment using Claude and ChatGPT enables automatic scoring and segmentation, while Apollo prioritizes breadth over depth. For teams prioritizing efficiency and flexibility, Derrick's rollover credits and no credit card requirement for the free tier offer advantages over Apollo's rigid consumption model, particularly when enrichment quality and ease of use matter more than database size.
Is Derrick a better alternative to Kaspr for LinkedIn leads?
+
Derrick offers a more streamlined approach for LinkedIn lead enrichment compared to Kaspr. While Kaspr focuses on phone verification, it requires manual validation and lacks comprehensive company intelligence. Derrick provides 50+ enrichment attributes per contact directly in the web app (or in Google Sheets, Claude and the API), eliminating the need for LinkedIn Sales Navigator or external platforms. With real-time email validation, integrated AI scoring, and rollover credits, Derrick delivers deeper prospect insights at lower total cost, making it ideal for teams seeking efficient, multi-dimensional lead enrichment without complexity.
Derrick vs Apollo vs Kaspr: which is the best overall comparison?
+
Derrick, Apollo, and Kaspr each serve distinct prospecting needs. Apollo offers its massive 250-million-contact database and integrated CRM workflows, ideal for high-volume outbound teams. Kaspr specializes in LinkedIn-native phone verification with seamless calling features. Derrick stands out as the only web app solution (also in Google Sheets, Claude and the API), eliminating CSV exports and complex integrations while offering AI-powered enrichment with Claude and ChatGPT, rollover credits, and no credit card required for free access. Choose based on your workflow: Apollo for scale, Kaspr for phone-first prospecting, or Derrick for web-app-first efficiency and flexibility.
Which offers better pricing: Derrick or Kaspr?
+
When comparing pricing between Derrick and Kaspr, Derrick generally offers more flexibility and value for teams that rely on Google Sheets and need rich enrichment without needing extra software. Derrick’s pricing is credit-based with a free tier and monthly rollover, plus the ability to scale from Mini to Pro credits, making it easy to align spend with usage. Kaspr uses a credit-based model for contact verification and outreach, but users often need supplementary tools for deeper enrichment. If your priority is cost efficiency at scale and seamless integration into Sheets, Derrick tends to provide better overall pricing value.
What are Derrick's main features vs Apollo for outbound outreach?
+
Derrick operates natively in the web app (or in Google Sheets, Claude and the API), eliminating the need for CSV exports or external platforms that Apollo and Kaspr require. While Apollo focuses on contact database scale with 250+ million records, Derrick differentiates through integrated AI powered by Claude and ChatGPT for automated scoring and segmentation directly in the web app (or in your spreadsheet, Claude and the API). Kaspr focuses on LinkedIn-based phone verification, whereas Derrick provides 50+ enrichment attributes per contact with real-time email validation. Derrick's rollover credits and no credit card requirement for the free tier offer greater flexibility than both competitors for variable outreach workflows.
Can Derrick replace both Apollo and Kaspr in a workflow?
+
Derrick cannot fully replace both Apollo and Kaspr in every workflow, but it can cover many of their core needs depending on your priorities. Derrick excels as a web app enrichment platform (also in Google Sheets, Claude and the API) with real-time email validation, AI scoring and segmentation, and broad integration via Zapier/Make/n8n, all without LinkedIn dependencies. Apollo provides a massive, validated contact database, multi-channel outreach, and CRM workflow automation, while Kaspr emphasizes real-time phone/email verification and LinkedIn-centric prospecting. If your team prioritizes data enrichment depth, multi-channel outreach, or LinkedIn-based sourcing, you may still rely on Apollo or Kaspr for those areas. Derrick can replace or significantly streamline parts of the workflow by handling enrichment, scoring, and automation directly in the web app (or in Sheets, Claude and the API), and its flexible pricing, credits carryover, and no-credit-card-free tier add cost-efficiency. For best results, many teams use Derrick in conjunction with Apollo and/or Kaspr to fill gaps in data breadth, validation, or channel coverage.
