Where Closely bets on automating LinkedIn at scale, Derrick bets on owning the data BEFORE you ever touch LinkedIn. The side-by-side comparison below tracks Closely's account-ban risk, session-breakage downtime and post-action data export quality against Derrick's Sheets-native LinkedIn search and enrichment.

Why Derrick wins
3 core reasons SDRs and ops teams switch to Derrick. Click to expand each.
If your B2B data ends up in Google Sheets anyway (most teams' do), running it through Closely or Expandi first means two unnecessary hops : platform → CSV → Sheets. Derrick removes both hops. One web app, nothing to install (also in Google Sheets, Claude and the API), results in the next column. The unit-of-work shrinks from "run the export" to "enrich the list".
Closely ($49/sender/month) and Expandi ($79/mo (Business, annual) · 14-day free trial) follow the SaaS-standard model : tier the features, cap the credits, upsell when you outgrow it. Derrick works the other way round : one credit balance, six plans from 0 to 320 EUR a month, and unused credits roll over on the paid ones. Predictable spend for teams that hate budgeting around credit-pool refills.
In 2026, AI agents need data tools they can call natively. Derrick speaks MCP out of the box - point Claude at your list, ask "enrich these 200 LinkedIn URLs with mobile numbers", done. Closely and Expandi need either a custom integration or a Zapier middleman for the same workflow.
Honest comparison
We're upfront - every tool has strengths. Here's where Closely, Expandi, and Derrick each genuinely win.
Real annual cost
Headline pricing rarely tells the whole story. Here's the real cost of running each tool for a year.
| Cost item | Closely | Expandi | Derrick |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $29 annual / $49 monthly per sender (flat $29 annual across all advertised tiers, old $17 at 6+ senders ELIMINATED 2026) | $79/mo (Business, annual) · 14-day free trial | €0 (free) · €20/month paid |
| Annual cost (base) | See pricing | ~$948/yr | €0/year free · €240/year on Standard |
| Free plan? | 14-day trial, no credit card | 14-day free trial (no credit card) | ✓ Forever - 100 credits/mo |
| Setup cost | Hours to days | Hours to days | Nothing to install (web app) |
| Switching cost | CSV export + retraining | CSV export + retraining | Zero - works alongside any stack |
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.
