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.

The friction with Closely and LinkedFusion isn't the data quality — it's the workflow shape. Export from the platform, import into Sheets, hope the columns line up. Derrick collapses all of that into a single formula call. The enrichment happens where the data already lives, with the team that already owns the sheet.
Closely starts at $49/sender/month ; LinkedFusion starts at $65/month per account. Both stack credits, seats, and feature unlocks per tier — your actual bill depends on usage you can't always predict upfront. Derrick is $10/month flat, unlimited rows enriched. That's the entire pricing page : one tier, one number, no overage exposure.
For teams adopting AI SDR / RevOps workflows : Derrick's MCP support means your enrichment layer is callable by any compliant agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, n8n with MCP nodes). Closely and LinkedFusion require Zapier or custom code at this layer — a meaningful integration tax as AI-agent stacks mature.
We're upfront - every tool has strengths. Here's where Closely, LinkedFusion, and Derrick each genuinely win.
Headline pricing rarely tells the whole story. Here's the real cost of running each tool for a year.
| Closely | LinkedFusion | Derrick | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price (monthly) | $29 annual / $49 monthly per sender (flat $29 annual across all advertised tiers — old $17 at 6+ senders ELIMINATED 2026) | $65/month per account | €0 (free) · €9/mo paid |
| Annual cost (base) | ~€348/yr | ~€780/yr | €0/yr free · ~€108/yr paid |
| Free plan? | 14-day trial, no credit card | 7-day free trial | ✓ Forever - 100 credits/mo |
| Setup cost | Hours to days | Hours to days | 30 seconds via Marketplace |
| 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 everything in one transparent tier.
